Were the hell did poof come from? I've never heard that one. Gays and bisexuals are just as normal as straights. Just look at ancient Rome were you were weird if you werent bi. Yea bitch. Sexuality is very fluid and does whatever it wants trust me I know. Theres nothing wrong with liking other men. Especially on a planet as over populated as ours if you are in a non procreating relastionship your doing our species a favor at this point.
As Bill007 says, poof is a British term for a gay man. Poofter is a derivative word that means the same.
It's considered derogatory now, but when Monty Python used it back in the early seventies, the word was tossed around quite casually. Back then, many British sitcoms also deployed racial stereotypes for comic purposes, and the language could be very racist. It was a different time.
Fair play but it wasn’t legalised in Scotland ( where I live) until 1987 there’s more than just England in the uk and Scotland has entirely separate laws
Homosexual acts were decriminalised in Scotland by the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980, which took effect on 1 February 1981, and in Northern Ireland by the Homosexual Offences (Northern Ireland) Order 1982.
Should poofs be allowed

No it wasn’t, in 1967 homosexuality for men was legalised in UK. For women it was never illegal

Fair comment although you actually have the year wrong. It was 1980 in Scotland and 1981 in Northern Ireland

Sounds like an awesome time to be honest
Great reply. Well stated! BTW, Poof, I believe, is a British term. It was used on Monty Python's Flying Circus all the time instead of gay.

Life of Brian is way better.
It's a series that ran from the late 60s into the mid/early 70s.
