The letter below appears in the current issue of The Church of Ireland Gazette which is the Anglican version of The Irish Catholic - It was in response to a column the previous week and David as usual scores a direct hit:
Ed Vaughan on homosexuality
I was greatly entertained by a full page article by Edward Vaughan on ‘How to be Homosexual’ (Gazette, 10th July), but I felt it lacked meat and needed to be fleshed out. It certainly wasn’t a complete manual. However, despite its deficiencies and intellectual contradictions, it was at least a beginning from an unexpected source.
Yet, there needs to be balance, and I really think your editorial board, in the interests of fair play, should invite some old fairy like myself to write a piece on ‘How to be Heterosexual’.
Anyway, thank you for brightening up my week with a bit of a laugh.

You can always rely on David for a bit of outrageous common sense.
Unlike Ed Vaughan.
Agreed lads ;-)
I like David Norris and enjoy listening to his radio show. Bit disappointed here though as surely this was a golden opportunity for him to engage with someone who genuinely wanted to start a dialogue rather than using a thin veil of humour to dismiss it. Let's hope he doesn't leave it there.
I know what you mean but I do think David had a point - Remember as a Senator he is used to the banter and the cutting comment that parliamentary privilege allows and yes it would be interesting to have a dialogue between David and Ed.
