a lost faith

Come on BBC. “Gays”. - Don’t you mean gay people? Would you say ‘straights’..? No, didn’t think so!

Leemountjoy Ground breaking british tv. LOVED this show

Wait, is that Gino D’Acampo in the middle?

If it's not transgender or gander neutral it gay...or im black..or Muslim...can we have a... straight white person day pls...and not bent

BBC laughingly call this 'news'.

Weirdos

Actually, it strongly implied that gay men are paedophiles, which was a retrograde step.

Don't mind me BBC, just doing your job for you. Tommy Robinson 'Not one journalist has reported the Panodrama scandal' Live event starting now at BBC Salford

Just got to love this bbc 🙄

Great program

“Gays” ?

I loved it.

And introduced Anthony Cotton what a dreadful gay character. Effeminate camp knicker stitcher. Some gays actually do live quite well in society without demonstrating their sexual preferences.

Haven't watched the show - never will. Have no desire to. Next!

How the tories have anti- lgbt sentiment in their DNA... gtto toriesout

Give it a rest !

I remember that it was shite. The main character was a smarmy git.

Er....I really don't think so

Changed my life

Absolutely sick to death of hearing about gays.

I was 14 when this program started and it literally changed my life.

FFS

This is news how exactly?

Opinion: As a queer black man, I feel so let down by Jussie SmollettI wanted to believe Jussie because the thought of him lying was too despicable to stomach. Using the symbolism of a noose would be dancing on the graves of ancestors who suffered and lost their lives. It just felt too horrifying to be fake Seems to me something is wrong with this article... I don't ever recall hearing any gay person call themselves 'queer', which is a demeaning term used 200 years ago he chose to use a lot of perceivably negative adjectives about himself ? Lock him up! He’s embarrassed himself and the LBGT community.

Tan France was asked on Queer Eye if he’s a terroristIf you're brown, you have to put up with unwelcome comments like these all the time Well, just look at the 'tans' of those people committing atrocities. It might be reasonable to ask, though I never would. All the time? Really? Go home Metro. False oppression leading to racist by definition accusations, based completely on internal fears and feelings toward the native population. We see right through this shit now so you can lie all you want about you invented racial narrative. Brownprivilege

Opinion: Queer as Folk has turned 20 this year yet it was more radical and fearless than many LGBT shows today. Twenty years on, the fact that gay sex remains a taboo within the mainstream – with films like Bohemian Rhapsody and Call Me By Your Name facing criticism for 'airbrushing' it from the screen – only reinforces the show’s path-breaker status Oh look, they're all men.

Opinion: Twitter is a crucial safe space for many LGBT+ people – now it's failing usMembers of the queer community across the world use social media as an escape from the constraints of life in a country where they are unable to live freely The world is no safe space, nor should a major social media platform strive to be a safe space (for anyone). If you can't find a safe space find a psychiatrist instead. Chances are you need that a lot more than you need a safe space. I don’t believe Twitter is necessarily a safe space for anyone. It’s based on varying opinions, views and beliefs. All this whining over a ridiculous emoji? Really? What you really mean by safe space, is that you can’t be offended. Well you don’t have the right not to be offended unfortunately. Pretty pathetic to compare that to the hardships faced by people in other countries.

Gay conversion therapy proves there’s still bigotry towards LGBT people | Julie BindelLaws upholding the rights of lesbians and gay men have come far – it’s society’s attitude that now has to catch up, says journalist and political activist Julie Bindel Gays will lie about anything to get budget funding. You should be really stupid to believe that crap. Duh If it’s true that some straight humans are conflicted and decide they are gay is it possible for some gay humans to also be in conflict and want to be straight?
