On the cover, a still from the film Fortune and Men’s Eyes is used to illustrate a feature on gay prisoners in UK prisons. Doug Pollard has left Gay News for a better paying job and has disappeared from the colophon. The paper has asked Selfridges of Oxford Street to stock the publication; their reply is a shocked no and a ban from quoting them. The letter is printed in full. Reviews include The Assassination of Trotsky and Diana Ross Greatest Hits.

Your Letters: “Please note that any letters received by us at Gay News unless you state otherwise.”
The picture of a nude male is mis-credited and will be subject of a correction in a later edition, which also points out that the model is very much over the age of 21.

Het of the month: Mrs Dorothea Woodward Fisher. Thanks to Simon Goddard for working it out.
