Thoughts on John Barnes following last night?
 

What do you think of him now?

Poll incoming!

When the only screentime u get the whole season is homophobic :hehe::hehe::bawling:

His opinion. He must answer to it. :)

Queen Blaire

he can just have his own opinion

For someone who speaks out about racism is n football...his remarks were uncalled for.
He is a prat....and it was only a matter of time before he dropped a bombshell. I

idk I didnt see it but hes boring af EJECT HA

Tragique

Trap Kween

I want him to be evicted to loud boos

He's been boring up til now and I wish he'd gone on Friday rather than Rachel. After last night, I dislike him and just want rid of him.

He’s allowed his opinion.
Atleast he opened up a conversation.Always good to try and break down barriers between the straights and the gays.
Shane J was mature about it and Barnsey explained himself well.

what happened?

At least Winston McKenzie had funny moments to his ignorance and repeated slandering over it. This prick, not so much

i was just thinking about Winston yesterday he was a scream :joker::joker:

Why do people keep saying he’s allowed his opinion btw. That’s not what’s being debated everyone is allowed to think as they wish ofc it’s not like they will drop dead by some divine everytime they say smth controversial, it’s the implications and intricacies of what he said that are being tackled here. It’s a mindset that a community of people that were oppressed for the longest time have been fighting to abolish for years, and the fact that there are powerful and influential people who still hold these mindsets is really a detriment to this community and it’s work for freedom

It’s not as black and white as ‘free speech duh huh’ open ur mind pplz

He said if Andrew got with Courtney/Shane J in a romance way then he would be 'out of his club' and couldn't meet up with him for drinks on the outside like promised.

I think his explanation was pretty lousy, just saying that's how he thinks even though he knows it's wrong basically saying he's comfortable having a homophobic attitude and has no interest in changing that. I was quite liking him but that will have done him a lot of damage

I don't think I'd call him homophobic based on what I saw of that conversation though he very well might be. I'd say he was being fairly honest about straight men feeling insecure about gay men which is a fact, some do.

Does feeling uncertain about something different make you against it or opposed to it? I don't know if its as simple as that.

Nicky CANCELLED

I didn't hear him say that part. :shrug: I just heard him explaining something about being uncomfortable with the idea a man might fancy him personally.

That was afterwards when Shane confronted him. Before that he said Andrew would be out the club and he'd cancel the meet up that they had planned

Oh I didn't see that bit. In that case I think he was very wrong. What Andrew and Shane J do sexually or romantically is none of his business and it shouldn't have any bearing on being part of a friendly social occasion with them.

This is true, Ann has her opinions, Jonny has his opinions, Amanda has her opinions.... etc.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions
