When the BBC announced that they also added that Hague and his wife had a miscarriage during the summer. So why would anyone announce that just after someone has resigned. Unless that is the person that he has been mucking about with and also why would Christopher Myers resign if these this rumours were not true.

Given that I'm aware of zero evidence that Hague is either gay, or that he was having an inappropriate relationship with Myers, the comment regarding the miscarriages, etc was probably made to show that Hague and his wife have been going through a tough enough time without having to deal with this kind of innuendo, and also to show why sexuality rumours are particularly hurtful.
Myers may have resigned over the 'extra adviser' issue just as easily as a gay one. Besides, it seems you can be out and proud in Cameron's government.
I'm interested in the political side right now - about making sure that Gay rights in the UK are pushed forwards and not left on the back-burner,
But what more "gay rights" do you want?
They should be "on the back burner" as you put it, as there is little else to do.
Yes, before you ask, I do think bullying at school is still an issue and no, before you ask, I don't happen to support gay adoption, so I have no concerns on that score.
I don't think we homosexuals have anything to worry about from the coalition government. Probably the most unfriendly MPs are the rump of old lefties from the post industrial North.
I think there are more bi / gay people in society than we think...and that is not a criticism by the way. I am all for anything goes, so long as it is legal and it is consensual.

Frankly, he probably should have resigned over that issue, and I don't believe that he should have been appointed in the first place, but the 'inappropriate relationship' innuendo and whispers should never have been an issue. Guido's been a complete cock on this one, frankly.
The whole subject just stinks of homophobia. It's sickening. Take this extract from the Telegraph:
Rumours about their closeness had been swirling around Westminster and the internet after photographs were published showing Mr Hague and Mr Myers walking and laughing together, dressed casually and wearing sunglasses.
It's pathetic. Whether Hague is or isn't is a separate issue (although if he is then he's a vile hypocrite), the reporting has been utterly ridiculous and the media shows itself up for what it is, once again.

I suspect the extra "rights" he wants are gay "marriage" and gay adoption.
I too support neither. I've never understood the outrage that a CP is not called a marriage, which is based on a Judeo-Christian, male-female concept. Why would I want to participate in that?

That's Guido's MO though, he is just more focussed on the coalition now it is in government.

Agreed, but I just find it so distasteful that he resorted to what was, frankly, homophobic innuendo to take another scalp. Myers should never have been appointed, but that has nothing to do with anyone's sexuality unless there's some actual evidence of an inappropriate relationship. The fact that Guido stuck to innuendo, and never actually published any such evidence indicates to me that no such evidence existed.
Two males sharing a room with twin beds, if thats a sign of being gay then I must assume half of our clientele in our hotels are secretly shagging. And if having breakfast with a man who has slept in a bed in the same room as you , wearing sunglasses and heaven forbid a man laughing with another man is allegedly another sign of being gay then that about covers nearly all the male population of the world at some time or another.
The media in this country should be ashamed of itself along with that t*at Staines, a suddenly holier than thou , ex bankrupt , convicted drunk driver , drug taking ex organiser of illegal raves and acid house parties , and he feels able to pass judgment on others ?
You know what, I am not a fan of Hague, but I do not believe he is gay.
I don't believe he's gay either. I've stayed in a twin room with my male friend, shared a breakfast table with him as well. i have even laughed at his jokes at the same table. I think he patted my back once. I also gave him a job once too as he was skint and needed work and I had a job going. But he was crap at it and resigned.
I guess now I'm "out" and anyone reading this will assume I'm gay and shagging my mate.
It's not very clever to share a hotel room with anyone other than your partner when you are in the public eye.
True. In any case, even if they are not in the public eye most men don't want to share a room with another man. When attended business meetings at hotels I would never dream of sharing a room with a work colleague. Hague is a millionnaire - surely he can afford to book two rooms?
Strange story. Can anyone tell me why this unqualified person was on £30,000 a year as Hagues "special adviser"? And why has he resigned today? The phrase "jobs for the boys" takes on a whole new meaning.:o

The reality of an election campaign is that you might well find yourself having to book accomodation at short notice, and you will only be there a few hours. There sometimes aren't enough rooms to go round, so that's why you might end up sharing.

Btw, if he's gay, so what. If he isn't, so what!
In govt as in the civil service, you dont share accomodation when on duty. I guess it is the same for political parties.

I thought we had moved past the point where being gay was seen as being detrimental to a career?

blokes sharing rooms are usually on holidays, stag nights, etc.
Men dont share rooms when on official business, civil service duty, pilitical party duties etc. They are usually barred and there are rules governing that.

That is totally untrue, party business is up to the political party, there are no rules whatsoever barring sharing of rooms.

That photograph in the papers today!!!! Whoah......gaydar alert i say. Sory but i am sure everyone felt the same.
Special advisor at 25. What a joke.
