Sarah... a lot of men feel it is a reflection on them if son is gay.. I know speaking to a lot of heterosexual men, they don't understand how a guy can be attracted to another guy.. plus regardless of how much we say this is the 21st century, been gay still has a stigma attached to it.. personal I know my partner doesn't give a crap either way if our son was gay or not
I'm actually a bit miffed none of mine are gay - I was kind of hoping that I could go shopping with at least one of them!!
I can imagine that some fathers think that their own masculinity could be questioned if their son is gay, maybe they even question it themselves. I know a mother who'se daughter is gay and the first thing that came into her mind when her daughter told her the news was that she would not become a grandmother.
Plus, we are talking about Phil Mitchel here who thinks he is a man's man cause he uses his fist rather than his head to solve issue (something I definitely don't think is a man) and can you honest say that Phil doesn't think this is a reflection on him??? He cares what people think
surely we will never progress as a society all the while that in order to be a man, you must be macho...and in order to be fullfilled as a woman you must have children?
sad world..
Sarah.. I don't agree with it and I certainly don't think a man is a man just cause he is macho but it is a sad fact that is the way a lot of people still think.. I know friends of mine who have been called selfish cause they don't want children.. I have been call it myself.. I didn't want to have children (I have 2 now and love them to bits) but it is still happening and as you said, with this attitude we will never progress... People still cringe when they see Syed and Christian kiss on tv.. I have seen it...Quote:

EastEnders bosses are planning to reintroduce the character of Ben Mitchell, Digital Spy can exclusively confirm.
Show chiefs are currently in the process of looking to recast the role ahead of an on-screen return later this year.
Digital Spy understands that the character of Ben will go in a new direction when he returns to Walford with a new actor in the part.
Ben was last seen on screen in August 2012 when he handed himself into the police, confessing that he was responsible for killing Heather Trott.
The troubled teenager has since been serving a stretch behind bars, but in Tuesday night's episode (May 13), his father Phil was left stunned when he learned that Ben had been released a month ago.
Following the shock revelation on screen, fans immediately began to wonder whether Ben would be back - with some even speculating that he could have been the mystery culprit who killed Lucy Beale.
The character of Ben has appeared in EastEnders on and off since his birth in 1996. Joshua Pascoe was the most recent actor to play the role, appearing on screen between 2010 and 2012.
Ben's return will no doubt make a big impact on Albert Square as he has to face those who were affected by the death of Heather.
His arrival is also likely to affect Lola Pearce as Ben is the father of her young daughter Lexi.
so he is coming back (recast) as he does no jail time hardly for heather's death and could also have killed lucy
