Absolutely wrong. Victor Willis (the cop) is/was the only straight guy in the group.

Common guys........thats the most silly conversation i m reading here .........who cares who's gay and who's str8 ?????? there is such and hypocrisy and conservativeness around and you just miss the game and the numbers......i m openly gay , am extremely manly looking and try to have a manly behaviour....i have worked in many gay bars in my life and i ended in 2 things taken through my experience 1. you never know who's gay untill you see him on a bed with another man and 2. many str8 men want to try other men but don 't dare (because of society, way of growing up ....) and many gay men wish they were born as str8s (because of the society again)
Am not trying to convince anybody for this, its just my 9 years experience as a bartender...i only know that people must try and have the best moments in their lives, be happy and smile and care and be lovable...str8 or gay...

Not the most flattering description of our Neil! I don't think he is droll...in fact he is extremely interesting to listen to.

Not true. A little research goes a long way.

If you think "droll" means the opposite to "interesting" then you need a dictionary.

whats the research technique, propositioning each member one by one on the street?

Hi LadBottomForFun,

Thanks for your genuinely good-hearted and absolutely reasonable take on things. You sound like a really cool guy. It must be wonderful to be a bartender in Greece- seriously! I bet you're good-looking too.

But for the rest of us who aren't as lucky as you:

"Common guys........thats the most silly conversation i m reading here .........who cares who's gay and who's str8 ?????? "

An immense amount of people, like employers, landlords and people in everyday life still care an immense amount, apparently. In many parts of the US there is no law banning discrimination against gay people in jobs and housing, and efforts to fight for equal rights for gay people are vigorously opposed by well-funded conservative Christians, supporting the Republican Party. In much of America, you can still lose your job and your home if you're gay. There is no law that forbids this discrimination.

Lists like this may seem silly, but they show the immense progress that gay people have made VERY recently to be accepted as citizens and human beings. I applaud the Independent and, more broadly, I applaud the UK in general as a society that's been at the forefront of tolerance- no, acceptance!- of the many amazing gay people who contibute to society as a whole.
