Well the truth had to get out in the end.  Britain’s foreign secretary, William Hague,  really does hang out with gay men. Just look at this photograph, he is not only shamelessly smiling but he is actually holding hands with this gay guy who is called, believe it or not,  Guido.

What is modern politics coming to, I ask, when senior figures in government can encourage this sort of thing by posing for gay-related photographs?

Oh, sorry about that folks, I didn’t realize that this Guido chap is, in fact, Guido Westerwelle, the German foreign secretary who was in London on official political business and was giving a joint press conference with Mr Hague on the day that our foreign secretary announced that he was not gay. Apparently Herr Westerwelle’s sexuality isn’t an issue in Germany. To prove that he is not gay, Mr Hague listed the sad and intensely personal details of all his wife’s miscarriages. He was denying rumours, spread oddly enough by another guy called Guido,  that he has had a gay affair with his handsome young political assistant Chris Myers, who has just resigned saying that he too is not gay.

No it seems that Mr Hague is straight and upset by the rumours that have been circulated, unsurprizingly, by a right wing political blogger who specialises in casting slurs at anyone to the political left of Genghis Khan.

Mr Hague does not want to be accused of adultery with Mr Myers because he is happily married to his wife Ffion but it would have done him no harm to make homosexuality sound like less of a sin.

No, William Hague is guilty of something much more heinous than homosexuality……

…..he allowed himself to be photographed wearing very silly clothes.  What was Chris Myers advising, I wonder: “William, are you sure about the cap? You might look cooler in something a bit more, er, conservative.”
