Home and shag Seb

Well it's happened.

Chris was asked by Seb if he had ever wanted to kiss anyone and Chris moved forward towards Seb who looked all shocked. According to Sky's TV summary thingy Chris runs away.

This is fiction on Home and Away by the way but shows how inept straight people are at dealing with the gay issue.

Homsexuals on TV usually fit into four classes:

a) The camp funny gay.
b) The predatory gay.
c) The confused kid who turns out to be straight really.
d) The annoying out and so proud people want to kill him gay that p*sses everyone off.

The reactions to gays is predictable too. As Mrs Gamblin put it and I'm going to nick it 'top marks for Irene's "shock horror" response to the thought of a queer lad being in Nick's bedroom, complete with doom and gloom music. Tastefully done, H&A'.

This really, really p*sses me off. No not because I'm some sort of gay liberation type chap but because this sort of dross makes gay kids think what they are is wrong and people will be repulsed by them.

It's a shame that a soap that has dealt with rape, child abuse, drink problems, cancer, murder and Ben Unwin's vanishing hairline can't deal with a kid who is gay.
