That's the thing about fervent evangelists, they don't quite know when to stop talking even when they're given the biggest signals that someone is offended.

Presumably their belief outweighs anyone's offended feelings?

 

 

Well yes, but if you concentrate on the love thy neighbour part of the whole thing then it's better not to upset anyone by saying they need to be fixed in order to gain salvation.

5.47pm: There's a chorus of "Stop in the Name of Love" going on in the bedroom. Evander is telling a story about his bottom

 

I think the van is running on empty.

Writing for PinkNews.co.uk, Richard Smith says the reaction to Evander Holyfield’s homophobic remarks on Celebrity Big Brother shows “the gay public realm has been hijacked by new puritans – bullies, censors, bores.”

Are you watching Celebrity Big Brother?

No, neither am I.

But some gayers have now got their overpriced underpants in a twist cause someone on CBB has said… something bad about The Gays!

Imagine.

BURN THE WITCH!!!

The accused, Evander Holyfield is a boxer, and a man who – let’s face it – neither you nor I had ever heard of before.

Oh, apart from some vague folk-memory about Mike Tyson having bitten a bit of his ear off long long ago.

Anyway, the other day Mr Holyfield said something nutty on Celebrity Big Brother about how he thinks being gay is wrong and that it could – and should – be cured.

As back up, he said it says in the Bible it’s wrong.

Case closed!

The man and his quarter-baked opinions are clearly an antiquated joke.

He’s a born-again idiot.

A bigot.

But instead of laughing this off some gay men have taken great offence.

Even complaining to Ofcom!

There’s probably a pointless online petition somewhere.

‘If you are mildly annoyed click your mouse now – then everything will be okay forever’.

But why?

Because people must not think bad thoughts or say things we don’t agree with?

Newsflash – Celebrity Big Brother is a reality TV show.

People watch it because it might show some vague semblance of reality.

So why be surprised – never mind horrified – when a real person says something that many real people really think?

This faux outrage over the slightest slight – sorry, ‘hate-filled anti-gay slur’ – has become a gay cliche.

Like when another vacuous Hollywood celebrity has said he’s not that keen on gay marriage.

Who cares what he thinks? He’s a vacuous Hollywood celebrity!

Just the other week there was some redneck on something called Duck Dynasty who also said something bad about The Gays?

I bet you never saw his TV show either, did you?

But he must be silenced – the gay thought police say NO! – and so he was suspended by the television station.

Why?

Because some thoughts are unbroadcastable, unsayable, now even unthinkable.

The gay public realm has been hijacked by new puritans – bullies, censors, bores.

Bedwetting pearl-clutching fools, desperate to take offence at anything and everything.

Privileged people painting themselves as victims.

There are so many things that are wrong in this world, why waste time on something as trivial as this?

When our mad right-wing enemies talk about a “gaystapo” – a new McCarthyism – it’s at times like this I increasingly think they may actually have a point.

And I worry our knee-jerk hysterical over-censoriousness is making us look like a joke.

Some people are still bigots – can we get over it, please?

With moves like that it's a wonder that Iron Mike ever managed to catch him and bite his ear 

12.07am: Evander's been telling a story for longer than most of his fights. Dappy and Jim are patiently waiting for a punchline

 

12.22am: Dappy's in the Diary Room, Jim's gone to get ready for bed. Evander hasn't noticed and is still telling his story

Oh dear  

Good job he never used that kind of footwork in the ring 

bless him .

7.54pm: Evander just admitted he still doesn't know who else is up for eviction. It's almost like he's not paying attention 

Gutted that they voted the man out .

 

Sorry he went .....there were several I would rather have seen go before him

Stuff like that ^ is what cracks me up  

 

Ah well, now he's gone I'm changing corners and going over to the dark side 

Knocked out in the first round...   by a bunch of cheats.  

 

Jim for the win, Cos?

Someone told me Evanda said he punched his pregnant horse in the mouth! b*st*rd I couldn't care less if he's famous, anyone who mistreats an animal disgusts me, famous or not!!
