  • Stephen Port found guilty of murdering four men he found on gay dating apps

    Stephen Port found guilty of murdering four men he found on gay dating apps

    Stephen Port has been found guilty of a fourth murder, that of Anthony Patrick Walgate, a 23-year-old who was his first murder victim.

    Stephen Port

    The BBC are reporting that Stephen Port,41, was found guilty at the Old Bailey in London, for the murders of four men he met via gay dating apps. He was also convicted of three rapes.

    He has been found guilty of the murders of Anthony Patrick Walgate, 23, Gabriel Kovari, 22, Daniel Whitworth, 21 and Jack Taylor, 25. Their bodies were dumped in or near a graveyard in Barking. The graveyard was 500 meters away from his flat in east London.

    Port has denied 29 charges in total.

    Initially, he was charged with four counts of murder in relation to the deaths of four men between June 2014 and September 2015.

    The charges relate to the deaths of:
    – Anthony Patrick Walgate, 23, from Barnet, who was pronounced dead on Cooke Street, Barking on 19 June 2014.
    – Gabriel Kovari, 22, from Lewisham, whose body was found near the churchyard of St Margaret’s Church, North Street, Barking on 28 August 2014.
    – Daniel Whitworth, 21, from Gravesend, Kent, whose body was found near the churchyard of St Margaret’s Church, North Street, Barking on 20 September 2014.
    – Jack Taylor, 25, from Dagenham, whose body was found near the Abbey Ruins close to North Street, Barking on Monday, 14 September.

    The Met Police is currently under investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission following concerns on how it handled the initial investigation into Mr Whitworth’s death.

    Human rights advocate Peter Tatchell monitored the police handling of the serial killings of young gay men in east London from October 2014 and liaised with a friend of one of the victims, Gabriel Kovari.

    Commenting on jury’s guilty verdict and the way police responded to the multiple murders by Stephen Port, he said,

    “While timely and commendable, this verdict is no compensation for the loss of four young gay men who had their lives, hopes and dreams cut short.

    “Appallingly, even after the third murder the police were still maintaining that the deaths were ‘unusual’ but ‘not suspicious.’ They did not issue a public alert to the gay community that a serial killer could be on the loose. This failing ignored Met Police best practice advice which was agreed two decades ago, after previous murders of gay men.

    “The police appeal for public information came in October 2015 – a year too late. Four young men were already dead. This appeal should have been made in August 2014 after the first two killings. If the police had done this, further deaths may have been prevented. Two of these men might still be alive.

  • Joel Dommett opens up about sex-tape leak, “I was catfished”

    Joel Dommett, potential king of the Jungle, has opened up about how he was “catfished” into having cyber-sex and how his naked pictures were leaked to the internet.

    Stand up comedian, Joel Dommett has revealed that he was “catfished” after a naked solo sex-tape on Skype, ended up on the internet. Images of the I’m A Celebrity star ended up on the internet after his pictures were leaked.

    Speaking to fellow campmates, Joel, 30, told them that his pictures were “easy to find” on the internet and that he was actually having online sex with a fake user. He told his fellow stars that he was “naive” when he got naked and masturbated online. He revealed to the group that the pictures were leaked a week before he landed in the jungle.

    His nudes were leaked as one of a slew of male celebrities including, Shayne Ward, Sam Callahan, Ben Cohen and Jake Quickenden.

    He quipped,

    “I thought I was having Skype sex with someone but it was actually a video and it turned out it was someone watching me, watching porn – a porno Gogglebox.”

    He added,

    It was a “terrible angle”.

    We recent revealed that anybody sharing pictures, from social media, including Snapchat, “of a private or sexual nature” without the permission of the person in the pictures or footage, could land you with a jail term.

    When also spoke to Phil Gorski at Blacks Solicitors about what steps you can take to protect your data and your private pictures if you become a victim of hacked data or revenge porn.

    Most famously Joel got completely snarkers last year, (except a shocking pink cowboy hat and waistcoat) to try out penis painting for a Channel 4 documentary series.

  • “Non-conventional” sex acts censored by UK Government

    Sex scenes described as “non-conventional” could be banned in the UK under a little-discussed clause in the Digital Economy Bill.

    The UK government could censor porn or filmed sex scenes it deems “non-conventional” under a proposal which is part of the digital economy bill. The proposal would enforce a strict age verification and force Internet Service Providers to block access to footage which couldn’t be classified by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) for sale to the public under the R18 certificate.

    The BBFC’s classification system has been described as controversial and lacking in scope for modern viewing habits.

    A spokeswoman for MindGeek, one of the world’s biggest pornographic website operators, said,

    “Many of the sexual activities prohibited from R18 [the BBFC’s most explicit certification] are normalised and accepted aspects of healthy sexuality, and are proudly celebrated by the feminist, queer and ethical porn movements internationally,” she said.

     

    “Non-conventional” scenes could include fisting as it falls under the “four finger rule” as well as female ejaculation.

    In 2014, Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett was seemingly outed by Julianne Hough when she told presenter Mario Lopez that Jonathan was gay, although the actor himself has never confirmed or denied the rumour. In 2014 he was also voted the number one hottest LGBT celebrity, despite not publicly confirming his sexuality. In 2009 PerezHilton.com noted that Jonathan was, “this close to coming out publicly as gay”, however in 2016 it still hasn’t happened.

    The Ohio-born hunk’s Wikipedia page has references to his sexuality removed and reinstated numerous times. The actor himself has never spoken about Julianne’s comments nor confirmed or denied whether he is gay or bisexual.

    It has been reported that Jonathan dated Kyle XY actor, Matt Dallas who came out as gay in 2013.

  • Teenager found guilty of the murder of a gay man he found on Grindr

    Teenager found guilty of the murder of a gay man he found on Grindr

    A teenager has been found guilty of the vicious murder of a man he met on the gay dating app, Grindr.

    Ben Bamford, 18, has been found guilty of the murder of a 52-year-old man he met via the gay dating app, Grindr. Mr Bamford who was 17-years-old at the time of the murder unleashed a vicious attack on Paul Jefferies, reportedly a tax advisor to George Osbourne, who lived in East Sussex.

    The attack happened on the 23 February 2016.

    A sustained and bloody attack left Mr Jefferies with over 40 stab wounds. The court heard that Bamford also slashed the tax advisor’s throat, leaving him to die in a pool of his own blood. His body was discovered two days later when concerned work colleagues noted that he had not been into work.

    Mr Bamford left the body with a tea towel covering his head.

    Mr Bamford denied murder and claimed that he was acting out in self-defense after alleging that his victim had tried to rape him. The court heard Bamford describing that Mr Jefferies had “got on top” of him and continued to have sex after Bamford had told him to stop.

    Mr Bamford had sought out Mr Jefferies after accruing £400 in debt. A statement from Sussex Police remarked that they believed that he “went to see Mr Jefferies with the intention of exploiting him for money to pay off his drugs debt.”

    Detective Chief Inspector Tanya Jones, who led the investigation for Surrey and Sussex Major Crime Team, said,

    “This was a horrific attack by a teenage boy who preyed on his victim with the aim of exploiting him for money.

    “The level of violence he inflicted on Paul Jefferies was extreme and then he fled the scene in his victim’s car. He showed no remorse smirking for a selfie photo just hours later.

    “However the jury did not believe his story. Although this can never undo what he has done, I hope it will bring some justice for Paul’s family, friends and colleagues.”

    Mr Bamford will be sentenced on Wednesday.

  • Milo Yiannopoulos school lecture cancelled after Department for Education gets in touch with school

    Right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos was supposed to host a lecture at his former school, The Langton Grammar School for Boys, however, it has been cancelled due to “safety concerns” after the school was contacted by the Department for Education’s (DfE) “counter-extremism unit”.

    Milo Yiannopoulos, the self-proclaimed, super villain of the internet has had a scheduled talk cancelled after the school was contacted by the Department for Education’s (DfE) “counter-extremism unit” after concerns about safety were called into question.

    Around 220 students had signed up to hear Milo speak. A spokesperson for the school noted that, “the staff and students of the school were overwhelmingly in favour”, of Milo’s visit.

    Concerns for the security of the school site and the school’s community were raised after activists planned to demonstrate during the event.

    The school’s spokesperson said,

    “This decision was taken following contact from the DfE counter-extremism unit, the threat of demonstrations at the school by organised groups and members of the public and our overall concerns for the security of the school site and the safety of our community.

    “We note that, within 24 hours of advertising the event, 220 Langton sixth formers had, with parental consent, signed up for the event and that objection to our hosting Yiannopoulos came almost entirely from people with no direct connection to The Langton. The staff and students of the school were overwhelmingly in favour.

    “Whilst disappointed that both the pastoral care and intellectual preparation we offer to our students has been called into question, we at The Langton remain committed to the principle of free speech and open debate and will resist, where possible, all forms of censorship.”

    Writing on his Facebook page on Monday, Milo said,

    “My old high school has been bullied into canceling my talk on Tuesday by the “counter-extremism” unit at the U.K. Department of Education.

    Who even knew the DoE had a counter-extremism unit? And that it wasn’t set up to combat terrorism but rather to punish gays with the wrong opinions? Perhaps if I’d called the speech “MUSLIMS ARE AWESOME!” they’d have left us alone. Disgusted.

  • So is Cristiano Ronaldo gay?

    We’re not quite sure, but it seems that Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly responded to an anti-gay slur by responding in a pretty impressive way.

    Is Cristiano Ronaldo gay?

    Some people have long suspected that legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is gay and when Rihanna seemingly outed him back in 2013 it seemed as though we had our answer, but the sports star has remained tight-lipped about his sexuality ever since. That was until Ronaldo allegedly replied to a gay slur, that he was “a faggot” and a rich one at that.

    That was until a conversation between Cristiano and a fellow teammate was overheard in the locker room in which Cristiano was explaining an incident between himself and another footballer.

    The Sun reports that after an altercation between Cristiano and Koke in which Koke allegedly called him a “faggot”. The footie star reportedly answered: “A faggot, yes. But a rich one, bastard.”

    Radio station Cadena Cope claims that it heard a conversation between Cristiano and a teammate in the visitor’s changing room after the game.

    They claim the following conversation happened:

    Ronaldo: “Koke called me a faggot.”
    Team-mate: “What?”
    Ronaldo: “You‘re a faggot, he said to me.”
    Team-mate: “He said that to you?”
    Ronaldo: “I told him, ‘if we meet each other in Madrid, you will see what I will do’.”
    Team-mate: “What are you going to do to him?”
    Ronaldo: “Nothing. What can I do?”
    Another team-mate who came in later: “Who said that?”
    Ronaldo: “Koke, he called me a faggot. I told him, ‘a faggot, yes. But a rich one, b****** ’.

    Cristiano has previously been linked romantically to a number of high-profile women including model Alice Goodwin and Gemma Atkinson. He also dated Russian model Irina Shayk however, their relationship ended in 2015. The footballer is also father to one son, also named Cristiano. He has never revealed the identity to the mother of the child.

    THEGAYUK.com reached out to Cristiano’s management for comment.

  • Nearly seventy percent of GayUK readers fear travelling to US following Donald Trump victory

    Nearly seventy percent of GayUK readers fear travelling to US following Donald Trump victory

    Shocking statistics from a flash poll undertaken by THEGAYUK has shown that they have concerns about travelling to the US after the results of the presidential election.

    A Trump presidency could cause troubles for the LGBT tourism industry in the US after a flash poll undertaken by THEGAYUK on Twitter showed that 69 per cent of potential LGBT holiday-makers have concerns travelling to the US after the election of Donald Trump as the country’s President-elect.

    A further 15 percent who responded said that they were unsure whether the election’s result would make them less safe, while 16 percent said that it made no difference to their opinion on travelling to the States.

    Donald Trump was made President-elect after a historic vote on the 9th November 2016.

    When we asked our Facebook followers, “Do you think travel to America as someone LGBT will change under President Trump and VP Pence?” we received a mixed response.

    Scott said,

    “For at least the next 3 months or so racial and other tensions are far too high. Unless you’re heading to California or possibly New York I’d stay away for a while.”

    While Johnathan said,

    “That’s a tough one… I can’t see Trump making laws that says all LGBT people must be round up and imprisoned, so the odds of his government affecting my holiday is quite slim.

    On the other hand though, if you’re visiting small towns in America then I would question how safe I felt against the gun wielding public. However, I don’t think an election can turn someone homophobic. You’re either already pro gay so would be happy to see me pre or post Trump, or you’ve just always been a c**t.”

    While Anthony pointed out,

    No. Why would it? I very much doubt he is going to roll back LBGT rights. He’s not that stupid.
