The war for justice and equality goes on
Many people of different sexualities have been led to believe for some time under the current government that we have achieved gay equality. We haven’t. Not only do gay men and women still run the risk of verbal and physical abuse on the street and in their families and neighbourhoods, but they are unable to simply hold hands when in public unless they are either in the back arse of beyond or happen to be walking down Compton Street in London’s Soho, where there is safety in numbers.
Legislatively, some—not all—of the battles have been won, but hearts and minds are far from universally free of bigotry and the inclination to stigmatise. The war is not over.

Clanger, Miss Demeanour and Mrs Brown, our three female mice, like climbing on top of each other and sixty-nining. Trust me. I’m not mistaken. I know what they’re doing. The one who isn’t involved at any given moment stands watching. We have kinky mice.
