    Founding it, running it, dealing with prejudice and ignorance for twenty years, everyone in that club deserves a medal.

  6. there are many in LGBT community who are subjected to homophobia in work or social settings maybe they should also receive a MBE. There are many in LGBT community working hard to bring about equity they have not received recognition for the work they do.

    Sure nice for the guy but there are kids out there looking after the very sick parents – surely they are worthy of a medal given the states fails them
