Yes, you read it right. A character in a fictional children’s story has been outed as gay by the author of said book. For those of us who don’t know what gay is, the Observer helpfully suggests who it thinks are the three most heterosexual men in the world in order to help us visualise.

There could hardly have been a bigger sensation if Russell Crowe, Rod Stewart or Sven-Goran Eriksson had come out of the closet.

They’ve definitely hit the nail on the head. I’m not sure I can think of any “less gay” people than this trio. Perhaps Michael Caine. Or Sean Connery.
