Vote For The Pink Singers

A fortnight ago the Pink Paper came up with its annual "best of" survey. This year the Pink Singers have been nominated, so get your mouse at the ready and do hop on over to their survey and vote for us.

Frankly though, while I do recognize the publicity value winning such awards entails, I remain a sceptic. It asks us to decide what "the best gay social group" is and while I naturally and honestly believe that the Pink Singers are the best, it certainly isn't possible to make an accurate assessmentof any group unless you are actually in it. What this means is that larger groups are naturally going to have an advantage, or that popularity in the wider community is going to decide. To me, this defeats the purpose of the question in the first place.

This is all perhaps a bit too much navel gazing for something which is supposed to be fun, but it disturbs me.

P.S. If you do vote, please also tick the London Frontrunners for best gay sports group. Ta.
