If you're suggesting that suggesting someone is gay is a bad thing,
then, logically, I would have to suggest that you don't like gay
people.
#My Best Friend is Gay, My boss is Gay But i guess i don't like my Friend
then or have a problem with it.
Now, I know that's probably not true, so I WON'T suggest
that,
#Your refusal to say it when already written it is rather odd.
instead I will politely suggest that you remain calm and stop
trying to censor people's conversations.
#If i were calmer i would be asleep. It would take a lot more than this
forum could ever throw out to wind me up.. Believe me..

Damage it how? By making homophobes not watch their shows? Boo-hoo.
What a ridiculous suggestion. Britain truly is a country of repressed
curtain-twitchers, if this comment is any representation of fact.
#I guess you have never had it said to you then as you would know what sort
of effect it has on "non famous people" never mind "Stars"
Besides, eagle-eyed readers may have noted that most of the posts
were dedicated to demonstrating how Derren is not actually gay
#Did notice that
- so
you can all breathe a sigh of relief that his career has not
been "damaged".
#Not yet at least
> So lets give it a rest and not continue down this line of
conversation.
> It's relevance to anything or anyone is beyond me.
It's not relevant, true, it's none of my business, true, it's a
personal matter, ALL TRUE, but that's not the point.
#that was purely my point and i thank you for proving me right
It's not illegal
or immoral to discuss it and you will have to live with that,
unfortunately.
#Never claimed it was
This is the internet, not the letters page of the
Daily Mail and even if it were, I doubt they would be so censorious.
#Don't read newspapers waste of money and full of you know what.
I don't remember anyone getting up in arms when there was discussion
of Derren's supposed new girlfriend, either. One kind of speculation
acceptable and another not?
#Unfortunately i was not a member then so i can't comment. If i was i may
have commented
I can only assume that it's the subject
matter that offends.
#Then i guess you read too much into my comments and clearly it is that
which has been found to be offensive to people
Put your reply in the context of the much
earlier discussion of Sue the Psychologist (the supposed girlfriend)
and you'll see how po-faced and hysterical it sounds.
#As i said, i was not a member, and as such it may sound po faced, but
having not been a part of the group then i cannot be accused of being this
when not around at the time.
Could you give a comment on what was said in 10 downing street this morning
over breakfast? I doubt it (An attempt to and justify trying will just show
you up)
Apologies for ranting but I feel strongly about this issue, did you
guess?
Apology accepted any please accept mine in return but i was merely trying to
say that anyone else's sexual orientation is irrelevant to anyone but
themselves and their partner. Any comments about other people should be made
whilst the said person is in that particular forum, Thus allowing them to
confirm or deny if they choose to. Ever had people talk about you behind
your back and then find out?
As i said apologies for getting people so wound up. Don't worry about other
peoples lives, Just get on with your own..
