Not Meant To Be Homophobic In Anyway

[lankeela]

but no doubt will be accused of it! On TV last night I noticed just how many gay couples were shown kissing (including in adverts) yet the amount of straight couples shown kissing during the same programmes/adverts was minimal. Do tv companies really think it is being pc to make a point of showing them kissing? Before anyone suggests I have a problem with this, yes I do - but not just gay couples I hate seeing public displays of affection from anyone!

It wasn't aimed at you Bobbi. Another poster stated that it made their skin crawl.

[Bobbisox1]

I know, just clarifying what I was saying

[hereIam]

Where does another poster say that ??

[Mozz71]

Sorry HereIAm, I misquoted them. It was actually that it made them "Physically gag", which is possible worse.

Apologies if my error was misleading.

i said this before on another thread that i find it irritating when couples of all persuasions slobber over each other on screen. I guess it's perhaps getting older and I don't want to see it in every programme i watch.

It used to be "I am the Love that dare not speak its name." (Lord Alfred Douglas)
Now it is the "love" that can't and won't shut up or give it a rest love.
Multi coloured swap shop anyone? Or perhaps animal vegetable or miserable?

I would think you can track down old episodes of Swap Shop on YouTube, I'm glad we've moved on a bit.

//the meaning of the phrase 'The love that dare not speak its name'?. A reference to homosexual love, although Oscar Wilde denied this in his defense //

I thought it was the divine Oscar rather than the awful Lord Alfred Douglas who did and said diddly squat in his long and wasted life - besides ruining Wilde ( butterfly boy etc)

what a batch !

in the elegant Nineties, the tarts of Lundy complained that their takings had gone own, as a result of Wilde's er ascendancy

and the tarts' knickers - I was going to mis-spell it as knockers but that wouldnt work - were er on their way down anyway ....

er lack-a-day, yeah with that advert with the three year old based on Open All hours, which has gone viral, the old man should pick up the kid and run down the street wivv'im. - er just a suggestion ....

And five minutes into Emmerdale.... I rest my case.

//None of us like everything we see - that's what makes us unique, and expressing a view, even a less than positive one, is your right in our free society. //

Wow. What an agreeable post. One I will preserve for the future if the need arises. Much obliged.

"gay couples have a high-ish joint income"

Do they?

Or have you just made that up?

[gingejbee]

^^yes, I think you'll find they do....and no irritating little brats to spend it on.

[albaqwerty]

that would make them 'dinks' surely? :-D

Two blokes kissing is enough to make me run to the bus shelter. I don’t want to see it, hear it, know about it.
I’ve noticed the ads on tv trying to make it compulsory.
I prefer not see this sort of thing, especially in my lounge. I can’t turn the tv off fast enough.

[gingejbee]

^^^david small-minded?

[Mamyalynne]

I'm still interested where all these gay kissing adverts are and at what hour are they broadcast.

[naomi24]

I saw one a couple of nights ago but can't remember what it was for. That worked!

[lankeela]

There's one for cars - where the young girl goes to France on an exchange visit. What is got to do with selling cars I can't imagine.

[david small]

Gingejbee or gingerbeer? Small minded, no. Just heterosexual.
