					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not worried at all about Agatha Barbara being a lesbian.  Every human being has his own sexuality and it was her right to be lesbian.  Even a lesbian prime minister doesn&#039;t worry me at all as long as she performs her duties well. What do I care?  But what makes you so sure that Agatha Barbara was a lesbian?  Where did you get this information from?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Uuuuuhhhmmmm, let&#039;s see now. How about observation? Any woman that masculine is going to be homosexual - plus, she had two girlfriends, one installed in a house in Malta and the other installed in a house in Gozo.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Agatha lacked femininity but no one could imply that she&#039;s a lesbian unless you know her personally. Why are the Maltese so worried about have a lesbian prime minister.  So what? Homophobia?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - You are the one who appears worried about it. She was definitely a lesbian, and I don&#039;t consider that an insult. Do you?]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Daphne: It&#039;s funny how you make a living with insults and unrefined descriptions. You make a valid point (outcome of the survey) and taint it with political partialities. Whatever makes you happy! I hope my future is as bright (or dull?) as yours.

@Mark Cuschieri The language you use in describing other human beings merely because they are different from you shows you for what you are - a badly educated and bigotted human being. From your writing, it is clear you have not gone past a bare minimum of education. Freedom of speech is never absolute. That is why there is such a thing as defamation law. If I were to attribute your comments to the &quot;fact&quot; that you are a latent homosexual (which I am not doing), you may well have a &quot;cause of action&quot;. Furthermore, I would probably find the sight of you fondling anything or anyone equally disgusting but what business is it of mine as long as you enjoy what you do? Reducing gay and lesbian love to sexual acts is ample proof that it is you who is in the gutter. No one is asking you to engage in any what you consider disgusting behaviour. If you are heterosexual (and I have no proof of this) and have or will have children who turn out to be gay or lesbian, I hope you will have greater respect towards them than you currently have towards gay men and lesbians. Remember that we are everywhere.]]></description>

However even if in my opinion I find queers fondling each other disgusting..I Never i repeat never went out for gay bashing..I might have used some gay jokes I admit tough during my lifetime. but to say we are all equal is outragoues..no-one is equal..but we are all made of the same matter yes we are all human.

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://daphnecaruanagalizia.com/2009/11/a-lesbian-prime-minister-is-not-ok-but-a-lesbian-president-is-fine/#comment-34540&quot;&gt;Dominic Fenech&lt;/a&gt;.

So Professor Fenech does read this blog, after all. Given his silence on what I had to say about what happened when he was secretary general of the Labour Party, I thought he spent his time reading only the debates of the Legislative Assembly and Lino Spiteri&#039;s novels.

Why doesn&#039;t he tell us whether he knows who the thugs were who set Strickland House on fire? That would be &quot;serious vigilance&quot;, but instead he is just tryingto take credit for Miss Barbara&#039;s appointment to President of Malta.

If Professor Fenech knows who the thugs were, he is in duty bound to go to the police and tell them, or is he waiting for the prescriptive period to pass?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Mark Cuschieri is obviously Made in Malta. Do they still let neolitihics like him run around the streets? There is no doubt that some and I repeat some PN supporters called Agatha Barbara xadina but is this not their Catholic way of undermining anyone who has the balls to challenge the rubbish that they say they stand for? A party for and of the church? My bloody foot! In one single blow - entry into the EU - they not only destroyed the country&#039;s economy but also the Catholic Church in Malta. True, entry into the EU was inevitable but it was badly managed. www.queermalta.com.]]></description>
