Chechyna Fundraiser: The People’s Film Club presents Paragraph 175

I remember the day I came home from school and asked my mum if something I’d been taught that day could really be true. The subject was the holocaust and my sense of shock at humanity’s ability to produce such horror rocked my teenage soul. And here we are years later and the horror of the needless degradation, torture and killing of people just because … Continue reading Chechyna Fundraiser: The People’s Film Club presents Paragraph 175

One Day Without Us

Just one question. Where would we be without them? I know where I would be. My wife wouldn’t be here because they wouldn’t be there to heal her. I wouldn’t have been abled to study for my degree. My cats wouldn’t be treated. My house wouldn’t be warm. My clubbing life wouldn’t be as rich or vibrant (or occasionally very random). Those late night beachside conversations would never happen. My … Continue reading One Day Without Us

Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter! 10 Actions for the first 100 Days.

Where Streisand leads I’ll always follow. Chasing tugs, running after Doc’s rocks in San Francisco, and even Up The Sandbox (yep I’m that much of a dedicated fan!) Since K-K-K-Katie protested in The Way We Were I’ve always had a thing for Babs and a cause. She didn’t disappoint this weekend when her words took on Trump at the Women’s March in Los Angeles joining the many legends speaking out against Trump … Continue reading Don’t tell me not to live, just sit and putter! 10 Actions for the first 100 Days.

A much needed perfect distraction: Nina Simone’s Revolution

Today I need hope. Today I need to know its gonna be alright. So today I’m reaching for Nina Simone. And filling my belly with fire for the fight to come. Sure it maybe just over the pond but just as in Russia, Indonesia, Lithuania, Eygpt, Iraq, Jamaica, Maldives and over 79 countries across the world, the LGBT+ community of the USA need our support. Anti-sodomy laws were ruled … Continue reading A much needed perfect distraction: Nina Simone’s Revolution

Love will win

The hours may be passing but the horror is not. People like you, and me out dancing with friends, celebrating, loving, laughing. Gone. Just gone. Taken because of whom they’ve chosen to love. Taken in a place that somehow angered a man fuelled by hatred and bigotry. Taken too soon. Taken from a gay community that, just like mine, has built itself up through years of adversity … Continue reading Love will win
