It takes a certain amount of underthinking to believe that Philip Schofield has been flopped from ITV because he had a completely above board five times assignations with MM and with MM being his very first lover!
Also, the bullshit that is too popular amongst too many low key homophobic straight women on Mumsnet with their fantasy that visitation to a woman's vagina renders a self declared gay man , who with his wife has NO sexual chemistry, makes him bisexual.
The world is full of children whose gay fathers died of AIDS. The world is full of graves of women who contracted AIDS from their husbands who they didn't know we're gay. It is known that some men who are VERY performatively straight, with a bag of children for a bag of women can be found , legs behind their ears of a night, being their true selves which is most certainly not bisexual.
That some messy Gold Star gay man told a naive, homophobic woman that a real gay man wouldn't be able to fuck a woman says more about him and his superiority complex pertaining to his fellow gay brethren, amongst whom he most certainly would have entertained more than a few of non Golf Star status as sexual loneliness would be his only other option.
I have noticed for years the obvious undercurrent of homophobia from so called educated women on Mumsnet , quick to deny or minimise gayness as something other, convinced that noting a man is gay is an act of homophobia more than their speed to erase male same sex monosexuality if they can, with a straight face ( pardon the pun).
Pity Pussy by deception cannot erase a gay man into being a bisexual man. Ask a woman who has found her life to be a lie as her ex came out as gay, not bisexual and she has a constant head ache from all the pennies, dropping when she chooses to honestly look back on their union.
Philip Schofield was assumed to be gay by many who had no idea he was married and for that reason alone, his dramatic " coming out" alerted them to something " not being clean in the milk". I'm of that crowd. He looked like a typical whip thin , boyish in a dishonest light, needs to cut back on the sniff gay man of a certain age and lifestyle to me.
I have never entertained him being lusted after by a female truly in touch with her sexuality past the age of 16 , last century....much less him being with a woman. He doesn't project that type of virility like a lot of gay men do if one doesn't know them and even then!
But I don't live under a rock.
I will say this, though. Philip Schofield is no " mid range" narcissist; there actually seems to be a bit of foresight and Plan Bism to his machinations as opposed to the usual sole ability of the average narc to long term reel in only the grasping, the weak, the vain,, the crowd pleaser who is quick to " sheeple!" those who don't want to be a part of their shenanigans and those with similarly shaky identies masked with "confident paranoia" and Comparison Syndrome.
