QUESTION: Is the battle [for LGBTQ* equality] won, now?<\/b><\/p>\n

GATISS:<\/b> Oh, no<\/i>. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s a very seductive idea that everything\u2019s fine and that it\u2019s incredibly easy for someone to come out these days. And you can get that sort of thing from a very metropolitan mindset. <\/p>\n
