Who is David Cameron?

First off, just because I have gay friends and I am a huge shipper of Britanna does not mean I am biased towards completely hating what David Cameron has recently said. What he has said, in my opinion (many will not agree), is universally wrong and something young people, who look up to David Cameron, should not be hearing. They should be allowed to make up their own minds and in their own time. To say that we should ban gay on-screen kisses is one of the most ignorant and oblivious statements I have ever heard. I understand that it can be hard and/or uncomfortable for someone to watch an on-screen gay kiss because they are not used to seeing it publically and because it wrongly fits into the taboo category, but if it is that bad for them they shouldn't watch it - it is not aimed at them. Gay people are portrayed in the media because they are portraying reality - the world we live in today. It is okay for them to laugh at such stereotyped gay characters such as the likes of My Best Friends Wedding and Kurt in Glee but as soon as it all gets serious and something physical happens on-screen, everyone goes stupidly mad. Think how hard it must be for all the people in the world who completely recognise in themselves that something is wrong - or "not normal" - because society and David Cameron tell them that men like women and women like men. It must be SO hard for gay people to come out, no wonder they struggle! No wonder they all stay closeted for such lengths of time and go on to marry in such pain purley to be 'accepted'. Thank god for films such as Brokeback Mountain and Glee. We shouldn't stop gay kisses because people aren't going to find them more comfortable if we do that. They need to see what actually happens in real life. We can't stay hidden in this protected bubble in which we listen to exactly what we're told and do exactly what others say. I know it's hard for many people to accept that but gay people aren't going anywhere and I think it's about time that this society - and gay Davod Cameron - sorted it out. For once, some media professionals may have done it right.

  1. Soo so true poppy. I have a married lesbian auntie and a married lesbian cousin too and it caused massive controversy and a divide in our family for a long time because some of my family are really religious. They've had people make comments if they ever kiss and it's just wrong. He was definitely wrong with what he said and he corrupts kids minds xxxx
