And no, I'm not super familiar with CBBC personalities but comparing him to someone like Andrew Hayden-Smith, who was born in 1983 and who hosted from 2002-2006, is pretty fucking dishonest

And yeah you’re not familiar with presenters of British 90s kids tv so maybe bow to my knowledge instead of being so rude!!!

Specifically, is it a presenter who was active in children's TV between 1988 and 2000, when being gay could've literally gotten them fired

It’s a bit late for me to give you a list- have yourself some fun and carry on with the research! enjoy the many programmes with gay presenters/characters in that timeframe. Some quality work in there And I’m sure you’re actually sorry for calling me dishonest, thanks.

I’ll just leave you with Lily Savage presenting Blankety Blank, a prime time BBC1 family quiz show, in 1997. Yes, a drag queen. Paul O’Grady MBE.

So you've proven that attitudes were different in 1997 on a primetime show than they were in 1987 for children's programming Yes, I, an American alive back then, know this

By the way, did anyone from Ohio or indeed any American, do as much to change attitudes to HIV as Princess Diana did in 1987?pic.twitter.com/n3HWMdk6yb

I don't care about whether the UK was better or worse than the US (although the fact that the UK passed Section 28 while the Briggs Initiative was voted down in California seems like it matters more than Princess Di)

What does this have to do with arguing that you somehow have the right to judge Schofield for being in the closet
