It's got nothing to do with homosexuality. People in their 60s hitting on people in their late teens or 20s is fking grim. The sex of the hittor or the hittee is irrelevant.
Grim does not equal illness or illegality. The reality is that buying a Porsche doesn't cut the mustard for some. It is taudry and grim but let's not get all 'tabloid and football' about it. Timothy Bucktu said:

It's worth noting that in 2024 homosexuality is not a disease and such people are not 'unwell'. They are merely victims of earlier societies that not only frowned upon religious nonconformity but were actively prejudice.
The Welsh, no different from most British regions, were hardly tolerant towards difference any more than they were to outsiders. Hence why so many of these people from the Boomer and GenX generations had to leave and make their way to places like London to be free and treated like a normal human by an enough people. And even then, in order to be able to return home or in extreme cases protect their family back home or just to give from the general, residual stigma in society they set up with a beard and carry on the facade until the parents are dead, children grown up and society has grown sufficiently for the facade to no longer be worth the effort.
What you then get with some over 50s is that midlife crisis need to relive a youth they never had but had always wanted. For some men that's buying an Austin Allegro or a Porsche and cruising the mean streets, for others it is dating the people the wares to date when back in their 20s. Of course, if that happens to involve homosexuality then you're always going to have a block of the simpler sections of society banging on about disease, vice, etc. Invariably the the sort of dimwit who still hasn't realised why Uncle Leslie always wore a tie pin and pocket square and kept his Cortina absolutely immaculate. Granny knew. Granny always knows and it never bothers granny because granny isn't a dimwit with sad insecurities that propel a bloke to try and be all macho.
A good thing about the evolution of regional society since the dawn of the internet has given them a window into civilisation is that the act of 'Going West' looks to be dying out. That's a shame for cities that has prospered from that migration but it does mean bears demand is also plummeting and we will hopefully have fewer and fewer of these coming out events that while so many enjoy salivating over are hard for ferie da and family at the time. Although the complexity will remain when people want to raise children as part of their family and not small dogs that require nighttime exercise on the Heath.

Kind regards.
When I said 'ill' I mean ill, as in depression.

Not everyone like people their own age. Some older people are more attracted to younger people, also some young ones find older people attractive.My first partner turned 40 a few weeks after I turned 21.

Illegality isn't the threshold for losing your job. When I was working, there were literally hundreds of things i could have done which would have been perfectly legal but would have cost me my job.
And? If it’s contractual you sign up for it. This case is somewhat different and clearly involves mental health issues. TwigtheWonderkid said:

I'm sure if he was alive he would actually care what you thought, or the women for that matter.

But she didn't turn 60 a few weeks after you turned 21. Now factor in you being 21, and in a junior position at work. She's 60, and one of the senior directors. And she pursues you. Does that not put you in a difficult position? If your son or daughter was the 21 y/o in question, are you still completely relaxed about the situation?
Eh? It was a prossie on an app. otolith said:
Maybe I've missed some of the story, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the allegations against Huw Edwards? As I understand it, it's not a sexual harassment in the workplace case, so that seems somewhat irrelevant. Unwanted hitting on staff will get you fired whatever your respective ages.
I think this may be one of these "possible explanations" people here are famous for.Not sure where this thread is going, but it seems to have gone off track from Huw Edwards.
I'd exercise caution is making assumptions on what's actually happened with him, (although I've made some of course).
The alleged "pictures" aren't in the public domain, as far as I know.
His "illness" or medical condition hasn't really been made public. There may be a smokescreen to cover the truth.
No one has officially said he's homosexual.
I don't have any problem with someone liking another person of a different age, or of the same gender, if that's what they want to do.
I just think it's wrong for newspapers to make money from it. Sometimes the correct response is No We Won't Publish It, but please raise your concerns with ... the police / a doctor / a solicitor ... or whoever.

If I was going to argue that it's ok to have a large age gap Hugh Hefner wouldn't be the fulcrum I'd lever my argument on.
I ain't arguing as i couldn't g.a.f. what anyone does.Having said that, he did though.
