Yesterday I was sitting at the railway station <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting for Martha as I normally do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When I saw two rather plump girls holding hands <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They smiled at me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I smiled back <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They were obviously bicycles at the very least <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt no malice towards them <\/p>\n\n\n\n
None at all <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This set me thinking as about a year ago I was sitting on the same bench <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When two faggots kissed each other in full view of a number of children <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I felt physically sick and seriously considered pointing out the error of their ways <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am by no means a violent chap (although I am in a long conversation with Mark about the morality of political assassinations which is interesting) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe is decent chap who believes in God <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is why I dislike decay <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward an hour and Martha and I were in a bookshop <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had already taken against it as the window display was primarily aimed a children <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Famous Five <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Biggles <\/p>\n\n\n\n
William <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not a fucking chance <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter has Two Daddy’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lesley or Leslie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And many other brightly coloured books <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aimed in the mainly at children <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a malignancy in our society <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Martha completed her purchase <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I asked Jennifer and her Pronoun whether the bookshop <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stocked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Well of Loneliness <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By Radclyffe Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jennifer and her Pronoun <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looked puzzled and asked if it was a new book <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I explained that it was first published in 1928 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The reply was priceless <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It may be out of print then <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martha was pretending to read a book about black history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it had no pages <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She lightly kicked me on the ankle and mouthed behave <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fast forward to the England game which was fucking awful <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The displays around the pitch were more interesting <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They kept going on about hate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hate what is hate <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hate is caused when malignant minorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are considered equal and championed by those who wish to promote chaos <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would not say that I hate but I am easily disgusted like most decent people <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then I saw the captains rainbow armband which made it all okay <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I had been the England captain I would have refused to wear the armband <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the current one is pretty vacant and likes pretty colours (what a cunt) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did read that a footballer (I think in France) refused to wear a faggot badge on his shirt and covered it with tape <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shit hit the fan and the REAL haters came to the surface <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have always believed in being direct <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is that a bad thing Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
