The Scottish Sun: Comes Out

SO why are the Churches so petrified of gay marriage that they are demanding a referendum on it? Is it really such a threat to civilisation
Some claim that because parenthood is fundamental to marriage and gays cannot conceive, it should not be allowed.
So what’s next — imposing divorce on heterosexual couples who cannot conceive?
Not so long ago the same Churches taught that slavery was an institution supported by God. They ignored all the things the Bible said about the equality of mankind. 
‘Good’ Christians in favour of slavery used a handful of passages from the scriptures to justify slavery, and today some find verses to apply to gays, without acknowledging that they are based on a culture that is no longer relevant to us....



Quite good piece in The Scottish Sun on Christian lunacy/hypocrisy.
Illustrated - but of course - with two gay men without faces.

Ivan Massow: Nice One Scotland!

TORY toff Ivan Massow was attacked by rock-wielding thugs during a visit to Scotland for Channel 4's The Secret Millionaire.
The gay insurance tycoon, 44, is a lifelong backer of the Conservative Party and is on their approved candidates list for potential MPs.
He's also pals with ex-PM Margaret Thatcher, famously escorting her to the 1999 party conference.

The Scottish Sun.
For the record Massow's not a "toff", all his fox hunting lord of the manor airs and graces are put on...

The Sun: When Celebs Attack!!!

It's all been kicking off in Sunland again!
'DALE 'gay hater' in rant at student'
"EMMERDALE'S Adam Thomas apologised yesterday for making a "queer" jibe at a gay student."
I have no idea who he is either, but judging from his photo "gay hater" Dale looks a bit "gay".
Anyway... "Thomas, 23, snapped after Ricky Platts, 22, approached him in a McDonald's.
Ricky - who is openly gay - went up to say hello after he spotted the actor having a meal there."
"But he says he was stunned when Thomas replied: "Yeah, what about it gay boy?"
Ricky claimed Thomas then started "hopping up and down like a madman" and calling him and a pal - who was in drag - "queers".
Ricky was so shit scared he took out his mobile phone and filmed all this, his misery having been compounded by the fact that Adam Thomas plays a friend of that gay in Emmerdale!
Anyway, Adam Thomas has said he's sorry, so I hope we'll hear no more of this.
'Fan sobs at Boy George's foul rant'
"FOUL-MOUTHED Boy George left a woman in tears after tipping a drink over her because she was chatting during his act at a charity gig."
Luckily someone filmed that on their mobile, too - don't you just love the modern world?
There's a link to a shaky video of it on The Sun's site - and I have to say I can't say I blame George.
And finally... Jim Davidson is interviewed about his next panto.
Although thankfully this reactionary shitbag's celebrity ranking is so low they only put it in The Scottish Sun.
'COMIC Jim Davidson has been branded a right-wing, homophobic racist - surely he can't be that bigoted?''
All together now: Oh yes he is!
Poor Jim hasn't been on the tellybox since 2007 when he called Brian Dowling a "shirtlifter" on Hell's Kitchen.
The case for the defence, Jim? "And anyway, I've been out for dinner with Brian Dowling since that incident.
"Would I have done that if I REALLY was homophobic?"
He's also put famousgaycouple "Colin and Justin" in his new panto.
So there'll obviously be no jokes about them being poofs, there then.
I - literally - cannot fucking wait.

Police Guidelines: To Serve and Protect Doggers

A shouty headline from The Daily Mail; 'Now police are ordered to protect 'Doggers' indulging in outdoor sex with strangers from hate crime.'
"An extraordinary new Hate Crime Guidance Manual has been handed to officers telling them to arrest anyone suspected of committing a hate crime against those engaged in ‘dogging’.
"Although it notes that outdoor sex can have an ‘impact on the quality of life of people using these locations for leisure pursuits’ - for example dog walkers and tourists - the rights of those cottaging, cruising or dogging must be taken into account by officers."
Well, it's extraordinary that the Mail thinks it doesn't have to explain to its readers what cottaging, cruising and dogging are.
Police being told to arrest people who commit a (hate) crime - that's not so extraordinary.
It's also encouraging to see that the Mail appear to be more outraged by the lenient policing of dogging; an activity that is almost exclusively part of the sordid twilight world of the heterosexual.
Doggers have certainly made arguing for cruising a lot easier.
We used to have to try and defend public sex with "it's a gay thing", now we can just point out how everybody's at it.
Thank fucking for that.
The Scottish Sun is all-over-the-place, veering between disgust and desire.
"COPS are being told to protect kinky DOGGERS - in case the perverts are targeted by hate mobs.
"Barmy new advice is being handed to officers on how to deal with the seedy thrillseekers, who have illegal outdoor sex with strangers."
Are doggers "seedy perverts" (Boo!) or "kinky thrill-seekers" (Wa-hey!)?
It's hard to tell these days, isn't it?

• The Association of Chief Police Officers in Scotland (ACPOS) Hate Crime Guidance Manual 2010 is available as a PDF here.
It's all a bit 'stating the bleeding obvious', and probably doesn't warrant its own 60 page booklet, but hey-ho.
Maybe someone should write a booklet explaining what the law is to journalists?
