Should Gay People Be Subjected To This Kind Of Questioning?

[sp1814]

Is this worse than the PC re-write of 'Dad' to 'Partner'?

Should gay people accept that their sexual orientation makes them fair game for this? Or is this another example of 'PC gone mad'?

[Peaspeculiars]

That is disgraceful! They should be damned well ashamed of themselves for abusing their 'power' as an official.

What a strange story.

The guys have been married for 12/13 years and have two kids. They may or may not have had relationships with women before that but I would have considered that to be totally irrelevant in this situation.

I don't know what questions should be asked but there is no logical reason to discuss their sexual preferences.

Is it just me or is the world going nuts?

No-one should, but the person's been suspended, so everything's ok. It'd only be a problem if it happened routinely, or if the man complained and nothing was done.
