With reference to the "Pink plaques" story (The Argus, February 6), I began to wonder why we have to be so obsessed with sexuality?

Every one of us, man, woman and child, not to mention almost every other living thing, has sexuality but it used to be taboo to make much of it.

Nowadays, it seems gay, lesbian and transgender proclivities have to be flaunted at every possible opportunity.

I believe Selma Montford, secretary of the Brighton Society, is absolutely right when she says blue plaques are appropriate to recognise and record the outstanding contribution people make, regardless of their sexuality.
