Why is it that threads on gay couples or gay storylines are so popular and other toics are not? I look on this forum and any thread started about Johnny from Eastenders or any other gay character from a different soap gets so many replies and interests?
Is there an unfair bias towards this topic? And why are peole so quick to jump on topics of religion especially, with such hatred?
Surely I can't be the only one that has noticed this on here?

What harm is homosexuality doing on a comparitive scale?
What nonsense.
I wouldnt start a thread moaning about it.
Perhaps a better thread question would be "Why do so many religions go around spreading hate and murdering people, because they believe in something different?"
This is not strictly true!! As far as I know all the major religions promote peace!! Sadly they seem to attract many bigots, cranks & evildoers who are good orators & can twist people's minds into believing they are acting in the name of religion!! It was ever thus even back at the beginning of Christianity and, I suspect, the other religions too!!
If they promote peace, a lot of them certainly don't practise it.
I think in a lot of cases it's people wanting to be seen as PC - they make it out to be something special and a big deal and surely a gay person would rather not do that?
That's not very Christian of you. Jesus would want you to respect others. But hey, that's Christians - choose the bits of the Bible that make you feel better about yourself and ignore everything else.
P.S. - most ridiculous thread I've ever seen on Digital Spy. Well done.
This.
Erm there are plenty of other popular topics on here.
It's not so much a bias, but the pure fact is we now have the freedom to talk about sexuality, so we do so.
I cannot see there is a problem, what is your motivation for this post? Do posts about homosexuality annoy you because you do not agree with it?
As for Religion, that's always a touchy subject on here and is the case on any of the boards on DS, not just the soap section.
OP generally I think it's due to there being quite a few geighs on DS.
It says to me the OP has a problem with homosexuality, and the fact they bemoan religion is met with hostility, shows their motivation for this thread and will get snippy when they are disagreed with.
Do I?
But in answer to the OP's question: yes there is a disproportionate interest in homosexual characters and relationships. But so what?
