The 'fairy' in the @Peta campaign refers to my 'Tooth Fairy' DVD that's all. Take my advice if you act like a victim you get treated like 1.

Alan Carr has made a lot of money from his wildly exaggerated camp persona. Don't the straights just love to laugh at the funny fairy who never betrays the slightest hint that he actually has a penis, let alone puts it in places that straight people don't like to think about. Alan Carr, we salute you.
ReplyDeleteNow let's get on with attacking those awful gays who make the straights uncomfortable like Peter Tatchell...
Please. Even the Daily Mail think Saint Peter is a 'national treasure'...
DeleteIt's not self loathing to find Alan Carr repellent, surely. The Larry Grayson de nos jours
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with Larry Grayson?
ReplyDeleteI loathe that tendency to dismiss people like Grayson and Kenneth Williams etc, just because they never verbally came out and they had largely sexless characters. They were the first gay people to be widely known and popular and they're part of the groundswell that the modern gay rights movement was built on. And they were talented and funny.
Just like Alan Carr.
Some people have got nothing better to do than sit in wait ready to take offense or be judgmental.
I think Carr's right. Some of it is a bit self-loathing (though I do think the self-loathing accusation is way over-used. Just read the comments section on Queerty, for example, where it gets thrown around with depressing regularity)....
Seeing as Larry Grayson and Kenneth Williams have been safely dead for some years and I'm not aware of any revelations about 8 in a bed sex romps, it seems that they were largely sexless. I agree that it's very easy to look back from a time when gay marriage is legal and criticise such figures.
DeleteNevertheless, times have moved on and I think more should be expected from camp performers today. Julian Clary and Graham Norton both have a hint of mischief about them and Clary was flirting with men on his shows twenty years ago. Alan Carr is just blah.
I know Carr's programme is called "Chatty Man", which echoes a particularly nasty phrase for gays that's associated with real violence, but he's just being edgy, so that makes it absolutely fine.
