The trouble with Peter Tatchell

[xoggoth]

Your right! It's high time us necrophilic coprophiles had equal acceptance. Not coprophilic necrophiles though, that's disgusting.

MF, how is a homosexual equivalent to a paedophile exactly?

The normality of sexuality or sexual proclivity seems to be based on a statistical acceptance. Homosexuality is now accepted in Western informed society on the basis of statistical compliance. So heterosexuality is 90% of proclivity. Homosexuality 9%. So now homosexuality is accepted. Other sexual inclination such as paedophilia or necrophillia,copraphillia are unaccepted.

So whose to say that you shouldn't also film programs with these views represented!!!

Btw. I only agree with the first 99%.

Never too sure about the bloke. I liked the way he defended some couple accused of homophobic hate crime saying they had a right to say what they thought but then on TV progs he has seemed confused and self contradictory. Don't imagine he is a terribly good presenter.

IF an article in the DT is right the program does sound over the top but then the general conscensus on the net seems to be that the bloke who wrote the article is somewhat unbalanced himself so maybe we should wait and watch it.

The UK does not have true Free Speech unlike the US. You only have to look at that Pastor who wanted to burn the Quran. If that was the UK, he would have been arrested.

We did once.

I thought the idea wnt that catholics shouldn't be shagging other men / women / animals in the first place so disease should not be spread, and they should only be shagging their husbands / wives for the purposes of procreation. Or have I not understood the catholic take on sex ? (IANAC).

Nope. Got it in one.

[moorfield]

Surely all the Catholic church has to do is reclassify condoms as disease prevention rather than contraceptive devices?

I'm sure you would like the chance to revisit what I posted.

AIDS/HIV is a disease spread with it's highest contagion level amongst homosexuals so I therefore ask why a homosexual has been given a stand to mock the Catholic church over the spread of AIDS/HIV.

This country has allowed freedom of speech to run too far.

It hasn't Minestrone. Thats the problem. The UK does not have true Free Speech unlike the US. You only have to look at that Pastor who wanted to burn the Quran. If that was the UK, he would have been arrested.

It's not Free Speech, it's PC.

Not true I'm afraid.

I don't mind him having an opinion but would he let a gay basher 1 hour on the channel stating that aids is spread by homosexuals?

[minestrone]

I'm just lost on the irony of a homosexual who admits he has lost dozens of friends to HIV/AIDS blaming the catholic church for the spread of the disease.

[minestrone]

3 million Catholics in South Africa, 6.7 million aids victims.

40 million Catholics in Spain, 140,000 aids victims.

If that twit even comments that AIDS is spread by Catholicism then one would remind him that the disease kills more homosexuals than catholics in this country by a magnitide of thousands.

Not actually seen what he has said but perhaps people don't feel kindly to organisations that continually condemn them and try to restrict their rights to conduct their private lives as they see fit. Funny that.

I don't see Channel 4 giving time to Jonathan King or Paul Gadd to talk about their private lives!!!

[MarillionFan]

Why are channel 4 allowing him to have an hour of bigoted ranting?

I blame Brian Dowling. Before him there had never been a gay person on TV before.

I also blame Peter Sellers for the influx of Indian FTVs over the last decade.
