    Why would any woman go near you with a creepy attitude like that?

    Either women dig creepy or else it's not creepy.... I'm going to choose the logical second option.

    I said on the main RoT thread it wouldn't be a bad thing for the competition if the winner was a lesbian. We'll see how it plays out

    Been common knowledge for quite a while if you are from around or near her local area.

    I never said I agreed with their 'values'. Only recently could you enter if you had a child!

    You're... still convincing yourself that a lesbian you've never met will fancy you and want to have sex with you though. Bittttt of a leap.

    It's a f*cking sad depiction of our backwards country that this thread even exists.

    Jesus, she likes girls, not boys. Why does it matter a crap to anyone, except her partner(s).

    You don't like homosexuality? You think it's wrong? Guess what, I have some great news for you - unless you want to, you never have to have sex with anyone of the same sex.

    Live and let live.

    I don't think lesbians would even slightly shock old Uncle Gaybo. He was reintroducing 20th century Ireland to reality on the Late Late show around the time that television was invented.

    He'd a great ability to slot something highly controversial (in those days) in between a segment on furniture restoration and an interview with a nun about turnips.

    The shrill conservative ould wans would get highly outraged but they'd be calmed down by the sensible feature and then get all exited about entering the knit your own Bridget's cross competition.

    It was a perfect show for that transition period in Ireland.

    Where have you been living? There's a march on today for marriage equality for guess who - the gays! We are far from progressive! We are desperately backward for a Western country.

    Never said she would all I'm saying is I know from personal experience that many lesbians are indeed bisexual and who's to say this girl isn't any different?

    Is it wrong that I'm smiling at the thought of the massive knicker fit that the likes of the Ancient Order of the Hibernians (or whatever that Irish-American group is called) are more than likely currently having.

    Keep writing the fiction

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Well I'm certainly not backwards, nor are most people I know. Are people saying they disapprove of her sexuality?
    The SIndo just posted a non story to rabble-rouse but that's it as far as I can see. Have people said "It's a disgrace that the winner is a lesbian"? A few auld folks and Iona Institute types might, and ok there could be a trolling column by John Waters, but in general... people aren't condemning her. I think the question being asked - would she have won it if it was common knowledge? - is an interesting one.

    Ah come on. If we were that backward there wouldnt be a march in the first place.

    I don't know for sure but I've heard people say he seemed a bit funny about single mothers. I do remember when he did the shortlived Irish Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? and a contestant was a young woman, and he introduced her with a bit about her. Said she lived in wherever with... awkwardness... <the name of her son> but not mentioning he was her son.

    To be fair, there's huge public support for marriage equality here. Far higher than even the UK in any opinion polls I've seen. It's been polling at over 70% in favour.

    Also no political party is opposing it and hardly any elected reps are anything other than enthusiastically in favour.

    In France for example there were seriously nasty right wing protests before it came in last year.

    We'll also be one of the first (if not the first) country in the world to actually have an aspect of gay rights directly written into the constitution with an actual majority vote in favour of it. Assuming that it goes through.

    So all in all I think that actually puts Ireland in a very strongly open minded position on gay rights.

    In a way the referendum (if it passes, which is likely) will actually be a big endorsement of present day Ireland's respect for gay rights and acceptance of gay people.

    Just because the escort was a guy? It's hardly a requirement that the entrants must fancy/have sex with their escort.

    Just wait until people work out that there have probably been some gay escorts over the years & the place will go into meltdown I tells ya!

    Well now this has been revealed hopefully it'll put a stake through the heart of this daft competition, which run on the basis of some near fascist level fantasy version of Oirland
