I’m no fan of Australia’s David Pocock, but this is pretty cool:
In 2005 on the Australian Schoolboys tour of UK and Ireland we were billeted out with families in Limerick. The family I was billeted with: the Murrays. I don’t think @ConorMurray_9 or I were thinking we’d go on to face each other in test rugby. Great to catch up after the game. pic.twitter.com/MRF9BRsQY0

But what really amused me was this comment:
That’s what being an LGBT Ally does for you. Folau will look 87 by next year.

This is meant as a dig at Israel Folau for his anti-gay remarks. So how’s old Izzy looking these days?
Oh. That link between homophobia and ugliness is looking a little tenuous, isn’t it?
Off topic, but it seems the BBC CAN get sniffy about polyarmory after all:

Oh wait, the bloke did it. All is clear now.
Surely the real story is Pocock looked 27 as a schoolboy rather than he hasn’t aged?
My quick poll of the gays* on Folau suggested they don’t really care about his quaint beliefs but would be prepared to discuss them with him at length, ideally in a sauna.
* well a gay, my mate Mark.

You wouldn’t know it by the way the media bangs on about them, but they’re a vanishingly small percentage of the population. 2-3% at most.
Not in the media Daniel!
I suspect the percentage of men who like sex with other men is a fair bit higher than 3%. That isn’t the same as being gay, of course, since many of them are married to women.
I did a very scientific audit of my facebook friends a little while ago and they came out (boom) as 4% gay and 1% lesbian, although I think I had to round up the lesbians.
Although, as Chester says, there must be many more who’ve given it a try.
Back on topic, my opinion of Pocock shot up considerably when Tim highlighted his even-handed and sensible public comments about Folau and his beliefs.
Although, as Chester says, there must be many more who’ve given it a try.
Anyone who’s played rugby, for instance.
