All of the stories I ever see coming out of Stonewall's headquarters have always been about some kind of fix up between them and some multinational company trying to flog some useless product in the hope of getting in a few more pink pounds It's sad Stonewall are splitting the LGBT community in this way in order to achieve their own selfish agenda. It's about time someone stood up to these thugs so good luck to all those people who are making the effort to protest their activities on Thursday! This one from earlier in the year caught my eye...: "Stonewall opens bids for exclusive prizes" Stonewall’s annual silent auction has been unveiled to the public, with a number of unique, money can’t buy lots on offer for 2008. This year’s fabulous prize list includes gifts donated from a number of celebrities and VIPs, including a chance to be a VIP guest to the stars of Strictly Come Dancing (pictured below); an afternoon in the studio with BBC Radio 2’s Paul Gambacinni followed by a three course meal; snowboarding lessons for four with the UK’s number one snowboarder, Jo Chastney; the chance to be named as a character in the new novel by acclaimed crime writer, Val McDermid and a framed, signed copy of k.d.lang’s new album ‘Watershed,’ along with a complete set of her entire back catalogue (see photo below). Unusual experiences you can bid for include the opportunity for four people to enjoy VIP treatment at the gala opening of the Take That musical, Never Forget, with tickets to the star-studded post-show party thrown in; a private tour for four around the Tate Modern led by your own curator, including lunch; a chance to listen to principal conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev, conduct Mahler, and a day for two people on an exclusive boat at the Eurogay Sailing Cup, along with tickets to the famous evening reception party.

It’s a great way to buy something totally unique, whilst raising money for an important cause at the same time.’" I am not surprised at this in the slightest.
