Why should being gay stop you from running a hugely successful company? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6612703.stm Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

Horrifying!

Yet another tabloid triumph.

Turning it around on an amusing point, when we were doing Entertainment USA in San Francisco, one gay interviewee on Castro Street said only gays were allowed to own or run businesses there and I said that was equally barmy. Why select an executive on their sexuality? Afterwards the man took my director aside and said I was clearly homophobic!

It shouldn't and I'm glad that in the UK that simply being gay would not stop you from running a company.

Another benefit of Western Liberal Democracy... it's getting there

The guy is a bare faced lier. He deserves all he gets.
If he'd had told the truth from the start, he wouldn't be in the position he is in now!
This has nothing at all to do with being 'gay', and everything to do with moral standards!

Not quite as straight forward as that is it?

WHY did he feel the need to tell a lie in the first place?

He resigned because he lied in Court not for his motive for lying. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.

I feel society must bear some burden - it's because of society's reaction that he has had to keep his sexuality secret for all these years.

Times have changed (a little) - but once you have been living a lie you have to keep it up.

He didn't lie about being gay he lied about the fact he meet his partner through an escort agency and not whilst walking through a park. Enter code here Please note: although no board code and smiley buttons are shown, they are still usable.
