If the B&B owner didn't want two fudge packers in his precious room, then that's his choice. Can't imagine why anyone would want to stay somewhere where they're not welcome anyway.

Personally, I don't give a flying if someone is gay or not, so long as they are normal and not over-camp. I am currently interviewing people for a supervisory-level job in my team and to be honest a gay candidate is leading the pack at the moment. He is quite simply the best-qualified, experienced and skilled applicant. And he's a car nut too, which might help a little....

P.S. Why are there seemingly more male homosexuals than female ones? Never understood that one really.

Given you're interviewing for a job, where presumably sexuality isn't a factor, you're already discriminating by saying "this gay guy".

Shouldn't come into your mind.....

Hmm....so you do give a flying then as you're putting restrictions on how a "gay" should act surely?

If a straight guy was acting too camp then he wouldn't get the job either.You need to go back to troll school. These really are feeble attempts...

like all prejudices - based on ingorance.

<so, is that the job done then?>
<looks like it>
<collects coat, ready to leave>

sorry about your rights though, jye.

i'm not dead keen on marriage either. but now we have a kid, it's too much of a gamble not to be married, so will be having the appropriate 1/2 hour in registry office followed by 24 hr **** up.

The point is, you were emphasising the candidate as if the best candidate was a surprise as he was "gay".

It is an unnecessary adjective.

ie,

I am currently interviewing people for a supervisory-level job in my team and to be honest a fat black candidate is leading the pack at the moment.
Does that sound a bit odd? Whether the candidate is black/gay/asian/female/male/fat/thin/transgender has no bearing on their ability to do a job.

Sorry guys, you are bordering too much on being homophobic now and as you all know these type of replies are not allowed as per ScoobyNet T&C's.
