I think he organised a gay rights conference (at a Library I think?) and let the MBLA (Man Boy Love Association) speak at it...they crucified themselves anyway. John was never comfortable with that lot, they creeped him out, but being a political activist I think he thought it best they were allowed to have their say. Undercover reporter was there, and thus big splash the next day.
Second most interesting thing he did was appear on BBC2 defending cottaging...when working at Hackney secondary school. Apparently they were OK about it. Can't imagine that now...
One of these days I'm going to track down that front cover and make a t-shirt :-D
