    If it was then there would be a few openly gay members of this forum. But I've never seen a post from anyone saying they've taken it up the bum.

    CUK is (without necessarily intending to be) homophobic.
    I agree. There is obviously a stigma to taking it up the pooper. You only have to look at Bolshie Bastard and the BN66 thread. They're like sheep on a cliff edge with a welsh man approaching with his trousers down. We all know they're going to inch closer to the edge but eventually they're all going to get shafted.

    If the answers to the above is yes-yes-yes then you are probably Wilmslow.
    No, he was talking of AtW

    There seems to be a bit of a worldwide backlash against gays at the mo. The Syrians being the most Draconian, they have identified a city full of them and they are levelling it with artillery even as we speak

    As to the OP... do you mean 'gay' like the schoolyard taunt, or actual homosexuality? Perhaps this might help you: "I have read your website and it is obviously that your a foggot."
    There was a certain amount of sarcasm/irony in my original post.
    If there were no stigma to being gay then the original "its a little bit gay" would have no meaning or power.

    It seems that there are 2 worlds. If you can live in the openly gay one then you have no problems, but if you inhabit the other world then you will face a lot of issues if you even hint you are gay.

    I recall someone posting a few years ago that reading the comments on this board had stopped him coming out

    Perhaps we need a Poll

    CUK is (without necessarily intending to be) homophobic.

    .
    As you say nothing wrong with same sex relationships. It takes all sorts. Sounds like you may have a cottage in the country you like to visit. Perhaps a garden on a slope you have to mow or you once worked packing bags in a sweet shop?

    Just asking like.

    At my old school, in the geography class there was a map of the world.

    One of those maps you don't see anymore with the UK at the centre of the world.

    Over the English Channel some wag had scrawled 'The "what old Greg says" start here'.

    Was there right the way through from lower fourth to upper sixth.

    If you already have a Wilmslow Test questionnaire, why did you ever let him in the door in the first place?
