Gay News died not long after Barry Duke became editor of The Freethinker and suddenly The Freethinker became full of gay news and propaganda which had little or nothing to do with atheism or humanism. Duke said he was gay with the first few sentences he ever wrote for TF and that he got a lot of hassle from "the church" in Africa because he was gay. One could not help thinking that that had helped turn him against the church.(178.236.117.122 (talk) 10:18, 25 August 2013 (UTC))[reply]
Barry Duke did write for the EuroWeekly News for a while but he often preached homosexuality and even made claims that some past famous people were gay, so he no longer writes for them.(90.164.50.80 (talk) 13:50, 18 September 2021 (UTC))[reply]
