I’m tackling what is happening in this show right now.
I also agree with the sentiment that if Shane said something hetrophobic there wouldn’t be a backlash, which does kinda bother me.
I’m just tackling what’s in front of me, right now. The implications of what he said are detrimental to the homosexual community. The fact that such views can be excused because of age, despite the fact the individual is fully aware, bothered me. Especially since I’ve experienced things like this in real life. My very religious grandparents don’t accept my sexuality purely because of it. This mentality is alive and well and has probably caused a lot of pain for people all across the world, and it’s now a mentality that is being broadcasted to the nation via someone who is considered a ‘legend’, who has also been an ambassador for anti discrimination in his profession.

You're still missing the point
. Jim Davidson was obnoxious beyond belief yet still won CBB or should he be applauded because he managed to stop himself from using the F word towards gays or N word towards black people??
.
He even made Brian Dowling cried on Hells Kitchen by goading him and referring to gay people as " shirt lifters"
.
Tiffany Pollard had a big following and happily kicked out the ukip guy but her own mother has strong views on homosexuality which you'd be upset by .
So there's some inconsistencies .
John wasn't being malicious ,he gets on with most people in the house.
I'm glad you agree with me though on points I've made,and I sort of see where you're coming from but I think people overreact.
