Be Yourselves

The octogenarian and nonagenarian residents of the Pilgrim Home in Brighton, stripped of their annual grant of one hundred thousand pounds from the Council because they refuse to answer intrusive questions about their “sexual orientation”, should simply tick whichever Other or None Of The Above box is available.

The terms “lesbian”, “gay” and so forth make sense only in terms of the theory, invented well into the middle age of the Pilgrim Home residents, that engagement in homosexual acts, or an inclination towards such engagement, constitutes an individual and collective economic, social, cultural and political identity.

That theory is scientifically, historically and cross-culturally baseless and illiterate. And its invention was by pederasts. No one (including those who happen to engage in homosexual acts, or to be inclined towards such engagement) who is not a scientific, historical or cross-cultural illiterate, nor anyone who is not a pederast, should have any truck whatever with it.
