The group Faith 2 Action has recently released a video in which they present ‘scientific’ evidence to suggest that being gay is three times more dangerous to your health than being a smoker. Naturally, I was intrigued to hear this argument.
Russian gay milk turns sour
The stereotypical Russian image – a post-Soviet Union and forever emerging economy, with a dominant influence over its Eastern European neighbours, right? Combine this with a lingering communist society and a cunningly rigged presidential election and the topic of gay rights and anti-homosexuality propaganda bans shouldn’t come as a surprise.
Blindly heteronormative
Baby I was born this way
Linda Harvey, a US Radio pundit, who believes Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation is leading children to a “self-destructive path” by “embracing homosexuality”.

10 obvious signs you’re a lesbian & how to cure it
Since reading all about Malaysia targeting children for “gay cures” and the “signs” that your little boy is gay, I thought there should be a proper list compiled of things to look for if you suspect the gal in your life is a lesbian

Stone Butch Blues

Protest at Ukrainian Embassy
A protest will take place outside the Ukrainian Embassy in Dublin tomorrow, Wednesday, 4th July at 6:30pm calling for an end to state-sponsored homophobia in Ukraine. The so-called ‘Homosexual Propaganda’ Bill currently being proposed in that country would ban even the most basic expressions of support for LGBT people and is an affront to human rights and dignity.

Canadian Journalist Killed in Homophobic Attack
Halifax, in the Canadian maritime province of Nova Scotia, is a pretty awesome place to be gay. It’s the city where I first went to a pride parade. It’s also the city where I married my wife. There is a really amazing feminist and queer bookstore there too. A homophobic murder in Halifax is a [...]
Homophobia is Gay
I have always hated this expression. I hate it because, to me, it sounds like we’re still using the word “gay” to mean “not ok”. But in this instance, I may have to concede the point. Because homophobia is apparently, quite literally gay. I know this files under “how the hell do they still get [...]
We need to talk about Myers
I loved what Parallelevision did with Kevin Myers most recent load of tosh in the Irish Independent. What would happen if we changed all mention of LGBTs to a different minority? In this case the black community.
