    So the point of dressing up for Halloween is to scare people and to look hideous, but MC has decided to take a different route.

    Heading out with her fam, Mariah donned a very very tight red corset dress and popped on a couple of wings and devil horns for good measure.

    The rest of her family were dressed as characters from Mario land. We don’t remember a woman in red in that franchise of game, but hey. It’s Mariah so just deal okay.

    Hot.

    Praise be oh great gay icon.

    This story is being updated, please refresh to see new content.

    A bakery in Northern Ireland has lost its appeal against a court ruling that its decision to refuse to bake a “gay cake” as discriminatory.

    The judge said according to the BBC that “it did not follow that icing a message meant you supported that message.”

    In 2014, gay rights activist Gareth Lee tried to order a cake which the bakers refused to make because it had the inscription “Support Gay Marriage”.

    The Christian-run Ashers Baking Co. in Northern Ireland refused to make a pro-gay marriage cake, which featured a slogan “Support Gay Marriage – Queer Space Born 1998” with a picture of Sesame Street characters Ernie and Bert, because it says it clashed with the ethos of their company, saying,

    “We thought that this order was at odds with our beliefs, certainly was in contradiction with what the Bible teaches.”

    In May 2015, a UK Court has found that the bakery had acted unlawfully when it refused to fulfil the order.

  • Freddy Parker’s trouser BULGE just broke the Internet

    Former X Factor hottie Freddy Parker has managed to get tongues wagging and temperatures rising after a video clip showed a rather large bulging trouser snake.

    He may have been eliminated from the competition, a couple of weeks ago, but Freddy Parker is still capable of getting people talking as a recent clip uploaded to Instagram has proved.

    Freddy was in London over the weekend to play a gig at G-A-Y, and like the majority of us when we check into a brand new hotel room, tested out the bed by jumping straight on it. However, it seemed the hunky singer was JBNK (jogging bottoms no knickers).

    However, it seemed the hunky singer was JBNK (jogging bottoms no knickers).

    It kinda reminds us of when, One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson broke the internet with his manhood flip-flopping around during a game of footie.

    [mailmunch-form id=”358872″]

    The little video clip has already attracted 30,700 views and over 290 comments, with many fans pointing out the size of the bulge in his jogging bottoms.

    The X Factor singer was appearing at G-A-Y at Heaven, for a PA. Speaking about performing at London’s most famous gay club Freddy said,

    “Can’t get over last night! So unreal I got to perform at Heaven?? Thank you everyone who came to support!”

     

  • ANSWERS | Why does Grindr use a mask for its logo?

    ANSWERS | Why does Grindr use a mask for its logo?

    Gay hook-up app Grindr is famous for its application as its distinctive look. So, how did the name and look come about?

    why does Grindr use a gimp mask
    We asked the app’s creator Joel Simkhai about the look and name. He told us in 2012 that the look came about because he wanted it to be “powerful” and a “little rough”.

    When asked about the colouring and the use of the ‘gimp’ mask, Joel said,

    “We looked for something that was masculine and tough and I think all our branding: our logo, our colouring almost everything about it falls into those categories.”

     

    Aggressive

    When deciding on the whole look and branding for Grindr the creator decided that the look and feel of the app should be “a but aggressive” and “powerful”.

    The name came about because Joel liked the idea of grinding coffee and the notion of mixing.

    Speaking to THEGAYUK in 2012, Joel said,

    “We were looking for something a bit aggressive and thought of this notion of the coffee grinder and the notion of mixing, but it’s not just the idea of mixing it’s about grinding, very powerful and so it’s a little rough, we wanted an edginess to it, we didn’t want a softness to it.”
