Gay Issues In The Left And Right Wing Press

There have been a number of stories in the media this week about gays and lesbians, but today a comment piece in the Daily Mail against a feature in Guardian’s G2 have topped the lot.

In The Daily Mail we have Richard Little John foaming at the mouth over the case of two gay men adopting two children and “stealing” them away from their grandparents.

Then in G2 Julie Bindel tells women to become political lesbians as a solution to escaping rape and domestic violence. Excuse me? Does she really think gay women, or gay men for that matter, live in some kind of fairytale world in which they never inflict violence – mental and physical – on each other?

And as for Richard Little John drawing a parallel between two gay men and two paedophiles, his loathing couldn’t be more naked.
