Even the gays don’t want equal marriage! Apparently.

Nadine Dorries is opposed to what she calls the Metro Elite Gay Activists, who she says are pushing an agenda that nobody really wants. She sums up the tactics of the new homophobia, writes Paul Baker.

“Just who are these Metro Elite Gay Activists – or MEGA-gays as Nadine Dorries claims? I have this picture in my head of a haughty cartoon gay couple called Ivan and Tarquin, living in a swanky loft somewhere near Primrose Hill.”

Tim Bennett-Goodman finds Confessions of a Sex Addict: Part 1 by Michael Wynne to be an honest, philosophical book about a prolific gay male sexual adventurer.

“There is not a shred of reservation or reticence when it comes to minute observations of the sheer physicality of gay male sex – although there may be a tinge of regret, even guilt, about some of his perceived emotional shortcomings or failures of empathy on occasion.”

The Confused Voice of the Opposition.

A reader thinks that homosexuals are militants bent on taking over the world!

“The author is obsessed with sex, listing activities that I had to look up. My knowledge has been enriched now that I know what orchiectomy, apotemnophilia and acrotomophilia mean.”

The Hunt for a Scapegoat.

The issue of ‘gay marriage’ is being used to blame for Conservative Party losses in the 2012 local elections

“The MP for Devon South West, Gary Streeter, has been a vocal opponent of marriage equality, which he calls “gay marriage”, and he is calling on the Conservative Party to turn further to the right.”

They made the gays, after all!.

Dr Julia Gasper thinks there is a link between homosexuality and paedophilia and is upset that people are angry at her.

“Dr Gasper said to her LGBT critics, ‘It’s a shame that most of you are completely mad and need to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Just ring up your GP, tell him your symptoms and ask for help’.”

Anti-gay law in St Petersburg used again.

Police arrest 17 activists at May Day rally for unfurling rainbow flags.

“Before the law was it passed it looked to be a scare tactic, but now it is being put to use its implications are far more threatening. Each arrest is a blow in the struggle for equal rights.”

Justice for Men Convicted of ‘Gross Indecency’.

The Protection of Freedoms Act allows men convicted of gross indecency before 1967 to have their criminal record erased.

“The law is a victory for the groups who have for years lobbied for such a law. It is also a testament to the work of Stonewall, representatives of whom gave evidence to the Public Bill Committee on 24 March 2011.”

Will A Proposed Development End This London Insitution?

Simon Watney writes about the history of The Black Cap, and the cruel face of modern developmental planning.

“The fate of The Black Cap also matters in wider terms, since its history goes back many centuries, like that of The Worlds End on the opposite side of the High Street, which since at least the seventeenth-century had been famous as The Old Mother Red Cap, its name only being changed most regrettably by new owners in the late 1980s.

Book launch, Gay’s The Word, May 24, London.

Author and historian Mark Cornwall reads from his book on Heinz Rutha, the pioneer of a youth movement that emphasized male bonding in its quest to reassert German dominance over Czech space in the 1930s.

“Through a narrative that unravels the threads of Rutha’s own repressed sexuality, Cornwall shows how Czech authorities misinterpreted Rutha’s mission as sexual deviance and in 1937 charged him with corrupting adolescents.”
