Seeing as he’s not out that’s a really hypocritical invasion of privacy there BS.
so much for live and let live
Sam
True, it’s only newsworthy if there’s some conflict of interest, such as the guy doing a story on Varadkar or FG in general, (if they were more than just acquaintances at the time).
steve white
the chances are he will being doing a stories on him
Slugger
Stay classy, Broadsheet.
Dee
Tabloid manure.

Why are people giving out about broadsheet, it was The Village that printed the story in the first place.
Gers
Who cares more like. Can we drop this non-news now?
Joe the Lion
Such trite irrefutably pointless banter about non-issues and non-people.

This piece was alluded to by a commenter yesterday. A response suggested that it was the subject of legal action.
Leela2011
Yeah, I guessed who it was from the commenter. Bad form posting and people alluding to who it is in comments.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Ivan’s his fella?
andyourpointiswhatexactly
They do have quite a feisty relationship sometimes.
I like Chris: I know he annoys people (and me sometimes) with his useless interviewing technique but he’s a nice guy.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Who’s Chris
Is Leo two timing?
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Chris Donoghue: I though you were saying Ivan and Chris were beaux. The story here is Chris and Leo are beaux. Les beaux. Lesbian. Which they are not.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
A ffs. Who’s Leo doing a line wi’
Chris don’t know who he is
Or Blueshirt Troll Ivan
Je Suis Frilly Keane
BTW I was going t’ask
Who’s Leo jagging?
But thought the BS sensitivity protocols mightn’t tolerate local lingo
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Chris is the new man-anchor on the UTV Ireland 10pm news show. He does the morning breakfast show on Newstalk too, with Ivan. I dunno when he meets Leo anymore as the guy works bonkers hours.
Convince your friends. Then you could refer to them as your beau peeps.
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Even better if they were all shorter than you are.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Sheep?
Ah here
andyourpointiswhatexactly
No, pervert! Little beau peeps.
Don Pidgeoni
All of this is gold. I don’t have to wear frills though do I?
Joe the Lion
wake up little sheeple
Je Suis Frilly Keane
I dunno Don
Would’ ja be game
Don Pidgeoni
I want thrills not frills, ta.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Wrong Minister so
Happy Molloy
doubt it!
Dubloony
Did Leo know about this before the radio interview?
Rep
Miriam Lord said that a few papers were trying to find the info to out him. I assumed that it was tabloids trying to do it. For some reason, I did not expect it to be the village.
Joe the Lion
It was strongly alluded to on this weeks ago. big fupping deal
Rep
It might well be a big deal to the people involved.
The spilling of this guy’s personal life and preferences is pure SPIN in its crassest form, FG know well what they’re doing; hanging out in Pantibar was merely Step 1 of their co-opting of a conservative with a Capital C gay lifestyle!! To try and contextualise this, I present some excerpts from an interesting review of the film Pride from out.com: http://www.out.com/news-opinion/2014/09/30/pride-film-mark-simpson-remembers-lgsm
The reviewer helpfully points out how “gays on the make were to become the hot pink shock troops of Thatcherite individualism. After all, no one believed in the power of money, shopping, and personal reinvention more than they did. The “gay lifestyle” was to take off in the late ’80s, largely replacing gay politics in the ’90s and eventually becoming a straight aspiration.”
Sounds right up FG’s alley, no?
Another interesting point made in said review probably relates more directly to the UK as I am ignorant to how ideologically “left” the gay rights movement in Ireland actually is/was:
“Pride is a timely reminder that the revolution in the way our society thinks about and treats gender and sexuality came from the left and its ideals of solidarity not just the atomising nature of consumerism and individualism. And certainly not by the design of our first woman Prime Minister with her “Victorian values.” Thatcher fan-boy David Cameron’s introduction of same sex marriage was intended as a rewriting of history, a brazen co-option of all the heavylifting victories for gay equality by the left in the previous years in the teeth of vehement opposition by his own “nasty party” and its many allies in the press. (And by him personally: only a decade ago Cameron voted twice against the repeal of Section 28 the second time in a free vote.)”
Take note of this cynical rewriting of political beliefs and their celebration by our exceptionally conservative media. Certainly the majority of out Gays in the mainstream media “opinion” positions of note on this septic isle tend to be of the uber conservative bent (if you excuse the pun), including Leo’s alleged beau, Mullally et al…
Joe the Lion
The majority? What about David Norris, Stephen Fry, Paul that lad who does stand up?
Irish media opinion as in work in the news media and/or are paid to write opinion pieces regularly and/or are, not QI presenters, senators or stand up performers
Joe the Lion
ok fair
rotide
Is Una Mullaly gay? Didn’t know that.
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Heh.
andyourpointiswhatexactly
Unless you were being serious, in which case: “Yup, she is”.
Atlas
Strange, BS usually nukes the comments section when someone so much as alludes to dear Una’s sexuality. I guess it would be hypocritical for them to do that under a post outing someone.
Fuppin’ hypocrites.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Maybe she’s not high profile enough
Or not in a fancy enough gig
Or maybe she hadn’t a well known partner
Or
.. WTF
It never occurred t’me to wonder about who she slow dances with
Yet here I am
Good work Fine Gays Ya Are
Ye’ve changed the news cycle
They’ll be a tribe of labourers coming out next time on Marian Miriam Ryan Brendan Joe what ever yer having yerself
And we’ve walked into it
rotide
It never occured to me either. Not that I really care one way or another, but i was surprised it wasn’t mentioned considering the amount of column inches she gets around these parts. I guess that’s the comment nuking in action.
Je Suis Frilly Keane
Trolling at its supreme best
And I think I’m qualified t’say so
Since the New Year every form of media was drowning in hospital trollies and Polling numbers….
And in the last 36 hours …. Fine Gays Ya Are s have taken the pot with just a pair of Queens
And there was us laughing at Banotti and Jock and Enda’s nonsense about people thanking him
REALLY? I thought Leo said he was single?
Seeing as he’s not out that’s a really hypocritical invasion of privacy there BS.
