/// Unless of course, for some reason the Daily Mail thinks its readership thinks that being gay is somehow a character flaw. ///
I refer you back to my "minority groups being easily offended" comment.
First they want to parade and shout it from the roof tops, and then they take offence if anyone dares to mention that a particular person is gay, even though that person has openly announced the fact.
At least they were also kind enough to add that he was also an ex-Olympic fencer.
Are there no end to this guy's attributes?

AOG - // First they want to parade and shout it from the roof tops, and then they take offence if anyone dares to mention that a particular person is gay, even though that person has openly announced the fact. //
By 'they' - I assume you mean people who are homosexual? You don't need to delineate, they are human beings like the rest of us.
The fact that the judge is willing to advise the world at large of his orientation does not give a national newspaper open season to use that fact to make snide observations with the obvious agenda that it stirs up their Middle England readership. To try and suggest that that their agenda is anything else is simply to deliberately be obtuse.
// At least they were also kind enough to add that he was also an ex-Olympic fencer. // Only because they can infer a negative reference there as well - if he had been a boxer, or a rugby player, or a Master Of The Hunt, you can rest assured they would not have mentioned that.

Who are 'they'?
First they want to parade and shout it from the roof tops, and then they take offence if anyone dares to mention that a particular person is gay, even though that person has openly announced the fact.
Are you talking about gay judges, gay ex-Olympic fencers or ex-Olympic fencers in general?
I ask because it seems like you're lumping a group together and assuming that they are all the same.
This isn't about a minority group being offended. It's about why a national newspaper treats its readers like they're bigots.
The DM realised it had made a mistake and it should be commended for correcting the headline.
I am sure you questioned why his sexuality was mentioned at the time, didn't you?
