Same sex snogging seems to be spreading.

Am I alone in feeling distaste, to use restraint, for all this gay celebrity attention? We have just got over all the hoo-ha over Michael Jackson, who many think was a homosexual paedophile, who spent millions of dollars sweeping his attentions to male minors under the carpet; the news channels devoting thousands of hours world-wide to the story. Now we have the shocking and sudden death of Stephen Gately, another avowed homosexual, to contend with It seems certain facts of the singer’s death have been hushed up: he appears to have suffered a heart attack, but he was smoking pot at the very least the night before, and he and his partner, Andy Cowles, had invited a rather shadowy figure to their apartment, a Bulgarian waiter name of George Dochev, who had stayed the night and, indeed, “discovered” Gately’s corpse “on his way out.“ The question everyone will be asking themselves, if not out loud is, “If alcohol and hard drugs were not involved, did sexual excitement, a la ménage a trois, contribute to the singer’s death by over-straining an already weak heart?” (In fact, this seems to be the case, as the visitor revealed to Spanish police - who have reopened the investigation as of October 25 - that he did engage in sexual acts with the partners, and that Gately was pretty drunk).

Gays don’t come reluctantly out of the “closet” these days, they trumpet their "sexual preference" from the roof-tops. I am especially offended by the hobbyist, self-confessed bi-sexuals, like Kate Moss and Angelina Jolie, to name but two. What are these hemales at - if you’ll excuse the pun - bottom? What do their kids talk about at school when mum is seen leaving a night club, arm-in-arm, or tongue deep down the throat of some drunken companion, “Oh, that’s auntie Miriam?” In fact, what sort of kids are these mothers raising? If it’s alright for mum and dad to cross-dress and have same-sex lovers, or mum and “dad” to be both female or male, surely the kids will grow up wanting the same perceived "normaility?"

Same sex kissing seems to have spread like an ugly rash among youngsters, especially women, when they have had too much to drink during a night out. Are they just lonely and starved for contact? And we are treated to homosexuals kissing on soaps like Eastenders, despite the protests from hundreds of viewers. So what you say? Is that the problem, we now have a “so what” society where anything goes and damn the long term consequences?

I wouldn’t mind if the homosexual lifestyle wasn’t all too often reported as being full of violence, drug use, infidelity and diseases such as AIDS, herpes and the rest. For every homosexual relationship that does seem to have the solidarity of many heterosexual marriages, such as that of Furness and John, as far as we know; there are a hundred that have none of the traditional values we have grown to expect from a good “normal” marriage.

I was fascinated to see the messages of condolence arriving in Ireland for today’s burying. All our precious celebs had to have their names in the limelight, the facet of life they must yearn-for daily: the Beckhams were prominent, Victoria never misses a sound-bite opportunity. This insecure women will soon resemble a skull if she looses any more weight; it’s obvious the brain has already shrunk to the size of a pea; does she dabble with other women? Does handsome David drop his gaze - or more - in the locker room? Dunno, wouldn‘t surprise me. Elton sent his “wife,” Furness, The slimy Simon Cowell, who I could see cosying-up to a gay rabid rat if there was money in it, (OK, I exaggerate, just don’t like him) sent his condolences; so did Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, George Michael, Sharon Osborn, Brian McFadden and heaps more; the messages were still pouring in on Saturday morning.

How many remember the following also died this year, 2009? They all got some news coverage, but nothing like that surrounding Michael Jackson or Stephen Blakely, neither did, as far as I know, our celebs en masse send messages of comfort to their families. Why??

Ronnie Biggs (OK, not many missed him, but…)

Karl Malden Great actor in more than 100 movies

Patrick Swayze Likewise

Wendy Richard Eastender’s star

Walter Kronkite Greatest media journalist ever

Bobby Robson Soccer

Edward Kennedy US politician

Dai Llewellyn Famous Welshman

OK, they all got some coverage, and so they should. Not one known gay among them and I bet the limited coverage (apart from Swayze) all forgotten by readers who are still blubbing over Jackson. Of course these people are talented if they are your cup of tea: Michael was a great dancer/singer/showman; Gately seemed a nice chap (or, as we said in the navy, “chasp.”), and he had a lovely voice. But is his passing, which doesn’t seem to contain some great mystery, enough to get this minor celebrity news coverage on BBC and Sky all bloody day? Of course not, it’s the fact of the attention of all the gay and other celebrities attending or sending condolences. That’s where the news value is. The whole thing is just a big yawn to most people, I am sure.

In closing, I would like to mention the word “homophobic.” It seems non PC these days to possess homophobia, which the dictionary says is not hatred of, nor aggression to, homosexuals, as our police seem to suggest, but an “Irrational fear…of homosexuality.” Chew that over for a while and come up with your own conclusion. My own standpoint is I don’t fear anyone not like me, don’t hate them - I’m no gay basher - but just can’t be bothered with gays and am tired of hearing about them and their sexual preferences, defending their life-style, yadder, yadder, yadder. It will be a sad day when we need them to re-populate the world after, say, a nuclear Armageddon kills 99% of the planet’s citizens.

So long, guys, my fire has died down, have to throw a couple of faggots on it. (“Faggot,” dictionary definition: “bundle of sticks or wood used to make a fire“ “Gay,” apart from the obvious, “a person or happening that is light-hearted and merry“).

PS I see Google has already attached dozens of homosexual-oriented advertisements to this article. Catering for gays is a huge business in 2009.

Logical comment, please; not hate-filled, even if you don’t agree. Cheers.
