The lesbian BBC sports presenter Claire Balding and Peter Tatchell, ‘Outrage!’ leader and contributor to a 1980s paedophilia campaigning book, are joint second on the Independent’s 2013 ‘Pink List’ of 101 influential homosexuals.
Topping the list was a journalist by the name of Paris Lees, who was apparently born a man and has had a sex change.
Women’s Olympic boxing gold medal winner Nicola Adams MBE was fourth and Ruth Hunt, Deputy CEO of Stonewall, was fifth.
The judges included Ben Summerskill, Chief Executive of Stonewall, as well as a collection of Indy editors.
Matthew Parris, Sir Elton John, Stephen Fry and Sir Ian McKellen are among a celebrity-laden list of past or perhaps past-it campaigners, whom the Indy fervently hopes ‘don’t mind stepping aside to pass on the baton to those who campaign today’.
The Indy’s ‘Pink List’ of politicians mentions members of David Cameron’s kitchen cabinet while the ‘ones to watch’ list includes the CEO of W.H.Smith. Friends of LGBT people lists both Mr Cameron and Lynne Featherstone MP, who pushed gay marriage through Parliament.

It’s very interesting that Christian Voice is publicising this. I hadn’t come across it anywhere else. I don’t see any criticism (except that Stephen Fry is past it, which I don’t think is true).
Stephen Fry is certainly not ‘past it’ – the man is a genius and as active as ever!
Clever, maybe. Indeed, as my dear late mother used to say, the poor man is probably too clever for his own good.
I like Clair Balding – but why must we know that she’s gay to be on a list anyway?
What’s next, lists of famous liars and thieves or those who copulate with animals?
There are pictures of Paris Lee on the BBC website in a state of some undress. I think most people would agree that he has overdone it .
The BBC quote Paris as saying :
“I was like, oh my God, all these people know who I am now . ……. It was like a sit-down dinner thing and I was at the top table with Ed Miliband and everything.”
Some journalist !
