Stonewall and the British National Party

In your face advertising from Stonewall

Recently, Stonewall, the homosexual pressure group has been running a campaign to promote a positive message about homosexuals in our communities. This campaign was linked to a change in the law that they were supporting to to make an amendment to the Criminal Justice and Immigration Bill that would make it an offence to link homosexuality to paedophilia.

I will reiterate my personal stance on homosexuality later in this article. But first the amendment to the law and the debate in the House of Lords.

Liberal Democrat peer Lord Thomas of Gresford told the House:

"We are concerned about the suggestion very frequently made by the British National Party and others that homosexuality and paedophilia are directly connected and that a person who is homosexual has a propensity to be a paedophile.

Now I am not sure whether or not the BNP has ever stated that, but what hacked me off about the Stonewall campaign was the full in the face statement of their adverts. Pictured top.

Neither am I pleased that apart from the 600 billboards carrying their message, they distributed posters, stickers and postcards to 5,000 schools. Young children should be left alone to develop at a natural pace. So in response to Stonewall, I asked Norman D Landings of Abex to design the following poster. Thank you NDL.

Get used to it. Now back to the Amendment to the Law. It was ruled unnecessary and quite rightly dropped on the grounds that the current provisions of the hate(thought) crimes laws are sufficient.

Earl Ferrers described the amendment as, 'rather alarming'. He said, 'I find it frightening because you will end up with people being too frightened to say anything. To accept the amendment would be a retrograde step.'

I urge you to read the above link that points to research carried out by Pierre J. Trembley.

Now as for my personal stance, it is this. I do not care what people do in the privacy of their own homes. I do not care what their sexuality is and have no problems with working with or socialising with homosexuals. I have no problem with them being members of the British National Party. The BNP policy is Don't ask and Don't tell. A sensible policy.

I do however have a problem with homosexuals serving in the armed forces (an article for the future) and have a major problem with groups like Stonewall promoting it in schools as if it is something to be proud of. I do have a problem with the "age of consent" being 16. I have a problem with young boys being buggered by predatory homosexuals but that is the law at the moment and should be changed via the democratic process.

But how stupid are people who clap a "celebrity" for being gay and rolling on the floor laughing at terms like "fisting" and "rimming"? Do they even know what they mean?

Something to be proud of is being a part of a Family that is made up of a Mother, Father and Children. Perhaps we should have Parades and fly flags from City Halls in Support of Families, which at the end of the day are the future.

Some time ago I wrote an article with many sources of reference on homosexuality. You can go read it here. It is not for those with weak stomaches. The article is not an attack on tangerines, it just a pointer to information that is in the public domain, although I am sure there are those who would prefer it not to be.
