Yes.

Back in 1993:

Ever since then, they have kept up a fairly constant anti-gay stance culminating in the infamous Stephen Gatley piece a few years ago.

Well, not 'culminating' - that would suggest it was the last anti-gay story it ran.

how has this thread drifted into the realms of gay hatred and identification of pseudo-science relating to orientation genes?

this is about a government agency spending our money on matters which are nowhere near its constitution or remit, right? and the fact that it's a small amount doesn't make it right either.

That was pretty much answered on page one.

Most threads after they've gone through a few posts, drift where they may...

Thank you for the info sp, I've had a look and I remember it now of course. It caused quite a furore at the time.
