New Year’s Special

Okay, so it is only the third of this series, but for New Year I had already planned for a special looking back at the eight most read posts onGyronny Herald. So here goes…

In reverse order,

№ 8 – Duncan – a brother in torment

The update is that he is back at work and is visibly much improved. So thank you all for your prayers.

№ 7 – Watch yourself Nick Clegg: the 104/103 haven’t done it – but I will!

Also featured in the Lib Dem Golden Dozen #198

№ 6 – Outrage at action of liberal youth executive

And of course I ended up crossing swords keyboards with Lib Dem peer Lord Greaves on this issue… and another one in a Lib Dem Golden Dozen.

№ 5 – disappointment for Michael and musicals

In which I acknowledged the existence of #pcrmwg

№ 4 – The 27 betrayed their Party – Shame on them!

Having joined the Liberal Democrats back in 1997 not quite as a direct result of the Labour proposals on Tuition Fees, you can understand how incensed I was at the vote in the House of Commons.

№ 3 – sterilization of drug addicts…. just as Hitler would have done

№ 2 – 10 reasons why gay marriage is wrong

and last but very definitely not least…

№ 1 – wear purple on 20 October

It’s been decided. On October 20th, 2010, we will wear purple in honor of the 6 gay boys who committed suicide in recent weeks/months due to homophobic abuse in their homes and at their schools. Purple represents Spirit on the LGBTQ flag and that’s exactly what we’d like all of you to have with you: spirit. Please know that times will get better and that you will meet people who will love you and respect you for who you are, no matter your sexuality. Please wear purple on October 20th. Tell your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors and schools. RIP Tyler Clementi, Asher Brown, Seth Walsh, Justin Aaberg, Raymond Chase and Billy Lucas. You are loved.

Next week, it’ll be back to posts that I have enjoyed or found thought-provoking from across the blogosphere. Who knows, if you blog, you may be featured.
