Letter: Leith is not welcome in gay clubs

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.
