When Gay Girls Go Straight
I know of 4 different gay girls who have stunned their friends by announcing they're now straight.
I'm coming out. And out. And out
Everyone has a coming out story. I m sure mine was no different from many of yours. But no matter how it came about it s always some sort of relief when it happens because finally the secret's out. You may have been expecting the turmoil or awkwardness of your burst out of the closet but were you expecting to have to do it not just once but throughout your life?
When should we stop pointing out the obvious?
I was in a gay bar in Soho a couple of weeks ago. On my way to the loo I happened across a display of leaflets, and one in particular left me stunned. You can get HIV through your cock in bold type over a close up picture of said cock. So what was it about this leaflet that shocked me? The graphic imagery of the naked cock? Hardly. It was the fact that 25 years after the government launched their Don t Die of Ignorance campaign, gay men are still having to be told the obvious, that if you have sex of any description without using a condom, you put yourself at risk of HIV or AIDS.
Who made YOU the lesbian police?
I ve been following the tweets of a well-known (ish) lesbian blogger for months and couldn t help but notice how every tweet recently has been concerning the issue of what constitutes a real lesbian. Wikipedia describes lesbians as being women who primarily have emotional or sexual attractions to other females. But according to this particular blogger that simply isn t enough.
Equality is our right but are we going about it all wrong?
When Jan Moir wrote that infamous article I felt as disgusted as many of you. Without a shred of evidence she tarnished the memory of a man who died of nothing more sinister than an undetected chest complaint. The latest controversy hurtling around, is the AA Gill article published in The Times. At first read I was horrified. I honestly couldn't believe it had even made it to print, but then I stopped, and thought, and decided I wasn't so sure we'd been the victim of anything, other than the inappropriate use of the 'D' word , at all.
