( Me at my place)
I am coming out loud and proud and declaring
the following:
1. I am an Aussie white bloke of European
descent!
2. I am heterosexual!
3. Although non religious I tend to believe in
so-called Christian values/beliefs!
Mike's Comments -

to be " Not Straight - Gay "
People over my 74 years I have seen/experienced
some many World Famous high flying celebrities across
the human spectrum - athletics, various sports
- boxing, cricket, football etc;
entertainment - movie stars, singers, and especially politicians that find it
very difficult to accept that they
have had their time/day in
the sun and now ? and have gone from being
a household name constantly in the
media with paparazzi hanging around like a bad smell
photographing their every move -
attracting an audience wanting to touch them and get
autographs and ofcourse like
everything else that all diminishes with time and they are consigned to the
history books.
However some celebrities cannot handle that
rejection and go to great lengths even to commit suicide to
try and maintain that popular adoration ? or if
your a pollie the influence ? power
they once had ?
Frank
Sinatra.
Take Frank Sinatra for instance who I was a great fan
of but I believed it was a great
shame
when he insisted on singing into his 70's where to me
his voice was becoming what you
would expect a once great singers voice to
become-pretty pathetic- and it was not
because
he needed the money ! he died leaving an estate of 3 -
400 million
dollars!
It was because he wanted to hear the applause and the
adoration and yes he brought in
the crowds in Las Vegas but from what I read the
crowds were turning up to see a curiosity
not
a great singer and
entertainer.
Ex Aussie
PM.
Gough
Whitlam
Ex Aussie
PM
Bob
Hawke
Ex Aussie
PM
Malcolm Fraser who is famous for deposing Gough Whitlam
the then Labor PM and who lost
his trousers in New York? was never very popular with
the electorate because he talked like
he had a plum in his mouth like some English nobility
and treated various people he thought
were just plebbs with some disdain and who tiered up to
the point of nearly crying seated
before the cameras after he lost his last election in
1983 to the popular Bob Hawke.
However Malcolm Fraser is another one that can't leave
things alone because he is constantly
appearing on the ABC Radio -? where else
?- criticising the Aussie population for the way we
treat the so-called asylum seekers and telling our
current and the previous Labor one how we
should - or not - deal with the likes
of China, Japan and the USA?
I believe he should just shut up and enjoy his enormous
Tax Payer funded retirement and
remember he is yesterdays man and even then he
did not do a great job of PM as history
shows that's why he got booted out by the
voters!
Ian Thorpe
I believe this is what has happened to Ian Thorpe but
to a far greater extent because he
was much loved, admired and respected as a person and a
great athlete and was mobbed
by fans- especially the females- wherever he went in
Aussie and around the World!
I wont go into all his massive achievements from the
age of (14) where he became the
youngest individual World Champion ever through to the
Olympics, Summer Olympics,
World
Championships, World Aquatic Championships, Aussie
Swimmer of the year from
1999 to 2003, Young Aussie of the Year in 2000 to when
he retired due to illness & injury in
2006
only to try for a come back in 2011 but failed the 2012
Aussie Olympic trails and to me
it was like watching/listening to a younger version of
an elderly Frank Sinatra viewing Ian
Thorpe being interviewed at pool side after his poor
result at the 2012 Olympic trails.
Sir Michael
Parkinson.
Now watching Ian Thorpe on Channel (10) being
interviewed by Sir Michael Parkinson
yesterday the 13/7/2014 where at the great old age of
(32) he looked and sounded like
he has hit rock bottom and it was a great shame to see
such a good bloke and a fine
athletic champion go so far down human
chain?
However I believe that Ian Thorpe has achieved the come
back he was looking for at the
2012 Olympic trails where he failed to qualify because
by appearing as a well loved and
renown widely acclaimed and highly honoured World Class
Athlete on a World Class and
renown show hosted by an also well loved, widely
acclaimed and highly honoured Sir
Michael Parkinson Ian Thorpe is back on the podium
being the centre of attention and
the accolades, recognition he has missed since retiring
from international swimming
back in 2006- and who could blame him after having a
fantastic career cut short due to
illness & injury when he was in the prime of his
life-however I believe for all the
wrong
reasons?
After all ( IS ?? ) he being congratulated and praised
for the following:
1.The way he has handled the pressure and achieved so
much in his short life and still
remain a good, God fearing part of a close family sort
of bloke? NO!
2.The way he has reportedly handled his drug problem?
NO!
3.The way he is coping with his reportedly depression?
NO!
4.The way he is coping with his reportedly alcohol
problem? NO!
5.The way he has handled his reportedly thoughts of
suicide? NO!
6.The gentlemanly and fair way he has handled the
romantic break ups with his many and
various female friends avoiding the media scandal that
often happens when celebrities do
these sort of things - the media enjoy if not thrive on
the juicy bits!! ? NO!
However I feel some sympathy for the females Ian Thorpe
had sex with because now they
wont know if while he was having sex with them he was
actually fantasising and wishing
they were
blokes??
No! none of the above even though items 2 - 5 are
killing Aussies virtually every day!!
No people all this latest media - main and social -
frenzy - especially amongst the gay
lesbian lobby who must be wetting their collective
knickers with excitement the poor
darlings - is that Ian Thorpe has declared what most of
the worlds population that has
followed his career has thought may have been the case
and that he is not " Straight "
his words not mine and I noticed it was well into the
interview before he referred to
himself as a " Gay man " and I my view he seemed to
avoid the word " Gay " like he was
not comfortable with using
it??
This ofcourse is even though he has vehemently denied
it over the years and even stated
so in his latest autobiography written some (2) years
ago I gather headed " This is me in
2012
Ian Thorpe Own Autobiography " is there any wonder he
delayed announcing his
coming out?? stating one untruth so close to the book
launch could have cast some doubt
on any other statements Ian Thorpe made in the book and
therefore effected the book
sales???
Anyway " Who Bloody Cares - other than other gay
blokes?? What his sexual preferences
are?? what is so special about being gay when compared
to any other sexual preference?
Just go on the porn sites there are a multitude of
them!!
Maybe someone - based on now Ian Thorpe's notoriety? -
can let him host a " Question &
Answer Show " like the International Gay Guru and
Promoter of homosexual life Stephen
Fry who has QI which is run at least once every weekday
night ? sometimes (2) on Prime
Time TV on where else? the gay/lesbian promotional arm
- The ABC - that is when they are
not reporting/commentating ad nauseam on how badly we
Aussies are treating the so-called
asylum seekers?? where Ian Thorpe can invite - as
Stephen Fry does - his fellow
gay/lesbian
mates to participate and they can all have a lovely jolly
time??

Anyone can declare themselves gay and/or lesbian
because you don't need any
qualifications,
certificates, body shape! size! or weight! you don't
have to have a limp wrist
hand shake,
a funny walk, be foppish and have an effeminate voice
if your a bloke or
masculine traits if your
a female.
Just declare yourself either gay or lesbian - or even
bi-sexual for the matter - go to a gay/
lesbian bar/ club/ hang out and announce to all and
sundry that you wish to be either gay
or lesbian and I am sure you will be fighting the
people gathered there off with a stick
wanting
you to be their virgin gay or
lesbian.
Anyway you would only have to contact Andrew Barr the
Deputy Chief Minister and
Treasurer
of the ACT Legislative Council who is a well known
practicing homosexual and
a member of
" Rainbow Labor " that has put the following advert -
scroll down to the
bottom - in the media
and on face book - I might add reading the readers
comments in the
ACT local media it is causing a lot of controversial debate - in fact it is
getting hammered -
in regard to heterosexuals not being invited?? plus who
is paying for not only the advert
but the whole episode/love in?? hopefully not the ACT
Rate/Tax Payers with the massive
deficits of millions
of dollars the ACT Legislative Council is
running?

The ACT Deputy Chief
Minister.
Something I thought was very disrespectful
towards us red blooded hetro males was where a boof
head Channel (7) AFL commentator by the name of
Brian Taylor called/labeled on air a Geelong
player by the name of Harry Taylor - not a gay I gather - quote " A big Poofter
" unquote and the
Channel (7) plus the
AFL want this commentator Brain
Taylor to attend counseling and
education
classes for his anti-homophobic?
Well people as far as I am concerned bugger -
metaphorically speaking ofcourse – the homosexuals
/gays because to call a red blooded hetro bloke
a quote " A Big Poofter "unquote -
other than calling
him a Mother Fucker? or his Mum is a whore - is one of - if not the
biggest insults you can call a red
blooded hetro male suggesting that he kisses and has sex with blokes which
to the average hetro
bloke is not only abhorrent! distasteful! and repulsive but is definitely fighting talk and if there was
ever a saying that will get you a punch in the mouth and possibly hospitalised
that's it!!!!
Don't believe me then try it? but I hope you
can fight and have your health insurance fully paid up?
because the chances are win or lose your going
to need it??
I don't feel sorry in anyway for Ian Thorpe
good luck to him!! he is big enough, intelligent, educated
and good looking enough and possibly loaded
with cash/funds to look after himself without my
advice.
However I believe people will
unfortunately remember Ian Thorpe " As that famous gay
swimmer "
and not for his swimming/ athletical achievements which in my view
will be a great shame.
Ok people speak up and don't let this noisy in
your face well organised minority gay/lesbian group
make life so difficult for us the majority Aussie hetro's with this
political correctness being so much
in their favour that it chokes our long held freedom of
speech?
However if your happy with that then cop it
sweet and don't whinge when you find yourself in a law
court being accused of upsetting the
sensibilities of this minority group for what we would consider
very minor at present??
