Now I'm not an expert on gay interrelationships or culture but I'm figuring that Andy Cohen has a good point from a human perspective:

Her stance on this reminds me of Little Britain and Davide character insisting 'I am the only gay in the village'

I'd give a lot to be a fly on the wall when she watches what we've been seeing. Let's hope hopkins hasn't given out her address...heh

As a gay man I can say I never really knew much about her or the show Drag Race (Just not my thing) which I believe she is on but good luck to her if she wants to bang on about rights.

This "My Gays" phrase imho is harmless. I'm not one of her GAYS but I'm sure there is a collection of gay people who are happy to have what seems like a nice enough lady in their corner.

Why be so sensitive about it, everybody is so offended these days.

She uses her cause to boost her career. That is my opinion. In this day and age it shouldn't even be a cause anymore. It should be a given that sexual orientation is accepted and understood by all.
I know in the States there's a longer way to go than here, so promote your cause there where it's needed. We're open and accepting ... bar a few who wont change no matter what happens.

Does anyone know why she is a so called celeb? Never heard of her before she entered the house.

Let's turn Michelle's fetish for 'the gays' into 'the straights':

Oh I love me 'my straights' I do.

Oh look, another straight....but boo...he is "not behaving properly".

Oh I love me my straights I do, except for that one...So I will vilify and bully him and make him feel bad every day.

etc etc

She is a joke.

I hadn't thought of that but now you come to mention it there is something of that about her.

I have just read on another thread someone saying they can't work out what her agenda is. Me neither. She says she came into BB to represent the LGBT community and as a voice for people who are under represented and that she wanted to give a voice to misfits etc. These are really laudable aims in general but in this forum?

If she had been entering the Houses of Parliament this sort of agenda would make sense. But this is the house of Big Brother. Does any group particularly NEED representing in such a place. It isn't exactly a forum where life changing decisions are made, resources are shared out, policy and social values are determined, is it?

Since she has been in there how has she used her voice? As far as I can tell she has continued to repeat "I am here to represent/be a voice for" like a mantra but hasn't actually done anything in terms of representation or being a voice. She keeps saying she is representing etc. but hasn't as yet got around to actually doing it. Perhaps she thinks her very presence is advocating for her causes but I am not sure how that helps them.

And besides if there is one show that does tend to give a platform to people who are in some way 'alternative' it is BB. Indeed two people entered the house with Michelle who could be seen as alternative; Alicia and Perez. Alicia seemed to command very little of Michelle's attention. I can't think of an occasion when Michelle supported her particularly. The other is Perez who seemingly is the wrong sort of gay and has set the gay movement back years.

Instead she has aligned herself with a woman whose public persona appears to be the right of centre establishment personified. A woman who apparently thinks criteria such as having red hair is an indicator of misfitting,

I don't get understand her at all. She is articulate, sassy and cool but she just hasn't lived up to her own hype. One wonders if she will ever get past the point of declaring her pet project and actually do something.

Perez, Kav and Alicia would presumably fall under her 'gays and misfits' umbrella.

She bullied the first and last and begrudgingly accepted Kav into a luke-warm show friendship.

Actions speak louder than words. She is a fraud.

Jesus..Honestly. the woman is an advocate for gay rights and then some gays turn on her. They would be the first queens to cry homophobia.

Chalie Hindes likes her

I think fraud is a bit strong because it implies her intentions are dishonest. I think her intentions are sincere but other than acquiring a collection of slogan T shirts hasn't really thought about what it actually means or should mean in terms of doing..

I have no idea why she went into CBB, surely civilian BB would have suited her better, by no stretch of the imagination is she a celeb.

Yeah totally agree

She can refer to me as her gays, not bothered its nice to have someone who is not gay being so out and proud about gay rights etc

besides I didn't know who she was before the series started and I really like her now

I think she just didn't move on with the times, she's stuck in a time where she felt she had a role. She talks about "gays" like some sort uniform mass of poor misfits that needs to be patronised. and refuses to see that people right next to her like Perez and Kavana are also "my gays". Long are the days that the "gay community" needed straight spokespersons to fight for their cause to give it credibility. My boss is gay and just the idea of him needing someone like Michelle to speak in the name of his sexually is too silly for words.

Michelle is what you see you get,..

Turning on Katie H for daring to converse with Perez.

Michelle is two faced sour & not a nice person.

Lastnights highlights show was very telling, When Katie P, Calum, Michelle, We're talking about who might win, She was seething inside at the mention of anyone else winning this show, Have a look at the clip look at her eyes & body language.

The only people Michelle is backing is herself, her husband & children.

I'd never heard of Michelle Visage before, but we don't need an advocate who is too stupid to notice Katie Hopkins' bullying and snobbery, nor one who is married with two children, yet trying to build a career for herself speaking up for the gays. Ms Visage will fade back into well deserved obscurity.
