Sexuality is not a private matter. If it were, then David Cameron would not parade his pregnant wife at every sordid vote-grabbing opportunity. Heterosexuality is massively, inescapably public.

Homosexuals who skulk, terrified, denying who they are, contribute to the oppresion of all other homosexuals. So my sympathy for those self-hating homos, who like Laws often seek gain through masquerading as something they are not, is zero. I am rather hard-line on this, but sometimes you have be.
