BBC report: 5 Live investigates forced marriage

by Devil’s Food Cake

In a report that both terrifies me and makes me sick to my stomach, a 5 Live Investigation has delved into the rarely considered, but surprisingly prevalent, problem of forced marriages. In an in-depth interview, a young lesbian woman of Middle Eastern origin describes the ordeal she suffered when she came out to her parents – the repeated attempted marriages, the rampant violence and the parental encouragement to commit suicide. … Continue Reading

Colour me in: racial diversity in Lip Service

You guys should know – there are perks that come with writing for TMC, one of which is most definitely preview discs. Oh the joy I felt when the first episode of Lip Service popped through my letterbox – it was a pretty sweet feeling.

According to their website Lip Service was set to hit our screens in Spring 2010. So what’s going on?
