    He really should learn to keep his mouth shut. Every time he opens it, he just adds more proof to how incredibly stupid he is.

    Completely screwed up. This is what religion does to you obviously.

    I have to agree with what he says about weddings though. I am pro gay marriage but anti weddings.

    Weddings have become a bit more about disneyland and less about a serious commitment.

    I think he should keep talking – him, Larkky Kramer, only a few willing to break througgh the great rainbow curtain and talk about real issues from a real angle. Fact: most of teh queers I know are sex addicts, running about looking to get laid, then spending Sunday mornings lathering up in self pity and pining for a long lost relationship. Not to mention that the AIDS/HIV rates are back to 1982 levels… Talk hard!

      I feel like I must be doing this whole gay thing wrong. My social circle tends to spend its Sunday mornings sleeping happily, then the afternoons drinking tea and playing video games. I didn’t realise we were supposed to be getting laid and piling on the angst. I’ll be sure to correct that this coming Sunday. Maybe we’ll have a post-angst orgy to feel better after the emotional drain.

    Yes, much better to be in an RC boarding school where you are taught to loathe yourself -or to be the accidental offspring of two illiterate, drunken heteros who raise you in the gutter.
    Glad the choice is so clear for you. I know what I would choose.

        Bobbi, if you are talking about teenage girls having to act as chief carers to younger siblings in homes where the family has broken down, then you are quite right. Something does need to be done for such youngsters.

        But if you are suggesting that same sex families might be unsafe places for children because they would be sexually abused, that is a total falacy.

    The Times must be rather desperate to even consider Everett. What could he possibly have of interest to readers other than give homophobes yet another stereotype, as if all gay people are like him. I suspect his religion really did a hatchet job on his brain, damaged goods for sure. I wish he would just shut up and go away, nobody gives a damn. He’s just a bitter, self-serving has-been whose acting career never amounted to anything because of his big mouth which cost him roles, right or wrong.

        Yes indeed, I don’t like him. He’s one of the most negative people out there and an extremely bad example to set. He needs long-term therapy to get over the anger issues and conflicts in his pathetic life. He needs to grow up and start taking some personal responsibility for his actions instead of playing the blame game.

    Humans enjoy sex. Why should you be labelled a sl*t if you enjoy it a LOT. Thinking he’s a sl*t is clearly the catholic in him talking. We need to shake off these old ridiculous victorian era stereotypes and think towards a less judgmental future. Every time he opens his mouth I’m forced to do a facepalm.

      Enjoying sex is not the same thing as being a slut, I don’t know why some people can’t grasp this. And I notice these same people really have a chip on their shoulder about “Victorian morality”, as if it was ever really any different before then, or as if anyone who’s not as obsessed with sex as they are is some kind of prude. The reality is, sluts have been shamed in all civilised societies since time began. It’s not something the Victorians invented.

  14. In the Times, Rupert? No opportunity for you to exhibit your self loathing in the Daily Heil? Or perhaps you feel that the high brow readers of the Times are more the target audience for whatever mediocre board treading exercise in which you’re currently involved? He really is a sad character to seems to want to appear interesting and always, always comes across as the opposite.

    And I was a slut because I was single and and horny. Who cares? Now ask how many actual satisfactory sexual contacts anyone has had, and the number will drop considerably!

    On another note, I can comment on Rupert’s frustration. To be a gay actor, you have to first be seen as a str8 man in order to be taken seriously for most roles by any casting director, even if the role is a gay character. Our voices are being stamped out in all but the fringe theatre groups, all for the sake of marketing. To play str8 at all times for the sake of getting a job is most schizophrenic, and in the age of equal rights, most frustrating.

      Come on he is an actor, having spent most of my working life with such people most of them start every sentence with ‘I’. . . I this I that. Utterly self absorbed, the only time they make any real sense is when they are speaking lines someone else has written. Age and the loss of looks tend to send them barking mad, the Catholic Church wrecks everyone it has touched. . . nothing new there.

    Prominent people from other minority groups famous for other things don’t become spokespeople for those minority groups; it’s a pity that Rupert allows himself, or decides, to be presented as a spokesperson for the LGBT community. He clearly has issues with his past, not least the Catholicism he encountered at Ampleforth, and I’ve no problem with him sharing his experiences and anxieties. I do find it less acceptable when he starts to pass share his opinions on the LGBT community and this judgement is the passed off as well-informed and representative of commonly held opinions in the LGBT community.

    He may dislike “marriage” and not wish to be a “gay dad”. He’s perfectly entitled to these opinions. However, he has said his career has been blighted to some degree by coming out. I would hope he would therefore think more carefully about sharing opinions in the Press which could be used to limit the opportunities of others in the LGBT community with different hopes than him.

      I was at college with a novice monk from Ampleforth. He was straight, and had been persuaded to become a monk, I sensed somewhat reluctantly. Why he chose a college which for historical reasons (it was formerly an all-female establishment) was overwhelmingly female in its intake is beyond me, but suffice to say, by the time he left, he was no longer a monk!
      He swore, smoked, and had issues about sex, clearly damaged emotionally. He could not cope with the fact that girls confided in him about intimate subjects, and trusted him, because he was “untouchable” sexually. Like putting a man on a strict diet in charge of a Gregg’s!

Sure, not being religious, I wouldn’t marry in church – but others want to. Why shouldn’t they? And most weddings are secular affairs in any case

    He was a ‘slut’ because he was a ‘slut’ – trying to divert responsibility onto a Church, even one as disfunctional as the Roman Catholic cult is beyond moronic. I agree with other commenters here – he is an incredibly stupid man. Personally I have always found him to be very unpleasant, too, and I always avoid watching anything he appears in. Whatever his personal demons are I really don’t want to know about them.

    It’s to bad Mrr Everett feels that way about gay parents because kids don’t care what gender you are they jsut need to know that they are safe and loved. As for the church when forced into the dark, the dark side of our nature is let out to grow. when we are accepted and live in the light we can draw from a more positive community and live a positive live style.
