Letter: Hatred for gays

Sir: When attempting to gauge the voice of Teenage Britain about the gay age of consent, you might have widened your net a little. Your representative speakers all happened to be BTec business and finance students at a North London college. Had you bothered to ask a broader cross-section, including those studying English, art music or drama, you might have found a Teenage Britain that is less rabidly homophobic.
