Comments on: DJ files legal action over gay orgy claims http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-700.html/ PinkNews.co.uk Gay News (UK and world) from Pink News - all the gay news for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community in the UK and beyond- thegaynews from Pink News Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:13:03 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Avion http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-700.html/comment-page-1/#comment-30883 Avion Thu, 22 May 2008 13:15:03 +0000 http://www.pinknews.co.uk/news/articles/2005-700.html#comment-30883 To be honest what two, three or four consenting adults get up to in their private lives is no ones business. People need to be judged by what they contribute to the world, not how their sexual exploitations would affect others. If people spent more time minding there our business they would not be bothered by this. My advise to Stepz is you know who your true friends are at a time like this. As a hetro female dodging the brothers on a down low, I feel that it is better to accept who you are and live your life. Even if the rumours are true it does not take away from Steptz his talent and glory as a DJ. I heard the negative reaction of many DJ's when this hit the press and those same DJ's smile in your face. Ask yourself how many people would have enjoyed what alledgely happened? If I were Steptz I would brush the dirt off my shoulder and forget about it because believe me they will be talking about someone else next week, month, year. In 5 years your career will still be in tact and there will be another DJ in the hot seat. Believe me I know at least 2 that have tried the expereince. Life is too short to care what anyone thinks. Enjoy. P.s We still listen to and support Steptz in 2008! To be honest what two, three or four consenting adults get up to in their private lives is no ones business.

Ones sexuality is completely private and if two footballers are gay and have consentual sex with each other and/or other people. So what? The Sun and the NOW who claim to be the vanguards of the nation's morality have continually spearheaded campaigns of homophobia, xenophobia and racism. About time these cretins are brought to book. A healthy financial penalty + costs would do the trick. And about time public stopped participating in this filth. These papers are the biggest selling written in English yet they pander to the lowest common denominator.

Also it may not necessarily be in the public interest, but it is of interest to the public. Don't forget that most public figures expose their sexual orientation by getting married, wearing wedding rings, being seen on the town with opposite sex partners etc. (Oh and then there's Elton John and David Furnish of course)Comments that it must be hard having rumours spread by papers about unfaithfulness / same-sex sexual activity is hard on the people - yes I am sure it is, but these people also use the media to become celebrities and gain wealth through advertising contracts and personal ego boost via public adoration. Take the rough with the smooth. And I am sure Ashley Cole has plenty of cash to hire a good lawyer to take these papers to court.Lastly - Ashley Cole, wouldn't you?

Surely the fact is that there is no evidence at all that these people are gay. Just like the Sol Campbell rumours these are nasty vindictive rumours to sell papers, or by opposition fans following a hate campaign. If you are trying to maintain a loving friendship with your female partner it is very unkind to have people from newspapers suggesting that you have been unfaithful, let alone with someone of a different sex as your partner. This is malicious liable, and it is different to accuse someone of being unfaithful, as to suggesting they are gay. One is regarding a decision you might have made, and the other about who you really are. Sorry but arent people missing the point?

I'll reprint it correctly here. Hopefully the moderator will delete the screwed up version.I think Pinknews' comments on the footballers’ rights to privacy are hypocritical for at least two reasons: 1) When the gory details of straight players' sexual exploits and skirt chasing are printed ad nauseam there is not a peep of complaint about privacy rights for public figures, and 2) How hypocritical to bitch about the News of the World's coverage of the story by reprinting practically the whole story here. If it's such an invasion of their privacy and it is so offensive to you then why reprint it? I'll tell you why. It's because officially you want to look self-righteous and politically correct but down deep inside you’re loving every minute of it. Tell me that no one at Pinknews has discussed whom these players and pop artist might be. Tell me that no one there has fantasized about, wondered aloud about and discussed the possible sexual acts and scenarios that were involved. Tell me that none of this has happened and I'll call you a liar. Frankly, I'm more offended by the self-righteousness and hypocrisy of Pinknews than I am about tabloids doing what tabloids have ALWAYS done! If we really want to be treated equally then we can't whine when we get the same treatment as straights in the tabloids. It was a racy story about a sex orgy involving sports superstars and a star in the music industry. You're really shocked that a tabloid would seize on that? If there had been women involved no one, including you, would have said a word. In the long run equal exposure is a good thing. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, my comment somehow got scrambled.
