  • That cute Polish couple are at it again!

    Okay, we love Jakub and David

    Remember Jakub and David, oh yes you do.

    They were the cute gay Polish couple who recorded a video to Roxette’s “Some Other Summer” during the summer which went viral after the band tweeted their love for the video and video’s message of acceptance.

    Well, Jakub and David are back with a brand new video. Despite hideous homophobic threats, the two lovers have chosen a song native to their own country, made famous by a pop Diva, Beata Kozidrak, from Poland.

    The Polish superstar who is a gay icon in Poland loved video so much that shared it on her official site sending congratulations to them.

    The couple said, “We wanted to show that you can have a fun for a whole year”.

    Enjoy!

     

  • DILEMMA | Am I good enough for my two boyfriends?

    DILEMMA | Am I good enough for my two boyfriends?

    A reader asks whether he’s good enough for his two boyfriends, who happen to be husbands. Doctor Dannii Cohen answers.

    Dear Dannii,
    I’m going out with two husbands.

    I’m worried that I’m going to be dumped and that I’m not good enough for these two guys I’m seeing. I’m dating two guys who happen to be civilly partnered to each other. They’ve been together for six years.

    As a thruple we’ve been together for a year and recently they decided to make our three-way relationship closed – to just the three of us. Which is great. I feel really happy about that. But I’m worried that they’ll get bored of me and want to move on without me. I guess I just feel a little left out on my own. I don’t live with them and although I don’t necessarily want that, I do feel on the outside.

    What should I do not to feel on the outside and what do I do if they decide to open up the relationship again – or move on without me?

    Tony, Portsmouth

     

    Dear Tony,

    What I am going to tell you might not be what you want to hear, but understand this: I only have your best interests at heart.

    Even though these men might be nice to you and you probably feel good being part of this thruple, are you sure you want this forever? You say it yourself: they might move on or get bored of it. You are at the mercy of their whims. Where the relationship is concerned they have all the power: years of being together and a civil partnership. The fact that you don’t live with them gives you even less claim on anything concerning emotional ties. This leaves you in a vulnerable position.

    In your letter you say that you don’t feel good enough, that is so sad to hear. No-one should be able to make you feel this way. It also sounds as if you are not in love with either of them, but are scared of being alone.

    If you feel any doubts maybe it is best to leave now and nd a free single person you can connect with. A person who does not see you as a plaything but as a person to love and cherish. It might be scary at first, but you have to protect yourself from being the one to get hurt, as you inevitably will. If this breaks up they will still have each other and you’ll be alone. You deserve better and it’s out there for you.

     

    Dannii.

    Exciting news about Celeb Big Bro, we have a launch date

    People we have a launch date!

    Celebrity Big Brother 2017 | Channel 5

    Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, we’re so excited. Celebrity Big Brother now has a launch date and we won’t have to wait that long. Cancel all plans for the 3rd January. As per usual Celebrities will only be announced on the night!

    There’s been many loud voices in Celebrity Big Brother over the years and in 2017 Channel 5 are bring back some of the more explosive of those personalities, named the All Stars, to battle it out once more to the end with some new faces titled New Stars.

    Looking back through the CBB series we wonder who will be reunited together in the new colourful pop art designed house. Will the powerful forces of  ‘I know this will offend you Katie Hopkins‘ and the ‘24 hour Perez Hilton show‘ be brought back together to battle wits again?

    Or, maybe Ken Morley and Biggins will be back, and hopefully not get booted for unacceptable behaviour this time?

    Maybe Renee will re-enter to finally hunt down some Bear? Of course, we’re hoping for one great big gay CBB house with the delights of Julian Clary, Louie Spence, Leslie Jordan and Austin Armacost.

    We’ll of course, keep you updated as soon as news is revealed on CBB 2017. One thing for sure is this is going to be a series you won’t want to miss as they battle it out for Ultimate Celebrity Housemate.

  • SAM GIFFEN: I don’t remember losing my virginity!

    Do you remember how old you were when you lost your virginity?

    Speaking exclusively with THEGAYUK, Big Brother’s Sam Giffen revealed that he can’t remember how old he was when he lost his virginity. He candidly told us, that he thinks it could have been 16 or 17, but he really doesn’t remember.

    Jokingly the reality star, who appeared in this year’s Big Brother said,

    ” I have to be honest with you, I actually can’t remember. How bad is that? I honestly don’t remember. I think I must have been about 16… 16 or 17!”

    What’s more, he doesn’t recall who he did it with. He has blanked out the experience that he can’t remember who or when it happened.

    In a recent flash poll, readers of THEGAYUK.com revealed that 29% of them lost their virginity before the age of 16, whilst 40 percent did the deed before the end of their teenage years aged between 16 and 19.  Twenty-seven percent said that they lost their virginity at an age between 20 and 30 years old. Four percent popped their cherry over the age of 30.

    Sam remarked that he would change the experience if he could, saying,

    “I’d want to remember it. I’d like to know when it was and probably who it was with!”

    Someone has bet a lot of money that Saara Aalto will win the X Factor

    An ambition/rich punter has bet a whopping £30,500 that Saara Aalto will win this year’s X Factor competition. Should she actually pull it off the punter will be in for an amazing £62,650 windfall.

    The bookies have suggested that Saara is now the favourite to win the competition.

    William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly said,

    “Saara has come from nowhere to become the red hot favourite to win the X Factor and there are plenty of people who have been backing her to win in recent weeks, not least our punter who has staked £30,500 on her in the space of the last seven days”.

    The singer who had a rocky start in her time with the juggernaut show said that she feared an anti-gay backlash and felt forced to live a lie after getting engaged to her girlfriend in the summer. She revealed that she and her girlfriend, Meri were the first gay female couple to come out in Finland.

  • 6 undies you need buy your boyfriend (or you) this Christmas

    6 undies you need buy your boyfriend (or you) this Christmas

    “Oooo! Pants. In my Christmas stocking yippeee”. Said no man anywhere. Or will he? Check out Dan Coleborn’s top 6 choices to stick in your man’s stocking this Christmas.

    For The Sporty Guy

    Understandably sport underwear comes in many different shapes and styles, so unless you know exactly what he’s after I’d play it fairly safe with this one. Going for something along the lines of the Nike Pro Hypercool 6” Shorts is a sure fire way to please any guy who’s more likely to be found enjoying himself on a field rather than in front of the TV this Christmas. Created from Dri-Fit Max fabric and with a compression fit for a “locked in feel” it’s going to be difficult getting it wrong with these babies. Your main struggle might just be picking the colour.

    Get Them Here.

     

    For The Guy With Thighs

    Under Armour Men's The Original Boxer Jock 9-inch

    There’s no shortage of Gays with phenomenal thighs out there – you know the kind I’m talking about, the ones that look like the Jaws of Life that could end you, or save you, in a second. The issue with thighs of thunder is that quite often a little irritable chafing can be the price that one pays for having them. So, if your guy has the thighs of a Welsh rugby player opt for the likes of Under Armour’s Men’s UA Original Series 23cm Boxerjock. Not only will they make his thighs look like there coated in molten chrome, the added length will also help to combat any risk of chaffing.

    Get Them Here.

     

    For The Show Off Guy

    Some guys just like to take what they’ve got and give it a little boost in the bedroom. For this kind of show off go for AussieBum’s EnlargeIT Sport trunks. With their own EnlargeIT Tech built in this is sure to help any show off really catch the attention of anyone else in the room – be it the bedroom, or the locker-room.

    Get Them Here.

    For The Loveable Guy With Handles To Match

    Despite what the media might inform us, not every Gay has rippling abs and 4% body fat. If your guy has a little extra cuddle to him go for a more classic style of underwear, helping to limit discomfort and eradicate the muffin-top. Calvin Klein’s CK One Boxers do the job perfectly without returning to the style of your Dad’s underwear entirely.

    Get Them Here.

    For The Commando Guy

    If your man happens to prefer the feeling of less rather than more, then Andrew Christian’s Almost Naked Tagless Cotton Boxer might be the only way to go. With a pouch that “virtually eliminates sticking, squashing, re-adjusting, sweating and chafing” he might even come to prefer wearing these to wearing nothing at all. Or, you know, you could always just keep it bare and not buy him anything at all – just mull it over.

    Get Them Here. 

     

    For The Playful Guy

    If you’re looking for a slightly more suggestive design for a guy who doesn’t mind putting on a bit of a show, go for a classic PUMP! Jock. It’s all business in the front, with a little party in the back, just as you’d expect from any jockstrap and is definitely a little more sexy than a pair of Christmas socks.

    Get Them Here.

  • THEATRE REVIEW | Strictly Ballroom – The Musical – West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds

    THEATRE REVIEW | Strictly Ballroom – The Musical – West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds

    ★★★★| Hunky dance champion, Scott Hastings throws the uptight world of the Australian Ballroom Federation into disarray when he strays from tradition and introduces his own steps onto the dance floor of the competition. Horrifying his mother, his coach, his friends and, most importantly, the federation’s chairman, his new moves ignite a spark in Fran, the dance school’s ugly duckling. As Scott rejects his potential new partners and routines, he secretly practices with Fran, falling in love as they do. But as they head to the Pan-Pacific Grand Prix Finals, not everything on the judging panel is ‘strictly ballroom’, and Scott is forced to choose between dancing from the approved moves and dancing from his heart.

    In 1992, Baz Luhrmann opened his Red Curtain Trilogy of films with this offbeat satire on the world of ballroom dancing and the film quickly garnered critical praise and cult status. The show has come full circle, moving from stage to screen and back to stage in a production which is wildly vivacious, colourful and as camp as they come. Featuring songs from the film along with a number of new musical numbers, the camp factor is ramped up to the max, with the whole thing swishing around in a swirl of sequins, feathers, 80’s pastel shades and deliberately dodgy wigs.

    Broadway veteran Sam Lips makes his UK theatre debut in the role of Scott, with his strengths primarily in his voice and his dancing; whilst Gemma Sutton relishes in a believable transformation from shy wall flower to leading lady, as Fran.  Richard Grieve steals every scene he is in with his portrayal of the flamboyant Les Kendall and there are brilliantly understated performances from Tasmin Carroll and Stephen Matthews as Scott’s parents. Flesh out the cast with an ensemble of excellent dancers, including a plethora of perfect pecs and bulging biceps and you have a top notch cast who are clearly enjoying themselves as much as the audience.

    The ingenious set design by Soutra Gilmour opened out into the key locations with remarkable versatility and comfortably accommodates Drew McOnie’s steady direction and thoroughly enjoyable choreography. The first act focuses primarily on the narrative, which never strays too far from the familiar film, whilst the second act opens up into a barrage of musical numbers which are unyielding from the opening number right up until the curtain falls, bringing the crown to their feet in thunderous approval.

    With Strictly Come Dancing riding high in the public consciousness, the UK premiere of Strictly Ballroom is well timed, and proves just as undemanding but far more enjoyable than its nearest television counterpart. Whilst underneath the glitz, glam and gayness of it all, there is a rather corny Pygmalion-eque love story, this is one evening at the theatre that is more about the joy of the journey rather than the destination. Cheesy, tongue in cheek and with a distinct flavour of both irony and homage to the art form, it’s a smile inducing spectacle, and one can only hope that a national tour will follow.

    Musicals really don’t come any gayer than this, and the show is a piece of unadulterated, joyous, feel-good theatre.

    Strictly Ballroom is currently playing at West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds until 21st January 2017. For tickets, further information and details of their new season, visit their website at www.wyp.org.uk or call the box office on 0113 213 7700
