I have never identified myself by my sexuality and I don’t take notice of it with others. I really couldn’t care less, but this is taking the sublime to the absurd.
A new wave of LGBTQ+ housing is coming to the UK amid concerns about the ‘deadliest rise’ in homophobic attacks in a decade.
London has already seen its first residential hub for elderly members of the LGBTQ+ community opening up, following a £3million grant from city mayor, Sadiq Khan.
The fancy apartment block, built by Tonic Housing, overlooks Westminster and is a stone’s throwaway from Vauxhall, Waterloo and Tate Britain.
Over the summer, another group – First Brick Housing – received backing for its plan to build homes for ‘marginalised’ gay Londoners to ensure LGBTQ+ people are ‘free from oppression’, with City Hall stumping up £5,000 towards it.
Fuck off. Seriously, fuck the fuck off. If you want to understand who is marginalised and oppressed, ask yourself whom you may criticise. The alphabetti spaghetti brigade are high scoring when it comes to victimhood poker. And there is not a huge increase in homophobic crime. Londonistan is now crime ridden generally because of another marginalised, oppressed group of imported cultural enrichers. Who, as it turns out, don’t much like the qwerty queers. Well, who saw that coming? (Ed – I did).
So now, these marginalised, oppressed folk are forming their own ghetto. Segregation, apartheid, call it what you will, the outcome is the same.
Meanwhile, in Manchester, a proposal to construct a purpose-built, LGBTQ+ majority housing site for the over-55s was unveiled this week, in what city leaders and activists hailed as a ‘landmark’ scheme.
Jim Crow would be proud.
Critics have accused supporters of the new schemes of ‘virtue-signalling causes based on fashion and not need’. But campaigners insist the need has never been greater and comes amid a worrying surge in homophobic attacks.
I’m with the critics on this one. When I retire, I’m not going to move into a ghetto based on the sexuality of my neighbours. I’m more rounded than that. And grown up.
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), hate crimes on the basis of sexual orientation are up by 112 per cent in the last five years, with Home Office statistics finding homophobic hate crimes ballooned by 41 per cent in 2022.
Without actual numbers, these stats are meaningless bullshit. Percentages can mean whatever you want them to – see, also, covid cases and deaths. Even if I was a gayer – which I’m not – I wouldn’t want to live in one of these places that is based on one aspect of someone’s being. Fuck that.
Meanwhile, the recent report ‘No Place Like Home?’ – which surveyed and spoke to 260 LGBTQ residents – found that 32 per cent felt their neighbourhood was not a safe place to live in as an LGBTQ person.
Statistically insignificant. So bullshit.
Nothing says ‘marginalised and oppressed’ like a penthouse flat in Westminster!
Once again the equalities act is shown to be the exact opposite. They don’t want equality, they want preferential treatment, based on sexual preference, and they are getting it.
When the heterosexuals get fed up of being force fed LGBTQA+++ “rights” and decide to round the bastards up and throw them off multi storey car parks we’ll know where to go.
Sorry, that should be “they’ll know where to go”. Oops. 🙂
Lets look at where LGBTQAetc is already in place informally:
“It is thought that about 21% of the adult population of Brighton and Hove is LGBTQ+. The city has the highest percentage of same-sex households in the UK. Whatever the actual numbers, few can deny our status as one of the UK’s queerest cities. Even beyond the historic gay quarter – the area between Marine Parade and St James’ Street in Kemptown – rainbow flags are proudly displayed throughout the year.”
I stayed in Brighton a few years ago. Yes it was ‘vibrant’ but it was also filthy, with many homeless sleeping in shop doorways. Clearly someone’s priorities were skewed.
The councillors in Brighton are a bunch of loons. The council decided to ‘rewild’ the pavements by letting the weeds grow, and now, of course, Brighton’s pavements are overgrown with weeds. Idiots.
A target-rich environment for those who wish to enrich our culture?
FFS!! ‘Nuff said.
“Dirty bum-boys!”

These places will end up a cesspit of monkeypox.
So the “people” that want to beat up and kill gays are too stupid to find out where Homo Heights is located and realise that the REALLY high building is ideal to throw them off the roof?
Errr … maybe it’s not a good idea to flaunt your sexual preferences in a city that is minority white and populated by The Religion of Peace.
What’s your address?
69 uphill gardens.
I wonder if it has a ring road?
I think Graham Greene wrote a book about it: Brighton cock
If you want to make a living out of the politics of marginalisation and oppression, of course you need to divide people first. Picking a group and building a ghetto for them is a great way to do that.
