Skeletons In The Closet

I see that The Times today carries a story on the late Ted Heath, and the suggestion that he "propositioned men for sex". Whether that’s true or not, I have no way of knowing, but what I find faintly risible is that, even now, some of his friends will still publicly deny that he was gay, claiming that he "had close relationships with unmarried women". Well, I have "close relationships with (unmarried) women" as well, but it doesn’t alter the fact that I’m queer.

 

I think a truer view of the matter is the portrait offered of Ted by Matthew Parris.
