Letter: Like can attract like

From Peter Fyfe

Are Simon LeVay’s observations about gay relationships favouring difference tainted because obviously different same-sex couples – such as older white man with younger Hispanic or Asian man – stand out and are thus more easily identified (29 April, p 42)? A quick look around the numerous pairs of clones in long-term relationships evident at any same-sex relationship recognition rally would suggest homosexual homophily is at least as abundant a phenomenon.
