Anti-Gay Politician Made Gay XXX Movie
by Peter Moore, 365Gay.com London Bureau

(London) The extreme right wing British National Party which publicly condemns homosexuality was left with egg on its face Wednesday when it was learned one of its leaders produced and directed a film featuring young men cavorting in the nude and fondling one another.

"It was an art film, end of story. It was not a bloody porn film," is all Richard Barnbrook, the party's London organizer and leader of the opposition on east London council.

The film, "HMS Discovery: A Love Story," was shot in the mid 1980s.

London's Evening Standard which uncovered the old movie reports that it shows men undressing, full frontal nudity and the men fondling each other. In one scene, the paper reports, one man performing a sex act on another.

At the bottom of the screen there is homoerotic poetry.

The film's credits list Barnbrook as producer and director but he denies writing the poetry.

In Barnbrook's election campaign material the BNP called for a local vote to let parents decide if they want to "prohibit the teaching of homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle choice".

Previous BNP pronouncements included calls to criminalize the "revolting practices" of homosexuality and calls AIDS the "revenge" of nature against "the nauseating proliferation of homosexuality".

The BNP are vile racist bigots...  [message #32025 is a reply to message #32024] Thu, 11 May 2006 12:20 Go to previous messageGo to next message

...and it depresses me no end that anyone thinks they are worth voting for. You'd have to be touched in the head -- or worse -- even to consider it.

I suspect that part of the problem is that most of the people who vote for them have not read the manifesto in full. It's not just an end to immigration, it's an end to rights for people who are not white. Or straight. Or provably born and bred in the UK. And it's only a matter of time before the rest lose whatever rights they did have.

When I worked for a web hosting company we were sent threatening letters by the BNP asking us to take down a site alleging that party leader Nick Griffin had homosexual experiences in his youth.

Interestingly, they did not accuse the site owner of libel, simply of not owning the copyright on one of the pictures.

I took great pleasure in writing rude letters back to them telling them that we only took web sites down if we received a court order, and if they didn't have one to stop wasting our time. I wish I could have been even ruder, but it might have reflected poorly on the company.

Well of course I dont know much about British politics, but it would seem these guys have a bit of hypocriticism reigning in their ranks. I guess I would be forced to let them have their say about matters, but it sounds like this group would have a lot in common with the American Nazi Party! I really dont like groups that try to say that other groups of people dont have a right to exist. I can agree wholeheartedly with David on this one.
Oh and btw, I have been away where I couldnt get on line for about 4 days and I experienced withdrawl symptoms...........
