Really complex take pete, one of your best. I've engaged with you previously and enjoy our conversations but please, don't come in here looking for pathetic apologies because of the fact that his apparent sexuality completely vindicated religion on every level to you. That's pathetic and selfish. Nobody is apologising to you.

Not even close.
People appreciate simplicity. I was pointing out that the fact that he attended the club many times, and used gay dating apps makes understanding this situation increasingly complicated - something that I said from the beginning!
Is this allowable amidst the absolutely disgusting repetitive drive-by takes of "religion poisons everything?"
Oh look, the Guardian - a very left-wing publication - agrees with me.
