My friend Hilary is reviewing Sad to be Gay tonight at 9 on BBC2. I heard him on the radio this morning. I must say it’s refreshing to hear someone critical of the gay “lifestyle” talk like this. But unfortunately he’s a bit of a blamer – he can’t blame his life on what a counsellor said, about there being no such thing as bisexuality. I’ve heard stories of counsellors saying dreadful things, and behaving appallingly, and I am sometimes ashamed of my profession – but people do have to take responsibility for themselves, even if given bad advice by a professional.

I’ll look at the programme, but I’m not sure I’m going to like it. I saw the review last Friday on Newsnight Review and I wasn’t encouraged.
