It's natural that people who don't want to be told how they must think and feel to say 'enough's enough', stop with the overkill. It's not that they disagree, they just don't want to hear it for the 1000th time. The first 100 was enough.
A good example of that is Shane J and his first week in the house. He was talking about lgbt issues and most everyone here was interested and supportive of him. Then he started going on and on about it and trying to get Wayne and Amanda to confront Ann about her opinions. He was talking a lot behind her back and saying how a 14 yr old watching could be badly affected because of her views - that's pretty low really imo.
How about a 14 yr old boy picking up how to objectify women by his great mate Andrew?
It's hypocritical and it's overdone. Lgbt people don't need loud mouths droning on and on, that isn't going to help with very real issues and only turns people off listening. Imo we need to get much needed perspective and common sense back - and not just on Lgbt issues either.

I disagree. The topic of lgbt is relevant in this series of big brother more so than any other. 2 of the finalists are lgbt, and a third has voted against their rights in parliament, of course it will be discussed by those that want to discuss it. The main issue is that some others, who dont want to discuss it will go in to each thread anyway, and be angry about it throughout. Its the same 5 or 6 people, and it is sad, it doesnt come across as 'tired of PCness', it comes across as 'agitated at the focus'. Opening threads is not compulsory, so their excuses are weak.
