The Daily Mail's Andrew Pierce regularly peppers his columns with the dread words "as a a gay man..."You just know he's going to follow it with some crowd-pleasing homophobic twaddle.
Today he writes about 'Annie's Insult To Remember'.
"A record 46 million poppies were sold this year. But not everyone joined the spirit of remembrance.
"While promoting her new song on TV’s Strictly Come Dancing last night, Annie Lennox, 55, crassly wore a red ribbon (denoting solidarity with Aids victims) instead of a poppy.
"As a gay man, you may think I would admire Lennox for wearing an Aids awareness ribbon. I don’t.
Lennox’s new song is called Universal Child.
But to our brave Armed Forces, her performance was more like a universal insult."
It's hardly pissing on the Centotaph, is it?
And World Aids Day is two weeks away.
Pierce's pissy little piece is as underhand as would be Fagburn heading this post; "Heartless Andrew Pierce has slammed Annie Lennox for wearing an Aids Ribbon".
But anyway, once you've ceased reeling from Mr Pierce's dazzling wordplay, you might like to ponder why so many gay journalists on the straight press keep going on about how much they don't like anything gay...
