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!

Matthew Shepard. NEVER FORGET!!
In 1998, Matthew Shepard was brutally murdered in Wyoming, the just for being GAY!
Police investigate ‘horrific’ death of gay man
I could not believe this when, I first read about it on twitter. I was sure someone much have been making it up. Since I could not find anything about it on the BBC news, or Sky news websites. I was really hoping it was made up. Then the gay press started to report it, so it had to be true.
Here is the a section of the news article from the Pink News website.
“Police are investigating the brutal killing of a gay man in Ayshire, Scotland.
Stuart Walker, 28, from Cumnock, was found dead with “horrific injuries” close to Caponacre Industrial Estate, Cumnock, just before 5am on Saturday.
He had been beaten, tied to a lamppost and burned.
There has been speculation that Mr Walker was killed because of his sexuality and police are investigating this theory.”

Makes me feel sick, when I read things like this. How can someone hate someone, so much since because of there sexuality? Hope they find the person/people that did this. And lock them up for good.
US military gay ban ends today
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.
