This makes me feel sick

When an audience-member responded with disgust to an unexpected gay kiss at a London theatre last July, one of the play’s actors decided to take a stand against homophobia. A man in the second or third row tutted loudly and shouted out “this makes me feel sick” during a performance of The American Plan at the St James theatre on the 31st of that month. This is where our third Yogi Award for 2014 comes in: Mark Edel-Hunt was smarter than the average actor - he was “so angry” at the remark from the auditorium that he went backstage, located an eyebrow pencil and the biggest piece of cardboard he could find, and wrote: “Some people are gay. Get over it!” After the curtain went down, Mr Edel-Hunt took a chair and placed his message – a famous slogan from Britain’s LGBT rights campaigner Stonewall – in the middle of the stage. “I came off stage and I was so angry about it. That’s just not an acceptable thing to say,” Mr Edel-Hunt told The Independent. “I’m not saying you shouldn’t be allowed to say such things, freedom of speech, after all. But, that someone was prepared to open a dialogue like that, made me want to invite people to respond.” Putin, if you're reading this, please repeal that stupid gay propaganda legislation. It's a wonder Sochi still hosted last month's Winter Olympics despite the gay propaganda law and all the other problems surrounding the games. Some people are gay. Get over it. Oh, and withdraw your troops from the Ukraine.
