Robin Tyler

I just ran across a mention of this woman, who has a signficant public service record and such, and is also a big LGBT activist.  Seems to come up with good lines…

 

“If homosexuality is a disease, let’s all call in queer to work: "Hello. Can’t work today, still queer";”

“Fundamentalists are to Christianity what paint-by-numbers is to art”

 

and is apparently working on some sort of show to be called "Always a Bridesmaid, Never a Groom". 

 

later folks.

ps:  After 2 incidents over the last couple of months of folks leaving unsigned nasty notes, I’m turning on "signed notes only".  enough of that crap.

I am a great fan of great quotes and these are awesome – especially ‘calling in queer’!

i have that record somewhere – always the bridesmaid, never the groom. it was from the late eighties and i have the urge to finally listen to it.

but it is fun to leave unsigned notes with no text. especially private ones.

LOL, am calling into work right now. lol. Thanks for the smile!

I think fundamentalists are to Christianity what pantyhose is to sex.

I love the first one – hmm… still…

I can’t believe anyone would have the nerve to leave you nasty notes. That seriously pisses me off. You are so nice and kind to everyone who reads your diary. I adore you and I’m so glad that I found your diary through ADogGroomersLife. I love the part about calling in queer.

Who is leaving you nasty notes? I’ll kick their asses! Grrr. I loved that ‘calling in queer’ line. I’m using that one day.

*shakes head* I can’t believe people would send you nasty notes.

Hah, laughing at Deve’s note. ^^ I’ve heard of Robin Tyler, but I can’t place where. I’ll have to google her. xo

Someone has wrote what I was going to say already, but I’ll say it again. I can’t believe that someone would leave you nasty notes! I would love to call in queer to work, but I don’t think they would buy it. I already called in last week burned (thankfully not flaming). Lots of hugs, John

I’ve had mine set to signed notes only for a while now. I got pissed when that happened to me and couldn’t retaliate. Robin Tylor- ya- she owns Olivia Cruises- a lesbian cruise line. I’ve heard her name for years, guess because I live in California.

I am questioning that fact on R.T. I know she was involved in the cruise line some how- C.R.S. don’t cha know.

there should be a “call in queer” day.

I can completely understand the changing to signed notes. Honestly I never read the notes you get unless it’s on an important and meaningful entry that would get some heartfelt responses. I have always had signed notes. Very rarely I will change up and have an all notes entry. It’s just easier to keep up with who is saying what. 🙂
