From the Telegraph:

Mrs Howe referred to homosexuals as "sodomites" and blamed "their perverted sexual practice" for sexually transmitting diseases as well as the "downfall of every Empire".

She argues that she is not homophobic, but was expressing her deeply held religious beliefs.

    Blimey, DaninVan, I do declare you’re a Londoner, but at least you’ve reached stage 3 of the Londoner’s awareness index:
    Stage 1: Knows there is London.
    Stage 2: Knows there is London AND the Norf
    Stage 3: Knows there is London, the Norf AND somewhere else.
    Congratulations DaninVan!
