Letter: Gays need not fear growing old

Sir: I had thought that The Independent would be spared the attentions of that busy band of correspondents who believe that the phrase "get a life" is both the height of wit and the ultimate rebuttal. Imagine my horror when I discovered Dr Alan Bullion's missive of 16 December. I beg you, do not permit Bullion and his fellow cliche-grinders room on your letters page. One fears that if thus encouraged they will never gain the wisdom to take their own advice.
