To be annoyed that Stonewall got money from Wheel of Fortune tonight?

Given the huge controversy surrounding them, I was a bit annoyed that they got money donated (and free prime-time publicity) from Wheel of Fortune this evening. Considering making a complaint to ITV...

I hate it when they choose animal charities. What a waste.

Complete irrelevance to the thread aside, I now only support animal charities because of people with snide, dictatorial attitudes like yours, so feel free to go cry a river over it.

I imagine because gay charities are close to their heart. Why shouldn't they give to charities that deal with the issues some of them have faced.

But Stonewall does not represent gay people! That's the entire point here.

Wow, you judge people's charity donation choices becuse you deem them unworthy
How sodding arrogant and entitled can you get??

It's a 'charity' organisation that does not believe women and girls are human beings, and human beings deserving of basic human rights. They believe that homosexuality is "sexual racism", @Vousnepouvezpasdiscuteravecdesstupides .

How can you justify some bigot pouring money into that group of misogynistic homsexual bigotry?

"I don't like it therefore it shouldn't be on TV and I'm going to complain and it should be removed."

This is exactly the same TRA tactics employed when someone they don't like is on stage etc and then the GC crowd go nuts at the censorship.

The hypocrisy is unreal.

No one is saying it should be 'removed'. They are simply saying that the level of homophobia and hateful misogynistic bigotry should be called out. That.is.all!

SoreAndTired1 · 25/02/2024 12:18

@kitsuneghost Animal charities are far more morally valuable than the hate-filled misogynistic bigoted attacks on women and girls basic human rights.

NoMoreFalafelsForYou · 25/02/2024 12:20

Assuming they're a registered charity, it's not for ITV to judge whether they're an appropriate recipient or not
This. Slippery slope if you start policing what charities can and can't be donated to.

Interested to hear about the good work Stonewall are doing in schools, maybe G/Cock will be commissioned to present a programme about it now. Then he'll walk the runway to screaming applause, an audience of story telling drag queen's and sex clowns. Fetishists & Furries will gather at the stage door wearing surplus Masked Singer costumes from ITV and everyone will live happily ever after in the land of Cock.

I understand the issues and concerns about Stonewall specifically but moaning about gay people "always" donating to gay charities in general just sounds homophobic tbh

I was answering the rather homophobic poster who wanted to know why gay people donated to gay charities.

😂 That's quite the fevered imagination you have there, I'll have whatever you're on 🤣

They'll only piss it up the wall anyway.

I'd go to that. Sounds fun.

Same 😁

Urrggh I always found Gok Wan's shows to be horrific. Women, get completely naked in front of loads of people and let us film it then you will love your body. Obviously that's absolutely the best way to get someone to love themselves and not just a tacky, weird, gratuitous thing to try and get people to watch the show at all. And didn't he back stage call the models 'dirty little sluts' and was really horrible to them?

I think he's probably a vile woman hater and so his support of Stonewall is understandable really.

I hear that, but I don’t think ITV would allow someone to donate to the LGB Alliance or Fair Play for Women so there are double standards at play

Reported you for homophobia. You can'r generalise about a whole group on the basis of their sexuality, and I'm amazed that you don't know this.

You don’t like a charity so no one else is entitled to either?

Entitled much?

Charities should be open to scrutiny so not entitlement

scorpiogirly · 25/02/2024 12:57

It's not a gay charity anymore. It couldn't be more homophobic if it tried.

I'm not homophobic. One of my closest friends is a gay man (whose favourite charities are animal rescue ones). I was just wondering something based on my own observations of celebs on TV donating to charities. But I won't say any more. Cheers.

And every racist has a black/asian friend 🙄

YABU.

We live in a democracy with charity rules. People are allowed to hold different views, that's what a democracy means.

Campaign for them to be stripped of their charitable status if you are opposed to them, but don't moan about freedom and democracy.

😂 Is this the homophobic equivalent of I can't be racist, I have a black friend!

Haha! This reminds me of those stories about people donating entire estates to their cats so their grabby families don’t get anything.

I'm happy about it! Gok is a good person 🙂

People can donate to whatever charity they choose, not my business, but he really is not a good person. Definitely not the lovely supportive person he appeared to be on how to look good naked - actually he used to slag off the women taking part off camera.

I am not justifying their philosphy ffs. Calm down darling.
I am justifying the right to place/spend one's money where the hell one likes.
Gentle parenting is a bollox approach to rearing children, but I am not going to diss the right to do it. Their kids, their choice.
