50 Shades of Gay tonight on Channel 4
50 Shades of Gay, tonight (Monday 3rd July 2017) on Channel 4 at 10pm should be a great watch
In this personal documentary, Rupert Everett explores the changes in gay life in the 50 years since the decriminalisation of male homosexuality in England and Wales in 1967. He meets LGBT people from all walks of life, including former royal butler Paul Burrell, black gay rapper Jai’Rouge, actors from Hollyoaks, and Southend carpenter Steve, and visits the ‘lesbian capital of Britain’, Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire. So much has been gained in the long journey towards mainstream acceptance, but has something of the rebellious, outsider spirit of gay culture also been lost? Is Britain finally able to accept the full 50 shades of gay?
Look back to Pride in London, 2016!
Here is a look back to Pride in London, 2016! So looking forward to going again this year!!
Gay rights have come a long way, but still have a long way to go!
Loved London in Pride 2016
Loved every second of Pride in London! After what happened in Orlando just a number of weeks back. I had to go, we can’t let hate win!
I was in tears, when we had a minutes silence, during the march. We have come a long way, but still have a long way to go!
Best part, was seeing everyone looking so happy and of course the Red Arrows. I did not know anything about that, till they went over!
I am already looking forward to next year! Think, it will be even bigger and better next year! Since it will 50 years since homosexuality was legalised in the UK!

We Stand With Orlando
Matthew Shepard R.I.P. We will NEVER forget
On Tuesday, 6 October 1998, Matthew Shepard, a 21 year old student from the University of Wyoming, was brutally beaten and pistol whipped as a result of an anti-gay attack and robbery. Matthew was tied to a fence and left to die, only to be discovered by a bicyclist the next day. On Monday, 12 October, as a result of the injuries from the attack, Matthew passed away.
Matthew Shepard. NEVER FORGET!!
In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered in Wyoming, the just for being GAY!

Scotland just became the 17th country in the world to legalise equal marriage!!
A bill which allows same-sex weddings to take place in Scotland has been passed by MSPs in the Scottish Parliament.
MSPs voted by 105 to 18 in favour of the Marriage and Civil Partnership (Scotland) Bill.
Well done Scotland!!!
