You know if there’s such a thing as an ‘underground’ scene going on then this guy Max Allen is a leading light! So much so that a magazine’s been made centered around his genius attitude... Max Allen Loves Experimenting with Different Clothes - A portrait of a modern man by Reba Maybury on Wet Satin Press is launching on...

If you were at the vigil for Orlando on Old Compton Street, you’ll understand us when we say it was one of the most moving experiences of our lives.   Thousands of people descended on Soho on Monday night, in the biggest tribute so far to the atrocities against the LGBT community in Orlando. Fittingly, crowds centred around The Admiral Duncan, the...

by Dylan Jones   What happened in Orlando over the weekend marks a grisly point in LGBT history. It is a physical, merciless attack on our way of life and the values and freedoms we treasure most.

In news from the file marked “Why Bother?” the 78th series of X Factor will be airing later this year.   This time round, they’ve ‘managed’ to ‘tempt back’ former judges Nicole Shitslinger, Shaz Osbourne and Louis Walsh.

These divas were all very Bad Girls last summer and this summer they are going to have to pay. Let’s look at what they did, their horror movie death scenes, and whether anyone...

What’s the total kiss of death to even the fiercest drag queens? Try audience indifference, darlings – no queen alive survives the mass glazing of utterly bored eyeballs! It’s a killer conundrum even more damaging for drag sex-workers – what hope’s left when even bog-standard looks wither and die and punters stop paying? Frankly, no amount of slap imaginable combats...

Following last week’s announcement from the National Health Service that they will not be commissioning the highly-effective HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis medication PrEP, we spoke to three experts on what this decision will mean for the community going forward and what you can do to challenge it.   Matthew Hodson GMFA I’m shocked, disappointed and saddened that NHS England is ducking any responsibility to...

It’s that time of the year when the sun pops out from beneath the clouds for a few days, and we all get dead excited. As well as the various Pride events taking place anywhere there’s a post office, there are some cracking shows coming up. And as much as I love the sun (I mean, have you seen...

We’ve compiled a list of the best peripheral characters in Sex & The City. Because we had nothing better to do, mostly. And because we’ve watched every episode at least twenty times over.
