| 401 | Anonymous | I am a mother to three young children who I regularly take shopping in the Peacock Centre, and I would have no problem whatsoever with them seeing a Gay Surrey stand or World Aids stand, I want them to grow up to be aware of diversity and be happy being whoever they happen to be!!! Although I do hope they don't turn out like Mr Keeping, that I would be ashamed of!!! |
| 402 | Ian Cole | All the while we still encounter men like Mr Keeping and the organisations that they represent we will need the gay population and the likes of gay surrey to stand up to this prejudice.
Gay men and women are families and they also have children, so are they not allowed to go shopping in the Peacocks? Not that the centre is that fantastic |

| 404 | Anonymous | I was fortunate enough to attend the IDAHO event in Woking and when I heard about the Peacocks situation, I asked for more information and fully read the story so far. This is an outrage and while we can all understand there are rules and regulations in play this does not allow Mr Keeping to make Homophobic comments publicly to a newspaper. To discover no comment has been supplied only shows the company have nothing to come back with because the charity are right. Someone must take action against this form of discrimination and I fully support the chairty in their attempts to prevent this kind of discrimination in Surrey. |

PUBLIC STATEMENT FROM CHURSTON HEARD
The Peacocks Centre Woking
Following your support of the petition on Gay Surrey’s website regarding The Peacocks Centre Woking we are writing to confirm the following:
The Peacocks Shopping Centre is non-discriminatory, is open to all members of the public and operates wholly in accordance with employment, equality and diversity laws.
Churston Heard are unable to comment in regards to Mr Keepings alleged comments to the press and feel these comments have certainly been misquoted and misinterpreted
The Centre has continued to, and will continue to, make space available for events and charitable collections and was extremely disappointed by the reporting in the local press of the lack of charitable representation at World Aids Day in December 2007.
We are pleased to announce that The Centre and Gay Surrey are working closely together to ensure that the key aim of raising awareness of the fight against HIV and AIDS is promoted and can confirm that charitable collections are being held on 1st December 2008. |
