Biphobia: Rampant

One silly old gay Tory said something disgusting on a TV reality show on Channel 5.

Bit baffled by how this 'shows that biphobia is rampant in the gay community'.

 But, yeah, try and construct a stupid article about how you hate gay men under ludicrous camouflage.

Christopher Biggins: State Of This

Celebrity Big Brother viewers have slammed Renee Graziano and Christopher Biggins after the Celebrity Big Brother housemates claimed bisexuality was the "worst type" of sexuality.

In Monday night's episode the pair were shown talking in the bedroom about sexuality, with openly gay Christopher Biggins asking the Mob Wives star: "Renee you’ve got nothing against gays have you?"

"I think it’s beautiful because it’s who you are and I think it’s natural," she said.

"But I think today in society, I think they kind of force things on people and confuse you," she continued.

Biggins agreed, before adding: "The worst type I’m afraid to say are the bisexuals. What it is is people not wanting to admit they’re gay."

Which saw Renee exclaim: "You have to pick a team!"

Mirror. 

Lest we forget, 'Biggins' is a member of the National Executive of LGBTTory.

Piss off you old twot.

Most of my boyfriends have been bisexual - I think they're the best.

CBB: Biggins!

Great to see my close show biz pal and fellow pantomine dame - we played The Ugly Sisters at Norwich Pier Theatre in 1997 - on my favourite tellybox show, Celebrity Big Brother.

PS I don't actually own a tellybox, this is why.

Union J: Non-Entity Half Comes Out

Presuming this is the same definition of bisexual as used by Tom Daley when he came out; ie 'I'm actually a screaming gaylord.'

The Sun. LOLOLOLOL!!!

But was it The Sun's gay showbiz editor Dan Wootton who goaded Shelley into coming out?

PS And a record-breakingly ridiculous piece on Pink News.

Saying she doesn't want to be labelled, when she clearly can't just say she's gay, is such a 70s throwback.

Celebrity Big Brother: Manufactured Big Bother

WINSTON McKenzie has sparked a homophobia row BEFORE even stepping in to the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The former UKIP MP* - who is now a member of the English Democrats - made a bizarre comment about co-habiting with gay people in his VT that aired ahead of him entering the famous house.

He chuckled: "I'd cope with a homosexual in the house, I guess I just have to be standing against a brick wall all the time."

Viewers were disgusted that his comments were aired, and even questioned why host Emma Willis didn't pull him up on his views when she interviewed him before he went inside... 

The Sun. 

 

This is impressive - as the comment was made in a pre-recorded segment the producers presumably included it to introduce him to viewers as the series' homophobic pantomime villain.

And yes, if he'd said it in the house, there'd have been a 'dramatic showdown' and he'd probably have been ejected.

There are two gay men in the house so far to offend, ex-Eastender, John Partridge, and X Factor's Christopher Maloney.

Noted heterosexual, David Gest, is also in there, alongside the bisexual, Angie Bowie.

Anyway, great to see ver gay media go into predictable meltdown.

'Ban bigots from the box - no more reality in reality TV!'

'THIS IS THE WORST THING SINCE TYSON FURY!!!'

Here's the Mirror's handy guide to 'the controversial politician'.

* You've probably noticed he wasn't a Ukip MP, he has stood for several political offices for several parties and always failed spectacularly. 

My opening comments were "Tongue in cheek" as a tribute to the wonderful tolerant Gay community who support freedom of speech #CBB #Chill

Celebrity Big Brother: 'Sake

Daily Star.

But Paul seems quite the hit with Twitter.*

Express.

Metro: LOL!

Celebrity Big Brother: A Quick Recap Of That CBB 'Gay Slur Row' For Busy People

Daily Star.

Someone you've never heard of before who's on Strictly Come Dancing or something acted a bit gay for a larf.
An American actor who hasn't been in a successful film for over 20 years asked if he was gay.
The man from Strictly said he wasn't, but has lots of gay friends and is comfortable with his sexuality.
The old man said something about him getting 'buttfucked'.
The young man said he might hit the old man.
'All hell broke lose!' ie it didn't.
Fin.

No, can't say I care that much really, either.

CBB: And The Winner Is...

Well done Jim - it couldn't have happened to a nastier bigot!
Presumably you'll be the special guest at G-A-Y on Saturday?

PS And congrats to the the Daily Star for getting their celebratory front page out so quickly last night.
They also say Jim may be getting his own programme on Channel 5.
Hopefully a chatshow, but one that isn't presented by a 'shirtlifter'.

Evander Holyfield: Comes Out Fighting

FORMER boxing champion Evander Holyfield has issued a public apology for likening homosexuality to a physical handicap while on Celebrity Big Brother.

The four-times heavyweight world title holder was the first housemate evicted from the Channel 5 show on Friday.

During his week in the Big Brother house with stars including Lionel Blair, Jim Davidson and Linda Nolan, he caused outrage and got a verbal warning from the show’s producers after saying being gay “ain’t normal” and can be “fixed”.

In his first newspaper interview since leaving the show, Holyfield, 51, told the Sunday Express: “I do owe an apology for what I said, but in that situation I felt I was talking to one person and I was telling that one person my view.

“I had completely forgotten about the cameras. I wanted to express how I felt about it, it was not that I was trying to push my views on to people, it was saying this is how I was raised, it wasn’t to the whole world. So I am going to make a public apology about that because I am sorry for anybody that I offended.”

The American boxer had been chatting with The Apprentice runner-up Luisa Zissman about the lack of openly gay sports stars when he made his comments. He was evicted when housemates Lee Ryan and Casey Batchelor had to choose between him and Zissman, after they came last in a public vote.

Holyfield, who had also admitted he once punched a horse...

Sunday Express.

That's right, he once punched a horse!

Update: Ofcom don't seem to be taking the complaints very seriously.

CBB: Blue For You

Exciting news!

Fagburn may have been watching the wrong clips, but I haven't seen Lee say he actually did it with Duncan.

This is from ye olde "anonymous source" in The Sun - talking to their token gayer and Mr Showbiz Dan Wootton.
The source is actually Lee saying they had a threesome or two in a 2010 interview with Now magazine.
SCOOP!

Regular viewers may recall Duncan James was outed by The Sun's sister title, News Of The World (RIP).

The Sun says (some more balls)...

Eh?

Still laughin at this mornings claims. Every1 knows about the 3somes but it's never gone beyond that. I mean I love Lee but not THAT much! 😂

PS Looney-tunes Evan Holyfield has left the Celebrity Big Brother building. Good riddance god-botherer! This piece about him by Louise McCudden in The Independent seems familiar...

Tweet Of The Day: Russell Brand

With respect to the ol' transgender community, I didn't have it off with the antiques kid off Wogan. My favourite media lie ever though.
— Russell Brand (@rustyrockets) September 4, 2013

Russell Brand responding with wit and grace to Lauren Harries claim they had "a romp" once.
Or as the Daily Star put it; 'EX-swap CBB star Lauren Harries claims she had a secret affair with bed-hopping comedian Russell Brand'

CBB: FFS

That's right, The Sun, Julian Clary is a "drag queen".
You really have this new-fangled street parlance down to a tee, don't you?

PS Didn't watch it, as it conflicted with my Bible studies group time-wise, but I liked this line from TV's drag queen, Julian Clary, when he emerged, blinking into the daylight; "I apologise for not being constantly filthy."
