Letters: Sexual rednecks of Europe

Sir: So "the army's position on gender is perfectly PC, moving happily with the times?" (Magazine 10 August). Try telling that to gay and lesbian service personnel abused and hounded from their careers by cowards and bigots they thought were comrades-in-arms.

Britain is, sexually, still Europe's Deep South. And just as the US Supreme Court imposed civil rights on southern rednecks, so hopefully the European Court will demand that our soldiers be judged on their conduct in battle, not bed.
