How tiresomely try-hard

The Labour Party is currently flying the Gay Pride flag in place of the Labour flag at its Mile End HQ. No inappropriate jokes, please, though I really do feel like cracking a few myself.
If somebody tried to court my vote so blatantly and opportunistically, I would make a point of not giving it to them.
Perhaps they think most people are as cheap as they are.

Its always a start. Nobody has ever done this in Malta, so its a start. Whether its an opportunistic tactic or not, it doesn’t really matter, because the cause is greater.
Here in new york, stores on 5th avenue decorated their display windows in pride-themed colours, the empire state building was lit in rainbow colours and many major banks displayed the pride flag. You can see it as a tactic and it just might be so, but it serves a bigger purpose.
The queen is in residence, I see.
Has Jason been reappointed Secretary General of the Labour party?
The flag also belongs to the pacifist and multicultural movements. That means integration of ethnic minorities.
If you’re gay you must be Labour, as long as you’re Maltese.
I am gay and I will never vote Labour.
They think we need ‘solidarity’ because jahasra we are weak and vulnerable. To them, gays are just hairdressers and little queens from Cottonera who need a sugar daddy… the bloody pigeon-holing bigots.
Pfff xi dwejjaq ta’ nies.
… alas, i fear most people are.
But apparently Chris Said spoke brilliantly u bis-sens at the actual parade.
But of course Cyrus that little worm, wouldn’t put THAT on his Facebook page.
Cyrus has put up a list on his Facebook page of the Labour clubs that are “proudly flying the gay flag”.
He even says “It was the first time I felt proud representing a political party during Malta Pride. Proud of Partit Laburista’s stand on Civil Rights and Equality.” Vera nies opportunisti. Tal-biki.
Ftit gimghat ohra jibda r-Ramadan. X’imhatra jtelghu bandiera hadra ta’ l-Islam b’solidarjeta’ ma’ huthom il-Musulmani. Imma ahjar le, ghax inkella JPOS jiksira maghhom.
Daqt itellghu wahda tal-Partit Nazzjonalista.
Fifty shades of Labour.
Courting votes?
I will never forget Sant tried to buy them with two months income tax.
I see nothing wrong with this.
Totally appropriate in fact, this being the party that when eventually in government will f@&# the country in the #%+.
Judging by the size of the flag, it must have been chosen by Kurt Farrugia.
Unfortunately so little has ever been done to recognise even the mere existence of a gay society in Malta that this will go a very long way. Give a starving man your leftovers and he’ll deem it a banquet.
Courting votes? With all the pantomimes within the PN, no need! besides last election was a difference of approx. 1500 votes, I guess there are more gays on´the island.
