full on rant!

Anyone been watching channel 4’s gay season?

A Very British Sex Scandal was very good, but then, oh dear, last nights Clapham Junction

What a load of stereotypical tosh that was! I HATE those sort of dramas that reinforce every stereo type on the planet.

One gay wedding - one of the grooms chats up waiter and tries to bed him while snorting coke.

Repressed postman - goes out on scene and ends up gay bashing

Typical arty type - cottaging

repressed husband - more cottaging

14 year old school boy - fancies much older man

much older man - a convicted pedophile.

Please! Just stop! This sort of tripe angers me. Not once was there your average bloke who just happens to be gay. I know this does still happen but not like they depict it. Am I in the minority here? I have never cottaged, snorted coke, bedded anyone under age or slept with anyone else while in a relationship.

Most of us lead normal lives, but just prefer sex with other people of the same sex. I am not a pervert, drug addict, pedophile or a player. Nor for that matter do I try to bed straight men, mince, have a limp wrist or talk like Jon Inman! FFS!

Why can’t they ever just do a play about normal gay men who aren’t stereo types???????
