Now the press is alight with the innuendo that he may have, gasp slept in the same room as one of his close aids so that makes him gay in the eye's of the gutter press including the BBC, personally I don't flippin well care if he "travels on the other bus", does it make him bad!??, my cousin and one of me best mates like to "bat for the other team" and they are really really nice lads, so to me this is a bit of a none story.
OK so there are some who this kind of thing is abhorrent due to their religious beliefs again that's their right I guess, but for me each to is own, OK so it doesn't float my boat but that's fine, many people don't like flying model planes and some hate us/me for doing so again that's their problem and not mine unless they get all upset with me that is!.
So BBC, news the daily Mail etc, please give us some real news and stop trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill as normal.

    Here here.

    I feel sorry for the two men. And it sounds like this story couldn't have come at a worse time for Haig and his wife as it is. Who cares if he is or isn't gay anyway. :roll:

    I always feel sorry for those who have done no wrong in the eyes of most people but who are hunted down for cheapy 'headline' reasons and nothing else.

    As Mell says, each to their own. As long as it isn't harming anyone else and isn't frightening the horses, let 'em alone!

    Hi BC and all, hmmm can't get me head around tango man, he say's how nice they are then slates them in the next breath, and if he's the peace envoy to Palastine then why the hell is he not at the Middle east peace talks right now!?, and why does he think anyone here want's to hear his take on reality as it's so far from it it's mind boggling to anyone with half a brain.

    well, it was bound to happen, the press were just waiting to pounce on any gossip that involves the new government. As most of us would think, "oh right, so what" and carry on as normal. If he is, or is not gay, it doesn't matter a jot, it is 2010 and people who think that such life choices are the work of the devil, are so narrow minded that you could not make it up.

    It is immaterial, but these 'rumours' have surfaced before and WH doesn't do much to discredit them. He has kept his marriage a private business and that is a good thing, but I do feel for his wife now:why should she have to have that private grief trotted out to satisfy the grubby press we have today? It has only fuelled speculation - as some commentator said why assume WH was the father? Own-goal, William, shame on you for dragging Ffion into this sordid mess. I will not be buying TBs book, or PMs or GBs - that will be along soon, no doubt. Ghastly bunch of people, one and all. DD

    This is during the Annual Press Silly Season, dreaming up really stupid, rubbish stories for the gullible. Not worth bothering with or commenting on.

    Nuff said.

    It's a comment on the APSS not the story itself. So, no in this case.

    The only stupid thing William Hague has done is employ a man not mature enough to deal with these sort of stories.......
    I mean come on hands up who hasnt had a sleepover with friends or shared a bed/room for one reason or another, bet most of you can say you have - does it make you gay no? Speaking as a gay woman it doesnt quite go like that...I can understand WH coming out and giving that statement as these press people are just roaches and there's only so much one person can take....Okay he said too much but he must have consulted his wife.....I hope he doesnt resign cos of this cos he's an okayish politician.....
    One other thing i didnt recognise him in that casual outfit of jeans, baseball cap n sunnies...Think it takes years off him!

    Does any of it really matter? Surely it's his ability to do his work that counts, not his out-of-hours habits. DD

    William Hague was born and brought up in Rotherham, the same as me. He lived just down the road from me.

    He is a down-to -earth Yorkshireman, and I don't believe that he would have married Ffion if he had been gay. I don't think he would have been in denial about it.

    Well he is a down to earth yorkshire man and that hasnt changed neither has his marriage although some gay men/women have been known to marry to fit in with family expectations/society perceptions.
    Nothing i can see suggests to me he may ever bat for the other team, you usually get strong signs with people that gives it away........
