well i dont know about the rest of you but im confused.
I think the word is curious, no?

a gay brother-in-law? That's confusing.
Is your sister really, really ugly?
a gay brother-in-law? That's confusing.
Wife's brother?
Not hard to work out is it...

Perhaps his Brother is gay and has married his partner, therefore he has a gay Brother in Law.
not when you put it like that
Shibboleth - MemberI wasn't going to comment Clubber, as what you spouted seemed to be utter drivel. The overwhelming majority of gay men I know (having a gay brother in law there are quite a few in my circle of friends) are noticably camp to the point that nobody would ever be in any doubt to their sexuality.
Amazing you manage to hang around them, then, given your earlier comments...
Quite...
gay man calls another gay man a queen your fine with it, straight man does it and he's a homophobe.
get a grip.
bet you used to be the one at school that would tell teacher.

It's really not rocket science Whippersnapper, I married a woman whose brother is gay. I'm in the process of extricating myself from that situation, but for the time being at least, he is my brother-in-law.
The gay undertaker is a good friend and neighbour - the former partner of my soon-to-be-ex-brother-in-law, and I often socialise with him and several of his gay friends. A right bunch of fairies and they certainly wouldn't object to me saying so.
The office manager of the place I used to work is gay and I still socialise with him and his partner. I also have a friend from school - with whom I used to go clubbing and who was a fine puller of women before he switched alegances - who is now a big gay hairy bear.
They seem to be everywhere!

It's almost like you are attracting them.
Isn't it.

Like flies round sh*t!
So anyway, this old queen. Attention seeking old fruit, or the saviour of the euthenasia movement?
Nah - he's boring - it's been much more fun watching you did a deeper and deeper hole.
did the sexuality of your brother in-law in any way affect the relationship that you are trying to extricate yourself from?
I just cannot understand why he would do that on TV, I personally don’t believe in assisted suicide.
I bet nothing happens to him, what the world is coming to.
Any of you mess with me and it will be the pillow, say no more.
watching you did a deeper and deeper hole.
How topical.

That must rank as one of the silliest things I've ever read on this forum. Astounding.
I reckon Shibboleth got a knock back from Ray Gosling in the past....

Or to put it slightly differently: black man calls another black man a 'nigger' and you're fine with it, white man does it and he's a racist.
Yes.
Or to put it slightly differently, if a gay friends flirts, or is outragoulsy camp with me and I say "P*ss off you big queer", he's fine with it but the STW Guardian Readers decry me as homophobic.
Strange world, isn't it.

What if you said it to someone who wasn't your friend, whilst slagging them off?
Back on topic:
I heard Mr Gosling (a man, I have to say, of whom I was not aware) on the Today Programme yesterday.
He sounded like a bewildered old man who didn't know quite what he was trying to say. I got the impression that he was looking for attention and getting a bit muddled. As somebody else has pointed out, I'm not sure that is a good poster-boy for the mercy killing lobby.
Off Topic:
I have no issue with homosexuality, I wish no harm to homosexuals and get along with homosexual people that I know and have met, but do find 'campness' in men irritating, especially when, as others have said, it is only adopted post-coming-out. It's quite possibly due to 'campness' not fitting in with the commonly accepted male or female behaviour -rightly or wrongly-, but is not fear of homosexuals (homophobia).
Whatever he is charged with, he could seemingly play the 'mentally unstable' card anyway. The story is sad, but somehow by being such an idiot, he lost all of my sympathy.
And, having gone on the TV and confessed to killing somebody (not once but twice!), why did he then say when questioned about the Police becoming involved 'They'll never get me to say anything, we had a code of silence'. What had he just done on national television?! A real Dad's Army, 'Don't tell him your name Pike' moment!
What if you said it to someone who wasn't your friend, whilst slagging them off?
I didn't and wouldn't.
Geronimo, very well put off topic addendum to your post.
I didn't and wouldn't.
It's equivalent to what you did in the OP though - STW is not the same as 'with your mates in the pub'.
That must rank as one of the silliest things I've ever read on this forum.
...and that's up against some pretty stiff competition.
The day gay people stop adopting ridiculous stereotypical demeanors - the lisp, mincey walk, overtly dramatic and feminine tone - is the day I'll stop using their sexuality to describe their personality.
I very rarely see anyone like that but isn't like 5% of the population gay ? And for that matter I've met quite a few conforming to those sterotypes who are actually straight...
edit:
They seem to be everywhere!
bear in mind it's been established on this forum that fancying women is rather gay too and real men only respond to motorbikes and titanium
It's equivalent to what you did in the OP though
Grum, would you be so kind as to remind me *exactly* where in the Original Post I said anything remotely equivalent to calling somebody "queer" as an insult, because I'm at an absolute loss as what the **** you're on about...
and that's up against some pretty stiff competition.
boasting again
Shibboleth,I started a thread about Ray Gosling last night, ive also watched his programes for Granada Tv,On Site, being one,and also have his book.
I had no idea he was or is Gay,and have say i was shocked when i found out,i am not shocked that he has adnmitted to suffocating his partner,but am at the stupid and silly comments you have come out with,perhaps is now the time for you to come out,ill come around and give you a hug,and then you may be happier.
Awaits tirade.........
Grum, would you be so kind as to remind me *exactly* where in the Original Post I said anything remotely equivalent to calling somebody "queer" as an insult, because I'm at an absolute loss as what the **** you're on about...
Where you called him a seedy old queen? Remember? Fine if that's acceptable banter between you and your mates, but homophobic when used in an attacking way about someone you don't know, on a public forum - see the difference?
+ 1 for Grum's last post
to be fair to the OP the word drama is being omitted to win this argument I think
I thought gay men were supposed to be more concerned about their appearance? Obviously another stereotype...
Where you called him a seedy old queen? Remember?
No, I don't remember, you idiot! If you go back and read what I wrote, rather than what you would have liked me to have written, you'll see that I referred to him as a seedy drama queen. "Drama queen" is NOT a homophobic insult as it doesn't necessarily refer to his sexuality. Get your facts straight before accusing people of homophobia. Tit.
Project, I'll have a look for your thread. Seeing him on BBC Breakfast yesterday was the first I've ever seen of him, though the name rings a bell. Maybe my 'gaydar' is better tuned than yours, but he didn't even need to open his mouth - his whole posture, body language and the phoney way he pursed his lips screamed "GAY!".
Oh, and by the way. I'm 100% straight I'm afraid, so any hugs will be just hugs. They won't lead to anything else. Sorry, I'm a lady lover.
