Right-Oh: Survey Confirms 16 Percent Of Brits Are Homophobic Prats
Right-Oh: Survey Confirms 16 Percent Of Brits Are Homophobic Prats
A survey of 1,052 UK adults has revealed some troubling data from our neighbors across the pond.
Most unsavory are the 16 percent who reportedly agreed that gay sex should be made illegal by the government. That’s roughly one in six Brits who would gladly slap a pair of cuffs on you for engaging in some innocent arsing around.
And respondents who weren’t against gay sex legally but simply morally clocked in at 20 percent. Of course, in 2008 that number was 24 percent so it looks like things are heading in the right direction on that front. 60 percent of Britons support gay marriage and gay couples’ right to adopt children, up from 50 percent in 2008.
Also, straight relationships averaged 17 years while gay ones lasted five. But we already knew about the “gay years” conversion rate. “Six months? Wow, that’s like a year and a half in gay years.”
But to be fair, America surely wouldn’t fare any better.

What To Watch This Week on TV: 'Gracepoint' Intrigues; McDermott Stalks Stalkers
What To Watch This Week on TV: 'Gracepoint' Intrigues; McDermott Stalks Stalkers
Check out our weekly guide to make sure you’re catching the big premieres, crucial episodes and the stuff you won’t admit you watch when no one’s looking.
— Potty-mouthed funnylady Sarah Silverman returns to SNL (she was part of the cast from 1993-1994) this weekend. This time, she’s got hosting duties with musical guests Maroon 5 at 11:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
Stalkers, bad judges, grisly murders, and more on TV this week, AFTER THE JUMP …
— After two twisted turns on American Horror Story, Dylan McDermott continues to dabble in the darkness on CBS’ new procedural, Stalker, premiering Wednesday at 10 p.m. Eastern on CBS. As its title implies, expect this show to have its fair share of creepy moments, particularly in the first episode’s first few minutes.
— Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice star Kate Walsh returns Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern on NBC in Bad Judge. Executive producers Will Ferrel and Adam McKay are behind the series, which follows Walsh’s titular naughty Rebecca Wright. She’s like younger Judge Judy, if young Judge Judy drank tequila and played drums in a band.
— If you’re a fan of serialized mysteries centered around murders in small towns (True Detective, The Killing), set your DVR for Gracepoint Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern on Fox. The series is an import from across the pond, but it’s kept it’s English star, Doctor Who’s David Tennant. The cast also boasts Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad).
— Mad Men’s Ben Feldman (the one with one less nipple) and Cristin Milioti (How I Met Your Mother’s mother) take us through their elaborate courtship on A To Z, Thursday at 9:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC.

Poll Shows Just How Much Republicans Hate Eric Holder
Poll Shows Just How Much Republicans Hate Eric Holder
When Eric Holder leaves his post as attorney general, his legacy will include incurring the animosity of most of the GOP, according to a YouGov poll released Monday. As YouGov’s William Jordan notes, Republicans are more likely to dislike Holder than Democrats or independents are to have any opinion of him, positive or negative.
Sixty-four percent of Republicans have an unfavorable view of Holder. By contrast, just 60 percent of Democrats and 56 percent of independents were able to rate him either way.
Holder was a frequent target of GOP criticism, and in 2012 House Republicans voted to hold him in contempt of Congress over Operation Fast and Furious. Progressive groups like the ACLU have lauded some of Holder’s civil rights achievements and his frank dialogue on racism, while also expressing disappointment over his civil liberties record and pursuit of government whistleblowers.
Democrats in the poll who did have an opinion of Holder, however, were largely positive, with 44 percent viewing him favorably and just 16 percent unfavorably. African-Americans were also especially supportive, with 57 percent rating him favorably, and 6 percent unfavorably.
In total, 26 percent of Americans rate Holder positively, and 37 percent negatively, making him moderately more popular than former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric Shinseki and former Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius at the time of their resignations.
The YouGov poll was conducted Sept. 26-28 among 1,000 U.S. adults using a sample selected from YouGov’s opt-in online panel to match the demographics and other characteristics of the adult U.S. population. Factors considered include age, race, gender, education, employment, income, marital status, number of children, voter registration, time and location of internet access, interest in politics, religion and church attendance.
