If you only watch two programs that happen to have a couple of gay characters in, does that mean that tv companies are exaggerating sexuality in their programs?

Annie Bynnol Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don't think I ever was involved in a conversation where someone said: "Did you see 'The Dick Emery Show' last night?" It was always: "Did you see 'Dick Emery' last night?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends if a person's sexuality is relevant. If I refer to the poster's initial point about the media reporting on a lesbian marriage being cancelled. There was no need at all to report whether it was an homosexual or heterosexual marriage that was cancelled. It was simply a cancelled marriage.

Mark and Johns wedding was postponed, would that indicate a homosexual wedding without stating its a homosexual wedding? shouldnt peoples names be mentioned in news reports?

If you noticed I referred to the post on this forum. Sometimes the same name is used for males and females and if a person does not object to their name being used that is up to them. The initial part of your user name Mel could be an abbreviated form of Melvin or Melisa or Melany for example Edited July 18, 2022 by harvey19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie Bynnol Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Chekhov said: You are deliberately missing the point and you know you are. If gay people constitute about 3% of the UK population, I would have no problem with them constituting 3% of the characters in TV programmes. And why, when reporting on an example of a lockdown postponed wedding, are the couple gay when 97% of couples getting married are straight ? They are pushing a woke agenda and you know full well they are. If the over 65's constitute about 23% of the UK population, I would have no problem with them constituting 23% of the characters in "Love Island". If the under 16's constitute about 20% of the UK population, I would have no problem with them constituting 20% of newscasters. Setting rules to control what we watch is suppression. What is it like being a Suppressionist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so the writer was asked why he had made the lead character gay. He replied that it was based on his own experiences, and he is gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidorry Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) Is this bias when there are 4 female pundits for the women's matches and no men, but, when it is a mans match they always have to include a female Edited July 19, 2022 by Kidorry Altered text 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
