I couldn’t agree more Al.
I accept it’s a generational thing and I’ll be classed as homophobic due to the era I was brought up in but I just can’t stand watching two blokes or two women kissing on TV.
I’ve worked in garages, shops, the grocery industry and the sports industry over 43 years and I’ve not come across the % of gay people that now get rammed down our throats on TV.
I’ve worked with openly gay men and women and had no problems at all with them, one of my first retail managers in Stourbridge at Hepworth Menswear was a well known local gay called Billy Bennett who looked like John Humphries.
Bill was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and taught me a lot.
Non of of the gays I worked with acted or wanted to be treated and different to the non gay people, I didn’t ever see a single piece of gay bashing.
When you consider this was the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s it might surprise some but it’s a fact........being gay wasn’t an issue for the gays I knew and the straights that worked with them.
My cousin works at a university in the north east and she’s in charge of “Diversity” at her university.
She’s 36 and has never had a proper job in the real world, went straight from education into working in education......like my dad always said to me, this creates a problem for a lot who work in academia, their view of the world tends to be very childlike.
I’ve had to mute certain parts of her FB feed because she’s LBGT mad even though she’s straight, that said if you saw her picture you’d wonder how any bloke could fancy her!
We met up on holiday this year and she was all about BLM and didn’t like it when I pointed out they were black racists.
The whole TV thing has got stupid now, I’m sure Schofield only announced his gayness because he thought he was about to get replaced, I honestly think it was a career move on his part.
I’m so sick of it all now that I no longer know who most TV “personalities are, I stopped watching prime time TV about 10 years ago.
Is Larry Grayson still doing The Generation Game?
