Tatchel is a very quite and gentle man. I think he adopts a different persona when he gets onto a cause.
I think he has a legitimate complaint re the church although I reckon if one church won't have you...start your own !!
plenty of room there for some high campery !  |

I think he used to be very brave and I had a lot of time for him but I think he's gotten old and judging by his TV show has lost his edge. |

Got to disagree with everybody here.
Peter Tatchell is probably the bravest man in the UK. O.K, he's picking on a 'soft target' in the spiritual leader of a billion people world-wide, but he is officially 'retired' having suffered extensive brain damage at the hands of Mugabe's thugs, as well as the Russian police and skinheads.
What gets me about militant atheists though, is the fact that most of them seem unable to recognise that 'secular' humanism has become as much of a religion as the rest, with it's own particular set of heresies and rigorously enforced dogmas. I think Tatchell is one of the few who does recognise it though, his track record of speaking out against paedohysteria and 'heterophobia' is proof of that. |

I'm worried about Peter - he only seems to have one shirt - I'm watching him in green (again) on BBC News today. |

To mention Tatchell and the Pope together is akin to viewing US pastor Terry Jones (whose church has about 35 members) as relevant to Islam. Quite rightly, freedom of speech gives theses men some oxygen.
However, they have no mandate from anywhere and Tatchell has simply jumped on a variety of bandwagons overs the years; my bandwagon is down at my local MP's office; but Tatchell (and Jones) feel the need to bypass normal protest routes by hysteric/attention seeking interventions.
Right on, vera !
Deny them what they really seek - publicity ! |
