  • Magazine is CLOSED DOWN after publishing shocking homophobic articles

    Magazine is CLOSED DOWN after publishing shocking homophobic articles

    A longstanding magazine was closed after publishing a series of outrageous homophobic articles.

    Publishers of the 33-year-old magazine, Shincho 45 made a decision to close the magazine after a series of homophobic articles, Queerty is reporting.

    It all started in August when Mio Sugita, a junior lawmaker in the ruling party, the Liberal Democrat Party made a series of claims stating that same-sex couples were “unproductive” and shouldn’t be able to claim benefits.

    In this instance, it’s thought that by “unproductive” she meant couples unable to conceive a child.

    It caused a huge upset. Even the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who is childless, warned that Sugita should be “more mindful of her words.”

    The publisher’s own president Takanobu Sato said that the article showed “outrageous prejudice” towards gay couples.

    In its next issue, Shincho 45 cemented its future by publishing a further SEVEN articles defending Sugita’s original article. 

    In one of these articles,  gay and bisexual men were referred to as SMAG – sadist, masochist, ass fetish, and groper.

    Following the publication, the publisher released a statement saying, “It is undeniable that our editing of articles and scrutiny of feature series in the pipeline has grown perfunctory over the years as we struggle with the magazine’s dwindling circulation and numerous trials and errors

    “We both thank and apologize to our readers and all parties concerned for their support and cooperation over the years”.

    The magazine was closed shortly after.

     

    So long, farewell.

    Daniel Doheny is the star of Netflix’s brand new gay film, Alex Strangelove, and people want to know if he’s actually gay in real life.

    Is Daniel Doheny, star of Alex Strangelove actually gay?

    Daniel Doheny, star of the brand new Netflix film, Alex Strangelove is a relative newbie in showbiz. Before Alex Strangelove, he had only appeared in a handful of short films and an episode of CW’s Supernatural. Since the the Netflix’s film release the star has performed on stage in The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime in Vancouver.

    Is Daniel Doheny gay?

    Often when an actor plays a gay part, there’s a certain amount of questioning around that actor’s sexuality. However, Daniel has never spoken openly about his sexuality. Actually very little is known about the actor’s private life. He did, however, speak about his time in high school and dating, revealing, “I had enough on my plate in high school just trying to figure out how to date the people I wanted to date and not being able to. It’s such a mess. It’s a muddy, confusing, emotional time, I wanted to have sex as much as possible but I couldn’t get anybody to do it with me”.

    The article does allude to Daniel identifying as a “straight kid”.

    Bake Off’s Dan says casual homophobia towards him is “disheartening”

    Out baker, Dan Beasley-Haring says the most disheartening thing about his bake-off experience is the casual homophobia that’s been levelled against him.

    Dan Beasley-Haring, who is currently starring in Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off has been attracting criticism – not because of his baking, no because of his sexuality and the fact he’s a gay dad.

    Pointing out some of the homophobia that’s been targetted against the 36-year-old  star, Dan wrote, “The insidious, casual homophobia that has been directed towards me has been the most disheartening part of this experience. I’m blessed that I don’t encounter these attitudes very often in my daily life, but it’s clear that as a community we have so much more work to do”.

     

    He screenshotted a homophobic tweet, in which a troll had written, “At least ‘yummy mummy’ doesn’t suggest they’re practising sexual activities in front of the kids, like Gay-at-Home-Dad’ does.”

  • Naked Rugby players return with their stunning 2019 calendar

    The Naked Rugby Players have returned with their 2019 calendar and it looks EPIC.

    Championing body positivity, inclusive rugby and cancer awareness the Naked Rugby Calendar has returned for a brand new calendar. According to sources, 71 cisgender and trans men took part in the project, which photographed inclusive rugby teams in the nude from all over the country.

    The calendar boasts 24 brand new pictures and a handy reminder each month for people to check their tackles for lumps and bumps.

    This year the creative team behind the calendar decided to go a little “renaissance” with the pictures. Speaking about the process photographer Monty McKinnen said, “If there is a connection between art and rugby then we were determined to drag it to the fore, kicking and screaming, if necessary

    “With a few cleverly angled soft lights, hard shadows and some furlong and battle weary figures strewn about the place, maybe, just maybe, we thought we could pull off a bit of the Renaissance with this calendar in the few hours we had with each club.

    “As with the first calendar our brief has always been the same, take the individuals as we find them. We didn’t want models, we wanted characters and, showing these characters in this artistic light, shows the beauty in us all.

    “That which is in the eye of the beholder, sounds corny yes, but it’s a fact!”

    BELOW ARE THE PICTURES NSFW

    Each year, around 200,000 men are diagnosed with cancer and 80,000 will die from the disease.

    As with the first calendar, a proportion of the money raised through the sales will go to Balls to Cancer to help with research.

    It is available to buy now on TheNakedRugbyPlayers.com and TheGayShop.co.uk and Amazon

    “Your organisation is imploding”

    Katie Hopkins thinks the Girlguiding organisation is “imploding” after it ruled, in keeping with the Equality Act 2010, that trans girls are allowed to join its ranks. The organisation recently made a statement clarifying that children who identify as female could join.

    In a statement, Girlguiding wrote, “Girlguiding is for all girls, and that includes trans girls. We are working in line with the Equality Act 2010 and review our policy and practice regularly in line with the new guidance and best practice as it emerges.”

    Hopkins Hits Out

    Writing directly to the CEO of Girlguiding Hopkins wrote, “Please can I politely request a chat. I identify as a trans-pescatarian on Fridays and prefer to be referred to by my non-binary nickname Uber-Twat. Breaking news – Your organisation is imploding.”

    Dear @ruthbmarvel @Girlguiding

    Please can I politely request a chat.

    I identify as a trans-pescatarian on Fridays and prefer to be referred to by my non-binary nickname Uber-Twat.

    Breaking news – Your organisation is imploding.

    The right-wing commentator who then urged her considerable Twitter following to “get your daughters” out after The Times ran a story which suggested that trans girls would be sharing showers with biological females.

    Hopkins warned, “Get your daughters out of there. And fast. Say no to mandatory madness”.

    When the West Yorkshire Police dept said it was “great to see” Girlguiding “standing up for trans rights” Hopkins couldn’t hold back her fury tweeting, “What about the rights of our daughters to shower and sleep safety with other little girls? Why are the police so willing to throw our children under the bus to climb aboard with trans-rights?”

    Keiynan Lonsdale’s trouser snake breaks the Internet

    Out star, Keiynan Lonsdale has uploaded a rather bulgey Instagram post – not that we’re complaining of course.

    Keiynan Lonsdale knows how to give the public what they want. The actor who was in this year’s hit LGBT film, Love Simon, has already posed starkers on Instagram, but this time Keiynan went one step further, filming a sort of underwearless front twerking.

    Basically, there was windmilling, with shorts on.

    Happy Sunday

    A post shared by ??❤️?? Keiynan Lonsdale ????? (@keiynanlonsdale) on

    The star’s video appeared to be pre-recorded on a laptop.

    The actor recently rejected male pronouns saying that tree* wanted to be referred to as “tree” rather than he, him or his saying, “OK, this might sound stupid, but I don’t care. I don’t think this is offensive… but, I don’t want to go by “he” anymore, I just want to go by ‘tree.’ I want people to call me ‘tree’ because we all come from trees, so it doesn’t matter if you’re a he or a she or they or them. At the end of the day, everyone’s a tree.”

    Keiynan was dancing without a top, wearing what looks like ski goggles. The clip was devoured by fans and was viewed nearly half a million times and received over 5000 comments.
