Parents of aspiring young singers are fuming mad after learning Britain’s Got Talent would be hosting auditions next to a gay bathhouse later this month.
Hull Daily Mail reports that producers have arranged to hold auditions for the popular talent show inside the Oak Vaults pub, a music venue that happens to be located right next door to Gentry Hull, a gay bathhouse.
“I have children, and friends who have children, who want to go to this,” one father told the newspaper. “It’s disgusting that the location has been chosen as this pub.”
“They wanted to go but I put a stop to it because now we have figured out where it is because of the venue.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The father continued by saying that he doesn’t think it’s “appropriate” to host a talent competition in a venue “attached to a male sauna where people are having sex.”
“It’s just completely wrong and I don’t think it’s right for kids to be near all of that.”
Of course, one solution would be to not bring one’s children to a pub where alcohol is served in the first place. But maybe that’s asking too much.
Meanwhile, business owners say the two venues aren’t “attached” and are in fact two completely different places.
“Britain’s Got Talent are aware of what is next door,” A spokesman for Oak Vaults said. “Everyone in their right mind knows that they are not connected. They are completely separate entities.”
He added that the are a “music pub through and through” and that he doubts any minors will be attending.
“But if they do, then they must be accompanied by someone over 18.”
The spokesman added: “We get the impression they [producers] are after some of your unsung heroes that haven’t had that break through yet and are not interested in playing to the masses.”

Oh please. Most of these parents would gladly send their kid next door to be molested by a producer if they thought it would get them on the show.

Who are these ‘prents’? They on;y got a comment from one man – and for all we know he is simply homophobic not have any children. Is he suggesting that the producers are going to be asking the audience to pass through the ‘bath house’ on the way to the show? If not, I don’t see how one affects the other. This story is on shaky ground from the start with only being able to provide one alleged dissenter – if there had been dozens and coverage in the print media that we could look at then maybe I would believe that the story is genuine – but they can’t even count to 2 gay men on a panel of 4.

Losers need to stop pimping their no-talent kids.

I agree with the parents. I’m sure their little boys would be much better looked after if the auditions took place next to a Catholic Church.

WOW and I agree with Aries. Why not send them to a Catholic church to be molested by a priest. That would be ok I guess.

There’s a bathhouse next door? [sigh]
I need to get out more.

I’m guessing nothing much goes on in his bedroom if he thinks kids passing next to a place where people have sex behind closed doors is bad. I had to pass my folks’ bedroom every day when leaving my bedroom as a child and I didn’t get struck by lightening. I just never barged in through their doors, especially after hours.

Wow. Such ignorant bigotry. If just being near a place where people had sex influences a child, I would be straight. I grew up in a 1500 ft2 house in a family of 7. The 3 oldest kids are gay.

I thought where is this place? Most if not all the bath houses closed or went out of business years ago due to AIDS or slow down of business. Anyway, this is in England. These are two separate business with absolutely no connection to each other. So what if this pub’s neighbor is a gay sauna, so what. it’s another licensed legal business that happens to be next door. My next question, why was a pub chosen as the venue for this instead of say a school auditorium? Really, people need to mind their own damned business about things that don’t concern them.

Are you so sure about bathhouses in the US going out of business? You’d be surprised….

My question to this homophobe father complaining that men are having sex in this establishment, is: How do you know what goes on in this business? Have you been in this establishment and have had sex with men?

The fact that bathhouses even still exist is bizarre.
ShowMeGuy
Yet these parents are just fine with taking their children to the auditions being held in a tavern.

Oh my! What about the queers that live right next door to Daddy & his kids? The shame!!!
What’s the neighborhood coming to?

Music venue chosen. Happens to be next to a bathhouse. Hilarity ensues.
