We’re just out to have a bit of fun. Growing up in this heteronormative world can be difficult and tiring. So we’re gonna have a laugh about it, because we’ve had more than our fair share of tears. And on the third friday of every month, a beer or three.

LOL.
“I’m gay, so any offensive comments I make is because I had a tough childhood.”

I’m sure you apply the same rules to other people who might make homophobic jokes, they were just trying to have a laugh you know.

I can’t see anything offensive on the page.

Regardless, were the ‘offensive’ jokes bigoted in nature?

No, as Taurean says the worst ones were removed.

I didn’t actually find anything offensive myself but I just didn’t like the attempted excuse that they were OK because of having a hard gay childhood. They were OK because its a facebook page and if you don’t like it, you don’t have to look at it.

I must say, this post re: Gaycrash is a pleasant change from whoever it is that narrates Gaycrash on Facebook. While I think the idea is amazing, the Facebook statuses (including terms such as ‘fingerbash’) are absolute filth. Such a shame for what should be a wholly positive concept.

It wholly (nice word, by the way) depends on what the aim of the page is. If what they discuss is not illegal, and is not being forced upon others, then it should be a case of live and let live, right?

Don’t like something on Facebook? Unsubscribe from the particular page, or block it.

Is there a reason then that the ‘most’ offensive Facebook statuses have been removed?

Apologies if our Facebook is too “crude”… Well actually, not really. We’re just out to have a bit of fun. Growing up in this heteronormative world can be difficult and tiring. So we’re gonna have a laugh about it, because we’ve had more than our fair share of tears. And on the third friday of every month, a beer or three.

Given the amount of violence and ovurtly sexualised images in our mainstream media, that children are exposed to indiscriminately, I think some crude jokes amoungst a circle of adults is all in good fun. It’s certainly not in good taste 🙂

Well played, sirs, ma’ams, sir/ma’ams etc.

Brilliant idea, sounds like great fun, and the OCI and Glenn being such great sports, I can just imagine they would have absolutely loved it.

I have to admit that when I first heard of this I thought there was a good chance that it would end in tears.

I’m glad to hear that it’s been going well, and I hope it continues to do so. Good onyez all.

Oh sweet Jebus that’s funny. Terrible, but funny.

ditto. there’s some quick funny buggers here!

Im still laughing.

But mostly because I got a mental picture of people streaming onto Quangers main street, fighting on, with loud coloured clothing everywhere.

Some guy in a fluro vest on the ground being strangled by a tranny using a feather boa. Other people just dancing in the background while zany music is playing like a scene out of Blazing Saddles or Caddy Shack.

Awesome.

OMG it was exactly like that! Except the tradie in fluro getting strangled with the feather boa threw his zebra print clutch and it took out one of the trannies fake lashes. They actually ended up going home together…!

LOLs aside, most of “us” dress no different than the usual punter….

Do you take suggestions for venues? The AMC would be funny.

We do!

What’s the regular number of people at the Old Canberra Inn on a Friday evening?

Every time I’ve been there the place is hardly packed so I don’t think you would have been doing much crashing, gay or otherwise.

The owners would have loved it but, you probably tripled their usual Friday night takings.

Disagree- filling an empty venue just makes for even more impact

Well done. It’s good to see some barriers being broken down. I’d like to see more of these reviews. What happened at the previous three events.

Friend us on Facebook and find out 😉 You might even score an invite

I’d be interested to see the difference between this and say, Mooseheads, perhaps.

Hahahaha. +1.

You know I think the only three clubs it would cause dramas at would be Meche, Academy and Capital Men’s Club…

Well crap nobody told me there were going to be commemorative beer coasters.
Had I known I would have taken the 10 minute walk from my house down to the pub to have a beer and steal a coaster.

🙂 Delighted that it was such a great night. Congrats to the OCI, its staff and its regulars.

Old Canberra Inn is a great old place, and always very friendly and welcoming. Not surprised to hear that the owners/staff were happy and everyone had a great time.

Concur on the chicken parmigana, and go one further with the kiev.

Glad to hear it was safe/fun/etc.
