One thing this thread has inspired me to do is to form my own folk/thrash metal/new age band called Gay Dredd.

Just looking for an experienced triangle player. Any interested parties, please contact me at the usual address.
Don't think there'll be too many gay musicians who are experienced triangle players... Unless I have totally misunderstood what that is...

QuoteAfter months of world-class writing in both Day of Chaos and Trifecta, it's a one-off about jimps snogging in a nightclub that makes the papers.

I suspect this is more to do with the obsessions of the British press than with anything else.

Speak to young people, they don't carry the same sexual prejudices of older generations. It's called progress.

Yup. I'm repeatedly amazed about how unfazed by and grown up my two are about it. It's totally irrelevant to them if someone is gay or not.

George Bestial--how did I miss that one!?

The same guy draws Drunken Bakers--painful, heart breaking hilarious stuff

Neo-fascist Jack Black and his dog Silver always makes me laugh

Love the Drunken Bakers. As you say - heart breaking, and quite brilliant.

I was wondering if this was the case.

I am laughing at the gay equals effiminate statements.

As a comedian pointed out, gay men fuck other men. Big, tough, muscly, hairy, rough men. Not soft, curvy, fragrant women.  How much more manly can you get than being tough enough to fuck another bloke.


I wouldn't care if DREDD was gay and I welcome the reasoned and well informed discussion and commentary that this publicity will bring.

^^This.
I love the raft of "I'm not a homophobe, but..." statements popping up in discussions about this.

They should make a sequel to Evan/Bruce Almighty where Rob Leifeld gets god-like powers and makes everyone look like his drawings and removes their feet  :lol:
Make it so!

Quotemaking out that Dredd might be gay is a guaranteed way of losing readers

Well, in all honesty, anyone who would stop reading a comic because a character is revealed to be gay (and for the record, this is obviously NOT what the Dredd story is about) is not the sort of person I would want reading the comic anyway.
Narrow minded, homophobic bigots need not apply.



Just because someone doesn't want a character to be gay doesn't make them a homophobic bigot.    I don't want Dredd to be gay either or a woman or an alien.    That doesn't make me a homophobic mysoginist that hates aliens either.

What difference does it make id Dredd's gay or not?
(and on reading the page that has been previewed, it's obviously not him, but a jimp in the night club and the narration is by the other character, but never mind...)

Quotemost straight teenage boys and older men (probably the biggest readers of Dredd) wouldn't be too happy with a gay Dredd

Then I would suggest they grow the fuck up and enter the 21st Century.
