We’re here, we’re queer and we’re shouting! No to gays being silenced in Saint Petersburg
Another reason why UK Pride celebrations need to be so much more than a party – Pride is political and with disgusting Bills like this being passed in Europe we need to keep making one hell of a QUEER NOISE! Please sign this vital petition. Thank you.
To: THE GOVERNOR OF SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIAN FEDERATION
As the top custodian of Saint Petersburg, city of Tchaikovsky and Russia’s “window to the west,” we call on you to veto this draconian bill that could silence the speech of ALL Russians. Russia is a strong, independent country – but we all live in a globalized world. If this bill is signed in to law, I will not and cannot travel to Saint Petersburg, and will urge all of my friends and acquaintances to follow suit. Governor Poltavchenko – Don’t Go There.

Remembering wash day with Whitney
It consisted of one stand alone spin dryer, a bunch of coins for the meter and a sweet gay lad called Mark. Wash day with Whitney in a kitchen in Guildford. Smalls thrown in the air with every ‘Ohhhh I wanna dance with somebody’, a much needed lesson in camp for an Essex dyke, heavy with political intentions but light on gay sensibilities. Whitney, like … Continue reading Remembering wash day with Whitney

I may have had enough time to have knitted Gaultier’s cone Madonna bra whilst … Continue reading Reasons to love Madonna No. 586230037020824: Super Bowl 2012
