Pink Triangle
Pink Triangle
(PT)
is a forum provided by the Pink Triangle
Trust (PTT) for the discussion and
interchange of ideas concerning Humanism as
it relates to gay and lesbian issues, and
how gay and lesbian issues relate to
Humanism. But gay and lesbian issues and
those concerning Humanism don’t exist in a
bubble: they are part of the wider world.
Hence, there will be scope for broad
discussion on these and related ethical
issues.
The PT
blog features news of relevant issues, with
or without comment from the author, and
hopes to generate lively discussion in the
comments area. For more on the blog, see the
“Welcome”
post from March 2008.
Pink Triangle was set up in
March 2008 by the Pink Triangle Trust. The
PTT was launched as a charity (number
1015629) in the UK in 1992 with the aim of
educating lesbian and gay people about
aspects of Humanism, while alerting
Humanists to those things that affect
homosexuals. Vehicles for this purpose
include
G&LH,
Gaytheist and this blog –
Pink
Triangle.
While all
the views here may not necessarily reflect
the policies of the PTT, and shouldn’t be
taken to do so, there will, we hope, be
lively discussion concerning the issues
raised above, and wider ones, too,
concerning gays and lesbians and a life that
doesn't have to include religion.
So we’ll be
posting news and comment concerning matters
that affect the LGB community and humanists
and secularists, with comment if
appropriate, and hope you'll join in the
discussion in the comments area.
You can find
out more about the PTT on its
website.
Welcome
aboard, and we hope to hear more from you
soon.

impartial website for agnostics, atheists
and enquirers about the Humanist ethical

Commenting terms
When leaving
comments, please keep in mind the following,
which you will also find above the comments
area.
We welcome
lively and challenging comments. However,
please try to stay on topic, be polite and
do not use abusive, racist or sexist
language, and do not incite your readers to
violence or other antisocial behaviour, or
your comment will be deleted.
We do not
bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we
would prefer that those commenting play fair
and used their name or at least a regular
nom de plume. It does show a confidence
in your convictions. We know, too, that it’s
easy to use a false name and be
effectively anonymous, but, again, we
appeal to your sense of good practice. Even
a wacky nom de plume is better, since
at least readers will come to know that
contributor and maybe remember her or his
previous comments.
Blatant
commercial advertising will be removed.
The views

way indicative of the Trust’s views or

Comments
should not be construed as necessarily the
policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle
Trust.
Individual
contributors are encouraged to express their
