Letters: Gay? Who cares?
What is astonishing is how he felt the need to reveal so much intrusive information about his wife Ffion, including the sadness of possible infertility.
The point I think Mr Hague misses is that we are not a nation of homophobes, and each other's sexuality is of no concern to anyone outside individual relationships. Frankly, we don't care.

Hide AdWhat does concern us all is how Mr Hague is judged by the world's powers as a credible foreign secretary.
Foreign secretaries must at all times have dignity and a statesmanlike prowess.
I can't imagine Mr Hague meeting Mr Putin, to discuss Chechnya or Russia's record of human rights by beginning with: "Hi Vlad, let's listen to some sounds and do a bit of rap."
Does this mean William has to lose his sense of humour? Of course not. He just needs to concentrate a bit harder.

I CANNOT believe the prurient depths to which the media has sunk. Whenever did sharing a hotel room with someone of the same sex presuppose an inappropriate sexual relationship? If it wasn't for the effect on a bright young man's career, and the hurt to a married couple, it would be laughable.
