PFOX (Parents and Friends of Gays and Ex-Gays) provides outreach, education and support to gay, lesbian, bi-sexual and transgendered men, women and teens who are struggling with same sex attractions and want to change.
Ex-gayphobics refuse to respect that choice. Consequently, persons who formerly self-identified as gay but who now live out there hetersexual potential are reviled simply because they dare to exist!
PFOX parents recognize our children for the wonderful young men and women they are. PFOX families do not label children based on who they are attracted to -- feelings can and do change. PFOX families allow for differences of opinion; we do not place requirements on our children nor do they place them on us.
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.
The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.
The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
"Wat de fuck like! The taigs got de fleg took down! Let's wreck de fuckin place! No surrender!"
"De fleg has been took down! Before ye know it there'll be a united Ireland! Attack Short Strand! God Save The Queen!"
