In fact, Cyrus is now already just another face in a list of 709 members (as of today) of LGBT Labour Facebook.

The &quot;proset Cyrus, you have balls&quot; comments on his wall are now trickling in at the rate of 1 or 2 a day and attention has turned elsewhere.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - &#039;Proset Cyrus you have balls&#039; - so crass. Life in Malta has become just like one l-o-n-g episode of Jerseylicious.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

David II, this has nothing to do with the topic under discussion, and perhaps I&#039;m nit-picking, but I couldn&#039;t help wondering whether you were on first name terms with two cabinet ministers.

Even if you are so close to them (which I very much doubt), don&#039;t you feel that referring to them by their first name is rather rude? Not that you&#039;d care, of course.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It is not true Cyrus in PN was &#039;Cyrus the politician&#039; and Cyrus in PL will be &quot;labelled&quot;. That Cyrus was being bandied around by the PN had EVERYTHING to do with his orientation.

PN was giving prominence to him and Karl Gouder purely on the basis of their orientation, to give the impression that, hey we&#039;re not so &#039;backwards&#039; after all.

Obviously, Karl Gouder sees nothing wrong with his own party doing that, but Cyrus did.

Yes, maybe PL may be gaining mileage out of Cyrus&#039;s orientation but at least it has an LGBT agenda (albeit unsatisfactory on some counts). PN has none. Any self-respecting LGBT individual would not vote PN, especially after Dolores and Austin&#039;s comments.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh for heaven&#039;s sake, what is &#039;an LGBT agenda&#039; and why on earth do you imagine it&#039;s desirable to be ghettoised in that fashion? Fantastic: Joseph Muscat builds a ghetto and the less intelligent homosexuals, bisexuals and trans-sexuals trickle in, while the smarter ones stay in the mainstream. This is like a hamster who walks into a cage and wonders why he&#039;s still there two years later.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

Why wasn&#039;t my post/comment uploaded?

Regards,

Al, ka chunky

[&lt;strong&gt;Daphne - Which one and when? If it contained the words &#039;homosexual&#039;, &#039;sex&#039; or similar, it probably went straight into spam and I didn&#039;t notice it.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
