Many of my gay friends can’t even vote.

Erm, not really, Gg.

I can assure you my many gay friends vote Nationalist and consider Muscat’s prototypes as hamalli.

What jars is the forced image compounded by an absolute vacuum between the ears.

Actually the PN have has the only, self declared homosexual man elected to parlament and now holding a high position within the party. In addition, it had a number of others holding high positions even up to the Prime Minister’s office.

And all of this was done in a very natural (as it should be) way.

The PN considered gays as hamalli, pufi and paedophiles.

[Daphne – On the contrary, the Nationalist Party did not make a special case of gay people and fools mistook that for ‘contempt’. It is precisely because no special case or circus act was made of gay people in the Nationalist Party that these fools imagined there were none and were being ‘blocked’. It is the Labour Party which labelled gay men as pufti and thought of them as paedophiles, hence the ongoing rebranding crusade. Incidentally, exactly what does ‘hamalli’ have to do with it?

As a woman who entered the workforce and adult society in the misogynistic and chauvinistic 1980s, I can tell you through experience that it is exactly those people who make a special case of you who have marked you out as different and inadequate and who are therefore overcompensating and, in the process, patronising you. I refused to join any women’s groups or to accept inclusion in anything on the basis that I was a woman. If, in any situation, I was presented as a freak show – a woman who could actually write and who had political views – I left. Gay men (and women, though the women are smarter in this respect having already had the experience of being women) are very stupid indeed to allow themselves to be turned into circus acts and showcased by the inherent contradiction of ‘Look, see? This freak is actually quite a normal person.”

If you want people to think of you as normal, then just be normal. You’re not reinventing the wheel.]

Now they’ve removed it altogether.

That photo looks like a criminal’s photo at some police station. Substitute the words on the plaque for some numbers and you’ll see what I mean.

How hypocritical can he get? He employs in his office a criminal convicted for a homophobic act and then pretends to be against homophobia.
