This happens to me every year on BB. Think someone is lush then end up finding them gross. Or think someone is average and end up with a raging crush :laugh:

Because they voted Ann back in until she retired might be a pointer.

Ann gave a valid nomination reason according to BB.

I heard them say they were aroused and they found it funny so why are you questioning their take on it.

Yes Ann did give a reason for her nomination but I for one would question its validity. Interesting how both Emma and Ryland had to make remarks about the possibility of a dodgy nomination?

Sorry, but what has the boys state of 'arousal' got to do with anything? I never raised it in the first place YOU did?!

Geeze, I really had thought the UK had moved on from its homophobic and bigoted past but clearly I am wrong seeing so many are willing to condone it in the 21st century. :conf: :shrug:

I read on here that Ann also voted against gay people being able to have civil partnerships, is this true?

Just..I understand her reason for voting against gay marriage if its really about the meaning of the word marriage (ie between a man and a woman, blahblah) even though I disagree with it, but I cannot think of any reason why she would vote against civil partnerships.

The age of consent thing I think I might possibly agree with her on. Not that gay people should have a different age of consent (though she clarified this was not what she meant) but that she thinks the age of consent for everyone should be raised. So she voted against lowering it as she thinks it should be higher for everyone, totally understand the reasoning for that one.

But civil partnerships, no idea. Can surely only be homophobia as civil partnerships is nothing to do with religion or anything. Thats why I am checking if that was actually true, I didn't realize there was a vote on them to start with tbh.

Ann did indeed vote against Civil Partnerships too and as you say they are Civil Partnerships and not religious marriages.

Indeed, the current Equal Marriages are also only 'Civil' for same sex couples since in England and Wales you cannot legally have a Same Sex Marriage (SSM) in a church. You have to go to the Register Office, as I and my Hubby did, then perhaps have a Church Blessing if you can find a church to do it. The Blessing is not a Marriage.

Thus, Ann's objection to Civil and indeed SSMs has logically to be down personal homophobia rather than any religious objection seeing neither Partnerships nor SSMs take place in a Church.

As for equal age of consent. Yet again Ann voted against equality for the LGBT community. I have no issue with 'equal' age of consent at say 16, 18 or even 21, so long as it's equal. Ann just didn't want to allow Gay people any equality whatsoever?! Make your own mind up as to her motives?

So, now you are saying Anne's Tory constituents were not allowed to cast their votes as they saw fit but had to vote for your agenda?

Sorry, Democracy doesn't, hadn't and didn't work that way.

When did I say Ann's constituents had to vote for 'my agenda'? I wasn't standing nor am I an MP.

I said Ann's constituents voted for her because she was in a 100% SAFE Tory seat. They would have voted for a dog or a cat had the Tories put either up. It frankly wouldn't matter they're largely all Tories in Maidstone and The Weald!

Gosh it must be a crappy reality where u paint the entire world as homophobic and other labels

I think the case that Ann is a homophobe has been eloquently made on this forum and on forums well beyond BB. Just read web sites such as Pink News and you might get a flavour of how Miss Widdy is viewed beyond the confines of the BBH.

Not all batty and eccentric 'old ladies' are necessarily nice!

Finally, I don't pain the whole world as homophobic, where have I said that?

I have luckily lived most my life without bumping into homophobes. Interestingly, I usually only encounter them on Forums such as this.

Your comment was ambiguous, I couldn't understand why you wrote what you did because it seemed so odd.

But I now take your point. All constituencies have at one time favored a certain party, nothing wrong with that.

I name it penisnews tbh as it ignores lesbians completely. Then again so does stonewall and Ruth Hunt. Despite being a lesbian herself. Lesbianism is unacceptable in this day and age apparently.
