    'During the 1690s rumours of William's homosexual inclinations grew and led to the publication of many satirical pamphlets. He had several male favourites, including two Dutch courtiers to whom he granted English dignities: Hans Willem Bentinck became Earl of Portland, and Arnold Joost van Keppel was created Earl of Albemarle'.

    I concur, and it's very convenient how the huns remember him as 'Billy' and not '*' - probably to divert attention away from his tendency to footer with men's genitals, which - in their endless dignity - probably causes them untold feelings of shame and the need to sweep it under the carpet. :50:

    There will be no gay pride banners at Ibrox in the foreseeable future, which isn't like them as they are normally very forward at publicising their 'heritage'. :56:

    Nothing wrong with homosexuality, but it is quite amusing given how intolerant the Huns are, and also considering Northern Ireland Unionists were found to be the most homophobic of all people on the British Isles.

    That's what I mean, generally the huns are all for vehemently declaring all their intolerances against all odds but now that its emerged that their guru is a poof they're all hush hush about it. :icon_mrgreen:

    Shame on them. :celt_2:

    ----Bentinck's closeness to William aroused jealousies, but some modern historians doubt that there was a homosexual element about their relationship. The same could not be said for Keppel, who was 20 years William's junior and strikingly handsome, and had risen from being a royal page to an earldom with suspicious ease. Portland wrote to William in 1697 that 'the kindness which your Majesty has for a young man, and the way in which you seem to authorise his liberties ... make the world say things I am ashamed to hear'. This, he said, was 'tarnishing a reputation which has never before been subject to such accusations'. William replied, saying, 'It seems to me very extraordinary that it should be impossible to have esteem and regard for a young man without it being criminal'.-----
