He Can't Be Gay!!!111
Surprised no one found this via
wank_report.
Over on Yahoo! group highlanderworldwide, wank is abound! Apparently some fans are none too happy about Adrian Paul's newest role as a gay submarine captain in the movie Tides of War. There are shouts of "Duncan Adrian isn't gay!" on one side and chanting for "more gay!" from the other.
Name calling, threats of unsubbing, and accusations of homophobia run through the posts, making for quite an amusing wank.
Yes, you absolutely have the right to have whatever opinion you
choose. But happily, so do I.
"So in my opinion, you're a homophobic twit who needs to have a good
hard look at herself. Couching your sad little hatred in terms of only
liking Adrian as Duncan MacLeod only makes you look more pathetically
obvious as the narrow-minded bigot you so clearly are.

PS. Yes, against the rules and a personal attack and bad form, but I'm
sick and tired of people wanting me and mine to be less than we are.
Don't bother banning me, I'll unsub."

>>>Melba's original post and subsequent posts are very disturbing. They are the worst kind of thinly veiled righteous bigotry and are highly offensive and damaging to the Highlander community. Let's not pretend the discussion is about AP's career choices.
And *that* sentence of yours, Jo, is a flaming [unwarranted] flame on your
part. Carmel has asked for civility.
Meanwhile, over on Eljay, two members of the group go off to rant about the wank. One post on
pat_t's LJ, here and two on
lastrega's LJ, here and here. More highlights from the group can be found on all three LJ posts.
Ahh, the fun never stops.
