When asked what she thought of gay marriage the veteran actress said,
“I’m in favor. If you fall in love with someone, why can’t you have what everybody else has? Why should you be segregated and denied? I have a lot of gay friends. I’m lucky. I go to parties celebrating their being together 25, 50 years. They’re together longer than any straight people that I know. I had two marriages, and I didn’t make it as long as they did.”

So with the London Marathon coming up, we asked Jeremy if he’d get his drag on and complete his marathon in a pair of high-heals.
“That was the temptation this year, to run it in drag. It’s kind of like when you have these ideas and then suddenly it’s just like, ‘It was great when you’re thinking about it, but when you actually get around to doing it, no’.
“The marathon’s stressful enough without having to tack on little bits.
“Last year, I remember us being overtaken by a bottle of beer and a banana. I just though, ‘My God, how do you do it?’

Young dancer Jack Higgins, 14, won the hearts of the nation during last night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent after he admitted that he had been bullied at school and has been called gay because of his ballet talent.

Between them, the top 25 gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans celebrities we could find on Twitter have access to the eyes of up to 132,000,000 people.
They range from a news anchor to YouTube stars, singers to actors. The average age of these stars is 46 years old, YouTuber Troye Sivan being the youngest at 20 and George Takei being the oldest at 78. Some have made their celebrity status through reality TV, like Adam Lambert (American Idol) and some have played the long fame game, like singer Ricky Martin and actor Neil Patrick Harris.
To make it on to this list celebrities needed to have at least one million followers. Trans stars are vastly under represented in the media and therefore may contribute to the fact that only one trans person had enough followers to qualify.

Male students at one of the UK’s top universities are being offered £75 worth of Amazon voucher for their sperm.
Fliers are being handed out around a campus asking for cash strapped male volunteers to make their self-made donations as part of a trial run by the University of Sheffield – and are being rewarded with vouchers for the popular online retailer.
The study needs male volunteers aged between 18-30 who are available for 12 weeks between April and July to consume lycopene, the red pigment found in tomatoes and other red fruits, whilst donating semen samples.
Trial researchers hope to discover whether lycopene has a positive effect on participants’ sperm.

Scientists say a nutrient found in the “tomato pill” could supercharge sperm by up to 70 per cent and offer new hope to childless couples.
In other studies, lycopene has been suggested as a possible treatment for male infertility.
This is because the antioxidant properties of lycopene counteract the damage inflicted on sperm caused by oxidative stress.
Professor Allan Pacey of the University of Sheffield, one of Britain’s leading experts on male factor infertility, is recruiting 60 healthy male students and university staff to take part in the three-month study.
He said,
“There is enough evidence out there to indicate this study is worth doing and I am cautiously optimistic. If it works in the volunteers we would then consider testing it in infertile patients.
“Production of sperm takes three months. This study will tell us if lycopene improves the quality of sperm already in development by reducing DNA damage, and whether it produces an overall increase in the number of mature sperm produced overall.”
