It's a ridiculous question, Liam obviously wouldn't condone it, gay men are attracted to other men, not children or teens. If you assume someone has been committing crimes against a minor when you find out they or gay or even find anything to relate abuse to being gay then I think you'd be the one with the problem.

...you’re not ‘debating the truth’ though when you’ve already referred to a tweet on social media as the ‘real story’...you’re assuming there’s a ‘front page story’ to be had by saying that his assistant needs his own front page...

Let's wait and see what comes out before we start calling and accusing each other, shall we?

It was a day he doesn't work because he was the one being interviewed. :joker: That means nothing. Also, of course the news would report quickly on something they probably were tipped off about when Phil informed the company about the situation.

If the subject of the affair was underage then it would be heinous and deserve all the attention, scrutiny and condemnation in the world, however, there’s not even any evidence of an affair in the first place, even less evidence of the person being underage and throwing around these accusations because somebody has just come out as gay, is abhorrent and objectively prejudice.

Let's wait and see what comes out before we start name-calling and accusing Phillip Schofield, shall we?

...even if it were all true, it wouldn’t change some undercurrents of prejudice and concerning stereotyping...

Where has this happened?

Those who accused Harvey Weinstein before he'd even gone to trial, are they hetrophobes?

Or do you just make the rules up to suit?

"Undercurrents." A word used when you can't find the truth you want to hear.

It's a bit different if someone has accusers and if they hang out with other abusers

It's always a bit different.

You're not making yourself appear to be someone who anyone should listen to if you are talking about paedophiles in a thread about a gay man who has never been accused of doing anything wrong to anyone under age. It's different. Paedophilia is a crime. Being gay is a sexuality, not a crime.

...’undercurrents’...a word used when it’s appropriate to do so...

You're the only one talking about paedophiles, I haven't mentioned them.

So who mentioned Harvey Weinstein? Are you okay? Has anyone checked on you recently?

What has Weinstein got to do with paedophilia?

He was accused of raping a teenager

Basically ammi he was a coward and put his needs before his wife’s now 27 years later he throws his wife under the bus.

For once can you not stand on the right side instead of constantly sitting in the middle.

Well of course we don't. I've never met him, I don't know about you.

I have no ill feeling towards Phil and couldn’t care less about the fact he is gay.

But he is not this great person with the courage to come out.

Cowardly man that has been lying for 27 years to a person that has given her life to him.

...I’m not ‘in the middle’, Sheriff...and if you feel that I constantly sit in the middle then you don’t really listen to my thoughts on many subjects...In my life I’m so familiar with ‘half stories’ and specific ‘truths’ from playground gossip, type situations...and atm we don’t know if there is indeed a ‘right side’ or a ‘wrong side’...I’m very much aware how difficult this must be for both of them atm..

Question
Answer

Man comes out as gay = immediately accused of taking advantage of underage boys

Man accused of rape after several women come forward to report rape, harrassment and abuse.

Yes, exactly the same Alf.

So I ask, where have I mentioned it?

Asking Liam an hypothetical question is what I did. Why do you constantly take things out of context?
