Keith Vaz, of the Labour Party was chairman of the committee overseeing the Home Office, the department that controls Britain's policy on, among other things, drugs and prostitution. He relinquished leadership of the committee after a British newspaper revealed that he had hired two escorts and asked them to bring poppers to the meet. Cocaine was apparently discussed as well, with Mr. Vaz saying that he would not participate in the use of the drugs. The two escorts being hired are men. Mr. Vaz is married with two children.

 

Vaz argued that "it was deeply disturbing that a national newspaper should have paid individuals to act in this way." The Times article does not state who the individuals were, but who else but the escorts themselves? Other news outlets take different sides, but The Guardian of London has the piece I found most interesting:

An editorial cartoon from The Telegraph:

 

It's unrelated to the above story, but when I was looking into that, I came across the story of a man defending himself from rape charges. He thought the woman was crying because his penis is so big!

Mr. Big:

Lucky, I think a quick e-mailed alert to Sucky might be in order.

I wish people were allowed to live their lives the way they wanted without repercussions based on their sexuality.  If that happened, this would not have happened.  Gay men need an outlet and escorts are a great one.  I wish so much were not made of this. People need healthy sex to survive.  I believe this.
