Second Tory MP 'goes gay'

[1066gull]

Greg Barker is really in the shit of things Really at the moment.

I heard for the first time last month he was seperating with his wife, but yesterday in the paper he has left her FOR A MAN.

Talk about really putting yourself in the shit, when he was in a situation as shadow environment minister.

I would understand if he left his wife for another woman, but for f*** sake he may of ruined himself now of a chance of front line politics.

Hands up if you care

...but who cares?

Christ, Albion fans are well aware of all the homophobia out there without adding fuel to the fire.

Does someone's sexuality really matter and is it our business?

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Does it really make any difference whether he leaves his wife for a man or woman

He has seperated from his wife, rather than some high profile caught in the act.....

I don't see how this will have ruined his career.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Aids are you a homophobe?

 

[Napper]

thing is , many attitudes in England are homophobic , Brightons attitude (and this board) is not really that of the country and I'd say something like this is damaging.

No need to slate the poster on this one imo

Hands up if you care

actually i care. not because he's gay, but because he's voted against gay issues in parliament.

that makes him a hypocrite in my books.

What gay issues did he vote against

Show me a politician that isnt!!!!

 

[Albion Dan]

So he left him for a man he must have blatently been screwing behind his wifes back whilst voting against gay rights in parliament.

The tories cant even wait to get in power before they sleaze it up.

 

[Buzzer]

So.....which gay rights did he vote against, or is this just rumour mongering to pander to all the anti-Tories out there?

Right...all you who called him anti-gay are f***ing LIARS OR JUST TOO LAZY TO CHECK THE FACTS

below is a link to a conservative Christian website where they quite clearly show that he voted FOR the civil partnership law AND the gender recognition laws which are really the only main piece of gay-related legislation since he was an MP.

To be fair, just because he is gay doesn't mean he should vote in favour of everything gay....

The negative vote that stands out was same rights for single people (including homosexuals) to adopt as those of married couples. Seems sensible to me.

Good work finding that - the man's a raging hypocrit but the Telegraph and, oddly, the Guardian, don't mention it, online at least.

Not to me it doesn't, not in the slightest bit.

I suppose each case should be judged on it's merits. I concede. Damn, I would make a good politician!

 

[Hiney]

Talk about really putting yourself in the shit

Well presumeably you would do, if you were gay, unless of course he is the receiver





what?
