Gay activities on TV

[R1Geezer]

Why is it necessary to whow it? It can't be vital to the story? OK Sp points out below that there was an "uproar" over a gay bedroom scene. My question is, why must we have it on TV soaps at all. We all know about bandit bedroom activities, why is it vital to show it in TV before the watershed? come to that why are soaps exempt from normal watershed rules anyway?

What ?!?
You were the one who has been single-handedly steering a course for the shore of 'gay=AIDS'...........before you came here with your own special brand of ignorance, the conversation was about EastEnders.

anyone who believes this is as mad as the mad hatter

>> if a man has sex with another straight man, then that straight man must be gay, if a woman has sex with another straight man, then that straight woman must be gay. <<

[jackthehat]

Anything to comment on the EastEnders issue ?

[DTCwordfan]

Where is the teapot, DrF?

undoubtedly for the ignorent aids will hold the connatations of gay men, however, in recent years it is becoming a much more wide spread disease that could affect anyone, gay, straight, bi, likes animals or whatever else you can think of. it's a virus, and therefore will change form accordingly in order to survive.

roxie - this thread started off as a discussion about EastEnders.........please don't let people like joeluke hijack it so it ends up as one of his pet topics...(he has issues !).

[DrFilth]

there is me thinking junkies were the biggest spreaders of the disease lending their needles out.

nobody knows how long aids has been around some predict that it has been around since the 30's

tghe earlist know cases were in 1959 ish

[DTCwordfan]

hear hear Dr Filth, maybe JL is into needles....

[joeluke]

JTH......FYI I didn't hijack the thread

Read back and you'll see that Rov1100 brought up the subject of gays/aids

[roxie_09]
