Nevertheless a good proportion of the shows were deliberately provocative. However they struck me as satirical and quite depressive. I may have felt furious as a younger man but now I feel as much sympathy for myself as for the flamboyant feeble mortals.

That maybe because, despite my efforts to conform to religious code, I never quite understood what drives the raging excitement and livid furiousness against homosexuality.

But of course you can’t spend a lifetime chasing your tail over answering every single question that crosses your mind. I hate to play Pascal’s wager but sometimes it seems to be the safest way out of some of such intellectual ‘deathtraps’.

Second: You do not even know me yet you feel the need to call me an idiot, is this the tolerance that you are preaching?

Third: At what time during the dancing and showing off of their bodies during this parade were they opposing the “anti-gay” laws you speak of?

Fourth: You seem to be an expert on nothing else but digression on ranting. I will speak out against evil every chance that I get, this is my duty as a Muslim…so you will have to excuse me if I don’t “shut the heck up”. The rest of your comments are nothing more than garbage and senseless words (stomping etc…) Please do comment when you have something of substance to say. Until then, happy ranting!

As a heterosexual who volunteered at Gay Pride this year,let me say that I never saw those half naked men of whom you talk about. But if you mean they had no shirts on(which IS half naked) then I saw plenty and in that case,let me defend them by saying it’s summer and hot!
Somehow I don’t see you complaining about the women,some of who wear short shorts and bikini tops. Hypocritical much? So until you start complaining about the women too, go frak yourself.
I digress. So what if they are half naked,like some people said, it is the one day they get to be themselves without fear of being attacked,bullied or bloodied up or meeting idiots like you. Let them be!
And there ARE anti-gay laws in the USA. Our “wonderful” president is pushing a law to ban gay marriage/civil unions,hate laws(because it’d protect those “unnatural” sinners) and has left it up to the states to handle the issue of LGBT issues which they have been doing oh so well: A govt worker in Florida was fired after she transitioned MTF and they gave some weak reason that she missed work for a week.

I rant. My point: If they and we(supporters or “enablers”) are not in your damn face, shut the heck up. I doubt you’re bold enough to go face to face to some gay men and spout off this crap because you know damn well you will be stomped!

*sorry if i didn’t comment on NUS or whatever;don’t live in England*

OMG, you actually wrote accountable to the Ummah. Lets not live in Ummahtic CLoud Cuckoo land. What on earth does that mean in the NUS context? The entrenched isoc interest? The less organised muslims? all of our parents? The need of the ummah for the muslim britons to be smart and forwardly stanced and to support them in the shared challenge of development?

Muslim strategy and tactics at the uni and umbrella uni are rubbish.

This gay muslim scene is really quite developed. i wonder where it will go.
