I appreciate being 55, I am going to get left behind with some things in life, but this Sam Smith business is all a bit confusing.

He's a great singer, and like most level headed people I've no issue with his sexuality, but now I see on the TV that he's not only non binary, but refers to himself in the plural on his Instagram.

Funnily enough he's got a new album out at the moment, and the cynic in me thinks this publicity might be more than a coincidence, but how does this affect the Brit awards next year and beyond that?

Does he go in Best Male singer or best female?

Or will the Brits end up having a gender neutral award to appease the PC brigade?

I know it will upset some, but I’m sorry it’s absolute nonsense. How much crap are we going to invent to appease the PC happy clappy brigade? Sam Smith has a ridiculously over inflated ego as well.

Hello everyone I’m a porcupine.

Yep I am really struggling to see and understand just why he is so highly rated. Leaves me cold, no in fact his voice irritates the feck out of me and the music is well BEIGE

I can honestly say I wouldn't recognize any of his output vs the sound of navvies digging up the gas mains in Shoreham at the moment. Beige is almost certainly a complimentary description . . .at a guess.

Sexuality? This is about his gender identity not his sexuality.

Irrespective of whether they/he/them/it/e/ver/sie/ey/ve/em/she/tey is identifying as a sofa or a kitchen tap, it is zir/hir/eir/vis/tem/eir/zis/hirs/eirs/vers/ters/eirs right to do so. I would just ask the they/he/them/it/e/ver/sie/ey/ve/em/she/tey to stop making such suicide inducing music because it is ear bleedingly shite. Thanks.

Sam Smith is the best batsman in the world. And, knowing that he scored all of Australia's runs in the series, perhaps he should be referred to as 'they'.

As for the last point, yes I imagine they will. Its not necessarily to appease anyone; more the simple practicality of life if more people identify their gender as non-binary. Ethnicity is another area which is evolving rapidly as well.

What an utterly moronic concept, to demand that people now refer to him as they / their.

So you're gay. Fine, big deal. Why start twatting around with grammar ? I'll keep it simple and just continue to refer to "them" as 'that bellend'.
