  • This porn star just revealed something and the fans have nothing but love

    Kayden Gray has just come out as HIV positive

    “Why would a porn actor and an escort shoot his career in the face?” is what Kayden Gray said in an 11 minute YouTube video. A video which fans have hailed as brave, amazing and helping to shed light on HIV stigma.

    The actor, who has performed for studios such as Naked Sword said that he had been keeping his status “secret for years” after contracting HIV when he was just 9 months into his porn career. He says he’s now been living with HIV for 3 and a half years.

    He revealed that after he learnt of his status that he took three months off sex – because he felt “disgusting” and “unlovable”. He told fans that he thought his life was going to end.

    Soon after he was diagnosed he told viewers that he found out about anti-viral treatment, which helped lower his viral load, which was around 2 million to just a few 1000, then a few hundred HIV virus particles in per millilitre of blood. He now has an undetectable viral load.

    Fans were quick to send their love and best wishes to the actor.

    Listen to Kayden’s story below.

     

     

     

     

  • Ariana Grande fans plead for London dates to be cancelled

    Fans who are due to attend a concert at London’s o2 have pleaded with the venue to cancel the show.

    Fans have called upon o2 to cancel a forthcoming Ariana Grande show following the horrific bombing of Manchester Arena, where she was performing on Monday evening. A suicide bomber entered the Manchester Arena at the end of her concert and detonated his explosives in one of the foyers of the venue. The explosion killed 22 and injured a further 59 people.

    The 02 have issued a statement saying that they are “in contact with the tour promoters” regarding a final decision on whether Ariana’s tour, Dangerous Woman, will continue with its two London dates at the 02.

    She is due to perform at the world-famous London venue on the 25th and 26th of May.

    In response to their statement, fans have urged the venue to cancel the show, saying that “no way will Ari be able to perform” whilst another added, “She needs f**king time, people are so selfish honestly. It’s important for her to rest and try to calm down after all this happened.”

    Some fans were concerned that Ariana would feel obliged to perform for her fans but were quick to point out that they would rather the 23-year-old singer take “time off to heal” and they “wouldn’t expect anyone to perform after that shock”.

  • Taiwan court rules in favour of gay marriage

    Taiwan court rules in favour of gay marriage

    Taiwan is the latest state to rule in favour of same-sex marriage.

    A Taiwan court has issued a landmark ruling that gay marriage will become available to gay couples, making the island the first Asian place to allow same-sex marriages.

    The court ruled that the country’s civil code “violated” the Taiwanese constitution which guarantees freedom of marriage and equality.

    The notion of legalising same-sex marriage in Taiwan was first proposed in 2003, however, the bill received mass opposition and was not voted on.

    Authorities have arrested 144 men in Jakarta, Indonesia‘s capital city on Monday, THEGAYUK has learnt.

    The men were allegedly attending a party at a sauna when the police raided the venue and captured 144 men, under broad pornography laws. The broadly written laws have been used to unfairly target the gay community in the past.

    Despite homosexuality not being illegal in the majority of the country, the men were lined up at in front of a sign with the slogan “press conference” emblazoned on it. Police also paraded various costumes also found at the party, in front of the press.

    Same-sex activity is, however, illegal in the Muslim-majority province of Aceh, where Sharia law is used to govern its people.

    The police have been criticised for releasing pictures of the raid, some of which exposed the identities of the men to their families, friends and employers. Homosexuality is frowned upon in Indonesia and there could be social repercussions being associated with this arrest.

    The reports are on the back of the horrific news that two men, in Aceh province, whose private room was broken into by vigilantes, were lashed 83 times for same-sex activity. They were sentenced to 85 lashes but the punishment was reduced as the pair had already spent time in prison.

  • Two men lashed 83 TIMES in Indonesia for being found together in bed

    Two men have been lashed 83 times each in the Indonesian province of Aceh after they were caught naked in bed together.

    Two men were lashed in public, upon a stage, in front a mosque in the Indonesian province of Aceh. They were discovered, naked in bed together by a group of vigilantes who broke into their private room.

    The pair, aged 20 and 23 were found together in March and arrested. They have not been identified and were lashed whilst wearing a hood during their punishment.

    A large crowd gathered to watch the brutal punished and reportedly cheered at each lash. According to the BBC, one of the men cried out “”Let this be a lesson to you,” whilst another shouted,  “Do it harder”.

    The men were supposed to receive 85 lashes, but it was reduced to 83 after they spent two months in prison.

    Being gay is not illegal in Indonesia except in the province of Aceh and the city of Palembang in South Sumatra, where elements of Sharia law has been introduced since 1999. These rule could also be applied to non-Muslims in the region.

    In 1999 the Province’s Governor moved to issue limited Sharia-based regulations. Sharia law expressly forbids homosexuality. In 2014 a law was introduced which punished anybody engaging and caught having gay sex with 100 lashes, 100 months in jail or a heavy fine.

    The men were arrested at the end of March. They were taken to Wilayatul Hisbah, a Sharia police station. They both now face 100 lashes as punishment. The entire siege was filmed on a mobile phone.

    This is the first time that anyone has been punished in this way for being gay in Aceh.
