England: More on Tory leader who was sacked for opposing Clause 28 ============================================================ Los Angeles Times, December 5, 1999 Times Mirror Square, Los Angeles, CA, 90053 (Fax 213-237-7679 or 213-237-5319 ) (E-MAIL: letters@latimes.com ) ( http://www.latimes.com ) LETTERS Gay Club: Fairness, or a Wider Agenda? I was interested in reading Dana Parsons' Nov. 28 column about the Gay-Straight Alliance club proposed for El Modena High School. My daughter is one of the two students who have been forced to file a lawsuit to protect her civil rights. Please don't call the students litigious. That refers to people who file lawsuits right and left at the drop of a hat. Believe me, that's not the case here. This is a well-thought-out action.

I admire William Hague. I have been loyal to him. I was proud to be invited to join his front bench team last summer and happy to be bound by the rule of collective responsibility. And I will continue to serve him loyally from the back benches. But I could not sacrifice a principle as important as the one which surrounds the Section 28 policy banning local councils from dealing with homosexual matters in schools.
