I would have thought they were "out" already...

It seems God is not the only one who hates fags(ref to another post), let people live their life in peace - life is too short.

Hardly a surprise with the attitudes in this country.

I thought that Derry had moved on from this. Sadly not.

 i always had the muckers down as a very open minded,live and let live, type of community. . . .

[The Watcher Pat]

Disgrace...live and let live thats what i say...As long as one doesnt try to touch me up...Not that theres much chance of that happening...They have taste...lol

Sad to see this sort of carry in in this day and age.

I mean men kissing men!

Joking of course, the guys persucuting them should be ashamed.

OK then ....

The painting pink of THAT wall in the Bogside area was all very nice and pretty during Gay Price Week last summer, some communities are very good at PR and symbolism, but hatred and intolerance within still seem to be able to thrive. Not much point trying to show tolerance through window dressing when the goons are stilll engaging in pathetic hate-crimes is there.

Picking (repeatedly) on a couple who are not only gay but also elderly and one of them disabled.  Disgusting.

You can't paint the whole of the Bogside with one brush GweylTah. The actions of the few thugs, shouldn't reflect the whole community.
