Letter: Gays and the law
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: On 11 October you reported that some Manchester gay clubs now have a door policy to turn away heterosexuals. I took this to mean that, like most other clubs, they simply reject those they don't like, or who are not known to the door staff.
Now you tell us (14 October) that one of the advantages of being a woman is that you can hate football and not be called "homosexual".
Please stop the stereotyping. As a gay man with a beard who does not like lager or discos - thereby ensuring my non-admittance to several Manchester clubs for either or both sexes I am sure - I am also a lifelong supporter of Tottenham Hotspur. I must say that of all these things it is the last which causes me the most angst.
