Keep talking

by Fairy Cake

REFLECTION TIME.  This is sort of a follow-up to the last article I wrote criticising the way Cynthia Nixon had expressed that her own sexuality was a choice in the NYTimes.  It’s sparked a kind of fascinating debate on here (to be fair, not so much a debate as lots of people saying “You are totally wrong” in a terrifyingly coherent way) and it got me thinking.

by Fairy Cake

Reclaim the Night and trans-women.

by Fairy Cake

RTN, the legendary yearly march against violence against women is happening tonight.  You should probably be there.  However, in the last few years a few close queer friends of mine have been put off attending Reclaim the Night because there was a bit of a transphobic air about the whole thing.

Hate crime in the UK: what’s being done?

by Mint Cake

Queer bashing – it’s not necessarily something you’d expect from one of the most rainbow friendly nations on the continent.

Everyone’s mum should be more like Cher.

by Fairy Cake

To be fair, if that was actually the case, it might be a bit awkward.   Having a mother who swans around in a sheer onesie and has the body of a 29 year old sounds both disturbing and bad for your self-esteem.

Are you free today? Go to Gay’s The Word

by Devil’s Food Cake

If you’ve got a spare minute today and have the ability to get up to Bloomsbury, pay a visit to everyone’s favourite (only) gay bookshop. In the course of last night, and possibly because of the riots that have been taking place over the last couple of days, Gay’s The Word’s shop window was egged and smashed in. … Continue Reading
