  • Gay couple beaten beyond recognition on holiday on Greek Island

    Gay couple beaten beyond recognition on holiday on Greek Island

    A gay couple from London were beaten unconscious in a vicious homophobic attack.

    Updated: 10th August

    A married gay couple, Tristan and Vestal, from Lewisham in London found themselves beaten beyond recognition and unconscious in a homophobic attack on the Greek Island of Mykonos.

    The attack took place on the 19th July as the couple returned from a popular gay bar on the island, which is known for its usually friendly gay scene.

    The couple were beaten so badly that Tristan will need reconstructive treatment on his teeth.

    Speaking to The Evening Standard Tristan said,

    “I can remember walking up a hill and turning round because Vestal wasn’t with me.

    “I could see he was talking to someone we didn’t know and was being pinned up against some railings.

    “I said to him ‘Vestal, we need to go’ and he said he would deal with it. It was the last thing I could remember.

    “When I woke up my head was feeling battered and my two front teeth were missing. I cradled Vestal who was also unconscious. He only came to when he was in the hospital.”

     

    The Greek police are now investigating the attack, although the assault happened in an area without CCTV.

    A gofundme page has been created to help the couple pay for dental treatment for Tristan, who will need extensive treatment to restore his teeth, a number of which were broken and knocked out during the attack.

    The fund has already attracted over £6000 in donations.

    Is this appropriate restaurant wear?

    So – you fancy a quick whopper – and there’s a Burger King, but you’ve only got a jock strap on.

    You can see the dilemma can’t you. You want to eat but you’re not dressed entirely (or at all) appropriately… and you’re in Ibiza.

    Well for this chap it didn’t matter – and good for him.

    Although we do wonder where he’ll keep the change.

    “Please tell me why it’s an issue for men to wear makeup in 2016” asks Georgie Aldous in his new vlog.

    Vegan YouTuber Georgie has made a video about why no one should be batting an eyelid if men wear makeup – especially in 2016.

    Recalling a conversation where his mum questioned if he wanted to be a transvestite because of selfie he posted to Facebook, in which he wore false nails and makeup, he hit back saying, “Stop living in the dark ages.”

    He argued,

    “Makeup isn’t gendered in my opinion. I can wear makeup if I want to, doesn’t mean I want to be woman, I’m happy being a man. I just love to express myself through makeup.

    “Makeup is art at the end of the day.”

    Christopher Biggins has been heavily criticised on social media after revealing that he thinks that people should “pick a team” when it comes to sexuality.

    During a chat with fellow housemate and Mob Wives star Renee Graziano about sexuality, the panto king said, that bisexuals were the “worst type” and that he believed that they were people not wanting to admit that they were gay.

    Here’s the transcript:

    Christopher: Renee, you’ve got nothing against gays have you?

    Renee: Me? No! Not at all, okay, when you’re gay you’re gay and I think it’s beautiful, because I think it’s who you are and it’s natural. But I think today in society they kinda force things on people and they confuse you…

    Christopher: “I think the worst type, though, I’m afraid to say it, is the bisexuals

    Renee: I… That upsets me… You have to pick a team.

    Christopher: Yes, what it is, is, people not wanting to admit they’re gay,

    Renee: Please pick team, pick anyone you want…

    Christopher: I know, I know, I totally agree. Be honest that’s what you gotta be.

     

    Viewers on Twitter were quick to blast Biggins for his comments.

    The Bisexual Index, the UK bi activist group fighting biphobia & bisexual erasure said,

    “Yes, Christopher Biggins is still spouting biphobia,He hosts ‘s Equality Dinner, ironically…”

    This isn’t the first time Mr Biggins has upset the bisexual community. In 2014, during an interview with The Big Issue, Biggins said that bisexuals “ruin women’s lives”.

    He told the magazine,

    “I think the people who fear homosexuality most are the ones who could be gay. The world is full of bisexuals because that’s the way they want to do it. What do they do? They ruin a woman’s life. It’s so wrong, because you’re not owning up to what you are. You lead a double life so how can you be a real person?”

    “Then in my early twenties I met a girl and married her, because I thought that was the thing to do. Ridiculous. I hadn’t thought it through and of course it didn’t work. Now I’ve happily been with Neil (Neil Sinclair, his civil partner) for 21 years and that’s how it should have been.”

    Lee Arnold admitted to murdering student William Lound in his halls of resident, just moment after having sex – whilst the victim was still naked and at his “most vunerable.”

    Mr. Arnold, 37, was handed a life sentence with a minimum term of 23 years and 4 months. He pleaded guitly for a quick sentence.

    Chilling Message

    The Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard how Arnold had become agitated after having sex – that he slashed and stabbed Mr. Lound, who was 30 at the time. After the grizzly attack, Arnold wrote the chilling message, “your (sic) not reddy (sic) for me. I always win. “I always win” on the student’s bedroom wall.

    The victim, William Lound was openly gay. According to reports, he also wore women’s clothing and makeup – which have led some to believe that the attack may have been anti-trans.

    He had 12 knife wounds to his back, neck and head. The knife was found in the victim’s body.

    23 years and 4 months

    Mr. Arnold will now serve a life sentence, with a minimum term of 23 years and 4 months.

    Judge John Potter said,

    “This was a brutal, pre-meditated sustained attack with a weapon upon a vulnerable and defenceless man.

    “There is, in my judgement, evidence that your victim was murdered as a consequence of his sexual orientation.”

     

    According to The Mirror, Detective Superintendent Simon Retford, from GMP’s serious crime division, said,

    “This was a horrific murder of a young man whose only mistake was to trust and try to help the wrong person.

    “Lee Arnold used William’s kind heart and good nature to gain his trust and then stabbed him to death.

    “I would like to take this opportunity to reassure the LGBT community that I do not believe this was a case of Arnold randomly attacking somebody from within that community.

    “Sadly, it appears that he and William had previously met, which ended up leading to his tragic death.”
