Ray Gosling (1939–2013) was a journalist, broadcaster, and gay rights activist. He was brought up in Northampton and attended Leicester University, but lived mainly in Nottingham for most of his life.
He wrote and presented more than 100 television documentaries, and was a long-term presenter on the Inside Out programme for BBC East Midlands.
He was an active member of CHE, along with Allan Horsfall from its beginnings, and remained one of its vice-presidents until his death.
In latter years Allan Horsfall and Ray Gosling ran Gay Monitor seeking justice for men wrongly accused of sexual abuse.
In 2011 he confessed on television to having used a pillow, many years before, to suffocate a former lover who had been dying in terrible pain from AIDS. He was arrested on suspicion of murder, but released without being charged, and later given a suspended sentence for wasting police time.
