  • Those Bromans are now comparing d sizes

    “Give ’em what they want…”

    Those Bromans are now comparing d sizes

    We can almost hear the ITV execs screaming at the producers of Bromans – ITV2 brand new reality vehicle. Despite it being oh so very heteronormative they’ve managed to squeeze just enough gay into it, to satisfy us here at THEGAYUK.com.

    In a heart to heart, two of the Bromans. Brandon and Glenn turn to the subject of peen sizes – over lunch. Well, if you are going to talk about willies, why not over a heart chilli special.

    Glenn said to Brandon, “So everybody in here’s saying you’ve got a massive schlong”.

    Brandon replied, “Tom loves it, he was literally going on about it, saying, ‘You’re the most longest I’ve ever seen, how do you do it?” I was like, ‘I don’t know I think it’s just natural’.”

    Glenn, whose interest was piqued, asked, “How big is it?”, ever the man after our own hearts…
    “It’s a bit like the chilli,” Brandon shot back.

    And then that’s when this happened.

    What ensued was basically porn, as Brandon fed Glenn his chilli. We sh*t you not.

    Glenn revealed that his friends call him “Girthy Glenn…” – a picture we can not/do not want to get out of our heads.

    You can catch up with all the comparing on the ITV HUB.

    Police are searching for a man who wore a dress to rob a shop in the Manchester area.

    Police are search for "man in a dress" after he robbed a shop in Hulme

    Police are investigating a robbery in which one of the alleged assailants was wearing a black dress and a yellow and purple silk scarf.

    At around 9.30pm on Monday 25 September 2017, police were called to reports of a robbery on Stretford Road.

    Two men had entered the McColls shop and threatened three assistants with a knife.

    They forced the staff to open the safe, taking money from inside before emptying the cash registers in the shop.

    The offenders have then fled the shop through the back door.

    Black Dress and Yellow And A Silk Scarf

    One of the offenders is described as a black man of a medium build, around 5ft6in tall wearing a black dress and a yellow and purple silk scarf, which he used to cover his face.

    The other man is described as an athletic black man, around 6ft tall, wearing a grey hoody, grey tracksuit bottoms and red trainers.

    Detective Inspector Gary Smith of GMP’s City of Manchester Borough, said, “These men showed a complete disregard for the people who were simply doing their job, when they used knives to threaten and steal money from the shop.

    “It must have been a terrifying experience for them to be met by these two men who set out to take the money using whatever means they could.

    “I’m urging anyone who recognises the description of the two men, or saw something that could help with our enquiries, to please get in touch and share what you know.”

    Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 4402 or 101, quoting incident number 2215 of 25/09/17. This can also be done anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

  • History is made as two men wed in a UK Church

    A gay couple in Scotland has made UK history after getting married in a Church.

    Peter Matthews and Alistair Dinnie have made history after becoming the first same-sex wedding to take place in a church wedding. The marriage was permitted because rules around gay marriages in churches were relaxed earlier this year – but only for churches in Scotland.

    The couple Peter Matthews and Alistair Dinnie were married at St John’s Church, run by the Scottish Episcopal Church (SEC).

    The Scottish Episcopal Church was the first Christian church in the UK to allow same-sex marriage in its churches. The rule change was not mandated however and clergy will not be forced to officiate at those marriages if it goes against their conscience.

    The amendment to canon law on marriage, which removed the stipulation that marriage is only between a man and a woman, was carried by the Synod in Edinburgh.

    Same-sex marriages cannot take place in Church of England churches or at all in Northern Ireland.

  • Trump Administration Argues Against LGBTQ Protections

    Why does President Donald Trump care about what gay people do in the bedroom?

    The question came up this week, when a lawyer for Trump’s Department of Justice argued that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not protect LGBT+ Americans from being fired because of their sexual orientation…

  • This Brighton church welcomes its first non-binary, trans man ordained minister

    A Brighton church is the first to welcome their first non-binary, trans man minister.

    Rev. Peta Evans is to join the church in Brighton as an Associate Pastor. The Village Metropolitan Community Church is a church which was created by LGBT+ Christians, their families, their friends and allies.

    The Reverend’s first sermon is due to be given on the 8th October at 6 PM at the Village MCC. In 2010 Peta left Brighton to train a clergy intern in North London and now is returning to Brighton

    When not ministering, Peta is a care-worker and tailor.

    Rev. Peta said, “Returning to Brighton, I am excited to serve again in the community which first welcomed me and supported me in both my ministry journey and my gender transition. I would love to see the sincere passion and integrity of The Village MCC reach out even more widely to people of all ages, gender identities and walks of life.

    “I am also enthusiastic about reclaiming the Bible from those who have tried to make it a weapon against those who are different, and I’m starting a group for Trans people to do just that, ReTranslation, to look at the text for themselves without past interpretations getting in the way. I have a love for Celtic spirituality, which weaves together the practical and the spiritual, finding depth and delight in all things, no matter how mundane, and for creative expressions of spirituality, which I hope to share with The Village in the coming months.”

    Rev. Michael Hydes, Senior Pastor of The Village MCC said, “I’m looking forward to working with Rev. Peta. Their rootedness in Celtic Christianity and experience working in the Trans communities are just two of the many gifts they bring to their work. I know we’ll all be enriched by their participation in our church life and leadership within our community of faith.”

  • COMMENT | Discovering I was different

    What was I?

    Getting information was difficult in the 1970s. It was all so confusing. My point of reference was the tabloid press. It was what my father and grandfather read and the only available resource. I knew I couldn’t ask them.

    When an actor or pop singer was in disgrace for an unmentionable act with a member of the same sex, it was all so vague. I thought I knew that couldn’t be me though as I couldn’t act or sing and had no desire for the attire and makeup of the glam rock era.

    In the playground, I heard the same derogatory remarks slung at boys from each other “you’re a bummer, a wanker, a homo and a queer.” The narrative had an intent to offend and insult, but I didn’t know what the words meant. Did one of those words describe me?

    The narrative had an intent to offend and insult, but I didn’t know what the words meant. Did one of those words describe me?

    It was about 2.45pm on a Wednesday afternoon in the early summer of 1974. I was 11 years old. Taking the Environmental Studies class was Miss Barker a temporary teacher. It was her first day and our first lesson with her.

    She was a  pretty young woman in her early to mid 2os. Casually dressed in jeans and a white T-shirt with a v-neck. Her cleavage was pert and visible. The colour of the clothing and bra beneath did nothing to conceal that she had nipples like Tractor stater buttons.

    One of my friends suggested he would like Miss Barker to run her fingers down his spine. He shivered as if the thought of it had made him tingle all over. The other boys we were sat with all eagerly joined in expressing similar opinions.

    I knew I did not want her to touch me. Geoff the boy at the front who was athletic, having experienced a pre-teenage explosion of testosterone would be my choice.

    I don’t know why but I didn’t share it with the others. I knew it meant I was different but I did not have a name for it; or anyone I could talk to about it. In that instant, I had learned something about me and I knew it would be my secret for some time into the future.

    It would be nearly 5 more years before I found out, I was not one of those playground taunts; but that I had hit the jackpot and was all of them!

  • Shopping is more stimulating than SEX

    Shopping could be more stimulating than SEX, according to a pioneering neuroscience study.

    Scientists have today unveiled the physiological effects of shopping on the human brain, revealing how “inspired shopping” can deliver moments of prolonged highs in the brain comparable to sexual intercourse.

    Experts isolated the secrets to better browsing by analysing Gamma brainwaves which are scientifically linked with higher mind-states of creativity and extreme pleasure.

    Partnering with mind-tech experts, MyndPlay, the data unveiled some astounding insights about how Brits can put the inspiration, satisfaction and pleasure back into shopping.

    According to the data 84 percent of Inspired Shoppers experienced a ‘buyers high’ at check-out, comparable to a Formula 1 driver finishing a circuit – and twice that of their “Shop-y-cat” counterparts – who just buy things to “fit in”.

    Shop-y-cat Shoppers, on the other hand, felt exhausted, with an accumulative 30 percent increase in mental fatigue every ten minutes while shopping.

    The results also show Brits can train their brains to stay in the inspiration zone and shop better by staying present, still and calm.

    Rob Hattrell, Vice President of eBay UK, said: “Shopping is personal. It’s a reflection of what makes you, you.

    “eBay is encouraging Brits to reject the boring and beige, and to stop shopping like everybody else. Instead, we want shoppers to be bolder and express their individuality.

    “This fascinating research gives great insight into the highs that can be achieved when you hit the zone of inspiration and shop like nobody else.”

    What is a Shop-y-cat?

    Self-confessed ‘Shop-y-cats’, which make up nearly half of the population, admit to often buying items for themselves simply to fit in and ‘keep up with the Joneses’.

    Mostly men, these, shop-y-cats experienced a short-lived rush at check-out after making a purchase, observed behavioural psychologists.

    More than four in five Shop-y-cats also felt the pressure to fit in whilst browsing increased mental fatigue by 30 percent every 10 minutes.

    This is in sharp contrast with Inspired Shoppers who embrace a more intuitive approach, purchasing unique things they truly want, as an expression of their individuality.

    Be an Inspired Shopper!

    Brain monitors showed that 84 percent of Inspired Shoppers experience a prolonged mental high, nearly twice that of shop-y-cats and comparable to sex or aa Formula 1 driver finishing a race.

    But it seems shoppers are out-of-practice when it comes to experiencing retail euphoria.

    When asked to find a unique item, 89 percent of participants found it mentally laborious.

    However, the study uncovers that getting into the inspiration zone and achieving optimum enjoyment, simply requires shoppers to maintain a mindstate of being present, still and calm.

  • Drag Race’s Willam blasted for being “transphobic” during live broadcast

    Drag Race star, Willam Belli has been blasted over comments made during her show Suck Less.

    The season four drag queen was joined by Season 6 runner-up, Courtney Act, to answer fan questions. One such question was from a girl who had recently started to date a trans man. She was unsure of how to proceed with the relationship because he didn’t have a penis.

    Well, the resulting comments from Willam have sent fans on social media into a frazzle.

    During the show, Willam said,

    “Here’s the thing, he’s not your boyfriend if he’s not a boy and he’s not f**king you… just because someone says they’re a boy, doesn’t make them a boy.

    “If they haven’t had the science, they’re not a boy yet. Just because you cut your titties off and take testosterone, that doesn’t change your chromosomes.”

    Courtney called Willam out, saying that the comments were “transphobic” and told Willam that she had quoted Germaine Greer’s infamous “just because you lop off your d**k and then wear a dress, that doesn’t make you a f***ing woman.” quote.

    Courtney wasn’t having any of it and address the viewer directly saying,

    “You’re dating a trans man, by the sounds of it,”

    “Sometimes men have vaginas, and sometimes men have penises, and that is a fact of the world we live in.

    “[Just because he] does not have a penis, it doesn’t mean that he can’t pleasure you.”

    “I feel bad”

    The discussion continued – as Willam and Courtney continue to unpack the controversial comments made earlier.

    On Reddit, fans were not happy calling Willam transphobic and saying that as a Drag Queen should know better.

    Willam has responded to the allegations of transphobic saying,

    “I feel bad about how I made people feel about it and this is my official apology,”

    “I’m sad that me not knowing these things made my friends feel some kind of way,” he continues. “What I do makes me a known entity or a public figure, so I have to be more responsible for my words.”
