Last night i got anumber of phone calls telling me that there was about 5 lads who where wearing baby blue shirts with Sleep Society on it.

 

Did anyone watch this annoying gay last night and see a group of lads wearing these shirts

 

Just asking because i designed the shirts and am the president of the society.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Didn't see it.

 

What are anyone's views on Brian from Big Brother presenting SM:TV Live??

 

 

[EFM_Costello]

Whats the world come to have a gay like him on childrens Tv

 

Andy Peters as well

 

Next thing people will say there nothing wrong with gays.

[Claire!]

if it makes them happ - who cares? Life's too short to be worryinh about crap like " he's gay, it isn't normal" etc.

 

In my opinion, what every makes you happy, should be respected.

[cletus]

claire you must be gay then. shame im agreeing with some allbins boys but never mind.

[Claire!]

Trust me! I'm not Gay! I was just merely stating that what ever makes you happy should be respected.

 

i mean you obviously like being a [censored], and that makes you happy, and i respect that too.

advertising is dominated by gay men.. television is gradually following suit.. i think its a creative thing..

having said that if a packer thought up the carling adverts then thats fine by me...

[Chubbhead EFM]

I watched it last night and I can confirm that there were boys in blue wearing shirts that said 'Sleep Society'. I have to say they looked a bit camp!

 

As for a gay man presenting a children's television show, if you think about the ages of the kids who watch it, most of them won't be aware that he is a gay man (I mean that they are not aware of the stereotypical image of a gay person as yet-they learn that from parents and other adults). Therefore, what is the harm???

Are you suggesting there would be some harm if they were aware he was gay?

[Chubbhead EFM]

No, not at all, but that is what other people have a problem with. Some people have a problem with an openly gay man presenting a kids tv show. I, however, do not.

[AFF]

Hi Chubbster.

 

Some people assume that any gay man is psychologically driven to molest any male aged between 3 and 93.

 

Interestingly, and illogically, not all the same people assume that any heterosexual man is psychologically driven to molest any female aged between 3 and 93.

 

 

[Chubbhead EFM]

Very true, AFF, very true. For some reason people tend to assume that homosexuality and paedophillia go hand in hand, which is completley wrong.

 

However, I don't think that is the issue here. Some people (not me) think that having a gay bloke on a kids tv will 'corrupt' children. I don't know how this would be though. Either they believe that seeing a adult gay bloke will make children think that (God forbid!) being gay is 'cool' and ok or they think it will influence them to become gay themselves which is totally illogical.

I'm not so concerned by Graham Norton's sexuality as I am by the fact that a lot of the time he's not particularly funny. Still funnier than Jim Davidson, mind you.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Although nothing wrong with gays, if the gay presenters were all sacked it would free up more positions for people like me!

 

Talking of gays, did anyone see Ali G (well Bruno the Austrian fashion bloke) in Alamamba in the last series, quite possibly the funniest thing i've seen for years.

[CANV EFM]

there is only one thing for it thornsy.. if you want t.v. fame your going to have to bite some pillow...

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Hmmm. I have mixed feelings on this one. I mean, Brian's behaviour on Big Brother (talking about 'anal', simulating 'oral' with other males) must surely make him highly inappropriate for Childrens TV.

 

AFF and Chubbhead are, of course, correct when they criticise suggestions of a correlation between homosexuality and paedophilia. And though I'm fairly sure that a higher number of paedophiles are homosexual than the national average, it is most insulting to suggest that being gay would make you more inclined to be a paedo.

 

As for 'gay' being portrayed as 'cool', well I'm pretty sure that is the case at times too. Your pinkos and liberalists will insist that there's nothing wrong with that, but I'm not convinced. I think it's wrong to 'encourage' it.

 

Unless, of course, they're sexy, buxom 18-year old girls!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

 

[CANV EFM]

this is all a bit new age and 'caring sharing liberal' fk the benders!!

[CANV EFM]

well when i say fk em what i mean is dont actually fk them that would be playing into their hands...er when i say playing into their hands i dont mean....

[Colin Zeal EFM]

CANV, you're digging yourself deeper and deeper into that hole... er, when I say deeper into that hole i don't mean....

 

 

[EFM Trev]

I agree that it's very convenient for homophobes to draw a parallel between homosexuality (which, for whatever reason, scares them) and paedophilia (which repulses everybody). The fact that there are so many gays in the media doesn't bother me as much as the fact that there are so many people on the television these days with no discernable talent.
