Reply to: CNN spots ISIS flag at London Pride

[oscarose]

According to the guy flying the flag, it's the flag of Dildosis "a conceptual organisation he has set up as a counterpoint to ISIS, established for the advancement of an ecstatic state”.

He was removed from the parade, police checked to confirm that the flag "posed no threat", but the police requested that the flag wasn't flown any more.

If the pinks are correct, this seems an over-reaction to a humble flag. Anyway, bunting is much preferable to flags. Flags symbolize tribes and divided nations. Looking at Earth from space, there are no observable boundaries and we should all learn to live accordingly and with peace (IMVHO).

SO now we cannot fly flags with dildo's on incase we upset some ISIS muppets.

what sort of a fookin knee jerk, bleeding heart liberal, fookin reaction is that - if he want to fly his flag he can do.

"...it's clearly not Arabic, in fact it looks like it's gobbledygook..."

Not - they're dildos and butt plugs, you buffoon.

Yep - they raise over $300k for charity every year now as well.

That's good; the event has at least one positive outcome.

I trust some of the funds are used for the clean-up operation.

Here's an account of someone who stumbled on FSS and got more than she bargained for.

I stand corrected. Thank you for the link.



It sounds quite a high-spirited and effervescent party. Given such levels of debauchery, maybe drugs are involved.

What next??

[MicrosoftBob]

Sounds like your average BDSM club then

Sounds like these claims are indeed a fantasy of GR.

What I didn’t know, despite the fact that I’ve been living in the city for several years, is that I’d find people lined up to be spanked, naked men jerking off in the middle of the street and clotheless women tied up to a street posts with rope.

I have to admit, I really thought I was walking down to a street fair with camera in hand to shoot a street full of food and arts and crafts stalls. “How long have you lived here?” a friend later asked.

Didn't realise it was cordoned off so only paying punters who know what they're in for are going to be exposed to it.

I'm struggling a little bit to see your point - is it that fetishists engage in "abnormal" behaviour at a fetishists fair?

There's shedloads. And they're not articles - movies / pics on xHamster and the like.

If you really want to view them I'll PM you the links if you like.

Aye - go on then, send me the links.

I think I said in my original post that this event isn't a pride event. The SFO gay community is, however, somewhat overrepresented in some of the more overt behaviour. Again, just look at the pics.

If every gay person in San Francisco turned up at the leather fetishists fair, then that would account for under a quarter of the attendees. Not sure what percentage of the gay population of San Fran attend a leather fetishists fair, but I'm going to suggest that it's significantly less than 100%. But I'm sure you're right about them being over-represented.

Actually, it is hard to find anything recent that supports your posts. There is a Christian News "article" from 2005. There are some blog posts from 2011. There are two links from Wikipedia that go to things that people wrote in 2011.

But there's not much else.

Not quite sure how this is relevant to London Pride (or any other gay Pride event in the world) though.

Not hard to find but I'm not posting links to that kind of stuff.

Way too NSFW!

so its not in a public place? my caveat applies.

It's a public place that you have to choose to enter, fully aware that there is a fetishists fair going on. Children are allowed, because it's up to the parents to determine whether it's appropriate to take them to a fetishists fair or not.
