Sir: Whatever possessed you to let Roy Kerridge loose on
the gay scene? His Sir: Whatever possessed you to let Roy Kerridge loose on the gay scene? His hysterical rantings and grotesque gener- alisations — such as the supposed age difference between all homosexual cou- ples, to name but one of many — are a sad discredit to your publication. What is the more alarming is that this farrago of ignorance, fear and prejudice should come from a contributor of yours whom I have in the past admired for his sharp and percep- tive reports on his travels around England, not least among the ethnic minorities. I am relieved to find that Adam Mars- Jones is allowed a riposte, although suspect that it is Mr Kerridge from his Paisleyite soap-box who has 'the contrary view' on this occasion.
