Like a pod of Killer Whales with a seal pup, he will be tossed around (look, I've warned you about that sniggering at the back) until the next celebrity death.

I have nothing against them but I hate the hypocrisy... very proud of being Irish (thats cool) but also likes to jump into the being ( British / part of the UK ) chair... and as we know Ireland isn't part of the UK! It is a shame when anyone dies, famous or not, straight or gay, whatever race or nationality etc. but what annoys me is him being hailed as a national hero and like I said, he was Irish... not English or British. It is up to the individual to who their idols and heroes are but come on I think I have a point... I agree if he wasn't gay then it wouldn't be such big news. The band he was in isn't as big as it used to be - I wouldnt say he was specifically current and was pretty much out of the limelight - people forgotten about who he was. Most fans were listening to very old music from a decade or so ago. Surely a way of selling papers in the credit crunch? No offense but isn’t he Irish?

During that time I came across (stop sniggering at the back) lots of articles vilifying Jan Moir. The main argument seems to revolve around the words "natural" and "unnatural". This in my opinion is the crux of the matter. If two people, regardless of their sexual preferences decide to live together and then cement that relationship with a civil ceremony, then that is their right. That the gay community promote it is fine and dandy as well. The problem arises, as in Ms Moir's article, when sex is talked about. I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of heterosexuals consider gay sex as being unnatural. It is the sex act itself that the gay community struggle to make acceptable. Whatever two consenting or even three adults get up to is their own business, however in this case it can hardly be called natural. Perhaps Stephen Fry and his co complainers are more concerned with keeping their nice cosy sensitive image as opposed to the hedonistic alternative reported by Ms Moir. I am not for one moment suggesting that all gay couples behave in this manner, merely that drawing attention to the sex itself, is what landed Ms Moir in trouble.
