• 'They pointed and laughed at us,' say homosexual pair
• Steve Mellor started claiming benefits due to long-term illness made worse by stress

Jobcentre bosses are investigating claims that staff taunted a couple with homophobic abuse during weeks of discrimination - calling them 'gay boys'.

Steve Mellor, 23, and Roy Pearson, 28, say they were victimised for being homosexual whenever they went to claim their benefits.

The Department for Work and Pensions is now looking into claims that staff abused them and labelled them with the derogatory term.

I'm sorry but I don't believe this for one second. Although I am lucky to have never been in one of these establishments, I know someone who works in one and the training they have to go through to be overly PC means they just wouldn't dare to act in this way. I think this is similar to someone pulling the race card when one isn't warranted.

Each of those boys is likely proud to say he's gay, ....so what's so derogatory with calling them "gay boys"?

I'm not a reader of the Daily Mail, so I'm not fully aware as to what depths they go into the gutter to fill their pages. I think I'm slowly getting the gist though

She sounds nasty

My Mum's over 90 and she can still disembowel a wayward son with a single look.

I went to my grandad's 90th a couple of weeks ago.....he still guts any fish I take him since he prefers them whole.
