  • LISTEN: UK Man Loses Entire Family After He Comes Out As Gay

    A caller to a radio station talks about how he lost everything when he came out as gay to his Jehovah Witnesses family.

    A caller to LBC spoke about how he lost everything within 24 hours after he came out to his parents. The man called James, spoke about how his entire family “disowned” him because of their religious beliefs. He and his family are Jehovah Witnesses.

    James’s heart wrenching call also revealed that he hasn’t spoken to his mother in 4 years after he came out to her. Whilst he was recovering in a psychiatric hospital she phoned him one night to ask if he was gay.
    After he said that he was gay, his mother said,

    “Well I’ll always love you, but, if you ever have a boyfriend, you know we can never see you again and you will be disowned.”

    He said that although he still lives in the same town as his family, if they see him about, they stop whatever they are doing and walk away.

  • TRAILER: Swan Lake II: Dark Waters

    The annual contemporary performance season, Sacred, starts at the Chelsea Theatre November 5th – 28th. One piece to keep an eye on is the very talented PanicLab’s Swan Lake II.

    A new solo performance from jordan Lennie, who helped to choreograph the piece along with Joseph Mercier, is a visual treat. Jordan may be naked on stage for a lot of this performance piece, which will always draw the crowds, however the overall beauty of the piece is in the artistic playfulness of the character.

    We spoke with Joseph this week who told us,
    ‘Swan Lake II: Dark Waters takes a queer approach to ballet. It plays with aspects of the art form that are often denied or downplayed. Aspects like eroticism, campness, seduction, vanity and excess. In Swan Lake II these are highlighted and magnified in playful ways, drawing out some of ballet’s inherent queerness’.
    Watch the full trailer here:
    COMPETITION: We have a pair of tickets to give away to see Swan Lake II: Dark Waters. Free Entry Here.
