Why was everyone except Tulisa wearing a Red Ribbon? Is she homophobic or something (which I very much doubt)

Yeah, it was odd. Other contestants didn't wear it either, or I couldn't spot it...
Maybe she does not support this then.. bit bad but there you go..
Well if Tulisa doesn't feel anything for all the people who have Died from an Aids related illness and the people who are living with the virus, all I can say is shame on her and I hope she doesnt return to the x factor next year.
I agree so why not wear the ribbon then?
The only person exhibiting ignorance when it comes to homosexuality is you, AIDS is not a disease limited to homosexuals.
As a judge I would have thought that Tulisa should have worn one .... but ther again she didn't wear a poppy for remembrance week and chose to wear a poppy ring instead which I found was a bit disrespectful as the poppy symbol isn't meant to be a fashion accessory
I have already cleared that up :rolleyes:
I agree if a ribbon is good enough for everyone else why not her after all is she special or some and TBH I didn't know the u could get red ribbon rings.
Poor girl, she is very innocent about life.
I thought World AIDS Day was like a holiday where you were supposed to go out, have casual sex and get AIDS. I thought it was a celebration of the disease.
Good thing I found out just in time!

Tell that to the Poppy Appeal who actually sell the Poppy Ring for around 30 pounds.
Agreed.
I hate the sort of attitude that if you don't wear poppies/ribbons/wristbands then you're a bad person. Maybe some people just don't want to. And what's wrong with that? It doesn't always mean they don't support the cause, either, and I think it's quite ignorant to automatically assume that they don't.
I always get a poppy each year but that's my choice. Those who choose not to wear them aren't wrong for doing so, just like I'm not automatically "right" for doing so...it's not even about right or wrong, it's about personal beliefs and how some people are uncomfortable conforming to social dos and don'ts, while others don't see an issue. I think each "side" is just as entitled to do as they please. The fact that we as a society police this sort of thing so much now and are so judgemental towards those who choose not to follow the masses disturbs me as things like this should be about individual choice. I also think if things like this are so enforced, in a sense, it becomes meaningless. I'd feel it a shame people are more likely to wear poppies/ribbons/wristbands because they feel they have to rather than because they genuinely wanted to.
I'm unconvinced that the red ribbon overload on TV has any effect on the cause whatsoever.
It's the poppy appeal themselves who are selling the various forms of the poppy in rings, hair bands, broaches, etc.
I do not wear one, I do not wear a pink ribbon for breast cancer, I do not give to sport relief, comic relief or children in need but I will wear a poppy. This does not mean I am anti any cause. I give money to charity every month, 4 charities, and quite frankly I get fed up with people who seem to think those that do not give to the big events and the major causes are in some way bigotted or uncaring. Those sitting in judgement do not know what these people do for charity and are simply trying to make themselves look compassionate.
