it really annoys me that nicky is hated for being sexist when she isnt (she 'the real nicky' thread), yet nobody bats an eyelid when liam shows signs of being homophobic.

as long as people keep bringing up the 'nicky is sexist' debate, then i will be bringing up the 'liam is homphobic' debate, its not fair on nicky!

it's because nicky is boring to watch and is miserable most of the time, but liam is good to watch, likes to have fun messes around with the twins a lot!

i dont think he homophobic though!

Will you give up saying Liam is homophobic, your claims are unfounded.
He didn't include Gerry in the drinking thing because Gerry doesn't drink much/any alcohol.

Nicky has outright said that she dislikes men, when has Liam said anything of the sort?

Liam homophobic, this subject is becoming a joke now,just because he asked a question,he did not at any point direct any offensive remark towards gerry or gay people,if you dont ask questions you dont learn.

I don't think Liam is homophobic at all. Not based on anything we've seen so far on the show, that is. Last night, he was sitting with Gerry on the live feed, and they both seemed perfectly content in each other's company. I must admit that when Liam was asking Gerry if the 'Q' word was offensive or not, I felt a tad uncomfortable. But it seemed clumsy if anything, rather than malicious.

Liam homophobic? Rubbish! He gets on well with gerry. He only asked a question! jeez, are we going to get so pc here that nobody can ever ask anyone questions anymore without being labelled something?

I do believe nicky to be sexist however from certain comments she has said because they are not questions and she tends to generalise all men which really annoys me. She isn't massively sexist but there's certainly an element of sexism about her, going on the things she has said.

He wasn't sure about something so he asked Gerry if it was offensive and was told it was and he seemed satisfied with the answer.

I think Nicky should be given in to trouble over her sexist coments.

Did I suggest otherwise? I said he went about it in a clumsy way, which he did. End of story.

I've said this before why is it okay for Nicky to say all men are Ba******?

What would happen if you said it about gay or some ethnic subgroup of people?

So why does Nicky get away with doing this?

I noticed her blaming Ziggy about his and Chanelle's relationship and how it was up to Chanelle what happened with it, surely it is up to them both what happens.
