Why is Ann clearly getting away with being Homophobic!!
 

After Ann's comments tonight and several other times ie two men rolling around on the floor being disgusting, how is she so popular and seems to be getting away with being clearly HOMOPHOBIC!!!!

She just doesn't like PDAs with either gays or straights.

Why do gays feel that everyone should be getting a sweat on about the fact 2 guys try to shag each other

To be fair, Shandrew has made me homophobic

Oh not this old chestnut AGAIN :joker::joker:

:joker:

Gays should be more pissed out with the fact Andrew is abusing his trust in someone gay for extra fame

She would have said exactly the same had it been Ginuwine and Ashley.
More prudish than homophobic.

I don't think she's homophobic...

She's against gay marriage but her reasons are to do with the definition of marriage and she's said SEVERAL times that what people do in their own private space is their business.

She's cringed at STRAIGHT affection in the house.

She's cringed at GAY affection in the house.

Stop throwing the word 'homophobe' around because you make the whole community look like snowflake brats. We aren't all born with a pole up our arse like you.

Ann is just a woman with views. She doesn't try to impose them on anyone else.

Now find something genuine to complain about.

She is not homophobic.

Andrew is straight she must be at least 50 per cent heterophobic

^^

She's a prude, nothing to do with sexuality

:clap1::clap1::clap1:Brilliant

I mean people get away with stuff like this all the time on BB. Remember when Katie Hopkins became the viewers favourite? :bored:

The majority of us are. Most people calling Ann homophobic aren't even LGBT, because we know real homophobia and Ann doesn't show a grain of it.

This tbh

I think the real hurt in the house is Andrew stringing along a gay guy, Shane J (nor Amanda or Wayne, lgbt+ housemates) has never had an issue with Ann's views

Are you saying gays are snowflakes?

:clap1:

It's a good thing BB never have housemates playing Twister if she thinks that lewd behavior.
Yes she demonstrated her homophobia tonight,her nom was daft.

Yet she rightly earlier in the series pulled Malika up for a daft nom.

The voice of reason:nono::nono:

Absolutely! Amanda's nomination of Shane tonight summed it up perfectly.

I remember my nan taking issue over the length of my skirt and telling me it was disgusting! I just pulled it down a bit and let her have her rant about my mother letting me leave the house dressed like that. My nan was a different generation and she had a very hard life, was widowed very young.

Ann is just older and a bit of a prude. I think all the homophobia threads are a bit hysterical.

Well i am a gay man, and feel the Ann's is quite clearly Homophobic and anyone following how she has vote of the years in the commons on subjects like Clause 28 will know!

Oh im sorry i forgot you speak for every member of the LGBT community on the planet

Maybe you've just lived a sheltered life? :shrug: I am pretty certain there are people much more hateful than Ann.

That's sadly true.
Had Ann had her way lgbt rights would never have improved.

Exactly and theres no law that says she has to lie it either

There's always someone worse in every aspect of life but that doesn't exempt someone from being a homophobe just because their hatred isn't as bad as the worst possible example.

We haven't exactly got the most lovable and exciting bunch of HMs in there just now so sometimes you are able to overlook someone's views if they are a good enough HM and also don't make a big deal about their views in the house

Ann's biggest issue has been bad language and people being crude - the only time she's ever brought up like woman's rights or LGBT issues is when they were asked if her and her to explain, and at the time she got a lot of hate and criticism for it
But people like Andrew constantly hating on her whilst she's talking good of him make her seem like a better person / and to people like I say, don't hate, educate

Never said i speaking for everyone , i clearly said i feel she is Homophobic. I am not saying i dislike her but feel she is being let off for her comments because of her age.

I think its pretty clear from watching Ann that she isn't homophobic. The issue she has with LGBT rights are about her religious beliefs but I don't see anyone calling the pope a homophobe. :shrug:

I Do agree that she is homophobic but if she provides good TV then I'll want her to stay in - am I going to vote for her or want her to win? No but the show would die without her

Cardi B defended her homophobic man, does that mean I'm gonna stop listening to Bodak Yellow everyday? No!

Gay man here. Read up on her voting history before she went in. She never heavily campaigned against anything LGBT so I never put it down to anything but a generational educational gap.

Nothing in Ann screams hatred towards LGBT, she has calm and collected talks with Shane J in the house about these issues, something that a real homophobe would never do.

As someone who's dealt with real homophobia, I worry that your sheltered voice of 'anyone who disagrees with us is a homophobe and should have no friends' is a lot more harmful than a 70 year old lady that has never raised her voice once in the house.

You can't just assume that because we have more rights and representation now, that everyone has to fall in line. People are allowed to disagree with homosexuality in the same way that people are allowed to disagree with pineapple on pizza.

Ann lived the majority of her life in a world that oppressed gay people, in a world where LGBT had no rights. It's only natural that the change we've seen over the past few decades is going to come across as strange to somebody like that.

Instead of labelling people as 'hateful' and 'homophobic' and scaring people off voicing their opinions, focus on educating people who are living in the past.

It makes a mockery of ANY community when that community starts disregarding every single person that disagrees with them.

Do you think we got to where we are today by screaming 'HOMOPHOBE' at everyone who cringes at two guys making out?

No, we got to where we are today through debates, through the votes that Ann took part in, through discussion and most importantly through education.

Let the old lady eat her biccies in peace.

:nono:

No,IF she was saying anything wrong BB would warn her and they haven't so people need to chill, She doesn't like swearing,sexual talk and Pda,s her choice but not hateful as Andrew is.

Hurray for common sense, enlightenment and intelligence.

Great Post :worship::worship:

Well said. Ann is stuck in a time warp like many people of her age. However she expresses her opinion but the fact that she says what people do in private is up to them. I admire her honesty.

:clap1: Great post.

I'm not talking about Ann really, I just didn't agree with the logic of someone not being considered a homophobe just because 'there are worse people out there'. Hate is hate.

but two men kissing or marrying is just not some people's cup of tea, just as some gay people think that a straight couple kissing or marrying is just not appealing, now throwing a card at ann is just not fair, does she say that gays should be killed no, because years ago derick and kemal tried to throw that card on science and they looked like fools in the end, and science did say that you can do what you like when kemal said that two men kissing and holding hands, ann is comfortable with gay people but there are things that they do that just don't appeal to her as mush as what some of the young ones say in there, and ann had a reason for voting shane because they where doing the samething over and over again, and being stuck in that house 24/7 it can get boring.
