My SERIOUS list for the Future

By Thinking3 Comments

Dear Future,

    This is my serious list of things I’d like to see happen when you arrive:

  • A cure for cancer, diabetes and other debilitating illnesses & diseases
  • People to care more, to realise in the inter-web of life we are all connected
  • People to work less, focusing their time on living a happy life
  • People to work together rather than against one another
  • People to be emotionally open and honest with themselves and others
  • People to take more responsibility for their actions
  • People realising that no matter how much you discuss (or push-my-religion-down-your-throat) it doesn’t work
  • Politicians and the like to drop the politics and work for the people who elected them
  • For money to become less important
  • For true equality
  • For education to be freely available for all
  • For society to have less regulation & rules as these seem to create barriers and would lead to a freer society
  • The ARTS (music, film, writing, media, sculpting, in fact anything creative) being respected and valued

Anything you’d add? I’m sure there’s plenty I’ve left out.

Take Care,

Antony

Stonewall’s Top 100 Employers of 2009 Announced

By Gay, ThinkingNo Comments

Stonewall have realised this list of the Top 100 Employers who stand for equality.

Interestingly high up on this list included the Police. The police have a history of institutionalised rasicism therefore making them historically inequal. Therefore they must be making progress.

However I still feel they need to continue to work on equality. I have got several gay friends of mine that have recieved a poor service off the police. Indeed some of them have had homophobic remarks made by police officers. Some of my friends tell me that police officers have stated that it is their fault when reporting homophobic crime.

It is nice to see that central and local governments are on the list seen as they make the equality legislation. Next year it would be fantastic to see some NHS organisations on the list! This is because I know a lot of work goes on to protect equality of their employees in the NHS and respect & value the diversity of their employees.

Wishing you all equality always,

Antony
