And

People with the same views write for newspapers like the Guardian, speak to the UN as 'experts' and organise 'Pride' events.

I suppose this shows that the

Angharad's picture

ultra right wingers are feeling the effects of a more sympathetic attitude of the general public. People are entitled to their opinions, but the answer to it is to show how ill judged and wrong those opinions are. Thankfully, in the UK, this is increasingly the case.

It might be seen as ironic that nowadays, Baden Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, is suspected of being rather fond of little boys!

Angharad

Yeesh. Some people are just

Yeesh. Some people are just desperate to try to drag any 'role model' into the mud - at least, the ones that aren't already there. I mean, he's been dead for a VERY long time.

"Sir Lord" Baden Powell didn't go hunting boys to indoctrinate. He wrote a manual, and later found that boys were putting their own groups together. He just turned it into a more structured environment.

Next, they'll be calling him a closet transvestite because he was kept in a dress while he was young - carefully ignoring the fact that all children of that time tended to be raised that way. (I suspect it's because of the lack of elastic making it difficult to easily remove pants because of 'accidents', so diaper changing could be a massive ordeal)


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.

Wonderful reporting, too

...With an 'Ad Hominem' near the top of the article and an 'Ad Homonym' near the bottom...

who has the faintest idea what these people really think?

And I look at the links and just wonder....

how humans are going to survive long enough to get off this rock. Then I wonder if we actually SHOULD. I mean what right do we have to inflict our stupidity on the rest of the universe.

Why shouldn't they share in

Why shouldn't they share in the suffering too?

Biggots

they re very bigoted people with set opinions and very right wing .Against LGBT and same sex marriage

Biggots are not just right wingers...

they are all across the political spectrum. Blacks, whites, asians, handicapped (deaf, blind, confined to wheelchairs), men, women, soccer players, rugby... it doesn't matter. If you can define a group of people, there will be people who will be for that group and against that group for no other reason than they are a member of that group. It's stupid, really.

It's not stupid, but it might

It's not stupid, but it might be slightly sad. It's pre-programmed human nature. We're built to 'judge a book by its cover', because it's a survival characteristic. What is strange is to be considered dangerous until proved otherwise. "Us vs Them". Why do you think that almost all tribal peoples have two words for humans? They generally boil down to 'The People', and "The Not People"

For that matter, most animals do it too. Drop a strange animal into a social group, and watch what happens. It tends to boil down to 'fight it, fuck it, kill it, eat it' - The order of the first two being sort of optional.
