I also want to visibly show members of the LGBTQ+ community this as well so that they know that I am not one of those who does not accept the T as part of the LGBTQ+ community.Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-72056519450439716452023-10-09T11:05:00.000+01:002023-10-09T11:05:06.079+01:00Joe Mcelderry - L.O.V.E I've been listening to this great new uplifting track from Joe McElderry called L.O.V.E. and the message of the video, "be who you wanna be" really speaks to me as a member of the LGBTQ+ community because it reminds me that I can be who I want to be, and that there is nothing wrong with being a gay male. What I also like is that the video and song can be enjoyed by everyone, not just Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-49157822083097403262023-10-02T11:27:00.002+01:002023-10-09T11:04:04.667+01:00HomophobiaRecently my boyfriend and I where traveling on a train, and when we got on the train we were subject to some unacceptable verbal homophobic abuse from some younger people already sitting on the train.In this day and age I believe that homophobia, along with bi-phobia and transphobia is completely unacceptable in this country and I think the time has come that the government needs to take a stand Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-3323997766137371892023-09-20T21:45:00.000+01:002023-09-20T21:45:45.953+01:00Hand in HandHad a fantastic day in Brighton on Sunday with my boyfriend.

Me and my boyfriend Mark, had a fantastic day at Reading Pride 2019. I'm so proud we could celebrate our love together and walk hand in hand through Reading! It was also great to be able to represent the company we work for, and show the world that our employer supports LGBTQ rights.

Recently I took a trip to London to see Pink, with my boyfriend Mark.
Here is a picture of my and my boyfriend Mark outside Wembley Stadium waiting to go in and see Pink's Beautiful Trauma World Tour 2019.
The photo below is us in the Stadium
While there we enjoyed looking around London, hunting for Gay Pride themed shops, Tube Stations, Pride Flags etc. Here is a photo of us Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-35250066044971435432019-06-18T23:21:00.000+01:002019-06-18T23:21:34.954+01:00
I apologise that I haven't posted on this blog in a while but thought it was time I introduced you to my gorgeous boyfriend Mark. I'm so proud that we can be who we are, in love together and out & proud together.
As far as I'm concerned, everyone has the right to be who they are and love who they want, regardless of what others think, & as far as I am concerned nobody tells me Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-25196039284784054542018-07-08T23:44:00.000+01:002018-07-08T23:44:15.022+01:00South Downs RamblerWhy not take the South Downs Rambler bus service run by Bluestar and supported by The South Downs National Park, East Hampshire Community Rail Partnership, Three Rivers Community Rail Partnership & Arriva Cross Country Trains

I hope that when pride season is over Apple keep the watch face, as I would certainly like it as a choice on my watch.
I have also noticed that Apple have created a new pride watch strap for 2018. It would be great if it was on sale all year round, as there are pride events all year, Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-881671513229847192017-03-30T22:19:00.001+01:002017-04-02T12:50:21.492+01:00Boney M. - Gotta Go Home (Collaro Show)

It's great to finally have on CD the first studio album from Eruption - Eruption featuring Precious Wilson. I really enjoy the music of Eruption - whilst they hail from the same producer Frank Farian, they have a different sound to Boney M. who he was producing at the same time.
This CD features all 10 tracks from the original album, plus 5 bonus tracks, 2 of which are tracks from Eruption's Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6652531.post-14539463797271839732016-08-05T13:30:00.001+01:002016-08-05T23:05:31.029+01:00Last Nights DinnerThought I would try and cook something new for dinner last night and settled on penne pasta with chicken and pesto.

I would add Find my iPhone support, as currently this does not work with the watch. I would have thought that this would be an essential tool to build in to the watch so that if by accident it falls of your wrist, you can disable it.
WiFi updating - I understand Jonzo247http://www.blogger.com/profile/12924288698018991194noreply@blogger.com0
