[Anglicaqn Mainstream] 19 Jan 2008--I realise many of my reader think I have a fixation on the topic… deeply repressed homophobia, no doubt. Why I go ‘on and on’ is not because I am ‘homophobic’. Eyebrows are raised as readers may respond with a disbelieving ‘Oh Yes?’ Well, I have shared my life, my house and my Golden Retriever with lovely gay men and a close female friend who was also bi fell in love with me - the friendship survived intact. And I have spent years listening to the various types of narrative in circulation so I can understand ‘gayworld’ and its inhabitants better. So, I return to the initial ‘fixation’ issue, hopefully cleared of the charge of homophobia, at least.
