It is extremely reckless of James Brooks (Letters, March 25) to suggest gay men should frequent Dukes Mound in the absence of male-only commercial venues.
There may well not be any women there at night but recent history tells us men have been viciously attacked and some even murdered there.
Surely it is better for gay men who wish to socialise with other gay men to be able to do so in a safe environment?
Mr Brooks should be ashamed of himself.
