Dreadnought pics are now up; hopefully a few more to come.

I had clean forgotten [livejournal.com profile] feanelwa was popping over yesterday afternoon to grab a shiny new old Ixus 400 (immaculate condition, one owner from new who never took it outside looks like). She had come from a variably pleasant day at the Pride march (GAYS are NORMAL PEOPLE: they are just as STUPID, IGNORANT and BIGOTED as ANYONE), melting in the sun and not quite burning to a frazzle. I grabbed a freshly-charged battery for the gadget and we ascertained it was in the best of working order. She had a sensible outfit for not melting in.

LGBT stands for "lesbians, GAY GAY GAY MEN W00T BOYS GAY TRALALALALALA and tr*ns." (Bisexuals don't exist.) For a subculture that touts the greater artistic sensitivities of (young white middle-class male) gays, the jarringly awful aesthetics are really special. Starting with that fucking rainbow flag.

Why, this has the inimitable scent of an incipient Uncyclopedia entry...

Diva strikes again, a few of those are really quite sweet. You've got some quite nice ones there of Flick, too.

The whole if July beckons and I've just topped up my monthly 1-3 travelcard. I should come and see you.

...and I have no bisexuals in it. Must remedy this. Vel (character in my novel) says making love with women in like eating soy burgers -- he can do it if he works at it and pretends they're something else (haven't put these lines in the novel yet; William Burroughs will get credit for the original women are like hamburger; men are like steak).

You're beginning to sound like the head of costuming at one of the many universities I've attended who was complaining about his bank officer coming on to him. "Why can't those people stay in the closet where they belong?"

(Still bouncing off the walls after yesterday's fiction fest of 15 or so pages and whatever the fuck words so rough they're drafty).

Please - no more enormous capitals!

I was semi-comatose from a day spent baling hay and they jumped out at me when I switched the 'puter on and now I'm all awake again...

Came back and saw the article. I laughed hysterically. You reminded me of the white boys who assume because William Shakespeare was a better writer than any woman, they are William Shakespeare's full and proper heirs.

Disraeli at a Pride Event? Only with full irony engaged.

I do, however, need to get out more.

And yet, by the 25th Century, according to noted Mormon SF producer, they will have taken over the world. If you can make it out, check out the insignia.

This flag? Yeah...
I could make a fortune if I told science about all this bisexuals I keep finding...
The BiFlag is easier to coordinate with anyway.

Gay boys are just soo straight. For a movement based on diversity it's very conformist. Young - check, white - check, short hair - check, whistle - check.

When I was at College ULU Lesbian and Gay Soc (sic) decided it was going to be male-only as women never came along anyway. UCL Lesbian, Bisexual and Gay Society had a small group of women but they wouldn't speak to me as I was bisexual. I don't think there were any others and I didn't actually attend anything.

I'm guessing the T in LGBT means that there are as many T's as there were B's in my day - ie none but we like the name.
