@Phillip_Blond tho' many have defended civil partnerships in the Mail; even Jan Moir *claimed* to have done so (http://bit.ly/Nk9G1)

Having read some of Jan Moir´s back articles online, I am no longer convinced that she is homophobic ( well not specifically), from what I can see she seems to have it in for just about every human being on the planet and can happily write the most cynical, negative crap to any brief. Is there any human being on the planet that she likes ???. Just do a google of her articles and you can see her pouring out the same old crap, just change subject, date, name.. etc….xx J

Instead of judging gay marriages – why don’t we start judging sour faced old trouts who can’t get a job at a real paper and have to plump for the Daily mail instead.

I would have been offended but fortunately I would never read the ‘Nazi mail’ as it only serves to justify blaming everyone (except the reader and the paper itself) for the worlds problems.

The reality is most of the worlds problems are caused by people having attitudes in line with the Daily Mail.

Come on gay community – start your revolution and begin tearing those papers from the stands! – it is your destiny.

There is pattern here. When only a few people complain about politicians or self-important journalists, they say that this is only a few isolated malcontents. When hundreds of people complain, they allege that it is a conspiracy and that they are being stalked. But they never admit that they got it wrong.

[...] already, that Moir’s on the record ’support’ for civil partnerships is, at best, desperately shallow and voyeuristic and it takes very little effort at all to discover that she’s plenty of previous form to be [...]

Just a little detail I know but I can’t help noticing that according to Moir it is “interesting” that “more than 14,000″ of the “more than 15,500″ civil partnerships took place in England – the country which, off the top of my head, has roughly 85% of the nation’s population. i.e. not far off what you would expect. I am confident that the Telegraph’s (I suspect) proportionately fewer Scots,Welsh, and NI readers took the proffered reassurance that these things only happen in that perverse country to the south and east.

Good post. Thanks. I was wondering about this, but found i was too swamped in pieces about the current commentary to dig out her supposed on the record advocacy of civil partnerships.

—
A consistent theme seems to be that she does wish those who are gay wouldn’t flaunt it in our faces ….

Take this attack on BBC Saturday night entertainment (headline “Norton’s sausage jokes …”) and the theme of “Today, they just seem to throw any kind of cheap, camp trash at the wall and hope that something sticks”.

“Like Norton, who presents myriad shows for them, Barrowman runs amok at the BBC. He’s in Torchwood, he’s on all the chat shows, he even made a documentary about coming out as a homosexual.

In last year’s The Making Of Me, he tried to find out if he had any gay ancestors. Who, in the name of Christmas campery, even cares?

Why is the corporation obsessed with these men and their sexual leanings?”

[10] ‘Still if impotent fuming is what floats your boat, you sail right on’

It’s a bit more than that though, isn’t it?

Sponsors withdrawing ads.
Moir receiving a virtual spanking.
And I dare say the aftermath of her shitty article will follow her around for a while yet, certainly her paranoid retraction did little to help her, err, ‘reputation’.

A small victory for the ‘liberals’, perhaps? – but still rather satisfying, nonetheless.
