Steven Fry talking sense on Gay Byrne show

ha ha, he's called Gay.

Load of auld **** imo

monstrous..............................gay fúcked off...

Poor Gay, shoulda stuck to the Late Late show.
Hard to argue against Stephen Fry, talks sense.
I've never ever heard a bible basher give a good answer to why we have children born only to die a slow lingering death through malnutrition.

cos the lord moves in mysterious ways innit...

I do not any sense in gay marriage
still Steven Fry is an intelligent man

but you can see sense in 'normal' marriage?

Of course. There's nothing better for helping to bring children into the world and rear them in a stable environment. Marriage and commitment to it helps promote that stability.

Which isn't to say that I have a problem with homosexuals getting married if that's what they want as long as they don't coerce the religious officiator into performing the service.

Jesus was born in a stable environment.

Nay.

Gay marriage is wrong sorry...we have no idea what we have done

One cannot PRETEND that a relationship between two members of the same sex is the same is that between a man and a woman

I like Steven Fry...but not on this subject

Watched a clip on this.

Byrne asked a very predicable question (or variation of) to a well versed, well rehearsed athiest. Fry wasn't thinking off the cuff. I heard him give the same sort of reply for years to this sort of question.

Byrne was sucker punched, and should have interjected Fry's diatribe instead he just sat back and listened for a couple of minutes to what was in effect, a speech by Fry.

Interesting nonetheless; and Fry is without doubt, extremely articulate

Emden, as erudite as Fry.

Byrne a lightweight bully.

Rehearsed or not it was still a good, and correct, reply from Fry.
I don't see his reply as bitter btw and in what way should Byrne have interjected.
Cut him off or ask a supplementary question? I agreed with every word that Fry said.

Fox I don't know how common place this is but I went fishing with my father in law once along with his mate who kept maggots in his mouth to keep them fresh.
Honest. I couldn't even look at him and it put me off ever going back with them.

sorry wrong thread

aka a simple argument well put by fry, I have no doubt he could have taken it to various levels, but sometimes a simple message is the most effective, as it was in this case. Not a Byrne fan myself, works well in a room full of Culchies. Cue incoming .

aka, you fishing again,

I sometimes accompany my wife to the kirk and have spoken to the minister.
He's never gave me a satisfactory answer yet to the realities of life v the loving god that he preaches.

There isn't one akabula

There is to gay marriage, I base my arguments on evolution though
we cannot contradict it..or we pay

Well if we were all hetro life would go on.
You can't say the same if we were all gay.
I suggest we go back to the days when being gay meant being happy.

aka I was blessed as a child with a 9 inch penis, unfortunately it belonged to father Johnston.

Organised religion is all about control through dogma, not spiritual enlightenment.Examine the history of Papal warfare it is sickening

ouch.

I've never felt the need for it. My parents were church goers and took me.
As soon as I could I stopped going. Hated the place.

Amen to that.

PS, the 9 inches was a joke nicked from Bigmos fred.

I know. I'm a fan of bigmos thread.

I'm a fan of 9 inches,

"....still Steven Fry is an intelligent man"

He is a very intelligent man. But think he is just besotted with this young lad who looks like a spotty teenager, and nowhere near the same intellectual level as Fry.

Still, good luck to 'em, no issue with gay people, but these 2 just don't look right together.

It'll all end in tears I fear.

This is a moslem's response to what Fry is saying.

He's got a hat and a beard so I think that means he's a "scholar."

Well this is nothing to do with a meeting of the minds...it is about love or lust, whatever you prefer
which is how most of us pair up, although as long as they care for one another, that is all that matters, surely?

My issue is with the word marriage, one cannot pretend than what two people of the same sex have
is ever the same as our basic man - woman relationship

I do not think that most of us will ever accept this , we are storing up trouble for ourselves
Civil Union was so right
Still we have to wait  until people of my age are dead before this is proved or disproved
I stand by the values I was brought up with, tolerance but no marriage

How on earth could a young lad kopp off with STEPHEN FRY ?????

This is very difficult to get my head around

presumably it's nothing to do with the fact that fry is a multi millionnaire

so its ok to kopp off with him cos hes got plenty of money ???

That's how sad people are these days - its not right - but the do gooders of this world have given in .

For thousands of years it was wrong but now we have to accept it

Because he has money????

Younger women go off with older men for the money

Younger men go off with older women for their money

They always have, they always will

If that is the same here, who cares, are you JEALOUS

He may care for Stephen he may fancy him

difficult for me to judge not being gay or a woman

He is not deformed or anything, I assume he baths.

If you think being the same age guarantees a loving relationship, think again

If I had money I would go for a younger partner, she could look after me if nothing else

She would have to have a grand father fetish though

I wish them a happy civil union together, it is only the word marriage I have a problem with

I don't give a shyte about excess money .

And as for being jealous , of what exactly ????

NECKING A 60 YEAR OLD FELLA !!!!!!

Look at Rod Stewart and the women he's been with.
Ugly beyond words but rich.
Crouch summed it up with his famous quote.

then what are you complaining about zealot?????

rod stewart isn't ugly beyond words you silly little twerp .

if hes that ugly wtf is fry ffs - a deformed mutant ????

Zealot away and do some growing up.

You're either very young or immature mentally.
Either way I'll avoid you from now on.
ebul I would suggest you do the same, guys a fruitcake.

He obviously finds RS attractive.

We cannot help our looks...we are still entitled to some love

I have seen an awful lot of people have their lives torn apart because their so called partner

of many years, suddenly decides to ditch them

and more often it is women that do this..so I do not make any hypocritical moral judgements anymore

I believe you have it there akabula

A mate of mine who is by his own admission middle aged, fat, bald and ugly suddenly became a babe magnet when he treated himself to a porsche. He got bored with the car, sold it and immediately again became invisible to women.

In this world frequently one can trust money more than people

"My issue is with the word marriage, one cannot pretend than what two people of the same sex have

No issue with gay people.  But completely agree with you on that point. The word marriage should only apply to a basic man - woman relationship. 

With any relationship at the start you don't know if it's going to work or if 2 people will stay together, but to give it a fair chance you need the right things in place.  And Fry and this young lad just look so wrong together, I'll be surprised if they are still together in 2 years.

Of it is not the same despite the relentless brainwashing.

A same sex couple is not able to procreate without 3rd party involvement.

agree Wesdag

What is the problem here age difference, 30 years

People worry their own partners will ditch them for a younger model
so they disapprove of this

But as far as I know, Stephen Frey has no prior commitment, unless he has been secretly
married to Hugh Laurie all these years, I doubt it.

He is free to choose , so what is the problem?
I agree Elliot Spencer(looks young for 27) looks more like his son, but there you are
Its caring that counts

So many of these age correct marriages end in tears, so age has little to do with it

I wish them long and happy civil union, best I can do

As Connie Sachs says to George Smiley in that excellent drama Smiley's People
Find yourself a bit of love George
Actually Smiley had it, his Ann, she was just a bit too liberal with it

*Of course

Rod Stewart aint ugly ffs.

The guy was the coolest man on the Planet back in the 70s.

The guy was the coolest man on the Planet back in the 70s.

Anything but cool now and yet he's still punching way above his weight.
Keith Richards is another one. Looks like a crumpled bedsheet yet still pulling young chicks.

If you are interetsing and have money you will pull

if not here round the world

If someone does not already have a partner, I have never seen the point of sticking to our own age, anyone

I have never done...(expect some crap though)

27 is old enough for Elliot to make up his own mind,
the trouble is he don't even look that, Stephen will have to put up with a few funny looks for a while
