Fanshawe, who was involved in the early homosexualist political movement, says, " We ' ve fought discrimination and prejudice, only to wreck ourselves with drugs and wild sex.

Simon Fanshawe is a writer and broadcaster who created the documentary " The Trouble With Gay Men " after becoming increasingly alarmed at the shallowness and destructiveness of the " gay lifestyle. " The film, made for BBC 3 television, questions the emotional and psychological immaturity, narcissism, nihilism and self-destructive tendencies of many in the homosexual community.

Fanshawe says he wants homosexual men to " grow up " and get beyond their state of " extended adolescence.
