It's just that the older generation dies off. Peter's bigotry is almost certainly going to be extinguised before my liberalism. A slightly depressing thought but a real trend.

I too dread the bringing up of the eponymous "They". I think many of the writers in the mail are just terrified that one day they will be the "They" that people speak of with such vitriol! Hi Heather,

I too dread the bringing up of the eponymous “They”. I think many of the writers in the mail are just terrified that one day they will be the “They” that people speak of with such vitriol!

Currently, it seems to be the last vantage point of the bigot. Education and teaching understanding seems the only way we can stamp out this nasty idea that gay people are somehow lesser or that it's a choice they've made.

But so many of these opinions are based on eroneous and sometimes non-existant fact. It can wear at the heart reading such hated on a daily basis but equally, it's good for people to keep an eye on them. Opinions all have their place even if we don’t agree with them.

Glad to see this blog revived. I used to think the Daily Mail was an irrelevance, just a waste of money. However, I have come across so many people in the last two years that genuinely do believe the lies and distortions it puts out as news and comment, I think blogs like this are doing a much needed job. Even if you are preaching to the already converted, it is positive to have a resource that picks over the mail's latest rubbish so I don't have to and am prepared when one of my relatives or a random acquaintance starts a conversation with the dreaded 'Do you know what THEY've done now...?'

The sad thing is I don't think people like Peter will ever get used to the change in society. We must remember that while yes they are essentially mongering hate they are only doing this because they are afraid. (Of what I am not sure mind you). It is the duty of everyone else bar Peter (and those like him) to make the changes in society as smooth as possible in the hope that we can change their way of thinking. I think David Cameron's geture was very important and a positive first step. The problem of homophopia in our society will mostly vanish over the next couple of generations.

It's not how I'd care to spend my free time! Well written and fair commentary too, which can only help in the proliferation of a valid defense.
