Is there any escape from this? They say they're proud to support the LGBT community.

Why say this? Would they show an ad supporting self control and integrity? Fidelity perhaps? By supporting Bis they obviously have no regard for that...

I can only assume that anything traditional is kyboshed. But why??

Thought exactly the same when I saw it.

Why can't we have an advert saying ...

'We support the absolutely normal, unoffensive, ordinary men and women who just get on with their daily lives - and bringing up children, in many instances'.

But, of course - that vast, and silent, majority are merely taken for granted.

Mercifully I've not see this embarrassing sounding Sky 'advert', but I'd be amazed it it topped this BBC effort below for being cringeworthy.   

Have a look at this 2016 attempt to forge a seamless, timeless, "friends forever" link between two of their most favoured groups : Calais jungle camp Pretendy Refugees "refugees" and British 'Trans' persons.

Remember, YOUR MONEY bankrolled this absurd non-story.

PP - how can one be bi and show fidelity? They have to decide at some point surely??

Polygamy next to accomodate the bis?

So is it fidelity to a partner or to a sexuality? I'm genuinely confused. Do you think all bi people have two partners - one of each persuasion?

I presume they flip to use a betting term.... They seem confused.

why is there this confusion of what sex you are?

even Stephen Fry has slept with women.
Gay men are always marrying women and fathering children and then
get divorced, it seems very dishonest to me.

finally settling in old age as devout 'married to a man theme'.

it looks like from the peeper out the windows perspective they
just like any opportunity?

I don't understand why people think they're confused. Some people like the opposite sex, some the same and some both. Where's the confusion?

gutted he has gone. He nearly has everything to be a top defender. Well apart from his passing, but that is just silly.

He is outstanding, superb in the air, anticipates and reads the game.

Reading are mad, under the new rules you have to be a footballer Cry

Surely that 2nd sentence should read:

The vast majority of people like the opposite sex, a small percentage the same and an equally small percentage both.

Tail beginning to wag the dog. Time to fight back with 'I'm normal and proud of it' parades.

This is all in the news at the moment because of the 50th anniversary of de-criminalising homosexual acts. Give it a week or so and the news will move on to the next fad or anniversary of something else and we'll all be moaning about the next news story that's flavour of the month!
