Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual and Transgender groups.Well I am an out and proud gay man. Out because I see no reason to hide it and proud for my achievements. However, I see absolutely no reason to need to have a 'label'. With the deepest respect to my queer friends and neighbours who do require it, there is, to me, an insidiousness in this flag waving and foot stamping about LGBTQIA2S+ 'rights' and a need to have a specific recognition for that. Where does it stop? Do we need a separate section for people of colour, for Jews or even mechanics? Surely, this new surge in 'positive discrimination' is the 21st century version of segregation or, God forbid, apartheid? Yes I am gay but, first and foremost I am Barry. I am a disabled 55yr old medically retired Christian Spiritualist with too many interests and character flaws to list before the need to 'label' me. Can't we just accept and value each other?
