       The rainbow flag was brilliant - showed us that Landajo is
       completely useless.

       I would guess most of us know gay people. I'd also suggest that
       a lot of gay people have an interesting sense of humour, fairly
       self deprecating. But then so do people with disabilities, for
       example. I knew a chap in a wheelchair who nicknamed himself
       "Ironside". And a gay chap who loved the nickname "Queenie",
       given by his husband. Ironically, one of the gay chap's
       colleagues was reprimanded for using homophobic language because
       another colleague had complained.
       Therein lies a big part of the problem. People rush to be
       offended and suddenly the so called offence is deemed "phobic".
       One man's humour is another man's insult, and it can be a fine
       line.

       That is a great article, thank you for sharing. A good answer to
       my earlier question about the impact of such a day.

       That's a great article, thanks for sharing. I also thought the
       video from Jade Konkel was particularly affecting:

       Great that we can have these discussions in the club, and that
       we have players who can speak up.
