Dublin once had a famous laundry company, founded by an Irish businessman in 1912. He called it the Swastika Laundry. In the 1930s he was confronted by a dilemma - for obvious reasons. But he was a stubborn man and refused to allow a political hi-jacking by some Nazi thugs to bully him. Dubliners had no trouble with that. He dug his heels in and the company continued to trade under the Swastika name until mergers and acquisitions finally burried it in the 1980s. Has the homosesual lobby plunged us into the same dilemma, and should the rest of mankind bend to the prescription of language it is now being confronted with? Frances Kelly looks at the pros and cons.
