Iain, much missed Iain, has written - annoyingly Edinburgh seems to be enjoying lovely weather. He writes;
"It has been an exciting time to be gay here in Scotland. I can’t help but
reflect the changes both in the law and attitudes in my lifetime. From
illegality and social loathing to celebrating the Gay Marriage bill in the
Scottish Parliament building. The choir [Loud and Proud] were asked to sing at the end of
the parliamentary session and at the MSP’s party afterwards. I now have
five invites to forthcoming weddings. I hadn’t realised how emotional I would
find it all. Of course just because it’s legal does not mean that there is a
queue of exciting beaus down on their knees in front of me, (l suspect I could
have worded that better), begging for my hand. I have to say that I have
never wanted that for myself but it is certainly making a lot of people very
happy. Of course the religious mafia is claiming that the end is nigh mais
plus ca change. What we need is a strike by gay clergy and stand back and watch
the various organisations grind to a halt. Sadly the new legislations here
are matched by so much repression elsewhere. It’s all such a mystery to
me. Why should anybody care.
Have fun and enjoy the sunshine.
Bises
Iain "
