Hang on, folks, I think it's only fair to respect Ake's honesty and perspicacity.

He has, on his own admission, met SEVEN homosexual people.

Yes, a whole SEVEN.

Given this boundless depth of experience, he is entirely entitled to generalise about millions of other homos.

I mean, if I'd met as many as SEVEN heterosexuals, I'd be in a position to lump all of them together and pronounce upon the meaning of their lives.
