    sorry but I just can't see the link between anything I said and having sex with the escorts :confused:

    I think that she is the victim of the whole lgbt movement in this case.i agree with you that its not a big deal if she's a lesbian,its pretty hot to be honest,but such is it nowadays that it becomes a big deal hence the media falling all over this and threads like this.the gay lobby have created a frankenstein

    Or perhaps, she is openly gay, her family & friends know, her fellow contestants know & now thru a carefully orchestrated interview with the cooperation of the rose of tralee committee, everyone else now knows on her terms?

    Shaking my fcuking head here.


    I'm an openly gay man, that doesn't mean I shout about being gay anymore than a straight person shouts about being straight.

    If I entered something along the lines of this, I wouldn't mention it unless it was brought up. Why would I just start going on about my sexuality if nobody asked me about it, or nothing lead to me talking about it? It wouldn't be a big enough deal, and there's far more to me than where I like to stick my dick -which is the whole point, I'm not just my sexuality. Although I don't think you understand that.

    Usually, Daithi asks about 'any men in your life'. Lol.

    Ah crap.. thought Gay Byrne had just revealed that he had disguised himself as a woman and won the Rose of Tralee.

    Much better story.

    I'd have thought that Nationwide might have been a more fitting media outlet - what with the presenter being on the judging panel. She's disgusted.

    Gay people get criticised for "telling the world" they're gay... now criticism of a gay woman NOT "telling the world" she's gay. Somehow, both get brought back to the LGBT lobby.
    Damned do, damned don't.
    Well, definitely with that poster, given his post history, he's the opposite of a heterophobe if you get my drift.

    After the uproar from the usual suspects earlier this year I'm genuinely surprised that some muppet didn't demand the event be forfeited and that goon Panti be declared the winner.

    Doesn't necessarily mean that the contestant has to blub out all details of their love life though.

    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?

    Absolute BS - you are so deluded its not even laughable. I'd imagine it was scenarios on nights out where women pretended to be lesbians so you'd lay off hassling them.

    I wish Panti didn't eloquently verbalise what it can be like actually being in the shoes of a gay person 24 hours a day (while at the same time fully acknowledging that ok, Ireland isn't Russia/Uganda either).
    So unreasonable of him.

    I can't take him seriously when he makes his speeches dressed as a barbie doll.

    I also can't take Mick Wallace seriously when he turns up in the Dail wearing a Turin away jersey.

    I never took Lord Sutch seriously either when he dressed like a gobsh'ite.


    I guess that makes me homophobic and gobsh'itephobic does it? Or just the first one?

    But your sexuality is basically "where you stick your dick" yeah? I'd say you're some catch horse. :P

    Big leap there - I didn't suggest that. It just annoys me when people don't actually take in what Panti said and can't see beyond the fact he wears drag. Ignore the drag, what he says is seriously well thought out. Wallace is a gobshyte anyway. Panti is far from one.

    Meh, it doesn't worry me in the slightest how people dress just as long as they don't wear those feckin stripes or patens that cause the TV to go all weird!

    Also it helps if they wash their clothes now and then.

    Mabey you should try to pay more attention to the substance of what is said rather than what the speaker looks like. Do you take someone seriously just because they wear a suit.

    If Daithí had asked her on stage "Are oo wan uh dim lizhbians?" and she said "No", then it would be dishonesty.

    Immediately followed by Daithi winking at the audience. Egh.




    From the RTE report on it,
    "I'm not ashamed of my sexuality by any means," she said. "The Rose of Tralee is about celebrating women's intelligence, careers, their volunteer work...

    Ha! Like fu(k it is!

    Why should the fact that he wears drag have any influence on how his message is received though?

    Would you perceive something said by a lady any differently if she was wearing a pair of jeans and a rugby jersey when she said it?

    Yes?

    If I was interviewing applicants for a job, would I pick the guy who came in scrubbed up in a suit or the lad who showed up in the Celtic jersey?

    The fact the suited up man might also own a few jerseys and wear them in his off time is irrelevant, I do it myself, but I know the time and place. And the Dail, a job interview, or a political statement is not the place to show up wearing your favourite casual gear.

    He is probably back in his village in Kerry looking at the bottom of a glass getting slagged by all the locals.

    She was probably straight till she meet him

    Even if the lad in the jersey was the best lad for the job.
    I'd call that narrow minded but it's a free world.

    Why is this news..........

    Because the winner of the Rose of Tralee chose to garner free publicity off the back of her being a lesbian.
