Is anyone really bothered?

So England's wicket keeper has found the need to announce that he is gay, does that mean the others will now have to announce they are heterosexual?

In the scheme of things why do homosexuals think it is so important to announce their sexuality to all and sundry?

/// He said he could no longer bear to lie about his sexuality. ///

/// "I'm comfortable with who I am - and happy to say who I am in public," ///

/// I feel it is right to be out in the open about my sexuality. If more people do it, the more acceptable it will become. That must be a good thing. ///

Do they think that they are that important, and that anyone is at all interested in their sexuality? I know that I am not.

The gall and hypocrisy of some on here is breathtaking. They have the barefaced cheek and audacity to direct comments at me suggesting that I must in some way be obsessed with this subject (read their posts), yet they are the very same individuals who carry on pontificating, analysing and discussing it ad nauseum.

My views are short and not so sweet, honest but obviously controversial and contentious, and I reckon that's what really gets their goat. So, if you can't stand the heat, folks, either get out of the kitchen, or return to the closets from whence you came?

i would replace 'controversial and contentious' with....

outdated and limp-wristed.

.....or argue against your stance given the nature of this kind of forum.

ETY has 'issues' about this topic............that much is plain for others to see....

Perhaps people are so disgusted by the blatant homosexuality that they feel the need to speak up? Snap.

interesting point.....

"Perhaps people are so disgusted by the blatant homosexuality that they feel the need to speak up?"

as opposed to....

"Do they think that they are that important, and that anyone is at all interested in their sexuality?"

now i'm confused.

[jackthehat]

Blatant homosexuality in a thread about a chap who has just announced that he's gay......!?!

Well, who'd a thunk it whiskeryron, eh ?

[Zeuhl]

<<homophobia
homosexuality
Snap. >>

Hardly Ron. You betray your own prejudices by suggesting they are on the same level.

Homosexuality is a state or orientation that is 'natural' for a minority of people. It is not a choice.

Homophobia is an attitude of fear, hatred and prejudice - it is a choice and a p1ss poor one at that.

Can anyone name an openly gay professional footballer?

[eyethenkyew]

"limp wristed" would most certainly apply to those purveyors of unnatural acts being defended on here by their equally "limp wristed" apologists.

"ETY has issues about this topic..."
I most certainly do, as opposed to those apparently quite relaxed about indulging in such totally unnatural activities, no doubt including some on this thread?

Get back to me the day and hour the perverted ones can use their God given sexual organs for procreation, as intended, instead of for debauched and perverse physical "pleasure".

Hey Ducky

<<use their God given sexual organs for procreation, as intended, instead of for debauched and perverse physical "pleasure"

I have just the two children.

I am happy to report that my wife and I have used our sexual organs for pleasure way in excess of the two 'procreation' efforts.

Sorry to hear Ducky has been on a lesser ration.

See the word GAY on here and the same flock group together, who is interested in what sordid sex this bloke has. It is even on the front page of the Telegraph how does this story make front page news.

[eyethenkyew]

reefer,

Exactly. Why should such insidious practises be given the oxygen of publicity? Those insecure closets have such a lot to answer for!

[spaycehoppa]

And this, people, is the exact reason why a sports person coming out is such a big deal, because society has so many ignorant biggots that it's a rarity for someone in sport,to have the courage to speak up. Thankfully most people have reacted positively to Steven.

Ducky and Reefer - a Daily Mail love-in....now thats really sordid!

[reefer]

ixion i never mentioned the mail. Move away from the flock

Ducky doesn't believe in using his 'sexual organs' for 'pleasure' - only 'procreation'. So no wonder he is bitter and frustrated.

[reefer]

redhelen is your last post about bigots aimed at me if so read my post again i am not intrested in what he, she or sordid sex turns them on. Why should it be on the front page,
