RAF Community - News

That's good then...

Oh, yippee :rolleyes:

That leaves a sour taste in the mouth.:E

First with the news, guys :(

ARRSE has been taking the pi55 out of this one for ages ...
RAF recognised as top lesbian, gay and bisexual employer

Smashing. I wonder how many manhours have been tied up in attaining this splendid recognition? :yuk:

Glad I banged out (of the mob, not the closet)!

Oh, and good to see that an AM, AVM, Gp Capt & Wg Cdr feel it necessary to comment on this. How about commenting on the butchering of allowances for your troops you effin blunties :mad::mad:

Where are you posting from,Jurassic Park?

ah the true decode of 'back seaters'....:}

A M Pulford must be really pleased, should get a gong for this move, also glad i have left that sort of crap behind. What a real shame that this is what is now important to the RAF.

...and I thought an LGB was a type of munition not a mutation!

Lucky there is a Bi-sexual in that list, because by the time the Forces have been whittled down to nothing and as we are a politically correct country, there only would be a Gay, a Lesbian and a Bi-sexual left, and without the latter the social life would be pretty dreary for the other two as opposed to just the one... I suppose the Bi-sexual would be a Lib Dem voter, so he could play both sides of the field :p

FFS, time to go :ugh:











(Has anybody seen my high heels?)

With ascension up the greasy pole comes bluntness, no matter what branch you may be...:rolleyes:

Times - and most especially social attitudes - have changed. Move on, chaps. This announcement isn't much to celebrate, but also isn't cause for the consternation of the posts above.

Cor! Whats it all coming to? Glad I'm in Big Airways now! ;) None of that malarkey here...

While I agree that this all represents a diversion from the hugely challenging situation that has been forced on us by the student politicians, masquerading as a government, it does represent some positives. It's certainly a great factoid to throw back the next time some tree-hugging Guardianista starts banging on about how awful the military are.....

At least you know you can make mincing-meat of the enemy :ooh:

In my day ( ok, a loooong time ago ) anyone found to be L / G / B was OUT. I`m not surprised the pongos and matelos are laughing . Must admit though, i once had two WRAF "ladies" showing me what they could do after a few brandy sours.......:E Happy days.

I really cant believe this is 2011. As a long retired old fart I thought it would be my generation who were the homophobic dinosaurs, but apparently not. Frankly if I were still serving and sitting in the back seat of an FJ I wouldnt give a toss which way the front-seater swings, as long as he (or she) was a bloody good pilot, and that goes for any other trade in the service.

We should have come a long way since the days when talent was lost to the services because of the individual's sexuality, either because they feared to join up because of the ever-present risk of blackmail, or were chucked out if they were discovered. I'm really amazed at the out of date attitudes still on display here, with the exception of KeyPilot and a couple of others :(. Toleration of gays, lesbians and bisexuals is not political correctness but good manners and good sense.

Btw I am not now, nor have I ever been, a member of the Lib-Dems, nor have I ever read the Guardian or hugged a tree!

I wonder if we'll ever be "celebrating" the "all straight" Sqn? Mind you it'll have to be quick before we lose them..Sqns that is.

Don't forget the T as well chaps and chapesses and in between.
