  5. Good result for Stephen to come out on top! A splendid person to win – amusing and passionate man!

    Some interesting choices in the top 50, many of whom were worthy of the accolade!

  9. I recall Stephen Fry once said marriage equality wasn’t important -

    http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-12095.html

    Has he changed his mind since 2009?

    1. Just because he may not agree with many of us on one issue – does not mean he is a poor ambassador ..

      We have to learn to understand that whilst there is a clear goal of what we seek in terms of rights – that not everyone who is LGBT will necessarily agree with each and every part of the goal …

      1. I merely asked a question. Thank you for your reply which indicates that you believe he hasn’t changed his mind. Please let me know if I’m mistaken.

        1. I do not know whether or not he has “changed his mind” ….

          I remain convinced (whether Fry feels marriage equality is or is not important) that he is a strong and passionate ambassador for LGBT people.,..

          For the record, I passionately support equal marriage and if Stephen does not support it then I disagree with his stance – but nonetheless that does not stop me from recognising the significant efforts he makes and achieves as an ambassador of LGBT people …

          1. Fry is a misogynist, and has shown significant cowardice on more than one occasion. The fact that, in some circles, he’s thought of as a “national treasure” may be regarded as a plus point.

            In respect of LGBT people, I suggest that equality is one of the most important issues.

  10. A thoroughly decent chap. Bravo Stephen. :)

  12. Congratulations Stephen!

    By the way, Lady Gaga is not LGBT – using gays for self-promotion and getting good publicity doesn’t make her LGBT.

    1. Lady Gaga is LGBT. According to Wikipedia Lady Gaga told Rolling Stone magazine that she is bisexual. Also I remember her talking about her relationships to Perez Hilton in a recent documentary on ITV2
