[Connell10]

it wouldnt bother me in the slightest if a rangers player was gay as long as they give their all for the club! to be honest i think some of the things being said on this thread from both sides are pretty childish! we should all live and let live im mean it is the 21st century isnt it? AND BEFORE YOU START FACTO NO IM NOT GAY AND YOU CANT GO ON A DATE WITH ME!!!!!!!

dont have a problem with the gay fraternity at all - each to their own as they say. What does get right on the titties, and think someone touched on this earlier in the thread, is blokes playing the macho card and constantly harping on about their sexual conquests, and how appealing they are to the opposite sex. This grates far more than the overtly gay person. Insecure or what?
Those that talk about it, dont - those that dont talk about it,do.

As ever TW, good post. I don't know if any of the giggly school-boys bothered to read the BBC article by Justin Fashanu's neice (don't worry for anyone who is insecure - she is really hot and works in fashion and there is a good picture of her). I actually found it v moving, her talking about what Fashanu and his family faced. Brian Clough comes out of it incredibly badly. Fashanu's brother disowned him but the guilt has ruined his life. All very sad but thanks to the boo boys there must be other players going through the same torment. Who knows, some of them might even play for QPR...

too much gay stuff on tv nowadays...if its not Eastbenders its ****ing Holby City...swamped with the subject. They are everywhere. Is it natural? no its not but better not protest as its not seen as being very "pc" in this dishonest "pc" world we now live in. Tbh i cant stand the dishonest PC brigade either but thats because i am both "homophobic" and "racist" i suppose

[nuffieldranger]

wow theres some neanderthals on here, have to admit i was homophobic until i grew up as well

Some of us aren't so keen on the m*ron brigade, but we put up with it...

it is natural for them though isn't? Heterosexuality is unnatural for homosexuals.
It all depends on your standpoint.
As for the soaps you mentioned, surely they are just reflecting society as realisticly as possible.

Well there won't be too many gay footballers coming out if the *****ic comments on this thread are anything to go by.

Were any of you amongst the fans booing Terry for being a racist?

Just wondering.
