First the queens are almost kicked out of The Wendy Williams Show. And now some homos are saying Britain’s Top Gear considered them too gay for their audience.
Or rather, too male. Audience member hopeful Simon Reeves says he and his partner were denied tickets to the show, leading to obvious calls of discrimination. The BBC show, however, says it requires ticket requests to be made in groups of up to four with even gender splits, meaning two women and two men. Do the math, and that could mean one gay male couple, and one lesbian lady couple.
It’s an effort to keep the audience gender neutral, which is, in fact, an admirable move for the BBC to make, especially with a show like Top Gear, whose audiences might naturally skew widely male, given the show’s topic (machines that move!). And it’s one we’ll support.
Meanwhile, how homophobic can this show be when they’re giving free plugs for the iPhone’s gay cruising app Grindr?
How about we take this to the next level?

That is a little bit of a stretch there. This guys seem to be overreacting.

As a die-hard TopGear fan of many years, I can absolutely say it is not anti-gay. Many of their most entertaining weekly guests have been women and gay men (Steven Fry’s been on twice) and any gay-themed jokes they make are always directed at their own irrational squeamishness at man-touching. It’s harmless, and more importantly, hilarious.

I believe based on comments over the years that Captain Slow is a ‘mo. I mean, who else but a ‘mo would drive a Ford Zephyr with a chrome nose!

I don’t have a problem with their policy of wanting a gender-neutral audience. However, I think if they insist on maintaining this policy, it should be the responsibility of the producers/audience wranglers to put female asses in those seats. Don’t refuse anyone trying to get tickets simply because they aren’t doing *your* job. Put the homos on a waiting list if necessary until you have the proper girl/boy ratio.

One thing that has become very apparent in recent years is that despite the gender equality in the studio audience, the front rows in the crowd surrounding the presenters is almost exclusively women.

Well not sure about this policy, it seems to be a bit too politically correct. OTOH, Jeremy Clarkson was nominated for Stonewalls Bigot of the Year in 2007 for his insensitive remarks, which the BBC censured him for.

I don’t like this idea of an imposed gender balance. It’s a form of social engineering. When it’s imposed from above, it’s really quite distasteful.
