У меня есть друг, он комик и ярый христианин. Странно да? (с)
Кто возьмётся перевести?)
"At that time the Gay Liberation Front had begun its struggle against sexual oppression: men were up in arms to be arm in arm, women wanted to be fathers and the other way round; closet doors were blasted off their hinges and I had bought them a defiant tea urn for their meetings. Denis Lemon and friends also at that time had held meeting at my flat in Belsize Park which was the beginning of Gay News. I myself was going through a Militant Homosexual phase. An ordinary pub in Chalk Farm seemed like a sensible place to be wearing flowered shirts and pink trousers like a badge. And a badge.
Later that evening the pinball still attracted us more than the sсript. In the middle of getting my highest score of the day I oveheard a remark from some people at the bar. The word ‘Jessie’ had been used. I looked over and saw two Glaswegian-style football supporters talking to a ‘local’. I walked over to the bar, excused myself for intruding and told them that I was a homosexual and didn’t much care for sniggering snide comments from ignorant people. Perhaps I could tell them a few things about their misconceptions. My friends at the pinball table stiffened, sensing imminent violence. Number one Glaswegian stared straight into my eyes and I stared back. After a long pause in which a fight to the last cell between his excitatory and inhibitory neurones hung in the balance, he said, ‘That was fuckin’ brave, that.’
‘Not really.’
‘No. That,’ he repeated to his friend, ‘was fuckin’ brave, you know just to say that, like that, and that. Fuckin’ great. I mean he didna know us, we coulda fuck’n killed ‘im — ‘a mean, what you havin’, mate?’
‘Well, I was just leaving…’
‘No come on, Jimmy…’
Everyone else in the pub agreed with my new friends that I had been ‘fuckin’ great’, sensibly preferring agreement to having their mouths filled with Caledonian forehead."

08.07.2012 в 00:12В то время "Фронт освобождения геев" начал свою борьбу против сексуального угнетения; мужчины были охвачены восстанием чтобы иметь право держаться рука за руку; женщины хотели быть отцами и наоборот; дверцы шкафов были сорваны с петель, и я купил им вызывающий кипятильник для их собраний.
Дэнис Лемон с друзьями в то же время собрался у меня в квартире в Бэлсайз Парк, что и стало началом Гей Ньюз. Я сам проходил стадию гея-активиста. Обычный паб в Чалк Фарм казался логичным местом для того, чтобы носить цветастые рубашки и розовые брюки как значок. И значок.
