In the recent past even the most miserable homosexuals suddenly became gay.

#3 I don’t know what it’s literal meaning is either Louis, but as like all bad smells is hard to get rid of. They used to say , take deep. Breaths to rid the air quicker. Once you get over the gagging things may get better. JS

Re: Woke to you as well
Well we had the march in Sydney for Pride, the LGBTQI lot.
The 'I' I am informed is for Intersexual.
Well nothing new there, you may recall years ago when we were a bit younger we were all inta sexual, getting sex where ever we could.
Then the rather well endowed young lady with a lisp.
Went to see the GP, who said he needed to check her breathing with his stethoscope, big breaths he said,
Yeth she said and I only thixteen.

Re: Woke to you as well
That Yearly Gay and Lessie Mardi Gras on this Week , and once again there will be Thousands lining the Streets in Kings Bleedin Cross! Oxford Street will again become a street of Sin! Boy do they do things !
Quite a bif event here in Aussie these days , and had grown so much over the Years. Even the Police, Navy and Army have contingents in there!
I recall about 6 Yeras back now i went on the Saturday , got quite a nice vantage point, but Oh! after about 20minutes, that was it i was off heading back to the Hotel i had Booked! Had a nice Quiet Evening after that and rested ! LOL
They must spend a fortune on all the Costumes, Floats etc! I have heard that after the Parade is done, there is then many many Parties arranged with the Entrants at various Private Housed, Flats around that Area, Wonder what goes on behind all those closed Doors ! LOL
Eeeeeeek !!!!

Re: Woke to you as well
The mind boggles Vernon . I think when you met those inclined that way on ships , they were paragons of respectability compared with some of the antics ashore visible to very young and very old alike. It’s their own business what they do in private , but to allow in public is not my cup of tea. Politicians using it as a political vote gatherer does not attract me either. JS

Re: Woke to you as well
In our days they were there and you saw them but they did not cavort around as they do today.
Bloody great workers as well accepting who they were and taking life as it was.
Met two on a cruise last year, both about 40, been together for 14 years and married for about 5.
They did not have a very good opinion of these 'cavorters' saying it gave quiet guys like them a bad feel.
Saying theye are whet they are and do not need to go showing the world or asking for special recognition.
