Evan Davis: Slut Praising

This was the big scandal while we were away.

Evan Davis made a light-hearted passing reference on Newsnight to gay sluttery, and some gaybores went on Twitter and whined about it.

Wow!

PS Mind you the whole tedious storm in a dating app did inspire a rare moment of humour from Pink News.

Patrick Strudwick: How Long Til He Says 'Imagine If They Said That About Black People!' In 2014 Sweepstake - Bingo!

At last!!!
Patrick finally used his favourite phrase - "Imagine if they said that about black people!" - for the first time in 2014 yesterday evening (January 5th, approx 11pm) - and wonderfully it was in reaction to someone saying something stupid on Celebrity Big Brother!
And he compared it to fascism!
Kerching!!!
Boys, Britain's most profound and original political gay thinker has not let us down.
A self-satirising gay cliché, this professional pink pearl-clutcher really is the idiotic hysterical gaybore that just keeps on giving.
Winners will be notified later today - thanks to all who entered.

PS Did you know Patrick Strudwick is now also an expert on lesbian subcultures in impoverished black townships in South Africa?

Well he is!

Good job he got the byline on this Independent On Sunday article about the horror of "corrective rape" - and not Clare Carter who only went to South Africa and conducted all the interviews. 

Some may think this ironic - if not breathtakingly hypocritical - when it's an article about the exploitation of women, but thankfully we know that Patrick really, really cares.

Cause he keeps telling us he does.

Yay Patrick!

Daily Telegraph: Astonishing!

It’s astonishing, given what’s happening in the real world, that TV comedy still consigns its gays to a fictional ghetto. A remarkable (yet almost silent) change has taken place in British attitudes over the past few years. The vast majority of straight people now barely notice the gay people in their midst, and gay marriage – which would have been unthinkable not 10 years ago – looks likely to sail through Parliament with hardly a murmur.

From the Daily Telegraph.

Yes, from the same Telegraph that's spent most of this year screaming like a dying banshee against gay marriage. 
Cut to uproarious canned laughter.
This is from an article using Vicious to gallop through a short, potted history of gay characters in British TV comedy, which contradicts itself at every turn. 
The journalist, Neil Midgley, is looking forward to Vicious because he doesn't like to see gay stereotypes - so I'm not sure what he'll make of these Vicious Old Queens.
He likes his gay characters to be "normal" and "ordinary", and not "camp and effeminate".
So just like straight people, then?
Little Britain though is singled out for praise for the "delusional" character Daffyd, because - apparently - they "used it to poke fun at gay people who still tediously insist on being special and different."
Zzzz... 

Thanks to Darren. x
