Schofield has indicated he thinks homophobia has fuelled the coverage of this issue about him.
Which is rubbish in my view.

Yes, some will have prejudice of that nature.
However my guess is the possible concen is just what is the truth about this.

Whether it is men grooming younger girls.
Or women grooming younger boys.
Or anyone gay grooming younger girls or boys.

That's what has turned people to question just what went on here.

Grooming is dangerous, I still cannot see where this MAY yet not be shown to have been the case here.
Plus happening in a professional setting is also unsavoury.
IF that was the case.

Grooming is sick, no matter the scenario or by whom it is done.

When he came out as gay we celebrated his "bravery" and said what an "inspiration" he was so much so that i thought we were gonna mark the event with a public holiday.

Homophobia has played no part in this whatsoever.

The idea is that questioning a relationship between a much older man and a teenage boy is being "homophobic". Which is quite a troubling statement really because it suggests that that's specifically a normal relationship for gay people to have (obviously that is NOT the case).

On the contrary to it being homophobic; I actually think the backlash would be worse if MM was a girl he had met at 10, started "mentoring" at 15 and ****ed at 18. I think there are a lot of people who excuse it because MM is male, and (misogynistically) seen as having more agency/being less likely to have been manipulated by an older influential man.

Just like how teenage boys who are victims of statutory rape by a woman are often branded as "lucky" etc.

Disclaimer: I'm not saying Phillip stat-raped MM

joke, like if Eamonn Holmes had met a minor and then went on to have sex in HIS ITV DRESSING ROOM when they became legal the reaction would be any different..

I'd ignore the Media as they always love to look for prejudice in their headlines nowadays.

I have no doubt that some people will be Homophobic towards Phillip Schofield, but I think (and like to believe) that most people want to get to the bottom of just wtf was going on between the two guys in exact detail.
