The reason is simple. It is because there is nowhere in Cheshire for gay men to go.
If we had a gay pub in Knutsford it would stop gays going into public toilets for sex.
But I suspect the bigots in this town would burn the pub down so this would not help us at all.
Maybe the town should look at the benefits a gay pub could bring. You just have to look at the thriving gay community - and all the money it brings in - in Manchester.
The city now has the biggest gay places in the North West of England.
I know people in Knutsford are talking about the man who demolished the toilets.
But what did he really achieve? Not a thing.
Macclesfield says it intends to rebuild the toilets with taxpayers' money. The man who wrecked them may not even be working so he won't be paying.
Town needs
a gay pub
