We should be so lucky, Stagey! *blows a fuse*

 

I thought that JM's report was the biggest load of cobblers this side of Xmas.

 

S/he/ (it?) had to have a go at Steven Gately as "no talent" etc, as the biggest "scandal" anyone could find about him over the years he was in the band, was that he was gay - "Ooh, shock horrors!"

 

And the reports persist in demoting his husband to "long-term partner", as if their marriage (ok, "civil partnership") was non-existent, which is very annoying.

“There are those who would call her a short-sighted bigot, perhaps even a wilfully deceitful crack-whore, but they don’t realise how upsetting the loss of her career will be to millions of witless homophobes and racists.”

 

“Now who will explain the world around them in terms they understand?”

 

Absolute class!:hihi:

Being gay is only as peculiar as being left handed, or diabetic...

 

It's less peculiar than being a twin, say...

 

you're quite correct, the incidence rate of twins is about 25/1000 or so.

 

incidence of male homosexuality is about twice that.

 

Twins are about twice as 'peculiar' as gays.

Penthouse was very nice as was genevieve,samanthas etc must be the youth of nowadays with their confused versions of sexuality..whatever happened to morals?

 

That's the Sin Of Onan, in biblical terms as bad as homosexuality.

 

Spilling the old seed on the ground. Cuffing the camel. Dusting the donkey. Flogging the Pharisee.

 

And you'll go blind.

Brands including Marks & Spencer have asked for their advertising to be removed from the Daily Mail website page featuring a controversial column about the death of Boyzone singer Stephen Gately.

 

After a storm of protest which grew during the day online, Daily Mail columnist Jan Moir defended her comment piece, rejecting accusations that it was homophobic.

 

In a highly unusual move, the Daily Mail issued a statement from Moir late today in which she hit out at the internet protests that led to 800 complaints being made to the Press Complaints Commission, causing the regulator's website to crash for most of the afternoon. Celebrities Stephen Fry and Derren Brown were among those who used their Twitter feeds to urge followers to make complaints.

 

Display advertising has been removed from the Mail Online webpage around Moir's article. Earlier today a Facebook page was set up urging users to lobby brands featured on the page, including Marks & Spencer, to pull their advertising.

 

"Marks & Spencer does not tolerate any form of discrimination," said a spokesman for the retailer. "We have asked the Daily Mail to move our advertisement away from the article. This is a matter for the Daily Mail."

 

Nestlé, which had an ad for its Nescafe brand running alongside Moir's column on the Daily Mail website, said that the comments made by Moir were a breach of the Swiss company's code for "mutual respect and tolerance".

I don't normally subscribe to the notion of complaining about newspaper columnists but this particular bitch has really got my goat.

I know it's the Daily Fail but he hasn't even been buried yet, and to then conclude that this incident shows the inherent instability within Civil Partnerships is just poor journalism.
