You are putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5 and making the quite ludicrous assumption that because she hasn't berated Alexander (to be fair, I haven't seen Kav, Calum, Alicia, etc etc do so either) somehow she is condoning it. This is a nonsense.

It's a bit like someone saying they haven't heard Cheggers berate the atrocities committed by Pol Pot hence he must support him and his actions.

Nonsensical and misleading. Sure it's an extreme, and slightly out there example, but the point remains.”

I think you posted as I was - I misread post.
By the way I do not understand your reference to "Happy" ?

Perez once called will.i.am a faggot to his face, lest we forget.

Ah, well if I have the wrong end of the stick, then I apologise.

Hopkins has many faults but I don't see how this can be levelled as one of them and seems a bit desperate from her detractors to be honest, but this isn't surprising to me having read a few other threads.

The point remains though, for all those who seem to think she is somehow responsible or 'happy' with or condoning the use of the word faggot, purely because she didn't take it upon herself to reprimand Alexander.

Michelle and indeed BB had that base covered.

You have the right to be personally offended, stupid to say you are offended because someone else may be offended. You must be offended every minute of every day

Are you offended when Christians criticise Islam, are you offended when Muslims express their anti-democratic, homophobic, male supremacy views. Are you offended on behalf of Americans when they are criticised or Israelis or Jews in general?

Are you offended on behalf of Saudis when they are criticised for their views and barbaric actions? You can be sure that these groups and people are personally offended, why should you be?

Maggie”

Once again, you make ludicrous arguments.

And the term 'terminally offended' is getting very boring now. When you put that in almost every post you make, it fast loses any meaning.

I've never heard of faggot being a food but I guess it must be. I've never seen it in any restaurant menu, or any advert for it on TV or radio.

The motivation behind calling a black person the N-word is the same as the motivation behind calling a gay person a faggot (or whatever other slur you care to use).

It's an attempt to demean someone for a particular characteristic, to make yourself appear superior to the person you're insulting.”

Totally agree.

I agree. She, like Perez, doesn't care about most people on the planet.

I made an apology as I read the opening poster incorrectly. The way you have replied to my apology says more about you than me.

Just wondered why it's not in the public eye more. Like on TV or billboards. Never seen it advertised anywhere. Never seen it on restaurant menus or in pubs etc

Type of meatball in gravy - used to be made by company called Brains ( but not made out of them I don't think!)

No it does not and the points remain to anyone who may think she is at fault here. If that is you, then the points apply to you, If it is not, they don't.

The whole 'it says more about you' thing is a nonsense btw.

I'm gay and if a straight woman started blowing kisses at me, I'd just laugh. I'm not interested and it doesn't threaten me in any way.”

Yup, this.

Where would I have heard of them lol? I've just said there is no adverts about them, nothing when you go out to have a meal. You'd almost be tempted to think it was an offensive word.

I thought they had died out long ago (they're not exactly haute cuisine) but I actually stumbled upon them in Sainsburys not so long ago.

Suffice it to say, they didn't make it into the trolley. A guy's got to have standards you know!

Im not saying Perez isnt antogonistic, I just think its best not to criticise him for being a "camp" queen. Some people are camp and that isnt Perez's problem. He is antagonistic thats his problem and it just happens to be camp when he does it.

I suppose I just see a lot of gay men getting criticised for being camp and that they should strive to act "straight"
