Does that help?

Re. your answer, fair enough, if that's your opinion. My own opinion would be that there would be significantly more "noise" and outrage around a straight male....but that's just my opinion. Thanks for finally answering though.

The fact that touching someone's private parts against their consent is sexual assault is not up for debate and I have reported this poster on two occasions because it is simply unacceptable that someone on this forum is actually defending sexual assault; however, as far as I can tell no action has been taken so I would suggest that other posters who agree report the issue as well. Posters have been suspended or banned for far less.

There's no me too or big speeches or agenda at the Oscars when it comes to sexual assaults on men. Can you imagine the outcry if a male RTE celebrity allegedly sexually assaulted a vulnerable female psychiatric patient at a psychiatric hospital while doing a celebrity mental health PR stunt ?

Contrary to erroneous reports on social media, Al Porter was not booked to perform in the bar last night and was in attendance as a regular customer. He appeared briefly on the stage after his name was picked randomly out of a hat in one of the games involving audience participation organised by the entertainment act that had been booked. Our focus continues to be on ensuring that all our guests enjoy a great night out when they visit The George.

So much for so called equality.

The recent front page on a rag, of his "changed ways" shows there's a bit of an open door still.
