  • The government is to propose a sex discrimination act which, the paper fears, will lock down the 1967 Sexual Offences Act even further. Tony Blackburn on BBC Radio 1 reads out a letter that mentions a someone who is “a real man, not just a big poof”. Meanwhile, BBC Radio 3 runs a balanced programme explaining homosexuality to listeners. Sticking with TV, Alan Whicker’s Yorkshire Television programme The Lord is my Shepherd and He Knows I’m Gay has just aired. You can now get it on DVD.

Reviews include Absurd Person Singular at the Criterion and Scorpio starring Alan Delon.
