Is William Hague gay?

The Telegraph feel able to allude to this question and the BBC seem also willing to dip their toes in to the water.

Oddly I don't remember any of the mainstream media being at all willing to report the many and varied allegations about the sexuality of Gordon Brown. Indeed until Matthew Parris let the cat out of the bag about Peter Mandelson's sexuality this too was apparently a forbidden subject at the BBC, despite being well known in the real world.

I must be clear that I do not care one way or the other what William Hague's true sexuality is, I do care about the double standards that the BBC and other media apply in their reporting.
