3289...More On Dire Straits Evil Ways

This is also from the Canadian Press:

"'I think it's extremely important to take these words out of lyrics in popular culture,' said Helen Kennedy, executive director of Egale Canada, an organization that promotes equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans-identified people.

'It perpetuates the stereotype, it's negative and it's offensive. If you look to the origin of the word, it's disgusting.'"


Interestingly Ms. Kennedy was not the one who filed the complaint to the CSBC which leads one to think that she had been aware of the song for over a quarter century and wasn't offended but n o w she is.

Prig.
