US military gay ban ends today

blog No Comments

The ban on openly gay and lesbian US troops ends today (20th September 2011), after nearly two decades. The law, known as Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, allowed gays and lesbians to serve in the military if they kept their sexual orientation a secret.

I know this does not really have anything much, to do with me. Since I am not American or for that matter in the military. But I was reading a news article on the Pink News website. About a young airman that came out to his father via the telephone and broadcast a webcam recording of the event on YouTube.

You may not want to read the comments about the vlog on YouTube, since all the anti-gay people are posting lots of crap.

Gay couple ‘removed from Soho pub for kissing’

blog 2 Comments

I am sure you will have heard this story by now. I first heard about it on twitter.  A Gay couple were asked to leave a pub in Soho for kissing. Can’t believe that things like this still happen and in what is London’s gay area 2. It’s been all over the news here in the UK.

The Metropolitan Police are investigating the incident. I really hope that person that told them 2 leave, loses his job. Also the pub should be fined or even better closed down.

Read about it on the BBC New website.

Just been watching “The World’s Worst Place to Be Gay?” on BBC Three.  Where Scott Mills travels to Uganda where the death penalty could soon be introduced for being gay. The gay Radio 1 DJ finds out what it’s like to live in a society which persecutes people like him and meets those who are leading the hate campaign.

Makes me remember just how lucky I am to openly gay man living in the UK. You can watch the full program if you live in the UK, using the link below.
