When it comes to body image, gay men can be a pretty tough crowd. Attractiveness can be key part of a man’s self-esteem, for both good and bad. The pressure to look good is even more intense in an image-driven culture where near-naked ideals of masculine perfection abound. Men are being objectified as never before. “The Adonis Factor” is a revealing look at this love, or lust, for male beauty.
A modern version of the classic novel, “Oliver Twist,” set in New York City, it deals with the underground scene filled with drag queens, drug abuse and prostitution.
The X Factor star, Lloyd Daniels, has revealed to his legion of fans that he’s thinning on top – and is doing something about it.
Speaking about his hairline, the singer said, he had been losing confidence as a result of his receding hairline and has only managed to keep the issue hidden by clever concealment.
He spoken out about how he’s being trying to keep it hidden and up until now hasn’t spoken publically about his issue.
He revealed that he’s been using clever haircuts to “cover up” his receding hairline.

However, he’s just undertaken a robotic hair transplant from Artas Robotic Hair Transplant at Juvida Clinics in Yorkshire. He said that he hoped that his journey would inspire others who are upset about balding to take steps.

Good luck Lloyd!

Critics were dismayed when in January, the same day as Donald Trump’s inauguration the White House removed its LGBT policy page on the official White House website. The removal of key pages caused widespread concern about how America’s LGBT community would be treated by Donald Trump’s adminstration.
Fifty-two days on and the White House website still has no LGBT policy or information on its server. The administration has failed to put forward any coherent policies concerning the rights of LGBTs in the USA.
When users type in www.whitehouse.gov/lgbt they are greeted with a generic message thanking them for their “interest in this subject”. The page informs users to “stay tuned” as the website is updated.
ALSO READ:
The former site which was maintained during President Obama’s presidency outlined the administration’s position on equal rights, including ‘eliminating barriers to equality, fighting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and engaging LGBT communities across the country.”
The page also provided links to anti-bullying and sexual health resources.
The site is just in transition as Trump’s own team looks to update information and bring forth their own policies. As with each new administration, the official White House website, Twitter and other social media accounts are all archived for history.
So far the current administration has uploaded policies on energy, jobs and growth, making the military strong, standing up for law enforcement and trade deals.

Georgie Aldous stunned his fans last year when he revealed a picture, looking happy with his 3 stone weight loss – something he achieved in just three months.
Now he’s warned his fans against starving yourself to lose weight.

The character which is voiced by Seth MacFarlane is constantly dropping huge clues about his sexuality. In some scene he’s fantasizing about men, but in others he falls in love with girls. The cast and the writers however, have all suspected that Stewie is in fact gay.
Seth MacFarlane said in The Advocate that Stewie was almost certainly gay, but he was still figuring out what he wanted. The writers have revealed that they do approach the character as if they were writing for a gay character.
“He originally began as a diabolical villain, but then we delved into the idea of his confused sexuality. We all feel that Stewie is almost certainly gay, and he’s in the process of figuring it out for himself. We haven’t ever really locked into it because we get a lot of good jokes from both sides, but we treat him oftentimes as if we were writing a gay character.”
So there you have it… But let’s not get too hung up on the gay story line: one he’s a baby, two it’s a cartoon.
