Political Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoEveryone should be worried by this, but if you’re a girl in the UK education system particularly so. We are going the way of the US, and not in the good sense.

It will be interesting to see if this gets any genuine traction for the second reading (Jan 2012) . Since this bill was introduced using the 10 minute rule there was little debate so it’s worth a read: http://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2011-05-04a.679.0

Anyone else fathomed why the Tories have the largest percentage of out gay MPs? This one actually voted for Section 28 [equivalent to Tennessee’s new ‘don’t say gay’ law] and against lowering the age of consent for gay men (which was 21 as opposed to 16 for straights.)…[Read more]

Political Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoOh well, this is just wonderful: http://www.sparkindarkness.com/2011/05/ban-on-same-sex-kisses-pre-watershed.html
“But apparently there’s a report recommending banning same-sex kissing before the watershed [before 9pm. After 9pm more sexually explicit material is brodcast, to protect the children]. And Cameron backs it.”

I go to college in Atlanta, but can think of no specific advice to give at the moment. Well, ok, Little Five Points is really cool and you will prolly wanna go to concerts at Variety Playhouse (I’ve seen Ani, Tegan and Sara and The Weepies to name a few) but be careful after dark. Of course, I’m kinda assuming you’re not from the Atlanta area.…[Read more]
