A British homosexual journalist admits that his documentary on the London gay scene is likely to "burn every bridge in the gay world I've got."
Simon Fanshawe is a writer and broadcaster who created the documentary "The Trouble With Gay Men" after becoming increasingly alarmed at the shallowness and destructiveness of the "gay lifestyle." The film, made for BBC 3 television, questions the emotional and psychological immaturity, narcissism, nihilism and self-destructive tendencies of many in the homosexual community. Fanshawe says he wants homosexual men to "grow up" and get beyond their state of "extended adolescence."
Fanshawe, who was involved in the early homosexualist political movement, says, "We've fought discrimination and prejudice, only to wreck ourselves with drugs and wild sex."
In his documentary Fanshawe admits that the homosexualist movement has in the main achieved its political goals of equalising homosexuality with natural sexual relations, in abolishing laws against sodomy and creating legal equivalency with marriage and adoption. Given these achievements, Fanshawe asks, "Why do we seem hell bent on behaving like eternal teenagers?"
"We're hooked on vanity, and regard older men with contempt. Despite AIDS we're still chasing the ultimate sexual high and what's more are determined to wreck ourselves on designer drugs. We're happy to assist the straight world in keeping alive the image of all gay men as limp-wristed queens."
He says that he has recently "started to worry" about the ways in which "gay liberation is celebrated" in his hometown of Brighton, a major centre of the homosexual subculture. At the annual "Mr. Gay" beauty pageant, which he describes as a "pathetic display of self-delusion", Fanshawe tells a contestant, "I'm old enough to remember when all those women were fighting against Miss World...What we're all saying about ourselves is that actually to be really gay, properly gay, what you've got to be is cute, and young."
"Extreme vanity" he says, has been "sewn into gay culture." It "is now so mainstream in the gay community that otherwise intelligent young men are happy to be treated as sex objects on a demeaning meat rack."
Gay men, he says, are so "hardwired" towards finding casual sexual encounters, some going as far as plastic implants to enhance their appearance, that finding genuine intimacy is "practically impossible."
"Vast amounts of our leisure time are organised around sex, straight or gay. But what gay men have done is organise our identity around sex. And that is corrosive. And to make things worse, promiscuity has become the norm."
The documentarian asks the proprietor of a gay sex bath house, "Paul", who had just related some graphic stories of group sexual encounters in the establishment, "Are we just swimming around in a sewer which we're just sort of saying is normal?"
For objecting to the lifestyle of pursuing casual and "extreme" sex and for holding genuine human intimacy as a goal, Paul told Fanshawe that he is "the closest thing to a straight person in a gay man's body I have ever met. There should be an operation for you, dear."
Paul was adamant and forthright in his belief that the gay lifestyle is incompatible with happiness and fidelity in human relations, expressing his dissatisfaction with civil unions legislation. "The temptation of other things will always stand in the way of two gay men having a long-term, loving, caring relationship."
Fanshawe says he is horrified at the lack of emotional involvement and at the willingness of men to engage in "unsafe sex." The film includes statistics that show the deadly consequences of the homosexual lifestyle. One in nine gay men in London is HIV infected and new cases of HIV have doubled in the city in five years. Incidences of syphilis have increased in the same time period 616 per cent.
"Unsafe" sex, he says, is not the only way in which gay men are self destructive. "If there's a new drug, gay men will find it and take it," he states.
At one point Fanshawe interviews a homosexual man who has "done all the drugs" and now campaigns in gay clubs against the growing use of crystal methamphetamine. The man, who could not be identified for fear of reprisals from drug dealers, said that crystal meth is preferred in the gay community because it reduces the inhibitions and allows sex to be brought to an "animalistic" level "devoid of emotion." The film says that one in five gay men in London use crystal meth.
Paging Howard Stern...

This is very true. Gay friends I new in college were incredibly promiscuous. Would pick up people off the street....or have a random rumpy pumpy in a back room at a party.
Yes, you are.
Men want sex.
We balance each other, but when 2 men or 2 women are involved romantically, it is just men=sex/women=unrealistic love fantasies that can't last.
Men destroy themselves in the pursuit of sex
Women lose the luster and go on to another romantic high.
I've seen in many times in gay couples.
Drugs and wild sex have always been there methinks. So, to rewrite his sentence: "We've wrecked ourselves with drugs and wild sex, no wonder we are subject to discrimination and prejudice."
Wow, it looks like this documentary will go a long way to proving many of the things I always though about the “gay lifestyle”. That’s great. I wonder if we’ll be able to access it here in the states?
Oh, and I forgot to add to my post.........my gay friends were among some of the worst drug users I’d ever seen. Really sad. :( I loved them, dearly, but never condoned their lifestyle. A lot of sad stories of broken homes, neglect, and abuse.
A friend’s wife works with a gay guy. He moved from the heartland to a local bigger city with a large gay population. He was supposedly a nice guy, naive. He hated the materialistic and also hedonistic lifestyle described in this article. He also said the drug use was beyond rampant. He abhored the “scene.” He vowed never to become a victim of the fast lane.
Fast forward a year or two later and the subject came up. The guy got hooked on crank or hillbilly heroin - I forget what the other name is but highly addictive. It is rampant in the heartland thanks to illegal drug dealers from Mexico.
His teeth started rotting which this drug causes, he wrecked his life, engaged in anything & everything and almost ended up dead. A terrible case of alcoholism would be a walk in the park by comparison.
She is a Christian but fairly socially liberal but votes GOP. She said her biggest fear is that any of her sons would end up gay because the lifestyle is so incredibly destructive it is not to be believed. She said the stories made her hair stand on end and she is no shrinking violet.
Many of these people have devised countless and untold number of ways to spread viruses and infectious disease without the slightest clue of the conseqences of their actions. They have zero clue or concern about biology, immunology, etc.
Coincidentally, I thought the same thing about a couple of lesbian tenants I had last year. Their childlike behaviors were unnerving. And, they had difficulty living up to the terms of the lease in that they didn't understand that * no * meant * no * So, they would pull little tricks like spreading nails all over the driveway. Or, knocking out a porch light... then telling me that they knew how to fix it. The final straw was when they knocked out one of my tail lights and stole all my tools. They were nuts.
One of them actually had the nerve to ask me for a reference recently... NOT...
It’ll probably be blacklisted, both here and there.
This takes courage.
it’s taken him years of observation to learn what anyone honest knows instinctively at first sight.
Florida needs to get this man over to our state and use his evidence and statements that homo’s should not have access to children by adoption or fostering
It is time that more journo’
s went to homo areas and these freak parades so the public can see what they are like and I am sure that when these I don’t care people see the video’s they will now care enough to vote and get involved.
They are only 3% of the population so why should they silence the 97% majority
“Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.”
“This revolution consisted of forcing the sexual genie into the marital bottle. It ensured that sex no longer dominated society, heightened male-female love and sexuality (and thereby almost alone created the possibility of love and eroticism within marriage), and began the arduous task of elevating the status of women.”

every homosexual I have ever come across seems to have mental problems which stem from childhood.
no father
mother raising her son like a girl
no guidance
daughter feels more affection to women because mother went through a bad divorce and constantly put down men
etc
etc
etc
homo’s always seem to crave attention and are certainly like the man said on his video very immature, sometimes it is like dealing with a 5 year old dealing with homosexual men.
one guy who was our waiter was less mature than our 5 year old and he would make suggestive comments to my7 wife and I but to me mostly and it was disgusting.
Remember the firemen who were told of the homo lesbo firechief that they had to go on one of those homosexual parades
the firemen said they could not believe the comments what were said to them, one said we firemen and some military are used to hearing all sorts but the comments by the homosexuals At the parade were totally disgusting.
It seems their whole life is based on sex

Not surprising at all. Look at those who the homosexual community hold up as their most ‘conservative’ members - people like Andrew Sullivan. He is considered a conservative Republican by many homosexual leftist elites and look at what happened to him. He was involved in an AIDS virus barebacking scandal of which the details are too disgusting for words. And yet he is considered a ‘conservative’. That tells you everything you need to know about the insanity of that lifestyle.
The late Randy Shilts documented it all years ago with pitiless clarity in “And the Band Played On.” The HBO movie based on it was considerably sanitized. With all the acceptance and tolerance and education, nothing’s changed in 25 years.
