Throw Kim Davis, Gay Rights Denying Kentucky Clerk Into Jail
Calls have been made to throw law breaking Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis, who has refused to give a gay couple a marriage license, in jail.
Writing in an article for New Republic, Brian Beutler called for the jailing of Kim Davis, the woman who has twice denied a gay couple a marriage license, despite a High Court ruling that she must.
He warned against any other punishment such as fines as any “attempt to force her hand risks making her a bigger martyr than she already is on the religious right”, and would see her likely “reap a windfall” from a crowdsourcing site campaign, much like the Sweet Cake bakers and Memories Pizza owners. Memories Pizza eventually collected over $800,000 in donations.
Due to her religious beliefs Kim Davis, 49, who is on her fourth marriage, is refusing to hand out a marriage license to a gay couple, even though there is a federal court order for her to do so.
She appealed the order to the Supreme Court of the United States requesting that her religious freedoms should exclude her from doing that part of her job. However, the court refused her request.

London Sex Health Clinic Accidentally Publishes Email Addresses Of Patients
Around 780 HIV patients from the sexual health clinic, 56 Dean Street, have had their personal details disclosed in an email sent in an “administrative error”
The personal email addresses of around 780 patients at London’s busiest sexual health clinic have been leaked via an email. A newsletter was sent to HIV patients of the clinic which disclosed names and emails addresses to everyone on the list.
The clinic immediately apologised for the mistake and have started an investigation into how the breach happened. A helpline has been set up by the clinic for patients who are worried about the exposure.
Dr Alan McOwan, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS trust’s director for sexual health said in his apology,
“I’m writing to apologise to you. This morning at around 11.30am we sent you the latest edition of OptionE newsletter.
This is normally sent to individuals on an individual basis but unfortunately we sent out today’s email to a group of email addresses. We apologise for this error.
“We recalled/deleted the email as soon as we realised what had happened. If it is still in your inbox please delete it immediately.
Clearly this is completely unacceptable. We are urgently investigating how this has happened and I promise you that we will take steps to ensure it never happens again. We will send you the outcome of the investigation.”
Concerns have been raised about how the leaked email addresses could be used, including typing the addresses into Facebook to find out a full profile, including pictures and other personal details.
A spokesperson speaking to THEGAYUK for the clinic said the breach was an “administrative error”,
“We can confirm that due to an administrative error, a newsletter about services at 56 Dean Street was sent to an email group rather than individual recipients.
We have immediately contacted all the email recipients to inform them of the error and apologise. Any concerned patients can call 020 3315 9555 and 020 3315 9594.”

WATCH Eddie Redmayne Transform For His New Film Danish Girl
Hollywood star Eddie Redmayne looks amazing in the brand new trailer that has been released for his forthcoming film Danish Girl.
Set in the 1920s and based on a true story, the movie is a love story about how Einar’s artist wife Gerda Waud persuaded Einar to pose for her in women’s clothes after one of her models failed to show. Later known as Lili Elbe, he then underwent a series of experimental operations in Germany to confirm her sex as female and live as her true authentic self in the 1930s.
Redmayne has revealed that he had spoken to members of the trans community to research the role and added,
“I think it’s the most sensitive role I have ever played. The danger of surgery was so extreme then, and it was such a brave thing that Einar did.”
‘The Danish Girl’ is set for a cinema release at the end of this year, and in time for maybe a second Oscar Nomination for one of our favorite actors.

First English Pro Rugby Player Has Come Out As Gay
Pro rugby player Sam Stanley has come out as gay.
Sam Stanley, 23, has become the first English pro rugby union player to come out as gay. His announcement follows Keegan Hirst’s coming out, which happened just a few weeks ago.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Stanley said,
“I was 10 or 11 when I realised I was different to my friends.
“I didn’t want to accept it, I felt that being different wasn’t right. I had a girlfriend and I was thinking that, like some people say, maybe it is a phase.”
Stanley went on to say: “Millions of people are in the situation, even people who have been in [his partner] Laurence’s situation and they are still married but are gay. They cannot accept it themselves.
“It is going to be an issue until more people and athletes come out, until it is not an issue at all. It might take years but hopefully lots of people will find the courage.”

“Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in Celebrity Big Brother.
“When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house.”
According to TMZ,
“Tila believes producers planned from the very beginning to feign shock and fi re her to drum up publicity.
“The show did a thorough background check on the reality star before they signed her. Tila’s pro-Nazi remarks in 2013 were readily searchable.
“If she can’t work it out, we are told she’ll sue.”
