I seriously doubt he is gay at all. Probably just a publicity stunt to boost 'This Morning' ratings. Would explain why his wife doesn't seem too bothered.
Phillip Schofield comes out as gay

Yes, this sounds like exactly the sort of thing Phillip Schofield would make up as a publicity stunt.
He was part of the Clinton pizza thing too, it's being talked about and it's all going to come out soon.
Also, Epstein was knocked off by Trump's associates as Epstein was about to out Schofield. Trump negotiated a prime slot on This Morning in exchange for Epstein being silenced. You just need to look in the right places, it's all out there if you do your own research.

holy **** balls - and not a hint of sarcasm?!
You might want to check my post history.
Apologies though, yes, I was talking ****!
Edit: Though I'm quite proud I got the tone exactly right and I came across as one of those.....

There's not a facepalm big enough in the world for this.
Soldato
No, I think the apology is mine to make.
edit: so glad I didn’t post the full on rant I had prepared.
There is some truth to these things, gets mixed with non truths also. Why shouldn't Schofield be involved in anything sinister like Saville, Epstein, Weinstein and many more were?

Well he outed someone as a pedophile when he was interviewing David Cameron that time. Unfortunately he was wrong and got sued if I recall. Same as Sally Bercow.

You have the bullying the wrong way around. "Offended" is a weapon, a means of asserting superior status. That's why "offended" only matters when the person using it as a weapon either has a higher status group identity than the person they're using it against or is claiming to be championing a higher status group identity. It's more like a bully punching someone and forcing them to apologise for hitting the bully's fist.

Ah, so by telling you that you've hurt their feelings then they actually hurt your feelings.
Expertly explained; you win, I concede etc etc.
Not sure where you got that from.
Outrage is a tool, you only have to look around to see this. People don't just get offended, they "get offended" then start demanding people do what they want them to, otherwise they'll "get offended" some more, and start rabble rousing on Twitter and the other toilets of the internet.
Then there are petitions and people start losing their jobs and other assorted madness. Outrage is a tool, a weapon, a means of exerting power and gaining control.
It's bleeding obvious most of the time.

feels that way
I’m finding hard to believe someone would get married, have kids, live most their life and the wake up one morning and be like, ‘oh, I’m quite partial to a bit of **** actually.’
plus as said, why doesn’t his wife seem bothered, it’s kinda a big thing for a marriage I would have thought

You're generalising about a lot of things that haven't actually happened here, whereas I was discussing something specific to the conversation. Your comment could be valid in certain cases, but not this one IMO.
Here's a reminder of the actual context.
The point being, if someone decides to come out and then gets subjected to lewd jokes about their recently announced sexuality, they might just find that offensive. I'm inclined to believe them, even if the person telling the jokes thinks it's actually hilarious - let's be honest, they would.
People don't like having errors of judgement or outdated views pointed out to them, which is why they attempt to normalise and ridicule.

Wait, people are actually being serious in thinking he's not gay and it's all a publicity stunt ?
Dear lord this forum really does attract some 'special' types

Not to me it wasn’t, camp as Christmas.
The fact my satirical post was taken as being serious and challenged by someone and someone actually tried to jump on it as something they'd heard as well tells you a lot.

No, people don't like being told they are homophobic, racist or sexist for making a joke at the expense of someone from one of these groups. Why are they excluded from being the subject of jokes?
My partner didn't realise that Narwhals were an actual animal until about 6 months ago. Shes in her 30s. Maybe we should all have been more thoughtful and told her how proud we were of her strength to admit this instead of taking the ****. Not everything that isn't over the top praise and support for a minority group is an "ism" or a negative thing. The gay community has jokes about straight men and women. Thats fine. Its a joke and they are allowed to do that.
Our friend who is gay hates a lot of aspects of the gay community and culture. Does that make him self hating and homophobic? Is he allowed to joke about them?
Its just far too easy for people to just express righteous anger when anyone does something related to these protected groups and if you try to explain that there was no nastiness to it you are just told that you are trying to justify it or that you are part of the problem. Microagressions innit.
