Those of us who are out, gay, and proud of it, or who have been able to take advantage of civil partnerships here in the UK, and marriage in other places, need to recall and honour those who suffered much in order to give us those opportunities. Ken Young, whose obituary is in the "Other Lives" column in the Grauniad today, is one such man. Read his story, and be amazed and humbled.

isn't that wonderful. thanks for posting.

as the edge of the £2 coin says, "standing on the shoulders of giants". You and I and the rest of the gay population today are where we are now because we stand on the shoulders of giants like Ken, who got a much worse deal in life than we did.
