Thatcher a gay icon?

Watching the BBC News today I heard Thatcher descibed as "a guy icon". During the Thatcher years I was doing very well as a film maker and producer until I made two gay films, What a Gay Day and Dial a Guy. My solicitor David Offenbach of Bond Street called me to his office. I was told that Thatcher had a bee in her bonnet about gays. Anyway to cut a long story short the deal was that if I agreed to take the two gay films off the market my distibution company Videx Ltd would be allowed to carry on as usual selling heterosexual films. I refused!
That cost me my freedom!
