From The Last Lion: Winston Spencer Churchill, Defender of the Realm, 1940 - 1965, by William Manchester & Paul ReidTHOUGH
"Though he cared little about a person's sexual preference, Churchill was often quick with clever barbs about homosexuals. Of the notorious Tom Driberg -- Beaverbrook protege, Labour MP, and serial seducer of young men -- Churchill remarked, 'That's the man who brought sodomy into disrepute.' When he learned from MPs in the smoking room that Driberg had married a somewhat plain woman, Churchill announced, 'Buggers can't be choosers.'"
