    Police are calling for witnesses after a man alleges he was raped by two men he knew.

     

    A man has told police in Sussex, England, that he was raped, in daylight, by two attackers that he may have known.

    Since Sunday, the public have been voting to save BEAR, FRANKIE, KATIE, MARNIE RICKY and SAMANTHA from the second DOUBLE eviction of the series.

    During last night’s Channel 5 programme, Emma Willis announced live to the house that the seventh and eighth Housemates to leave the Big Brother house were Katie and Samantha.

    The pair said their goodbyes left the House together and were greeted by cheers from the crowd.

    Emma interviewed the pair together and both said it was a “relief” to be out, “We need a drink and a bar!”  Katie laughed.

    Nominations from Ricky and Frankie, Katie said: “I enjoyed just being me, people mistake the fact I get on with everybody as people pleasing… I even got on with Bear.”

    Katie on being nominated by Frankie, “It became a weird unspoken thing…I knew he was going to nominate, it really upset me.”

    On Heavy D, “He kept coming for me, I really wanted to relay the message, ‘you don’t’ speak to anyone like that let alone a woman…’ then I thought I’m gonna bring out the big guns!”

    Sam told Emma, “It was easier than I thought it was going to be… I’m not sort of person to sit there and take it.”

    Sam on the divide in the house, “I was surprised the American’s put me up, I wasn’t surprised about Marnie cos I voted Lewis, and maybe they (the Americans) found me a threat or something.”

    Sam said the ‘most challenging’ thing in the house was, “putting up with Bear, I can’t Bear him, challenge.”

    Katie, “It’s been one great amazing challenge,

    On their winners, Sam wants “Ricky or Frankie.”

    “Marnie to win!,” for Katie.

    The Voice’s Jordan Gray who has been touring the UK for Pride season has spoken up about a transphobic encounter she and her girlfriend endured on the 22nd August.

    The verbal assault took place in Stockwood Park in Luton as the couple kissed.

    On the 22nd August, as Ms. Gray and her girlfriend kissed a man approached the pair and told them to stop as he didn’t want his children to see them displaying affection in public.

    Gray’s girlfriend asked the man what the problem was.

    Speaking to GayStarNews Ms. Gray said,

    “He then turned to me and kept asking, ‘You’re a tranny, are you a tranny?’.

    “I very calmly told him that’s not a word you use.

    “I said it as diplomatically as possible. And then when he said it again, I said I would call the police.”

    When the man continued, Ms Gray called the police, but the perpetrator fled the scene with his children before they could turn up. However Ms. Gray was able to take a picture of the man’s license plate before he escaped.

    She added,

    “It hurts and that’s not an exaggeration,

    “He was completely sincere in his beliefs, and what he believed is completely counter to my existence. It hurt my core.”

    This is not the first crime against a trans person, last week (18th August) a trans man was attacked in Leighton Buzzard. He was sitting in the recreation ground in Parsons Close.

    The victim was punched and kicked by a group of youths and adults after they attempted to take his bag.

    Call DC Godfree on 101 with information, or alternatively contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
