This article http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/lifestyle/article-23783438-meet-the-gayjacents.do in London Evening Standard has been attracting a fair amount of criticism.

Yup, gay men are more acceptable in fashionable circles in Metropolitan areas than they were 30 years ago. But I can't take this piece as liberated - treating gay people like pets, fashion accessories or handbags when there's still such a long way to go in so many parts of the world seems inexcusable to me.

Oh, and I did comment on the piece - my comments weren't allowed through (and I thought I'd been fairly mild and rational ...).



"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
