A woman has vowed to be a good ally by being bisexual for the entirety of Pride month.
The global celebration of gay, lesbian, transgender and queer lives has prompted Lauren Hewitt, aged 23, to not let her heterosexuality get in the way of joining in.
She said: “Pride Month is the only time of year that I feel free and uninhibited enough to be the person I’ve always wanted to be: a straight woman, but more interesting.
“Despite having a boyfriend and a sexual history consisting exclusively of men, I fully identify with the vibe. I might not be completely bisexual, but I am half-bisexual in that I sleep with one of the two sexes.
“It’s just for the month. After that I’ve no intention to continue this level of engagement with LGBTQ+ culture, following in the footsteps of allies like Marks & Spencer and BrewDog.
“Ladies, watch out. No James, this does not mean you’re getting a threesome.”
A Stonewall spokesman asked about Lauren’s claimed bisexuality said: “We don’t really care. This type of thing mostly bothers other straight people.”
Of course.
Awwww....bless!!!

Bless, nothing. It's bad enough not being allowed on our own Gay Pride march any more without a wristband/registration, without having to watch hours and hours of corporate-branded identikit "metrosexuals" ("gay for a day") parading past. Not one of them even an "ally", just a freeloader.
DeleteSigh. Rant over. Jx
The Daily Mash hits the nail on the head, yet again. The "Stonewall spokesman's" response is about right :)
ReplyDeleteStonewall has been a waste of space for years. "We don't really care" sums up a lot of their attitude to a lot of the genuine concerns of gay people. According to them, everyone is supposed to be "a member of the LGBTQI+ community", rather than "a gay man" or "a lesbian". I don't "identify as" anything - I AM!
DeleteSigh. Rant #2 over. Jx
To true to be funny but it is the mash and they have hit the nail on the head as always
ReplyDeleteThey are consistent in their targets, and they got this one exactly right. Jx
