SO, here we go again. Once more, we are having the desires of a minority group thrust down our throats. This time it is a very small minority group, despite what they may say, and a group that is only interested in its own genus and activities.

I refer to the homosexual 'lobby,' if that's the right word.

There is little doubt that the up-coming Bill to reduce the age of consent for active homosexuals will pass (after all, our Great Leader has issued his thoughts on the matter), even though the vast majority of the population are against overt homosexuality.

By their constant pressure, what an abomination these activists have become. Perhaps they should be reminded that heterosexual sex is a natural thing, and though in this modern, permissive society it has become overhyped, its basic function is to procreate the strain. Of course, there can be deep feeling between members of the same sex, but this is used as an excuse by perverted homosexual activists.

Homosexuals' arguments to support their raison d'etre and activities are specious and inconsequential and they certainly should not be granted the special 'rights' they demand.

As for the church luminaries even deigning to discuss their cause, perhaps they should reconsider Sodom and Gomorrah, which is the way in which we are heading.

Finally, can we have back our adulterated English. There is nothing 'gay' about these people!
