   Today's radio phone in topic: "Should Strictly Come Dancing have same-sex couples?"

   This will not have any old bigoted homophobes calling in to say it's not natural, I'm sure.

      It took 6 minutes for this:

      "Graham in Leeds says - I'm heterosexual, do I have a place in society anymore? I also dance with women. Is that normal?"

         "Dave in Keighley says: Strictly will be banned in our house if this happens!"

         I bet Dave is such fun. 🎉

            I'm only listening to this because I'm playing Bigot Bingo.

            We've had our first "the moral majority are scared to speak out in case we're branded as homophobist or whatever-ist!"

            If you don't say anything homophobic, you won't be "branded" as homophobic. 📻 🔥

               "Pauline says, it might be controversial to say this these days but..."

               Does anyone other than bigots say that?

                  "Christine in Silsden says Strictly would lose another two viewers and the BBC would lose a licence payer if they made this change!"

                  Silsden. More hillbillies.

                     "Anne says - I'm not anti-gay! It just doesn't look right! Two men dancing just looks stupid! Why don't we just have a BBC Gay channel so all this stuff can go in its own place and it doesn't get shoved in our faces!"

                     SHOVED IN OUR FACES ✅

                        They've had to go as far as Scunthorpe, miles from the local coverage area, to find a caller who's not a homophobe

                           "Mike in Keighley says what next? Dancing with horses and dogs? It's just as natural."

                              There's been a couple of not homophobic messages from people in Halifax, so Halifax gets a ⭐ from me
