For the past few months the world’s first drag choir have been rehearsing tirelessly at The Royal Vauxhall Tavern, in preparation for their grand unveiling. A mixture of stunning drag and vocal styles make up this unique chorus of talent! Creator and producer of the choir, Catia Ciarcio, told Jason Reid more...   Hiya Catia! You’re making history as the world’s...

You must have heard by now that THE cult 90’s club Pleased is back, and this Saturday 25th June it’s taking over the Eagle in Vauxhall. Pleased was reborn as a labour of love: from one who gave birth to the original and another who wished he was there for the arrival. Kris Chapman and John Pleased Wimmin had...

HAPPY PRIDE! For me this year’s Pride is more pertinent than ever considering recent events; of course every year we should be standing tall and proud, celebrating who we are, being visible in the face of bigotry that sadly still lurks like a dark cloud over what we’ve come to assume is civilised and progressive times. Drag queens and...

We thought we’d ask Dua Lipa what her Pride Essentials were! She’s totes qualified. For a start, she’s performing at Brighton Pride, so she IS a pride essential! A camp commodity! An indispensible installation!  Her smokey-voiced dark pop knells have been wafting unignorably from 5am party playlists and East London barbecues over the last few months. Remember visceral trip-pop anthem...

Stumble from the sea of plastic beakers in Soho, in a shower of rainbow flags and glitter, past Alexandra Burke clambering out of the Trafalgar Square fountain in a sparkly ballgown, and order an Uber from the bottom of Whitehall to PRIDE PART TWO: ORANGE!   Yes, pour yourself a tall, frosty, freshly-squeezed glass of the best Sunday night clubbing experience...

So last week we whipped up the DEFINITIVE QX Pride Guide. Our esteemed pick of things to do over the Pride season. Well, turns out it wasn’t quite as definitive as we thought, because here we are with more. We couldn’t resist! Sometimes you just need more don’t you? Sometimes…a girl needs an inch. That Extra Inch. Is that the...

When the first episode of a series opens with a guy unsuccessfully trying to enter his boyfriend’s anus (first with his penis and then with three fingers) before giving up and demanding to know why he can smell shit, you know this is not your typical viewing fare.   Outings, a new series from TLA Releasing, certainly isn’t pulling any punches...

The Pride in London Festival is a wonderfully varied, challenging and stimulating amalgmation of LGBT events leading up to the main pride celebrations on Saturday 25th. Festival curator Duncan Day, along with a dedicated group of other volunteers, has organised a host of film screenings, performances, panel discussions and everything in between, across the city for anyone to enjoy.   Last...

Ever snorted raw shit? Or lovingly peeled a poxy, ulcerated penis from diarrhoea-disaster Y-fronts? Really, how extreme is too extreme? Should there be any limits whatsoever to the scatological surrealism of fabulously provocative gay art? Yes, better strap yourselves in, boys, there’s a vile road ahead! So, join me in a filthily intimate kiss to Samuel R. Delaney, indisputably...

Here's the QX gay fetish identification guide. With Fetish Week London kicking off, we thought it might be wise to help any newbies discern what their gay fetish actually is, before throwing themselves headlong into their massive program of pervy parties. There’s something for every one, so crack open the poppers, polish your boots, tighten your cockring and get...
