Read it for yourself.

A strange, lonely and troubling death . . . | Mail Online

The original headline was "Why Stephen Gately's Death Was Anything But Natural"

I fully expect that there'll be a number of SN members that support Ms Moir's views. Personally, I found the not-very-thinly-veiled suggestion that he died of being gay and that civil partnerships will all end in tragedy (because they'll all die of gay) to be offensive.

I found the piece a frightening insight into the ingnorance and dangerous attitudes of people regarding the gay community. The fact that this woman was allowed to voice such a ridiculous statement is beyond belief.

That woman writes the nastiest, most vitriolic pieces it's been my misfortune to read. I had to stop reading her columns in the Telegraph. And she's no bleedin' oil painting!

Healthy and fit 33-year-old men do not just climb into their pyjamas and go to sleep on the sofa, never to wake up again.
Yes they do. Its called Sudden Adult Death Syndrone.

This journalist is not only bigoted, but ignorant

Its not upto the Daily Mail or any other person to judge what gays do, that is God's job.

Dying to have a dig but doesnt want to incur the wrath, she said that they didnt bring the Bulgarian student back for a game of "Canasta", the implication was that they were all bumming each other senseless like all those horrible, disgusting homos do, she mentioned Matt Lucas's ex who killed himself, see another bummer dead because he like other mens bums, it will happen to them all, the wages of sin is death etc etc

I dont see what the implication is here, they went out and had a lot to drink, like men, gay or straight tend to do, they came back, perhaps smoked a joint, then they possibly had gay sex, straight people have sex, its kind of jiggling a ***** in a suitable orifice till it goes off or by other means, not potentially deadly in the short term and as long as precautions are taken it is safe in the long term

Ok, we dont all bring back Bulgarian students to our flat as married couples, but some traditional married couples, swing, go ******* and god knows what else, I think gay men are probably more profilific in this respect as there are no women in the equation, and lets be frank, men are f*cking animals when it comes to ********, freed of the complication of the female I would imagine its open season all the time if thats your thing, not saying however that all gay men are promiscious.

I cant see any merit in that article, its just trying to say it was because he was gay he died, I cant see anything that would lead me to draw that conclusion but still, the average Daily Mail reader does like to rant about such things.

Good old daily mail. They'll be telling us you can catch Gay from toilet seats next.

The sad thing is alot of what is printed is believed. The financial section is determined to inform its readership that they are all going broke. I can tell from what a client says to me if they've read the Mail on Sunday.

I tell them to stop reading the papers.

As I said, he had a good night out and unfortunately SADS got him by the sound of it. I really can't see the point of all the speculation about how he died anyway and the obvious hope in some quarters that his death was down to some sensational reason.

He was well liked by his friends and it is a shame that he died so young.

This is why you should never read the mail!

Cororner's report (i.e. Dr who actually examined the deceased): Natural causes

Daily Mail: No way! It was an inevitable consequence of immigration, gays and ..... oh and don't get us started on single mothers

That rag isn't even fit for toilet paper!

These type of heart conditions are undetectable unless you have specific screening, even then in some cases an Electrocardiogram (ECG) doesn't pick it up.

Twelve seemingly fit and healthy young people die every week due to undiagnosed conditions.

In Jan Moir's expert opinion as a coroner that's exactly how he died. And he'll go straight to hell with all the other sodomites & deviants. Charlie Brooker wrote a good rebuttal to the original article here

So he didn't die from a few too many babyshams and a good bumming and a dousing of man-mayo then;

Charlie Brooker got it spot on, she didnt, if he had been straight and died with a woman in the apartment would she have still written the piece, I think some people are still struggling that some people prefer their own sex to the opposite, its all a bit mysterious and strange for them, to be honest sometimes I find the choice of partner for some heterosexual couples more mystifying and bizarre than the gay ones.

Time she resigned from journalism, time the Daily Mail got a rethink.

The daily mail is so full of sh1te that anyone who reads it instantly has NO integrity or weight to any opinion, view or anything that comes out of their easily led, eager to have something to moan about, full of shi1te mouths!




The daily mail can **** off, i hope the building its mung bean eating, ethnically diverse bunch of ******* they call staff work in blows up with them inside it!

Sums up Moir's article nicely.

Make a complaint.

The article contravenes 1,5 and 12 of the code.

I've already complained. I'm not 100% convinced on sections 1 and 5, 12 is definately a goer, which was the basis of my complaint.

Stupid woman trying to make a bit of popularity from a misplaced attempt at sensationalism. It certainly misfired and I hope she gets her "comeuppance" over it.

What will happen to her as a result of anyone's complaint? Not much - might get sacked?

I'm sure there must be some angry gays who would bum Moir into next week to teach her a lesson.
