Is it our business if Alison Mau has a girlfriend?

At what point does information become a public matter? The Herald on Sunday has been slammed after “revealing” that TVNZ presenter Alison Mau is in a same-sex relationship. The outing has created unease for members of the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender (GLBT) community, who feel Ms Mau has been treated unfairly. Does the publishing of this kind of information make a mockery of society, given that those charged and convicted of crimes go unnamed?

This woman isn't a celebrity or really news worthy in anyway, she just reads of a telly prompt for a living. The huge tantrum she threw over a few magazine articles (the stories about her private life about which I'd never heard of until the moment she brought it up on national TV) made her seem like a hysterical, self-obsessed, self-righteous menopausal woman staring down the barrel of 50. Why not deal with the matter in private? Her tyrade on TV made much bigger headlines than those gossip mags stories could ever hope to.

It's nobodies business whose sleeping with who whether they be straight or gay, it only becomes your business when the people involved make it your business by telling you themselves, till then it should only be taken as hear say. I think invading the very personal lives of people whether they're celebrities or not is a gross invasion of their privacy

Funny how those that seek attention in their careers combined with publicity in the the print media (and are sometimes paid for both) get bitter fast when the attention is not of their liking.

I really don't care what Alison does. What I do care about is the way she handled it. I use to really like her, but after listening to her outburst on Breakfast, I went totally off her. Not for her sexual preference. I think she is really beautiful and I love the fact that she hasn't had cosmetic surgery and is growing old gracefully, I just wish she didn't have that silly outburst. She is in the public eye and has to accept these things.

Betty, most of the NZ media are at the same journalistic level as the UK/US tabloids. There aren't "celebrities" in NZ so they target people like Alison

Ali is extremely good at her job with TVNZ, for god sake leave
her alone, and get on with your own lives, she's not doing you
gossipers any harm.
