Canterbury, the city that simply isn’t queer enough (according to equality campaigners)

  1. What, are they trying Separate But (more than) Equal in England now? Why can’t the gays go to a regular bar with everyone else? I gather they all have super Gaydar, and can spot each other in a crowd, so what’s the beef?

  2. Here’s the fun part. 

    Why is any portion of government required to open a bar, either gay or straight?

    Don’t bar owners open bars of any sort where they think they will make money? 

    Isn’t Pride in Canterbury allowed to open a gay bar if they choose?  Why haven’t they opened one if they deem it important?

    Does that mean that the bitches are bitching just to be bitchy? 

    I can’t decide if I want to call this dumb or insane.  Either way, I think they have medications that may help.

  3. Even more amusing just up the road from Canterbury is Margate which a group of turds on a BBC program called “The Apprentice” tried to rebrand as a new gay holiday destination. Given the numbers of middle eastern deadbeat asylum seekers the government has dumped there in the past decade I would have thought that might be a hard sell.

  4. My reaction to this:

    Then save up, buy a bar, and open it with that theme in Canterbury.  If you can’t afford to do so, have a nice big cold glass of STFU at the gay bar 17 miles away, and quit looking for everyone else to pay the way for your little corner of what you consider “heaven”.

  5. As it happens I used to live in Canterbury. Before the socialists ruined Britain. One of the nicer aspects about Canterbury was the fact there was only one nightclub and the city council would not allow it to stay open past 11pm when the pubs shut. Contrast this to Margate where the nightclubs were open to 2am and the streets at 2am were full of drunks urinating in the street and throwing up etc. It was a much nicer place all around. Of course this has undoubtedly changed for the worse. Labour decided the rules about pub opening hours were too antiquated so they screwed around with it and the result is even more drunks with all the attendant costs in policing and hospitals. There is something wrong with the British psyche that they can’t seem to have a good time without getting shit faced and this applies to both men and women. The streets of most towns are like a war zone on Friday and Saturday nights. However to return to the subject as the article points out Margate is not far away and there is a bus and train service which runs between the two towns. Oh and there is a pub in Ramsgate called the East Kent Arms which is the same distance. We always referred to it as the East Bent Arms as it was run by a couple of fruits so it’s not like they don’t have a choice.

  6. Wait a minute...doesn’t the Archbishop of Canterbury...reside in Canterbury? If he does I rest my case. If he doesn’t I rest my case anyway.

  7. Lyndon, speaking of the BBC tho briefly.
    They have named the new head of religious programing. A muslim ... no joke.

    In other queer news, and I am not surprised. Won’t mean anything to Americans but ...

    Lyndon will know about the Euro-vision talent contest as Brits are entered too. It is a big do on this side of the water. Well ... telecast will be from Moscow and there’s a spot of worry over the possibility that the world might view Russian cops maybe beating some heads if there’s a parade that has not been given an ok.

    Yeah ... the boys in pink tights whose organization name I forgot, they are I think eastern europeon ... well they want their queer pride parade. In Moscow. The mayor said forget about it. Well, more like Nyet Het?. (I’m not certain I have the spelling but no matter in this case.) So they are calling on supporters within the Euro-Vision contest which has a large homosexual following, to come out and support them in their quest for a parade so they can show everyone how proud they are to be deviant.

    What?  Can’t an even take place anywhere but that they must have a parade alongside?
