Jan Moir should be sacked for her homophobic comments in the Daily Mail

"I agree with the petition statement in full"

"It is wrong what Jan wrote in the paper about Stephen Gately - how can she be allowed to write such rubbish, when not only his family, but his friends, bandmates, the music world and all of his fans are greiving."

"Disgraceful bigotry!"

"I am a firm believer in freedom of speech, but Ms Moir has recklessly abused that freedom in attempting to stigmatise a large section of society with neither evidence nor proof, relying instead on spurious innuendo."

"It is appauling that, in the 21st Century, a Journalist should be allowed to write such a blatantly biased and inflammatory piece."

"an awfully written piece from both moral and literary perspectives."

"She writes hateful and bigoted nonsense that shouldn't be tolerated in a civil society"

"I find this article insulting. From a gay male perspective and as a healthcare professional"

"Homophobic and disgusting attitudes"

"Totally unacceptable , I back this petition"

"Typical narrow-minded homophobic behaviour from the Daily Mail. If it was a racist comment she had made, she'd have been sacked already."

"Despicable article which strongly suggested Stephen Gately's death was not owing to natural causes purely because of his sexuality. Unnecessarily spiteful. Address 21A Nork Way, Banstead, Surrey. SM7 1PB"

"Cock off Moir."

"A truly hateful piece of flaccid, inarticulate, bigoted nonsense that is spiteful and highly offensive. To even refer to it as jounalism is a mockery. Anyone who buys this rag should be ashamed!"

"I am appalled by Jan Moir's article"

"I am embarrassed that such homophobic bile filled claptrap can be found in our press. Address 18a Station Road, Sawbridgeworth, Herts CM21 9AZ"

"Personally, I think she should be sacked!"

"Send her back to writing about food - counting her chins, that's obviously what she's good at."

"Respect for the dead is sacred. Although I won't shed a tear should Jan Moir fall foul of an unfortunate and tragic circumstance."

"Much disgrace"

"her were unacceptable"

"bigoted witch"

"Vile journalism of the worst kind"

"I am appalled at the factless, amateur journalism, contradicting pathologists expert opinion & publishing sensational drivel that serves no purpose but to upset the family & friends of Stepen Gately."
