Gay Cake Row: A Very Strange Can Of Worms

The Telegraph.

"At the end of the day, if you went in there and two days later they said, 'We don't want to make your cakes because of our beliefs', you'd just never go back to that shop and you'd probably say to all your gay friends, 'Don't go there, they're anti-gay', and boycott it.

"What about if somebody walked in and said I want a cake and I want the whole Islamic State on it and how I support it and how I support them killing our people. Because it's a business, do they have to make it? And if they turn around and say they're not making it, we'd all applaud it."

It's a bit of a stretch to say; 'Coleen Nolan compares supporting gay rights to backing IS.' The Sun et al.

I’m 31, my husband’s 32. We’ve been married for two years and a couple for four years. Over the past few weeks he’s become obsessed – and I mean obsessed – with disco music.
He plays songs like Chic Le Freak and Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff until 4am sometimes. He’s even started to wear disco crop tops and hot pants, and has danced around the house from midnight to 8am. *
He’s even taken days off work to indulge this new passion.
He’s a manager for a local NHS hospital, at senior level, but he’s been suspended from work and now spends all his time buying disco records and watching YouTube.
A next-door neighbour, who is 68, told him to turn the music down but he ignored her and put Beyonce on at full blast.
Now he’s talking about holding a four-day disco party in our house. I told him no – but he insisted it had to be done for the good of everyone!
I asked him if he was having some sort of midlife crisis but he said he was just being himself and this was a bit of fun.
I’m worried about him, as this behaviour is so out of character. I just don’t understand him any more and wonder why he is doing this.
I could leave him but we’ve only been married for two years and it seems a bit early to be throwing in the towel.

Hmm...
Diplomatic as ever, Coleen Nolan doesn't say what most people must be thinking, but points out it's a bit early for a mid-life crisis, could be a reaction to stress at work, "There must be underlying reasons why he’s behaving this way."

* Slight four-hour discrepancy over the time he Disco dances until here suggests this person is delusional, or the letter is made-up.

Probably just doing research.

PS Congrats to Coleen Nolan for still filing her brilliant copy when she was in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

I wrote a thing the other day about how tabloids mis/represent The Gays.
I neglected to say how much of their most chucklesome stuff about The Gays are on their problem pages.
Here's a classic I Fancy My Girlfriend's Brother from my current favourite "agony aunt", The Daily Mirror's Coleen Nolan.
