As you would expect, since the news broke on Monday night that the broadcaster Ray Gosling had mercy-killed a lover who was dying painfully with AIDS, column inches and broadcast minutes galore have been filled with the sad story, which we carried on this blog yesterday.
Since I posted that story, a YouTube video has appeared. We need say no more about the matter than we did yesterday, when we criticised the do-gooder who wanted to see a prosecution of Ray Gosling. But here is the short clip from that programme in which Ray Gosling made his secret known to viewers in the East Midlands – and now to the world.
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.
Very moving.
