Re: Politics in General

In what sense? I can't think of any obvious examples, possibly apart from RuPaul's Drag Race. Such as Dancing On Ice with H and Matt. I was being facetious by mentioning a specific programme, but have you got any stronger evidence than popular TV output having a gay presenter? They were a couple so...

Re: Politics in General

I’m not sexist or homophobic I just believe that LGBT 🏳️‍🌈 people get mentioned more and they have LGBT month, why don’t we have Heterosexual month??? The need for any event like this is effectively showing two fingers to those who would wish to oppress people of whatever the group is in question. ...

Re: Politics in General

There are always going to be differences between men and women and ethnic minorities. Women generally would prefer going to knitting or sewing circles although men are capable of both activities. I have been a rambler for many years and the amount of ramblers that are people of colour is almost nil...

Im a bit in the middle of this debate, I think 15R finals offer a better game and more opportunity for the players to show there talent, however changing the format for the final seems a bit strange but yet again does it really matter as the format was changed for the finals on the show from 2-45, I...

If not then you ought to do that before thinking of organising one, to get an idea of how they work and what's involved in running them. 2.
