DOUBLE STANDARDS

SEAMUS LYNCH,

SEAMUS LYNCH,

Madam, - Congratulations to Kathryn Holmquist for her excellent article concerning the supposedly lesbian duo t.A.T.u. (Education & Parenting, February 18th). Not long after so many of us vented our indignant rage in the direction of Ballymaloe, it is proof of our hypocrisy that a CD single, whose video displays young teenage girls kissing in their school uniforms, tops the Irish chart.

In a liberal age when everyone is afraid to ban or speak out against anything, thanks to Ms Holmquist for labelling the video and the whole concept of t.A.T.u for what it is: child pornography. - Yours, etc.,

SEAMUS LYNCH, Portrane, Co Dublin.
