Simon is totally gay and out about it. He did some jokes about his boyfriend that he had broken up with awhile back. He was dating someone. I hope they sell their story.:tongue:

I dont think he's hot at all. I dont watch buzzcocks but I use to love him on Popworld with Miqueta Oliver. They were so sarky about all the popstars they had on their show! I think half the pop world were boycotting them by the end of their last series coz they'd offended so many of them.
Big respect to him for always being out & proud too. He's certainly not a gay stereotype. A great example of how you can be an openly gay celebrity without any sensationalism.

He would totally call out gay closeted celebrities to their faces. He would give a banana with his phone number on it to homophobic rappers.

Agree with you XCUZE. He's always been completely unimpressed by puffed-up "celebrities" and takes any opportunity to bring them down a peg or two. Good on him for that. Most "celebrities" with a sense of humour are happy to have the piss ripped out of them and realise that it's just an excuse for a cheap joke at their expense. It's only the precious ones that take offence.
A good example of that was Harry Judd, from McFly, on this week's "Buzzcocks". He knew that he was going to be the whipping boy for Simon's humour and took it (and retaliated) with good grace. Whether or not you like McFly, he represented his bandmates well and came away in a good light - unlike some of the C-list poseurs (Preston from The Ordinary Boys comes to mind!) who are so far up themselves that they actually think that they are important.
As for Simon's sexuality, it's just a throwaway comment most of the time, like his Jewish heritage. So it should be, it's no more relevant than if someone is fat, bald or wears glasses.

Ah, well, Jason. Now you know how we feel when our US colleagues make references to your celebrities, without telling us who they are! Even more annoying, when they refer to things like "Big Brother 6", rather than "Big Brother US 6" - forgetting that we originated the format (although strictly speaking, the Dutch did).
