Letter to the editor
Jan 21, 2025
Dear editor,
Has the editorial guard of the Grapevine dropped so low lately as to be entirely below the belt? In the Jan 9 issue, readers were exposed to a 2-page feature article about sexual preferences on PornHub. In the Jan 16 issue, we got the opportunity to read a ranting letter that advised Trump to “Go f*** yourself with your atom bomb”. This was followed by a poem of a man examining his genitals at a urinal and apparently not finding much.
Whereas some Denmanites say they are only using the Grapevine to light their winter fires, I usually enjoy reading it. So, why don’t the editors hoist up their trousers and use a bit of discrimination?
If you want to do an article on hyper-sexualization and gender confusion, how about an exposé on the SOGI agenda books in our school libraries? That should be shocking enough for most readers.

Editor’s note: The Islands Grapevine received an abundance of negative feedback for not censoring Stephen Malthouse’s “controversial” views during the pandemic. Now Malthouse would like us to take a more censorious position regarding sexual content he is clearly triggered by. The views expressed in his letter do not reflect the views of The Islands Grapevine’s publisher. We do however, as always, encourage the use of our beloved weekly newspaper as a firestarter. Brrr..
