Earlier this morning, David Hughes, who has been a friend and a colleague for many years, posted the following to twitter:

DHughesy i ate a bowl of all bran type product, 2 scoops of yoghurt & cup of skim milk. ps i am gay

DHughesy and an inch and a half of snickers

Now, I don't care either way about Hughesy's diet, but I am distressed at the use of the word 'gay' in reference to eating yoghurt, skim milk and bran. The half a Snickers I can understand being called gay, because, technically, it is having a mouthful of nuts, but the health nonsense? Gay? Please. Next he'll be calling that rank bogan Shannon from the Biggest Loser gay. I'm sure that will go over well...
