I didn’t see it myself, but have come across bloggers discussing The Evening Standard’s new gay columnist, Richard Dennen. His column runs on Tuesday evenings.
You can read his column online, and remember to scroll down to see the comments.
The second blow came from Dominic, aged 23 (only five years younger than me), who I’d met on the Central line after a gig a month earlier. We flirted over my new Union Jack Converse, and my friend Assisi Jackson, who had stayed on one stop further with him than me at Notting Hill (her mum, Jade Jagger, lives in intensely edgy Kensal Rise, of course), had texted me his number before I’d even got to my front door. I didn’t bother going home and went straight over to his. It was all very Sliding Doors. Sort of. Except now I was reading an email from him telling how he’d met a dog-walker on Ladbroke Grove and we’d be riding the Tube together no more.
Dr Bryn isn’t a fan, and wonders why Josh Hunt, Gay About Town, wasn’t invited to continue his old thelondonpaper column. Urban Woo, Clair Woodward, thinks it was so bad it set gay equality back forty years.
What do you think? Great to see an out gay columnist writing about gay life, or just an annoying parody of great things which have come before?
