Letter: Gays need not fear growing old

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: 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.
