Good morning folks, I hope this Friday finds you in good form and chomping at the bit for some gay news and views from around the globe. As you may or may not have know, we all marched last Sunday for gay marriage with the good people of LGBT Noise. I was amazed at the turnout! Gooner was on hand to record the big day. Continuing with the theme of marching but on a much more monumental scale, the people of Mumbai in India are having their second ever Pride march.
This follows on from the decision by the New Delhi Court to repeal Section 377 of India’s Penal Code which which criminalized homosexuality.

“This is like the early pride parades in New York, when people were fighting for the right just to be present and be on the streets,” said Kabi Sherman, an organizer of this year’s march.

This will come as shocking news to some people but You can’t pray gay away.

The first night he spent in his newly decorated and furnished bedroom, Michael and I woke up every 15 minutes wondering if he was still alive. Scott, meanwhile, slept soundly for a good 12 hours. It was a relief to hear him singing to himself at 6.30am. There have been unexpected moments. When the three of us first got on a crowded Tube train, with Scott in my arms, a woman gave up her seat for me.

Well there you have it folks, one of the reasons we shouldn’t have allowed have kids. Because we will stay awake all hours of the night worrying about them. Just like any other parent.

Bisexuals, finally some positive press from The Examiner

One of the first assumptions that the less accepting members of society make about people who identify as being Bisexual is that they are only on a greedy stop to being fully gay.

Pinknews.co.uk reports that Sam Fox is hoping to tie the knot with her partner soon.

Fox said: “We might get married here and have the do [party] in Siberia. We might get Liz Mitchell of BoneyM to do the ceremony – she’s a pastor now.”

I wonder if Agnetha from Abba would do my ceremony? I could see it now.

I’ll finish up by saying that apparently Stewie is gay!

“We had an episode that went all the way to the script phase in which Stewie does come out,” MacFarlane, the show’s creator, says in the September issue of Playboy magazine. “It had to do with the harassment he took from other kids at school. He ends up going back in time to prevent a passage in Leviticus from being written: ‘Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is an abomination.’
