In my post #2, I didn't make my point very eloquently and perhaps I should have expressed myself differently. I was trying to convey that I didn't have an agenda and I wasn't supporting this man because I shared his sexual beliefs, I was supporting him because he was a fellow human being and fellow ex-serviceman.
Regarding old prejudices, well yes hands up here. I did have them in my teens and into my early 20's as I'm sure most of my friends at the time had. But as you get older, your views change and develop. For me it was around the time that my two sons were born and I asked myself "would you love them any less if they turned out to be gay?" The answer of course was no. You then examine your own prejudices.
