As media celebrates GLF 50 years nobody mentions my gay music tracks from the 1960s long before queens like Bowie and Bolan picked up on the idea.And nobody mentions that Homophobia still exists but has been quietly adapted as PAEDOPHOBIA. My stupid 2000 arrest and eventual wrongful conviction was a few days before the ECHR forced the UK to equalise the ages of sexual consent. Amazing to think that until 2000 men could only have legal sex with other men if both were over 18 - whereas with hetero sex the age was 16. Males were legally unable to decide who they wanted to have sex with until two years later than UK females. History gets SOO glossed over to fit the new media agenda.

Amazing to think that UK Victorians hanged Gays until 1830.

While the Victorian UK hetero sex age had been 13 for centuries, until another fake media panic in 1885 raised it almost overnight to 16.

Quote visionary Victorian fake media victim, genius Oscar Wilde, 1891: "In old days men had the rack. Now they have the Press. That is an improvement certainly. But still it is very bad, and wrong, and demoralizing. Somebody — was it Burke? — called journalism the fourth estate. That was true at the time no doubt. But at the present moment it is the only estate. It has eaten up the other three. The Lords Temporal say nothing, the Lords Spiritual have nothing to say, and the House of Commons has nothing to say and says it. We are dominated by Journalism.”

yes his name escapes me but it was a "campaigning journalist" from Manchester who basically invented gutter tabloids and caused the pedo controversy you mention.

## He was also a Spiritualist and was warned in a seance not to take a long sea voyage to the USA but he went anyway and went down on the Titanic.

Yes his name was WILLIAM STEAD.

Smalltime Geordie 'Northern Echo' hack made editor/owner of London's POMPOUS Pall Mall Gazette (later turned into dishonest Harmsworth's Daily Mail-icious).

Stead not only invented the first fake pedo-panic, but in the 1890s (when Hitler was an innocent Bavarian boy) conspired with Rhodes, Milner, and Gray to start World War One!

Before Stead fittingly went down on the Titanic - they couldn't touch him for cunnilingus on a BIG Ship!
