We have gay civil servants and gay politicians as the norm these days. ( unfortunately not always our best representatives in some cases )This is 2009 not 1959. There shouldn't be a motive for blackmail. In the Uk there is not a reason for anyone to be living in the closet anymore. If they are .. it's their own feelings that's keeping them there. Hello?

This is 2009, not 1958. I would have called the police, the minute these two tried something on me.
