Letter: Why there's nowt so queer as folk like Peter Tatchell

ALTHOUGH Peter Tatchell and I share the same sexuality and the same concern for discrimination against gays and lesbians, I think he deludes himself.

My main worry is with the inward-looking, alienating nature of his questioning why gays should integrate into the wider community. It is only because he sees the world primarily through the prism of sexual desire that he thinks like this. He forgets the whole web of experiences and emotions that are the essence of life, whether gay or straight.
