If you're suggesting that suggesting someone is gay is a bad thing,
then, logically, I would have to suggest that you don't like gay
people. Now, I know that's probably not true, so I WON'T suggest
that, instead I will politely suggest that you remain calm and stop
trying to censor people's conversations.

Damage it how? By making homophobes not watch their shows? Boo-hoo.
What a ridiculous suggestion. Britain truly is a country of repressed
curtain-twitchers, if this comment is any representation of fact.
Besides, eagle-eyed readers may have noted that most of the posts
were dedicated to demonstrating how Derren is not actually gay - so
you can all breathe a sigh of relief that his career has not
been "damaged".

It's not relevant, true, it's none of my business, true, it's a
personal matter, ALL TRUE, but that's not the point. It's not illegal
or immoral to discuss it and you will have to live with that,
unfortunately. This is the internet, not the letters page of the
Daily Mail and even if it were, I doubt they would be so censorious.
I don't remember anyone getting up in arms when there was discussion
of Derren's supposed new girlfriend, either. One kind of speculation
acceptable and another not? I can only assume that it's the subject
matter that offends. Put your reply in the context of the much
earlier discussion of Sue the Psychologist (the supposed girlfriend)
and you'll see how po-faced and hysterical it sounds.
Apologies for ranting but I feel strongly about this issue, did you
guess?
