Re: Saints and Mr. Gilbert feature in New York Times.
It was rather ironic that during the "Pride" celebrations at the SCG the background level 2 signage constantly displayed advertising for Qatar airways.
Is that the same modern progressive Qatar that imports "slave" African labourers and where homosexuality is punishable by death?
Clearly the AFL's degree of pride isn't deep enough to stop them lining their pockets with the filthy tainted lucre from these medieval SCUM!

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

in a true celebration of unbiased capitalism, were selling whiskey and other stuff to his regime - and this came out in the media.
The pursuit of money over-rides morality and fair play.

Re: Saints and Mr. Gilbert feature in New York Times.
Well said, EM. This is the hypocrisy and malarkey you come to expect in the 21st century. Talks of social progression and human rights, yada-yada-yada, but here we are living in the day in age of corporate tyranny, where all that stuff can take a backseat so the CEO can take his family vacation in the Swiss Alps.Enrico_Misso wrote:It was rather ironic that during the "Pride" celebrations at the SCG the background level 2 signage constantly displayed advertising for Qatar airways.

There was also irony with the first Pride match last year, with it being hosted at Etihad Stadium. Because, you know, the Saudis have such a renowned peaceful culture for tolerance of LGBTI people and all.

Re: Saints and Mr. Gilbert feature in New York Times.

Re: Saints and Mr. Gilbert feature in New York Times.
You are so superior. Magnificent virtue signalling. Bring me up to speed as to the statement I made, rather than abuse me and make illogical comparisons. Nicely brainwashed. Better a sensible Neanderthal than a member of the "sheople". What they do in private is their business. It's legal as well, so no problems with that. Just can't see what there is to be proud about when the psychological and health outcomes of the practise are so devastating. It's an ugly reality the gay lobby goes to great lengths to cover up. Higher rates of mental illness, std's, compromised immunity etc. no cause for celebration there, methinks.BringBackMadDog wrote:What a moronic ignorant statement to make.

Re: Saints and Mr. Gilbert feature in New York Times.
So what's the issue? The use of the word "Pride"?
Perhaps renaming it to Molly and Friends Round is in order, if it is ticking people off so much.
