Letter: Leith is not welcome in gay clubs
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.THE heterosexual William Leith ('Close shaves in a night out with the boys', Review, 14 March) clearly sees himself as daring for going to a gay club. He flatters himself that he is attractive to all gay men, and is reduced to panic when bought a drink by one.
Perhaps he should remind himself of where he was: reading a gay newspaper, in a gay club, set up in part to provide a safe social environment for gay men away from society's homophobia. He would do me and other gay men (including those of us who like to talk about football) a favour if he stuck to his scruffy pub and his copy of the Sun in future.
