<p>Are you sure? I'd associate the phrase tonsils deep more with a chutney ferret than a lotus patch</p>

<p> </p>
<p>On reflection I can see the association you have made. My terminology seems to be amiss and I do apologise for my lack of accuracy. As to the actual situation, I can confirm that it was like Mr Whippy had trundled into my neighbourhood and I had ordered a warm fish milkshake.</p> -

<p>If you believe some of the rumours, and the story from a former TVNZ presenter we've already had gay ABs.</p> -

<p>It's highly likely, but who cares.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This 'news' is about as interesting as the bloody bachelor, or one of those never ending home renovation shows. </p> -

<p>pretty low starting point...I could write a blog about what I did at work today between 11.59 and 12.01 and expect it would be more interesting than the bachelor.</p> -

<p>Prepping your 12:05 and 12:08 posts?</p> -

Good god, you're a drama queen. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
Just to confirm, I'm not using the word ''queen'' in a homophobic way.<br></p></blockquote>
Hard to deny though that there is a problem with homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic abuse on-line and in some places it is getting worse. Over the years, the Fern has been well moderated and regulated. <br><br>
I'm not mad keen on the way one or two mods at the moment think it is their prerogative to abuse fellow posters. And yes I'll make a drama of my opposition to racism and bigotry. -

I'm a lesbian trapped in a man's body. Just not one of those lesbians that likes the fat ugly bull-dykes. Halfback.</p></blockquote>I'd seen you'd just posted in here, and couldn't click in quick enough to see what you'd come up with.<br><br>
It's not a bad effort, but I think I was expecting something far more fiery from you. -

There's been gay All Blacks beyond any shadow of a doubt. It's inconceivable to me that we haven't. -

<p>Fixed it for you Frank. :yes:</p> -
<p>Statistically yes. I haven't followed this subject for years, but most academic research seemed to conclude that anywhere between 1-10% of the population is gay, and the studies that place the "gay population" at the high end of this range included people as "gay" where they had "gay thoughts" even once in their life. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>So if we've had 1,100 - 1,200 All Blacks, then 1-10% of that is 11-120 gay All Blacks.</p> -
