Sodomy, All at Sea

Tealeaf · 21-02-2005, 17:06

I nearly died choking on my Weetabix this morning. The cause of this event? An article on the radio stating that HM Government, not satisfied with reducing the Royal Navy to a size somewhat smaller than the Swiss Fleet, have now decided that in order to bolster it's recruitment numbers, it is to enlist the assistance of an organisation by the name of "Stonewall".

I'd never heard of this particular outfit before, and thinking it was just another Google Page Ranking/Advertising agency, I was gobsmacked to find that it is a lobby group for the dykes and puffters. Amongst their term of reference is that of ensuring that warships (if indeed we do have any left) have quarters which are "Gay and Lesbian" friendly.

Well, personally I prefer a warship to be a warship, and well there may truth in the old adage of the Royal Navy being about "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash" I do not think that putting the emphasis on the sodomy is going to do us very much good to the perception of our fighting capabilities by our potential enemies. Quite honestly, they must be p***ing their pants with laughter by now. I can just see Brunos Aires dusting off their Malvinas maps and the Iranians ready to lift some more "Jolly Tars" in the Gulf.

What a madhouse our navy is becoming.

Always thought, that section of our armed forces was renown for the pink gin set

chav1 · 21-02-2005, 18:27

vorlon24 · 21-02-2005, 19:12

I shouldn't think so g78. It's not personal and it's not discriminatory. It’s a matter of it makes no difference what you are black, white, gay or female. It’s only becomes discrimination when you treat one better than another. A couple of boy’s on a ship mucking in is one thing making allowance because they are gay is another.

g78 · 21-02-2005, 20:42

True, but most saying that gay people cant fight and represent their country is discriminatory and can be personal.

Doug · 21-02-2005, 21:01

I understand what your saying and I agree that there is open discrimination, my feelings on the matter is that people should just be what they are and get on with their lives. There is acceptance of lesbian and gay communities and has been for years, unfortunately some go too far and want to be recognised for the fact that they are different and openly seek confrontation. Live and let live should be the bench mark here, people, gay or otherwise should just get on with it and enjoy their lives.

the navy could fire the bum boys at the enemy, one or two DIRECT HITS could mean surrender

hey i agree they have just as much right to die for their country as much as the next man

jimmy sumerville ( lead singer of the comunards for those too young to know) goes so far with the gay pride crap he actual has been quoted as saying if your not gay then your the abnormal one
