Mr Gay UK

Seeing that he has not been found guilty yet of the charges against him, I thought it unfair to comment on these.

What I would wish to comment on, is the fact that he entered and won the Mr Gay UK title.

Why as a serving police officer was he was allowed to enter such a contest, has to be questioned, especially when it was reported, he appeared in a police-style outfit, including a stab-proof vest.

He said "I thought telling people I was gay would mean no one would want to know me, but at the Mr Gay UK final I had more people supporting me than I’ve ever had in my life".

Er, could that be that all those at the Mr Gay final, were also gay?

/// Earlier he was reported to have said his main reason for entering the contest was to “change the public perception of the stereotypical gay man”.///

Now how did he expect their perception would change?

Golly, is it really such a big deal ?

[jackthehat]

I'm not saying he's innocent, doc................I'm just saying that he has yet to be convicted, and, therefore, must receive the benefit of any doubt, at the moment..........

Joeluke:

Who, exactly, is it who gets to decide the criteria for being a 'real man'?

While we're at it, what are the other critieria of 'manliness'?

[Kromovaracun]

"Golly, is it really such a big deal ? "

Evidently so. I don't get it either.

[joggerjayne]

Other criteria ?

Tall

Big shoulders

No earrings

Other criteria of manliness?

Drinking beer, liking women, not wearing flip flops or sandals

Oh. and not being a gay sympathiser too

[rowanwitch]

Jayne, that's a decription of half the really butch wimmin in any gay bay in the uk you forgot the tattoos and inability to use any deodorant

[jackthehat]

Drinking beer - check
liking women - check
not wearing flip flops or sandals - check

Oh. and not being a gay sympathiser too - damn ! damn ! damn !

Looking at some of the posts here, it would appear that ignorance really IS bliss!

[joeluke]

Exactly JTH

3 out of 4 so you qualify!

[joeluke]

Good point rowan, some butch lesbians are more manly than some of the gay men!

[jackthehat]

So I do !!
It just serves to illustrate how fragile your notion of manliness *really* is..........:o)

Joe:

I really doubt that you're serious, but if you are then really there's nothing to say to you. But I can assure you that if you approach your average guy with a stance like that then he'll assume you're kidding, but if you're not then he'll likely think you extremely childish.

[joeluke]

Er no. I was congratulating you on your real man status!

That's a great outlook to have jack.

[joggerjayne]

I drink in gay bars quite a lot ... I don't have big shoulders.

(nb. We only drink in them ... we don't "pick up" LOL)

[jake-the-peg]

Is it just me or does anybody else think there may be a bit of "overcompensation" going on in some of these posts?

[Kromovaracun]

incidentally, I fail on all 4 criteria...

Joe's made a lady of me.

[joeluke]

Krom......I think you'll find that your average man is prevented by political over correctness from giving his true views

Poll every man in this country while he is wired up to a lie detector and I guarantee you that a very high majority would be repulsed by the thought of 2 men together
