Why celebrities come out

[sp1814]

I would like to take this opportunity to address some rather ill-informed posts on the recent thread on the gay cricketer who came out.

Does it matter? Yes - it does, because gay kids need to have a variety of role models. It makes them feel better about themselves.

Why do gay people feel the need to announce their sexuality? Well, why do straight people do the same? Think about it! Every wedding you've ever been to ha been a declaration of heterosexuality. Every time a bloke picks up a copy of FHM and points out how much he fancies Cheryl Cole - isn't he shouting about his sexuality?

Please continue to raise questions on sexuality, but try to think before writing, because some posts come across as the product of extreme stupidity.

Have to say that Nicole Kidman looked well, considering someone else had her baby for her.

[ummmm]

"Okay, put all the gay same sex animals on a desert island. Return in a thousand years and see how they have got on. Simples"

Put a whole bunch of narrow minded thickoes like you on a desert island and see how THEY do - they'd probably self destruct.

"Gotta go, True Grit just finished downloading".

Tanslation: I'm intellectually out of my depth, better escape.

..yes, that's what I said - well done for reading correctly.

Not sure about that insinuation that under-achievers in life resort to insults.

Not that rational or logical. duly reflecting an under-developed thought process.

I accidentally put a period in there, instead of a comma......

"Interesting how the under achievers in life resort to insults."

Glass houses / stones.

[ummmm]

Doc...seriously..c'mon.

Resort to insults but yet you find it perfectly ok to look down on single parents 'like they wear it like a badge of honour' and homosexuals....like they are some sort of genetic freak...

You moan about illegal car plates yet you've just illegally downloaded a film....and as it's 'just finished' are you going to say your mate did it for you???

You are a hyporcrite of the highest kind....

How about live and let live?? Personally, I don't like the thought of what gay men/women get up to in bed...I also don't like the thought of what you might get up to in bed...guess what...don't fecking think about it then and have the decency to treat ALL people as humans beings regardless of their sexual orientation....makes me so mad.

[DTCwordfan]

with a comma instead of a full stop (period) it does.....

[DTCwordfan]

thank you ummm, I was going to be 'respecting' in this argument but since it has been raised, Doc, trying to duck out of your civil responsibilites reflects a hell of a lot of "one standard for me, the rich (or I may think I am), and one for the man on top of the Clapham omnibus."

[NazNomad]

... you have your own media format? I'm impressed.

[DTCwordfan]

Wuss - can't take a good, logical argument - like an awful lot of bigoted 'fundamentalists.'

Shame that philosophy and some of the tenets of logic ares not really taught in schools now.

excuse the extra 's'..........my typing is not that good - or rather I do not proof as I should.
