Garth George

Comedian Anne Speir says of George's column: "As he seems not to have a problem with female homosexuality it sounds like he harbours that age-old straight men's sleazy fantasy about two women making love," says Speir. "I only hope he's keeping his hands above the blanket!"
In a more serious vein, Speir believes George's specific omission of lesbians from his list points to "the fact that he doesn't think about us girls because women don't count in his patriarchal world."
Political activist Lisa Prager, taking a moment off from needling Auckland's local body politicians about their handling of the 'supercity' amalgamation, did not bother to hide her contempt for George. "I find his sort of attitude towards glbt people abhorrent, ignorant and pathetic," she says.
Footnote: A GayNZ.com occasional contributor and ultra-reliable source says he is quite sure that some years ago Garth George admitted in a column that he had no problem with lesbians.
