Stephen Fry and husband face homophobia on honeymoon

[Deleted]

Could be worse, he could have gone to Uganda - I don't think Stephen would have come back from that trip.

i've lived with an older woman before. i know it's easy to slap a label on that kind of thing, but before you do stop and consider that the younger person may actually enjoy being in the relationship.

Whilst shitty, why would you go to a place where it is frowned upon what you were doing?

Would be like a Lesbian couple going to Iraq and kissing in the streets.

Or being a gay guy going to USA and kissing your boyfriend in the streets.

depends on the state...

Barely... it happens even in gay friendly areas.

Well yeah it happens everywhere, but in the end, it depends... there are some places that are gay friendly to the point that's mostly a gay area (Why do you think there are places that are called gay villas :P ) but yeah, is not something you will find often

I get annoyed even when straight couples do it excessively.

[Independent voter]

AKA most of the world?

Also... i actually find it quite of normal, many young gay people like to date old guys because they are more "mature", i mean... having you check Grindr / Tumblr lately (or anything without an E for that matter)

Mmmm, they like to date older guys cause the older guys have money.

Well... everything is annoying when is excessive

Depends, we all know that do happen a lot but is also quite common to have young guys date older guys, mostly cause you don't have to deal with most of the "young closeted guy", old guys are normally way to tired to be in the closet :P (I'm talking old guys that are actually dating not just picking up people who are going to warm their beds that night)

I wouldn't say it's not something that doesn't happen often. There's always some hate crime happening in Chelsea every year.

Oh i didn't meant the hate crimes, i meant the villas :P

Not saying it doesn't happen to straight, though 'chicken chasing' is rife in the gay community. FYI I find 60 y/o banding 20 y/o women creepy too. As I say personal opinion it's their life

no more so than in the "Straight community"...

btw, as a member of the "gay community" I find the idea that there is a "gay community" hilarious whenever its trotted out.

Honestly he's lucky he's not dead if they faced homophobia... Honduras has the highest murder rate, so... really... that's one place I would never go.

What if your excessively not being annoying? IS that annoying?

[Hyve]

There are plenty of heterosexual couples that do the same, why is this an issue when it comes to gay couples?

[kritisk]

Here's a thought: Stop worrying about the age gaps in other people's relationships and worry about yourself and your own love life.

I hate when anyone has to deal with racism, homophobia, or whatever but it's going to happen for the foreseeable future.

I love Stephen Fry don't get me wrong but even I find his marriage to 27 y/o toyboy awkward. It kinda reinforces the stereotype of an old rich gay man getting with a guy considerably younger.

Straight rich people do the same exact fucking thing. It's not a homosexual stereotype to use power and wealth to get with someone much younger and more attractive, it's a rich person stereotype. And tbh, almost anyone would do the same if they had the means. When I'm old and decrepit and need to use medical science to get my cock up, I'm still going to fuck twenty year olds and string them along with just enough gifts to keep sucking the dust out of my dick.

[Trassk]

"But even I find his marriage to a 27 year old boy toy awkward"

Sorry but if he was married to a 27 year old red head girl with big boobs would you find that awkward?

Most beer chugging hetero guys would cheer someone Stephens age having a young flame, refereed to as a stud, but shoes on the other foot and it doesn't apply? Whatever.

[Hey There Guys its Metro]

Homophobia is natural. Its good that we strive for equality, but let's be honest. Every gay couple "faces homophobia" ever since day of their lives that is public.
Don't need articles on it.

Exactly. Look at Bruce Forsyth and wilnelia merced, she's 57 and he's 87

Agreed. I'd never go to a place knowing the kinds of people living there would be so backwards and homophobic.
