The lesbian agenda

The British male MPs were mortified that a clause had to be drawn up in the first place, and the Earl of Malmesbury (not a pseudonym) apologised for even raising the issue at all. This from a man who probably went through a few rounds of soggy biscuit at boarding school.

But by far the worst of the bunch was MP Noel Pemberton Billing, who often came up with ludicrous homophobic conspiracy theories which were mainly about lesbians. He also wore a monocle, which is ironic seeing as lesbians used to wear monocles to get laid.

One of these ludicrous stories involved Billing’s friend, the anti-homosexuality campaigner Harold Sherwood Spencer. It all started in 1918 when Sherwood Spencer revealed to Billing the alleged existence of a German ‘Black Book’ that was said to contain the names of thousands of British sexual perverts. He then claimed that the Germans were blackmailing those listed in the book.

Interestingly, Harold Sherwood Spencer had also just been dismissed from the army for paranoid delusional insanity, so obviously Billing believed him to be a credible and believable source…

One day, Sherwood Spencer heard about a Canadian dancer named Maud Allan. Apparently, Maud had been raking in the big bucks dancing in a show at the Palace Theatre in London. Her dancing was so popular with the ladies that one reviewer commented on the large number of suffragettes (lesbians) in the audience.

Sherwood Spencer had heard about Maud Allan and, as expected, it infuriated him. How dare a talented lesbian encourage other lesbians to leave their homes?! So, to make himself feel better, he told Billing that Maud was a lesbian spy who was turning other women into lesbians through the power of modern dance.

Because Billing loved a lesbian conspiracy story, he believed every word, and immediately told the press. At first, no one cared because Britain was at war and the country had more important things to think about. Billing was not used to being ignored, so he published an article called ‘The Cult of the Clitoris’, which immediately got people’s attention, because the British public were not used to seeing the word ‘clitoris’ in print, in their living rooms.

Maud took umbrage, so she hustled up some lawyers and sued for libel. Billing, a true narcissist, represented himself, and even thought it appropriate to have the woman with whom he had been having an affair, Eileen Villiers-Stuart, as his leading witness. It worked, because once in court, Eileen implied that she had seen the names of all the sexual perverts in the book, the name of the judge being one of them!

Billing then found out that Maud’s brother had been executed for the murder of two women in San Francisco. The court decided that this must mean that Maud was a murderer too, so with that and the perverted judge, Billing was acquitted, and the charges were dropped.

Maud couldn’t be arsed with England anymore; I mean, can you blame her? After the trial, she moved to the United States with her girlfriend Vera.
