Nicola Sturgeon says her sexuality isn't binary

[cigarsmokingwoman]

In the sun newspaper and I think also on STV news (according to my DM)

Aye right! 😂😂😂

Sturgeon being a lesbian married to a gay
not a big story

Sturgeon being a liar who tried to destroy the rights of all other lesbians and gays
BIG story

The first time I've genuinely laughed out loud on Mumnset for about 10 years!!

This one and the CF Oxford graduate gardener thread are pure old mumnent!

I'm not interested in her sexuality but the rest of the article is in even poorer taste and I don't want to talk about it at all.

I'd pay money to see Nicola Sturgeon at the Book Festival explaining herself to the Wheeshters. Who were not invited, despite local and bestseller, because they aren't nice enough, but apparently Sturgeon and her book are. In some people's eyes anyway.

Apart from that, meh.

Same. Ewww 🤮

Who?

I mean really, who the hell is going to buy that book?

Sorry @MarieDeGournay !

Well, I think she's in love with herself, so it makes sense.

Trying to deflect from the fact that she has utterly broken Scotland. She has trampled over women, fucked public services and left a trail of destruction behind her. Who gives a fuck about her private life. How long will it take for Scotland to recover from her public life.

Personally, I do think it is relevant information. I don’t judge her for being a lesbian, I do judge her for concealing it. Especially because she was spearheading controversial legislation in a field where it seems she has “skin in the game”.

She's doing a Philip Schofield. "Here's my stunning and brave announcement about my sexuality. Look at that, not all the shitstorm of trouble I created!"

Goodness me. Next thing her husband/ex husband will be announcing he’s gay! 😮😆

Is she not dating Val McDermid? Sure I saw a photo of them looking cosy in a pub ages ago?

Fascinating.

Nobody cares who you want to shag, Nicola.

If you genuinely think that then you have serious brain issues.
She's not being mocked for her sexuality she's being mocked for behaving like an absolute asshole while having absolute power in Scotland, and now trying to use her sexuality to deflect from how much damage she did while in power.
I don't believe your post was in good faith. No one can be that stupid and still remember to breathe.

Or pansexual... lock up your pans.

Yup.

I, like most Scottish voters, could not give one single flying fuck about Sturgeon's sexuality.

We care more about the fact she took our country from somewhere to be proud of to the absolute laughing stock of the world due to her (and her Government's) utter failures on a number of issues.

Um, actually, it's not just you..

In fact, Sturgeon could be stoating down Princes Street right now, gieing every adult Festival goer the glad eye and I'd still be more interested in finding out how she managed to fuck up the nation in such a spectacular fashion.

Is it?
Anyway, if she's happy and he's hapoy then that's what matters.
I did wonder if she was secretly lesbian and had felt societal pressure to marry/have a male partner, but also thought it wasn't really my business either.

Doesn't Val have a long term partner?

I'll listen to the audio version.

I'm interested to read the reviews, the endorsements published on Amazon are all rather fawning.

Well if - as many people in Scotland - you loathe and abhor Ms Sturgeon and everything she stands for, you're not going to spend 1p of your own money to read her ponderings and misrememberings, are you? I wouldn't give that woman a penny of my money, ever. So the only people who are buying this nonsense (written while still a serving MSP, still supposed to be serving her constituents and earning £80k as a MSP) are the SNP faithful or those from outwith Scotland who have no clue what damage the woman has done.

Agree that at one point we had Kez Dugdale and Ruth Davidson heading up Labour and the Conservatives in Scotland, both openly gay and married to women. Patrick Harvie (the Greens chap) defines himself as bisexual. There are many, many other figures in Scottish public life who are not heterosexual. Sturgeon married in 2010 when she was 40. This was not some wee lassie who married in her teens and hadn't realised that actually she wasn't 100% straight.

She really does think the Scottish electorate have heads which button up the back if she really thinks she convinced anyone she was in a genuine, loving marriage. That's what bothers people, the lying and the disrespect. Also while during Covid she was forbidding us from doing anything for much much longer than other parts of the UK, she was allegedly having a gay old time with her "friends" in other houses. I couldn't even go to my friend's house for a coffee and a slice of cake.
