Schofield likes it in the broom cupboard

[Neville Chamberlain]

I thought Brexit was finally going to put a stop to this politically correct nonsense.

[bgmnts]

I'm beginning to think me and Lucy Liu isn't going to happen.

Ironic, really, as she's ethnically Chinese and I've always thought of myself as Japansexual.

O-Ren Ishii roleplay is your answer.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

Who was he meant to have been bumming in the 80s then?

My moneys on Andi Peters.

[Replies From View]

And lots of people saying it's been known in the industry for years,

Kind of like Jimmy Savile I suppose.

This Morning must have a relatively socially conservative hush hush Church of England audience.

I'm not sure about that. They had Paul Ross having a live in-studio prostate exam (see above!), a live in-studio testicular cancer examination (not Paul Ross, although I heard he'd volunteered), Pip and Holly discussing sex toys with Tracey Cox, which included videos of viewers giving their personal verdicts after testing them...

I dunno. Maybe he gets hundreds of racy letters from the ladies and they were concerned about their reaction.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Remember he used to dye his hair for decades as well before revealing his true grey nature.

Lies and deceit run through his melanin-starved gay body like a stick of entirely homosexual rock.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

EDIT: Never mind.

[Captain Z]

It's exciting! And he's gay! WHOOP!

Twitter is full of homophobic sniggering about this. Then I come here and find this thread.

My god, I've only just heard. Whoever next? Cliff?

[Hand Solo]

At this rate only another couple of decades before we get Walliams outing himself.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

If anything I've considered him pretty asexual

Same here. Even when I was an unemployed wastrel, I had enough self respect not to sit around watching This Morning (I elected to sleep in until the afternoon) so the last time I paid him much attention would have been the Going Live/Childrens' BBC days. He's not someone whose life I've ever felt the need to ponder.

That said, this doesn't seem like a big surprise. A friend attended a pride parade recently and said that Schofield was something of a gay icon. Literally - there was a group of men carrying a big photo of him around. I assumed his sexuality was at the very least an open secret type of thing.

[derek stitt]

So will Schofield still pally up with a prime minister who referred to him as a tank topped wearing bum boy or continue being nasty to that awful Mr Corbyn?

[steve98]

I know right, who actually cares

My Mother-In-Law will care a lot; she's only just got over the shock of Liberace.

I guess this is technically a hate crime now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iat50AHOm94

His little squeal when he gets tackled is very funny.

[George White]

My Mum's like that but with John Barrowman, keeps on going about how "It's such a shame", as if he was straight he'd be interested in a depressed seventy six year old.

I remember being mum being like this, with Richard Chamberlain.

[Puce Moment]

My Mum is also like this about George Michael (really). I keep saying, "Mum, he's gay."

[madhair60]

He's not just gay, he's dead.

[imitationleather]

He's not just gay, he's dead.

YOU WOT?!

[Puce Moment]

He's not just gay, he's dead.

I'd be homophobic just for him.

It was big news. I don't know how you or your apparently stupid mother missed it.

[Shit Good Nose]

Very odd morose reporting on this - the BBC are almost treating it as if he's died or revealed terminal cancer or something.

It'd be nice to live in a world where someone's sexuality isn't big top of headlines news to be honest.  I don't mean that in a "gays shoving it in our faces way" (I'm bi), but in a "it should be so accepted that it's just met with a collective shrug" way.

To be fair, I think it's only the length of time which has made it bigger news than it otherwise would be, plus his family and that.  It's a very different situation from, I dunno, a 19 year old pop star revealing that they're gay.


Prince Andrew physically and medically incapable of being gay, of course.
