Russell T Davies has said gay rights are “rapidly and urgently getting worse” thanks to the rise of Reform UK and the influence of the Trump presidency on British politics.
What gay rights are getting worse? Is there one single “gay right” which is being denied, even has people dreaming about possibly being able to deny?
No, trans is not the same thing. Different axis of human behaviour.
Is someone stopping him bumming? If so, I can’t imagine who; everywhere I look it seems to be positively encouraged as the preferred behaviour.
I can’t be arsed to check, but I’d bet RTD is a big Palestine supporter and maybe even voted Jezza. Wait till his friends get in – then things are going to get spicy.
Fuck moi, perhaps a whole month to celebrate their buggery and free inoculations to facilitate their promiscuity is not enough…?
Actual lesbians, as opposed to the make-believe hairy-arsed blokes in frocks, are no longer allowed to take part in pride marches (not that they should give a shit or even wish to be associated with the rest of today’s alphabet bunch).

Somehow I doubt that’s what he’s referring to.
If different sections of society have their own specific Rights, what happened to equal Rights for all?
When you ask anyone howling about the horrors befalling the alphabet people to give an example of what’s being done that is so bad you either get a few “um’s” followed by crickets or a word salad about “my truth” and “validating my existence”.
Bollocks on stilts
Interested as often happens beat me to it. I’d be 99.9% certain that Davies is a huge supporter of Jez Corbyn and is ‘on message’ on Palestine. He may find his ‘allies’ might be less keen on the LGBT agenda than he seems to wish they were….
As for Trans, I’m with the great Longrider on this one. I think most Trans individuals are probably heartily sick of a handful of loudmouths who can’t ‘live and let live’ making their lives more miserable. Tolerance is a ‘two way street’ and my patience with these halfwits is at an end.
I guess he’s upset because no one watches Dr Gay fight the Cyberqueers any more. I mean even wee Nicola Krankie has finally come out.
I accidentally listened to a programme on Austrian wireless last week that featured some harridan called Gertraud Klemm.
Two things about her interview struck me and made me wonder how it fits modern feminist thought : her views on the Phallocracy and Patriarchy were straight out of the 1980s and I listened with despair at this Stalinist theory of feminism; but also her fervent support of Trans rights as part of the Queer Movement which is a boat that has rather sailed, I suspect.
I suspect my views on “trans” are similar to most traditional, self-effacing bourgeois Brits: you’re deluded and probably mentally ill but I’ll be civil to you and pretend not to notice that anything’s amiss unless you try to follow my wife or daughter into the ladies’ loo or changing room, at which point I probably won’t challenge you directly but will advise my wife or daughter to come back out straight away.
In this way “trans” can live their lives peaceably without bothering anyone, but at a cost to women’s freedom. I would hope the trannies get the message and stop invading women’s loos and changing rooms. I’m quite happy to have them in the blokes’, or in those places that quite sensibly have several identical rooms with bogs in them. No-one cares about that unless they piss on the seats, and there’ no need for the silly symbols on the doors. WC is perfectly sufficient.
Tell me which “trans right” this attitude transgresses, please.
It is interesting, isn’t it: If you stare at a fully dressed woman for more than a nanosecond on the Tube, you can be done for sexual assault. But put on a frock and you can follow her to her gym, enter the changing rooms and watch her undress. Does this make sense?
“I guess he’s upset because no one watches Dr Gay fight the Cyberqueers any more.”
Russell T Davies was a staff writer on mostly forgotten TV, often hired to fill in when people were sick and he got a break doing Queer as Folk. Which was not very good, but of course, because it was about gays and got a bit spicy everyone pretended it was and that he was a genius.
He works for the BBC, and what he writes is absolute shit. No-one in movies is hiring him.
He made a series called Years and Years, which is like if someone took clunky 1980s theatre about THATCHER and put it on the screen. I’ve only seen clips and it makes Highlander II look like a masterpiece.
Well, that’s something I learned today. I’ve been a Doctor Who fan for *mumble mumble* years, have lots of the original books, love the reboot although I haven’t seen the last couple of seasons. I will when I stump up money for the right streaming service.
I never knew Russell T Davies was gay. Do I get points for not giving a shit about his choice of partner?
RTD is a left-wing homosexualist who has written ‘gay’ propaganda for children’s TV and various other mediocre works. Naturally, he was awarded an OBE…
1975. Tom Baker – Genesis of the Daleks.
50 years after it was screened, I still remember this scene.
I doubt most Doctor Who is remembered 50 minutes after it ends these days.
[the Doctor is holding the ends of two wires connected to the explosives he has set up in the Dalek incubator room]
Sarah Jane Smith: Well, what are you waiting for?
Doctor Who: Just touch these two strands together and the Daleks are finished. Have I that right?
Sarah Jane Smith: To destroy the Daleks? You can’t doubt it.
Doctor Who: Well, I do. You see, some things could be better with the Daleks. Many future worlds will become allies just because of their fear of the Daleks.
Sarah Jane Smith: But it isn’t like that.
Doctor Who: But the final responsibility is mine, and mine alone. Listen, if someone who knew the future pointed out a child to you and told you that that child would grow up totally evil, to be a ruthless dictator who would destroy millions of lives, could you then kill that child?
Sarah Jane Smith: We’re talking about the Daleks, the most evil creatures ever invented, you must destroy them! You must complete your mission for the Time Lords!
Doctor Who: Do I have the right? Simply touch one wire against the other and that’s it. The Daleks cease to exist. Hundreds of millions of people, thousands of generations can live without fear, in peace, and never even know the word Dalek.
Sarah Jane Smith: Then why wait? If it was a disease or some sort of bacteria you were destroying, you wouldn’t hesitate.
Doctor Who: But if I kill, wipe out a whole intelligent lifeform, then I become like them. I’d be no better than the Daleks.
Andrew C, and that is the mentality of the ‘progressive left’* – “If we eliminate the IRA we become like them”.
No you don’t, because you aren’t like them are you?
Wipe out ISIS? Can’t do that because we will etc……. Bollocks.
*Except where white western civilisation is concerned when the ‘progressive left’ are absolutely fine with that being wiped out.

“we, the gay community, queer community, should be revolting”
You are.
Davies’s next Channel 4 series, Tip Toe, deals with the culture war that has radicalised some people into homophobia, transphobia and prejudice.
“We’ve introduced drag queens, binders, dildos and anal sex to schoolchildren… why are these right wing bigots fighting a culture war?”
WB – He works for the BBC, and what he writes is absolute shit. No-one in movies is hiring him
BBC writing is always shit. Idk if you remember that Sherlock Holmes show with Bendydick Cumbersnatch a few years ago, it was painfully stupid. A window licker’s idea of what highly intelligent people are like.
But BBC idiocy is the annoying kind that’s convinced it’s smart.
It’s such a fine line between clever and stupid.
Steve
Remember, not all gayers are part of the “gay community”. Many are just ordinary guys whose sexuality is disordered. They don’t do Pride; and they aren’t camp. And they often loathe mass immigration, want law and order, despise political correctness and just want to get on quietly with their lives…
Steve,
“BBC writing is always shit. Idk if you remember that Sherlock Holmes show with Bendydick Cumbersnatch a few years ago, it was painfully stupid. A window licker’s idea of what highly intelligent people are like.”
Sherlock Holmes is *magic*. Total and utter trash. Literally the worst adaptation I’ve ever seen.
If you’ve not seen Elementary, it’s pretty good.
Theo – yes, I know.
The tell isn’t that they’re gay, the tell is those who use the word “queer”. Queer = kiddy fiddler. Queer = opening the Lament Configuration of polymorphous perversity, just like the sicko Kinsey wanted.
WB – Sherlock Hound was a better written and more faithful adaptation, and that was about a cartoon dog.
It was incredibly dumb for the LGB people to let the T people tack themselves on.
Completely different issues and roots.
“Who turns me on” versus “who am I?”
Our village has four gay couples, mostly because retired gay bankers are the only people who can afford to buy nice houses now. We’re good friends with one couple, another are a scent pair by all accounts, we just don’t move in their circle, one is a scream in the streets having a row pair (we used to have two pairs like that but they left) and the fourth live most of the time in
London. Basically a spectrum like most of us.
@Interested
To misquote Julian Clary with a northern accent, that’s quite a friendship circle down there, don’t go expanding it.
Genesis of the Daleks – I use this serial to explain to foreigners what Dr Who is about.
And yes I always shout “Do it you silly sod !” Sarah is right ( as usual ).
The best bits are when Davros goes all Hitlery.
RTD and his gaiety : well it was pretty obvious when he introduced John Barrowman into Dr Who in series 1. And as for Torchwood… bloody woofter central that became.
Sherlock – I could never get into it. Wanda Ventham’s lad is alright but Martin Freeman is such a boring actor. Even Una Stubbs couldn’t make me like it.
I used to enjoy Elementary, Lucy Liu helped a lot there, but the Holmes guy is pretty good too.
@bongo
No chance of that, don’t you worry. (A scent pair should have been a decent pair.)
The two chaps we are friends with are just two middle ages blokes – not camp, not flamboyant, politically sound, and they serve extremely good wine.
As I say I don’t know the others but they’re not throat rammers if you know what I mean.
Martin Freeman is such a boring actor
Oh, so much this.
I quite liked the first season and ahalf of the Cumbersnatch reboot.
I particularly liked that in the Victorian Sherlock, Watson is an army medic recently demobbed from Afghanistan. And in the reboot, Watson is an army medic recently demobbed from Afghanistan.
