wonder if i'd have any more luck on a nick griffin fansite suggesting he's racist?

Probably not (if he has one, which I seriously doubt, though I haven't searched), seeing as it is just that: a fan site.

This is getting tiresome now.

I didn't hear that show that transcript is from but it sounds pretty bad. Maybe he is homophobic ?

[scarrott]

When he said all that it was very much tongue in cheek. It was a deliberate dig at stonewall.

[maximus]

this is a transcript from his show this month


"I don’t think there are enough fit looking lesbians on television copping off with each other. I’m going to have a report commissioned by my male heterosexual friends, and I think we’ll all agree that there aren’t enough sexy lesbian women on the television. I watched TV yesterday for several hours and I didn’t see any hot lezzas, and I think this is an outrage – and this was across many channels… in the end I had to watch a video to see some kind of action.

Yeah, I’m homophobic I don’t like the gays, sorry. It just does my head in. We have a token gay on the show! If that doesn’t get me any credit, I don’t know what will. I’m always trying to get Rachel and Carrie to lezz off with each other, but they won’t have it. That’s not me – that’s them…. I’ve asked Carrie to be bi, but she point blankly refuses because she says she’s straight. Now personally I think that’s slightly homophobic…

Our executive producer Reece has had a minor homosexual experience [much laughter]… Our old executive producer, he’s a gay – granted, he doesn’t work for us anymore – too busy looking out of the window at boys and putting make up on… "

Yeah he mean't every word. You are an arse.

Reading a transcript is completely different to hearing him say it with the sarcasm in his voice. Anyone that actually takes what he says literally and throws a paddy shouldn't be allowed in society. Go wrap yourself up in cotton wool and sit in a silent room.

If anything, his 'homophobic' comments are taking the piss out of people that are homophobic, not people that are gay. I would have thought that was blatantly obvious... but apparently not.

This thread is too serious for this place.

[Sidders]

Well tell a joke then!

[Adam]

As a gay/bi guy whatever I am - I personally think people look far too deep into the show - people take it far too seriously and to be honest, so what if he says what he says.

If you feel the show is being homophobic in some way, then contact the bbc - coming on to here and moaning about it isnt going to change anything.

The show has an gay person working on the show, dont you think it would cause offence to them? I'm guessing they are good friends too. I'm also pretty certain that Chris has friends in his inner circle that are gay - he's making light of a sitution or whatever he's up too.

Come on guys - there are other aspects of the show that we are discuss rather than picking holes at what Chris is saying. Whatever Chris is saying, i'm sure he's saying with a tounge in cheek, its all for the show and im sure he means no harm.

[Gigglyboots]

Good speech.

I'm also pretty certain that Chris has friends in his inner circle that are gay

Gooood mornin'!

[donnie]

he's a practicing catholic so is obviously homophobic!

Please give this argument a rest, it's so dull. I see no strong evidence in the case

Aled - Is Chris scared of Gay people?

No. Not at all. If I was to give Chris any advice in the whole Chris is homophobic argument it would be that he's the complete opposite - very comfortable around gay people. He hugs and pretends to snog me in front of people just to freak them out - he's entirely cool. The problem is, that doesn't fit into the image people have of Chris, and in much the same way as if you're close friends with someone you can say "oh you're looking a bit rough" or "putting on the pounds there love" and you can laugh it off, he feels he can take the piss out of me and other gay guys as he's so friendly with us.

Other people don't get it and assume he's being homophobic and Chris genuinely gets puts out when people say that to him. And to be honest I don't want to stop him. I don't want my sexuality to be in the same PC "Handle-with-care" box as religion or race etc. I'd like my own sexuality to be as comfortable as possible on breakfast radio that's broadcast to 8 million radios every morning, if Rachel went out with a minger (she doesn't btw) then he'd take the piss, if my boyfriend did something he didn't like I'd like to feel he could laugh about it on air like he would with any straight person's partner.

To me, it's just as homophobic to sweep the subject under the carpet and push it off mainstream radio just because he might say a bad line occasionally!
