Naughty Talk

I published July 13 22.01 comment because I thought it was a calm personal reflection of a personal concern.

It wasn't a strident call to arms to take away hard-won rights.

People  should be able to express their thoughts freely. I have similar thoughts about the long term effects of birth control chemicals.

I worry about the need for both parents to work and  children  literally being raised  in institutions.

I worry about students not getting the help they need in school and what the future holds for them if they can't read or write.The jails re full of them.

I also don't understand why, when all the important issues have been  resolved, the gay community feels compelled to have parades to tell the world  how different they are

Wasn't the battle about  being the same and having the Sme rights.

Why can't they just move on and live dull normal  lives like the rest of us.

I have no interest in anybody's bedroom activities..I don't care if they hang upside down from the ceiling fixture  to do it. If they break their necks ,on their own heads be it.

I also do not believe the Mayor  of any city should feel compelled to walk in a Gay Pride Parade and suffer continual baiting because he/she  has other things they'd rather do.

There's nothing in the Municipal Act that makes it mandatory  to walk in a parade .

Being  chosen as a candidate or elected to office strictly on the basis of sexual prediliction is not my idea of an obvious choice.

What about all the religious processions communities have in Toronto. Rob fOrd would probably be struck by a lightning bolt if he walked in one .

Would his enemies then take to the streets and rejoice with bands and trumpets blaring and John Tory doing marvelous things with the Band Major's baton.

Above all, I think ,if we want  to, we should be able to talk about anything calmly and thoughtfully or  not....without anyone getting their knicker in a twist .

Underwear for the nether regions were knickers when I was a child . There was a naughty .
connotation.

It might be why the expression comes to mind.
