As late as the 1980s, Brish public and private tolerance of homosexualy was still more than enough to reers and liv, or at least to do them nsirable damage; the televisn star Peter Wyngar and Leonard Sachs of The Good Old Days were jt two of maybe a dozen actors whose reers never really me back om urt s volvg ttagg, even though there was no qutn of the volvement of mors, or ed anyone other than nsentg adults. Ironilly, that same week, the first 'gay walkg tour' of Soho was announced, and clearly there was a double standard already tablished; suggtns of homosexualy did ltle harm, for stance, to the reers of Kenh Williams or Frankie Howerd, bee their public personae were long tablished as gay, even though they both rolutely refed to tell the tth and Williams once threatened to sue me for advertently, a theatre annual, publishg nothg more overtly 'damagg' than a picture of him on a beach Moroc wh Joe Orton and his killer Kenh Halliwell. I believe, havg rearched some tail the arrt of Sir John Gielgud 1953 wh police who rell the se, that the wch hunt of homosexual actors the years after the send world war was as firmly tablished over here, and did as much damage to liv and reers, as that of the simultaneo wch hunt of Amerin actors and wrers by the McCarthy Commtee on UnAmerin Activi Hollywood.
In the aftermath of the Burgs and Maclean fectn to Mosw, the FBI had strongly requted that the Home Office make every effort 'to weed out homosexuals om Brish public life', sce they uld clearly form a secury risk at a time when the Cold War was still at s height.
