  • What kind of completely juvenile bullshit poll is this? "Gayest video?" FFS.

  • I doubt there are many prejudiced people on here, but terms like 'gayest' feed into that awful trend amongst young people who use the word 'gay' to mean rubbish, stupid, laughable, weird and many other derogatory adjectives. "Campest Morrissey Video" would be more palatable.

    November Spawned a Monster is the obvious choice. But what I love about Moz is that his career has encompassed everything from effeminate to ruffian and back again and he still refuses to be categorised.

  • ....to the name of this poll. I agree with the poster above, we have to get away from using the word "gay" as an adjective. While it may seem light hearted to use the word gay in this fashion, and I don't believe its made maliciously, it only strengthens the stereotype of what being gay is, and in a sense can attach ridicule to the word. That may seem petty, but for people struggling with their sexuality, hearing people say things like "thats so gay", "hes so gay", "that music video is so gay" etc can seem to offer a negative opinion of homosexuality (even if its not intended that way). I should know because I went through it. Please stop using the word in this fashion, for the sake of younger people struggling with their sexuality. I believe "camp" is the word you're looking for. Thank you :)

      • Gay men and women higlight their sexuality because continued prejudice and ignorance means that, even in our scientific and supposedly enlightened age, homosexuals still have to fight to be accepted as ordinary human beings. Gay men and women live ordinary lives, have ordinary emotions, ordinary sexual urges and fall in love like you or I. The fact that the person they have sex with is of their own gender shouldn't trouble your world in the slightest.

        Also, no gay person I know of has ever "imposed" on the world that straight men should "have a penis stuck in their mouth, or have their arse fucked" as you so crudely put it. If straight people are able to talk about their sex lives in the street and in the media and perhaps make jokey comments like "what they need is a good shag", then why aren't gay people allowed to do the same? That isn't imposition, it's people discussing life.

        If you think that gay men are trying to somehow force you to change your sexuality by simply fighting for equality and the right not to be bullied and abused, then you are either severely deluded, or overly obsessed with homosexuality (which may be an issue in itself). You might as well say that, in fighting for equality and forming their own culture, black people wante to "impose" their skin colour on white people. It's a ludicrous statement.

        As for whatever incident with Morrissey and "that bully and his boyfriend" (whoever that might be) it's perfectly fine to dislike someone who's gay and disagree with something they say or do, after all, they're just another person. But to use sexuality as a stick with which to beat someone shows you up as both uneducated and prejudiced.

        Homophobia has no justification.

    I wonder what is the point of this poll, or what point the poll suggester is trying to make... ?

    What point is David Tseng trying to make by allowing such a poll?

  • I'm gay. I don't mince, I have no interest in Judy Garland and I have don't refer to my males friends as 'she'.

    "Gayest". What the fuck does that mean?

    You're either gay or not. You don't become more gay by living up to stereotypes of what a gay people should be.

    So how can one video by gayer than another. It can be camper. It can be more effeminate. It can't be gayer.

    Shall we have the a vote on his straightest video next? Shall we reduce most of the world's six billion people to one archetype? It's prejudging people - it's assuming because you're gay, female, black, Muslim or whatever then you display the following personality traits. Morrissey's output has always been against this demeaning, prejudiced view of humanity.

    And we're objecting to this degrading poll for the same reason. You wouldn't create a narrow definition of, say, black people. Who is the most black black person you know, the most Chinese Chinese person you know - go fuck yourselves.

    You're trading in prejudice.

    The first Smiths single and along with the cover

    Morrissey's songs can be analysed is whatever gender, so for 1 it may be gay for the other not

  • Let's all face it: despite Morrissey's obvious genius, most of his music videos are shit. They're boring and cheap - they don't flatter him.

    It's sad that such a magnificent, beautiful artist such as he would be in a sense represented by these things.

    But to address the topic of the poll, in my opinion, Alma Matters is the absolute gayest.

    For those weeping few of who take offense to the word "gay", I'll retract my previous statement and say...

    In my opinion, Alma Matters is the absolute homoist.

    There's Morrissey, bathed in a horrible sickly green light, sporting definitely the worst haircut of his almost-always-perfect-hair career. He's sitting in what looks like a heroin addict's kitchen eating cereal. And there's a butch lesbian yelling at him. Oh. And he's singing in a stairwell.

    Come on.

  • You can be camp or really camp or David Walliams camp. But you can't be more gay. You can't rate your gay friends by varying degrees of gayness.

    The reason this is an offensive poll is that it conflates these two separate things. It assumes if your wrist is limper, you're gayer. And as has been noted elsewhere, imagine the uproar if we had a poll to decide the order of blackness for Bob Marley songs. You're black or you're not. You don't get more black by living up to White sterotypes. You're gay or you're not. You don't get more gay by living up to straight sterotypes.

    It's disappointing because I think there was always a recognition amongst Smiths fans that one of the cultural meanings of the group had to do with breaking free of the expectations of gender and sexual orientation. It's there in the lyrics, the interviews, the image and the sleeves from Hand in Glove onwards, and continues through Morrissey's solo career.

    Smiths fans used to have a sense of community. Things like this make one feel less welcome. I'm afraid this site isn't really for me anymore.

  • ...is to be found in David Tseng's defense of this poll, in the forum. His strategy so far: ignore every question or criticism made by anyone who protests against it, but always ask them--"so you want it censored?"

    As if this site, on which any criticism of any mod, or of Tseng himself, will eventually see you banned, were a Mecca of freedom of speech. The dishonesty is flabbergasting.

    David, if you refuse to accept any criticism of your judgment, please just stick to the usual formula issued by yourself and UncleSkinny: tell your critics to go somewhere else.

    Perhaps also try a new, additional bit of directness, by confessing that you care about nothing more than pageviews, and hence personal profit. (Kewpie has already told us that "site adiministator don't much care about parts of site that don't benefit him personally," as I believe the quote went.) A little puerile controversy is apparently the best you can do, as an uncreative sort, to drum up such pageviews. Bravo.

    Just please, please don't tell us that you think a poll about "gayness," submitted by someone called "Poll Stroker," was meant to "celebrate" gay identity. It is bad enough that you are a dictatorial, hyper-censorious, perpetually disengenous incompetent. You don't have to be a liar, too.
