The topic of homosexuality continues to occupy far too many column
inches. Here's a recent example:

To me, what people wish to get up to in the privacy of their own homes
is entirely their affair, so long as it is all consensual. That
obviously isn't everybody's view.
Lesbianism doesn't come in for quite the same bashing as male
homosexuality. The shirt-lifter, turd-burgler, nancy-boy etc. etc.
terminology isn't applied to them. There is an element of objection
from some quarters, but much muted.
It seems to me that buggery is the issue behind much of this. It is
the buggering of people that anti-homosexuals appear to be concerned
with.
There is, in my view, no need for anybody to 'come out', to make a
public display of their private activities or perchances, but, to help
the embattled homosexuals, mightn't it be a kindness for some popular
heterosexual figures to 'come out' about their enjoyment of buggery?
After all it's an innocent enough activity.
