Britain's Gay Footballers - BBC3 Tonight

[DorsetSpursFan]

9.00pm on BBC3:
Amal Fashanu, niece of Justin Fashanu, the only ever openly gay British professional, goes on a mission to discover why no gay player has followed in her uncle's boots ...

OK stop sniggering. I know a lot of us make 'Bummer' jokes and shout 'Gay!' whenever a post gets a bit 'sensitive'. I myself have been known to use the term 'player of the pink oboe'. This is all good natured banter - well I really, really hope it is. Blind hatred of people who don't fit the norm is pretty fcuked up!

I don't care about anyone's sexuality, nationality or colour. Folks are what they are and if you don't accept that then, sorry you are a bigot - and I really hate bigots (am I a bigot for hating bigots?).

Religion is another matter entirely, and I quite like to discuss theology with the sad people who knock on my door offering me salvation - religion is a choice, unfortunately not usually an informed one!

I knew a fella who played Saturday mornings, who was in the upper echelons of bummerdom. He loved it though & had been out for years - but he could never get a move to another team. More than likely because he was such a well known lover of the rear entrance delivery method. Never bothered him though & he used to say he never got stick for it though, just silent prejudice.

I don't think it'd bother me too much playing with a gay lad. To be honest most of us are probably already playing with a few gay fellas who daren't say anything

Oh and regarding Amal Fashnu being the only gay footballer - I'm sure we all out'd Sol C*mpbell years ago

a friend of mine has a kickabout with old school mates every week.
One week he comes late and sees a bird playing with them.

At the end of the game he takes a closer look and it's one of the guys that used to play with them and disappeared for a while only to rejoin them post-operation.

Did they all gang bang her/him?

Gays are good to have around. If my misses didn't have her "gay friend" I would never know what's going on in her head, what to get her for her birthday and would end up going out dressed as a complete retard (again)

Homophobic bigots are generally morons, repressed themselves and go in the same bracket as racists for me.

[P UNIT 1980]

Anyone watching this???

That bird comes across as one dense fooker with no clue what so ever about what she is on about.

Stiring a huge hornets nest for her own self promotion.
