How ironic – the biggest Queen does not seem to like or support “Queens” :o)

Just picturing the Queen doing a video, similar to Obama’s, acknowledging/accepting homosexuality and our right to marry… Would be amaazing. A royal acceptance.

Although I don’t always agree with Peter Tatchell, he has fought for the gay community for 30 years or so and has the ability to start discussion over issues which have been swept under the carpet. A large part of the Queen and her family’s work is dealing with charities and fund raising. It is a relevant point she has no involvement with gay charities. It took Diana to get involved with such issues as HIV .As a head of state she is supposedly representing all citizens of the UK. Everybody gets a response/acknowledgement from Buckingham Palace, why no response on this issue…It is quite ridiculous as Buckingham Palace is full of queens, not just the one in charge

Peter Tatchell is the biggest Drama Queen ever!! Why scream fire where there’s no smoke. The Queen doesn’t control Countries anymore so who n what she supports is actually kinda immaterial, does anyone really care about the Queen r following her on twitter (does even know what Twitter is)? I agree with Schalk as well. Peter Tatchell, when ur in the public eye remember that bitching n moaning shud always be constructive this is just another eye roll for me

I fail to understand what her age has to do with it. She’s not someone’s granny. She is the symbolic head of state for goodness sake – and her millions of pounds worth of annual expenses are paid for by the taxpayer. This is her job. If she can’t keep up with the times, she should step aside. Then she can live her days blissfully ignorant of our community. Till then, she needs to shape up.

I agree with Schalk …. the Queen is 80 plus, it is not her fight there are enough men out there capable of doing the job!! Let her be a queen in her old age!

I hear what is being said, but I have to come up for the Queen here. The LGBT issue remains too controversial and one thing the Queen isn’t, is controversial. I think she has a very fine line to walk to try and balance all the issues of the day and still keep the Monarchy impartial. She really leaves these matters to the politicians. Also, her goverment decides what she should talk about and what not. All her speeches has to be approved by the PM. So I really don’t think Mr Tatchell is being fair. This is my opinion anyway.

In reply to KBLevy. That's cute ! I'm sure she does not have anything against the gay community. Her Jubilee celebrations on the Thames were outstanding

The royal family is just a show case of an old school style of kings and queens that has faded away over time. They are only a British icon like the mini cooper and a family that is stooped in wealth. Somewhere along the lines in the future this too will fade into the history books like the dodo bird thats extinct.
One forgets their dirty laundry how this family use to fight and take control of other countries and have placed people in concentration camps like South Africa very much like our apartyd. Then it was the English against the Afrikaans se boerkies where we had to fight them for our independency, makes one think that the queens greatest ambition was to rule the world.
At the end of the day who frieken cares!!!
