Just that - Is Andy Day from cbeebies Gay?
It seems to be a topic of great speculation with no actual answers.

Who? And who cares?

RaptorInaPorkPieHat · 18/10/2016 16:26

Does it matter?

PolarBearLover14 · 18/10/2016 16:28

No it doesn't matter, i'm just curious. (I'm allowed to be)

Are you having sex with him?

If not, not your business :)

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/10/2016 16:31

We don't speculate about who's straight. Because straight is the 'norm' and therefore 'normal'. Hence the silliness of 'coming out'.

Why we can't just assume anyone could be gay or straight or bi or nothing and it's none of our business unless we're shagging them.

BorpBorpBorp · 18/10/2016 16:32

Even if you are having sex with him, it's not your business unless he decides to tell you.

DonkeyOaty · 18/10/2016 16:33

Oh fgs.

PolarBearLover14 · 18/10/2016 16:36

Yeah FGS, I didn't realise curiosity was a sin these days Hmm

(I get what you mean though Mrs Terry Pratchett)

I miss my daily dose of Andy Day, my DC are 11 and 12 now and too old for me to watch without it seeming creepy! Him and Sporticus were my cbeebie crushes.

Count2three · 18/10/2016 16:46

I assumed straight but no idea.

JinkxMonsoon · 18/10/2016 16:46

Coming out isn't "silly". We still live in a world where gay people face hate and discrimination and shame, and that's why we still need high profile people to come out. Young gay people need role models in the media proving that being gay is totally fine.

That's badly explained but hopefully you'll get my gist.

As for whether Andy Day is gay - dunno. Bit hopefully he'll let you know one day if he is Grin

MadameCholetsDirtySecret · 18/10/2016 16:48

I can't understand why you would care so much to start a thread about it.

quencher · 18/10/2016 16:54

Leave my dd's favourite person a lone. No need to speculate.

coffeetasteslikeshit · 18/10/2016 16:56

Der! Obviously the OP has a crush and needs to know his sexuality in order to determine whether or not he deserves a place on her list. No point in having someone on there who wouldn't shag you if you were the last women on earth is there?

AlmaMartyr · 18/10/2016 16:57

I think this is really inappropriate. It's none of your business.

RedPaint37 · 18/10/2016 16:59

he's my dd's favourite presenter too. I understand, like coffee says, you need to know if there's any chance you're in with a hypothetical chance!

cbigs · 18/10/2016 17:03

Jeez op I think you're getting a hard time here, its totally the sort of thing we think about some people for various reasons and totally the sort of convo is have or I've had with friends on many an occasion! ! I would hazard a guess at yes for stereotypical reasons but don't know! And you could have said is he straight too , why can't we be interested in other people? Hmm

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 18/10/2016 17:03

Totally agree.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 18/10/2016 17:08

It's not something I've ever asked myself TBH!

GreenishMe · 18/10/2016 17:10

casualbikeride · 18/10/2016 17:11

thedancingbear · 18/10/2016 17:12
