Wow I've actually lost a little respect for him...considering how little I had to start with that's quite something.

Yeh an interesting comment for a bloke who has spent midst of last 10 years with his head firmly up the arses of Asian men to get money out of them....sounds like a bit of man we to me. What amazes me is how quickly they've turned 'gay rights' into 'gay propoganda', although it doesn't suprise me in the least

Bernie is a man, who when asked a question, only replies in a manner he thinks will best improve his position - truth, decency, fairness or even his true feelings on the subject don't even cross his mind.

Getting a straight, honest answer out of him is virtually impossible.

He says what he thinks is appropriate for the moment - and is generally dismissive of most questions and the questioner. That marks him out as an extremely arrogant individual, in my view.

Whilst this may boost his position in Russia, Bernie's ramblings might severely backfire on him in Western Europe... F1 is getting enough bad PR as it is, he doesn't need to go around kicking hornets nests!

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away".

really?

it's everywhere, from signs on london busses, coffee mugs at the EA, the massive overload of it at the BBC, or more relevant to Russia, the stupid self-promoting idiots who got whipped.

Look, I am not anti-gay or homophobic, but I do not want to see their agenda being shoved down my thought every time I turn on the TV or radio.

Never been to London, dont work for the environment agency and I'm struggling to see the overload at the BBC. There's a channel 4 advert and a few others from around the world (Canada) but other than that, I dont see it, maybe I'm blind to it?

I agree, I've often thought that the proportion of openly gay couples on TV is massively higher than it is in reality. If soaps are anything to go by then 20% of the population must be LGBT.

It's a touchy debate, some straight people hate the subject, but you have to remember it's no different to the sufrajets, women's rights and black rights, all people want Is to be treated as equals, sometimes you have to fight for it which may come across as forcing it down people's throats. I welcome the day in the future when people can be equal and simply say they are in love instead of having to shout from the rooftops to get equal treatment

If your truly bothered by seeing consensual gay people you need to take a good look at yourself IMO.

I agree with that in the early days of trying to get equality for a cause. However when you are 95% of the way there, the only way to get the final 5% is to step back and remove any positive discrimination and disproportionate representation.

I personally think gay rights is at this point and the main thing now holding it back is the special interest groups that keep highlighting the differences to everyone.

Kind of missing the point.

I don't care if somebody is gay or not, i just don't want to be told they are 24/7 and that i should get over it.

95% eh? I'm not sure there are many gay people will agree with that.

From what I can see the majority of the religious suggest they are evil. The reaction to gay marriage in this country alone shows that, perhaps, there should be more buses with anti prejudice slogans thereon.

Well, just to keep it topical, this is what our cash strapped EA is spending our money on.
