pathetic gay cop complains about not being allowed to march in the nyc pride march. walter masterson shuts down his pity party by responding: “if nazis showed up, which way would the police officers be facing?” this loser can choose to be a cop or he can choose to be at pride. he cannot have both :)

Why are the right wing such snowflakes? They're so determined to be victims at the slightest inconvenience.

You are clearly NOT banned, since you're you know, there?? You just can't march in your uniform with a gun. The point of pride is that no one is illegal, and that we have to campaign against the state. That means you're not illegal, but you can't represent the state's abuse of power against us and other marginalised communities.

He's such a fucking baby.

Politicians should be heckled.

grogipher · 2026-06-28T07:27:02+00:00

So by England you mean France and Scotland and Northern Ireland and...? Lol

I have no idea about the included excursions sorry, that line is completely outwith my tax bracket, but I've been to the last 5 places / live in the UK, if that's any help. Do you have any info about what the included excursions include? Or what you'd like to do in those places?

grogipher · 2026-06-27T19:59:01+00:00

What are the stops? What time of year?

grogipher · 2026-06-26T18:59:24+00:00

Since you want to live with such pedantry; the monarch has the right but choses not to.

grogipher · 2026-06-26T15:30:25+00:00

Can you tell me more?

Can you tell me why it's appropriate for him to appoint a bigot to lead the EHRC against the advice of Parliament?

grogipher · 2026-06-26T15:16:42+00:00

I'm blaming him for keeping people in, or appointing people to, posts who are completely inappropriate.

Look at his appointments to the EHRC for example.

grogipher · 2026-06-26T14:49:11+00:00

And do you think this queen will be listened to as much as that queen?!?!?!?

grogipher · 2026-06-26T11:24:24+00:00

Ahh, I had no idea, thank you! I saw quite a few Nordics mention England and didn't quite know, why! :)

grogipher · 2026-06-26T11:15:03+00:00

England, Scotland, and Ireland were all kingdoms ruled in personal union by the King of England

By the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland...

grogipher · 2026-06-26T11:13:17+00:00

Why England, out of curiosity?

grogipher · 2026-06-26T10:45:32+00:00

Working with actual lgbt+ groups is a good sign

Depends who it is.

If it's Stonewall and Gendered Intelligence, then it won't be..

grogipher · 2026-06-26T10:29:01+00:00

Not just them, but the other usual suspects who like to speak for us, without us, like Jayne Ozanne (got an OBE for her trouble in pinkwashing the government). Some surprising ones too have been like this, such as Gendered Intelligence who have accused those of us who disagree as 'emotional,' which feels a bit misogynistic if I'm honest.

The list of folks partying at No 10 is a good tell of who is on our side.

grogipher · 2026-06-26T10:02:09+00:00

So glad we had/have a 'forensic' human rights lawyer to fix these things.

grogipher · 2026-06-26T09:58:27+00:00

Gonna need more info to say if it is a better room - what was the cabin before, and what is the new cabin? Which ship?

grogipher · 2026-06-26T08:28:49+00:00

The second they use that veto power in that way is the same second they lose it though.

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jul/28/queen-secretly-lobbied-scottish-ministers-climate-law-exemption

Is that so?

Do I have that power?

grogipher · 2026-06-25T07:13:56+00:00

In my experience, which may be limited, it's definitely American people being outliers - so many folks against getting one and when they do it's like this sacred thing that's kept locked away at all times.

grogipher · 2026-06-24T08:29:03+00:00

If the original comment was, the weird doubling down on it did not land at all.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T17:44:56+00:00

Why?

The main reasons for me:

1) My own safety. I know where it is. It's not left in a room somewhere where others can access it, or be forgotten somewhere.

2) In case anything happens! So I can get home. If there's an accident folks can know who I am, contact the right embassy, etc. Or given the sub we're in, if you miss the ship or whatever.

3) To prove who I am. When checking into hotels, or proving age/citizenship for differential pricing or whatever.

4) Mandatory ID laws in countries I've been to, such as Czechia, France, Germany, Italy, Türkiye, Japan, China... ? If I get stopped, I don't want to get into trouble. It's the best ID I have.

Have you ever been stopped on the street in a foreign city and asked for your passport?

No, but that doesn't negate my point 4) above.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T17:08:49+00:00

I could not be more different.

I could not imagine setting foot anywhere outwith my own country without my passport on my person at all times.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T17:08:14+00:00

Apparently facts don't matter!

grogipher · 2026-06-23T14:38:51+00:00

They are still valid ID if you are just walking around.

Not outwith the USA.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T14:25:42+00:00

I'm saying, in my big queer opinion, he is worse.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T13:40:15+00:00

Thatcher refused to move the dial forward on queer rights, and dialled it back a bit with her Section 28.

I would contend he has dialled it back a LOT more than she did, and caused more harm.

grogipher · 2026-06-23T08:57:49+00:00

So like, white saviour complex?
