Indeed. Disappointing, Simon. Would you win a fight with Gareth Thomas, do you think? Do you think people like him should be "suitably ashamed" of their "mental illness" and not "inflict it on the rest of us" by coming out? Does it matter to you that the scientific consensus is that homosexuality is not in fact a mental illness?

Even Chapman manages to display (or at least fake) an enlightened attitude towards homosexuality. That should tell you that even the most intolerant among us don't necessarily have a problem with gay people these days, even when they're religious. I'm hoping that you wrote "poofy" without really meaning to be homophobic, somewhat similar to how people say "wanker" without meaning that masturbation is wrong.
