Leo patronises gays

Definitely not a hot gay icon

I had just finished writing tomorrow’s newspaper column, on the subject of how patronising the Labour Party is towards homosexuals and how its people sound just like the way politicians used to talk about women 20 years ago (“kapaci daqs l-irgiel” etc), when I was sent Leo Brincat’s thoughts on the subject.

Here’s his comment, posted on the Malta Gay Rights website:

Leo Brincat

I will attend not just out of solidarity but in full support of their rights. Sympathy alone is not enough. Near the Surfside today @ 10.30am.

LGBT individuals are indeed part of society.

B’appogg ghall kawza xierqa. U ghas sejha taghhom ghall drittijiethom. Wara kollox dawn huma parti mis-socjeta’ ta’ pajjizna wkoll! Narawkhom hemm – Hdejn is-Surfside dalghodu @ 10.30am.

I am quite sure that there are plenty of people who think of homosexuals in terms of ‘them’ and ‘jahasra’ and ‘msieken’ and ‘sympathy’ and how THEY are part of OUR society TOO.

But I know that it will be immediately obvious to most of my readers what is so very wrong with his attitude.

Let’s face it, he’s also showing his age.

    If only these people knew how much I piss myself laughing at them.

    Thanks, Daphne.

    I wonder what Labour has to say about the position of Sergei Stanishev, now President of the Party of European Socialists, who had declared that he was against such (gay pride) demonstrations.

    Ahjar imur jaghmel ftit kalkoli halli jara kif se jzommu d-deficit taht it-3% meta jkollna gvern dilettantesk, bil-weghdi kollha li qeghed jaghmel siehbu Joseph.

    L-ahhar darba li ddeffes f’xi haga, kien ghamel froga bic-CET u waqa ghan-nejk f’Xarabank fejn ma kienx jaf jirrispondi mistoqsija wahda. Il-cameras gibdu ‘close up’ fuqu u nqabad ifittex ir-risposti fil-karti ma xi canvaser li kien bil-qeghda hdejh. Wiccu kien kompletament bahh u skantat.

    Gimgha qabel ma dahlet ic-CET, il-ministru responsabbli mid-dhul ta’ dik it-taxxa ma kellux ideja wahda kif se tahdem it-taxxa!

    Dik l-image ta’ wiccu cass u konfuz ghadha ttimbrata f’mohhi sal-llum.

    Why is he grimacing in the photo? Is that his version of a smile?
