How strange that Thomas Hitzlsperger had to wait for retirement to announce he is gay.
Michael Johnson then stepped down from his position on the Football Association’s Inclusion Advisory Board after footage emerged of him describing homosexuality as ‘detestable’.....he has hidden behind his religious beliefs....so Sky news say.
Johnson held a position on an inclusion advisory board but makes comments like that!!
Alex, who now plays for PSG is said to have told French channel Canal+, in a programme to be aired tonight on religion in football: "God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Yves". in response to Hitzlsperger's announcement.
Long way to go for equality I think

It's a job at the end of the day, Ux. That's all we're talking about. If you or I were desperately unhappy at our workplace and were suitably qualified and able to work elsewhere then I dare say we'd exercise that option.
I could be wrong, of course, but I can't help but feel he may have been guilding the lilly a bit in that piece. |
Gilding lilies, that's a bit gay isn't it. |  |

Funny how the people who claim not to care about other people's sexuality are the ones who are most vocal about the issue. |  |

That or the most vocal people are the ones who don't care. |  |

Perhaps that's because the people who DO care - on both sides of the issue - need a bit of education and balance which can come only from the ones who DON'T care and have no dog in the fight. Just askin'. |  |

So you're saying the person being bullied and harrassed at work should be moved on to solve the problem rather than tackling the issue at hand? |  |

I'd leave it quiff - this joker is living his belief by winding you up.
Do you, also, get the impression he knows these things because he was the one dishing it out and thought it was OK? | |

He would appear to have been the only member of the entire squad and coaching team that saw it as anything like that. Just him out of the entire set-up. The Chelsea organisation is vast, they are staffed with sports psychologists and no end of support workers to turn to in times of trouble.
Now a few possibilities present themselves: Firstly he was able to conceal his hard time from everybody (it's possible, but why would he?) Second, he's a bit of a Tom Pepper; or finally he has found himself a little niche at the Guardian. It's probably lucrative to join the chorus of hand-wringers there and throw bile at anybody who doesn't share the values of The LSE staff room. |  |

I've been reading that bloody paper for over 20 years now and I can't remember ever wringing my hands or throwing bile. I must be doing it wrong. | |

What about Muesli, Clase? Do you like Museli?
Small steps. One at a time. You can't just rush straight to the hand-wringing, there's a waiting list for that and these Fabian types are real sticklers for protocol.  | |

Yeah but f*ck man. I've been at this leftie business for as long as I've been able to understand politics (and right from wrong, obviously). You'd have thought I'd have mastered the basics by now. No, don't like muesli either. I'm a corn flakes/rice krispies man. | |

I can just picture the real Guardianistas shuddering with up-turned noses at your ghastly lumpen ways. You don't even do the obligatory socks and sandals combo for crying out loud. You're fooling nobody.  | |

Oh and by the way, I hear they prefer the Morning Star in the LSE staffroom | |

I'd already gone there by the time you'd posted that up! 
I get The Morning Star too at least twice a week. It keeps me entertained on break times. | |

I draw mustaches on the pictures of the venerable socialist sisters. Those who don't already have them, that is. Sometimes I colour in every other one of George Galloway's veneered gnashers and give him speech bubbles.
I bore easily. | |

My usual workday breakfast is two cigarettes and two cups of strong Twinings. That usually sees me through until about 8am then I'll scour the works canteen for something half way edible. Usually a couple of two hour old slices of toast. I'm still street see. | |

Old Dav has form with this subject although he has toned down his obvious dislike of homosexuals in this thread, and he's cleverly added "live and let live" to disguise it further. But he don't fool this old sleuth. |  |
