    A recent poll in Ireland found that 76% of adults believe that that same–sex couples should have a right to marry, now they just have to get them to the Polling Stations on May 22 to vote YES on the national referendum o marriage equality.

    The Irish LGBT advocacy group BeLonG To Youth Services has produced a touching ad to make sure people get out and vote … We defy anyone to watch this and not start to get watery eyes.

    If the referendum passes, (or hopefully ‘when’) the following line will be added to the country’s constitution: “Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.”

  • 18-Year-Old Porn Star Commits Suicide After Being Fired

    An eighteen-year-old porn star has died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after suspected shooting at a restaurant where co-workers were.

    The Corbin Fisher star, Christopher Luke McAteer, 18, died in hospital over the weekend from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, after being found in his car in Butler County, KY, Owenboro police have confirmed.

    According to reports, employees claim Ateer (Clay) had been fired for making threats. Minutes later he drove by the restaurant where co-workers were dining, firing five shots into the building before turning the gun on himself. Nobody was hurt in the drive by shooting.

    The actor’s scenes have now been removed from the Corbin Fisher service.

    A statement from his family given to NBC affiliate WECT read, “He was reared in a Christian home where he was taught about the love and sovereignty of God, and, most importantly, the grace and forgiveness found through His son, Jesus Christ

    “Thankfully, Luke knew the Lord, and had recently rededicated his life. He had been pursuing a daily relationship with Christ in the recent weeks before his unfortunate loss with the battle of depression.”

  • Stars Back Royal Vauxhall Tavern After New Owners Refuse To Talk About Future

    BAFTA winning writer Stephen Beresford is among those backing performers and punters of the iconic Royal Vauxhall Tavern in a new campaign to safeguard its future, following its recent sale to property developers.

    The launch of the campaign comes in the wake of the shocking closure without notice of the Black Cap in Camden, another venerable London LGBTQ venue.

    Stars of Duckie, the RVT’s biggest weekly crowd puller, and the legendary performer David Hoyle are among those leading the campaign to save the Tavern. Rob Holley, who runs the venue’s popular Push the Button night, is also on board.

    The RVT is believed to be the UK’s longest running LGBTQ venue and recently featured in Beresford’s hit film Pride. A haven before decriminalisation, and a crucial hub during the AIDS crisis, the RVT is today a thriving site of culture, performance and community in South London.

    But since buying up the Tavern in October, new owners Immovate, an Austrian property company – have repeatedly declined to reveal their intentions, or even guarantee the venue’s long-term future as an LGBT+ bar.

    Speaking about the importance of RVT, Beresford said,
    “The RVT is so much more than just a bar. As Pride shows, it has a special role in LGBTQ history and London life; a unique place where different communities can come together.

    “The RVT has always stood out as embodying the true spirit of the LGBTQ movement and it would be a real shame if it lost touch with that heritage. I support the campaign and wish it all the best.”

    The continuing uncertainty has fuelled fears that the Tavern will be closed or transformed out of step with its unique history.

    That has spurred some of the RVT’s most successful acts to join forces with concerned regulars and take things in to their own hands.

    RVT Future is the most high profile of several recent campaigns to date to save well-known London LGBTQ venues that have fallen victim to London’s over-heated property market.

  • There’s Only One Nigel Farage…

    Depending on your political stance, this may come as good news or bad… There is only one Nigel Farage listed on 192.com

    The UK’s leading online people directory has checked and it’s official, there really is only one Nigel Farage. However it appears your chances of running into a David Cameron are quite high with 192.com revealing there are over 300 of them appearing on the Open Electoral Register.

    Natalie Bennett and Leanne Woods also appear on the register quite frequently; and there is a shock for Nicola Sturgeon as her namesakes are more prevalent south of the border with over 85% of them being based in England.

    Whilst there is only one Nigel Farage on the register, 192.com discovered that Ed Miliband is also equally as unique, setting him apart from previous Labour leaders, such as Tony Blair who has 116 namesakes and Gordon Brown who shares his name with whopping 1,320 registered voters.

    Here are the full results:

    • David Cameron 380
    • Nick Clegg 40
    • Nigel Farage 1
    • Ed Miliband 1
    • Nicola Sturgeon 14
    • Natalie Bennett 178
    • Leanne Wood 132

    Recently, the gay community in Wakefield, was shocked when one of its local boozers, The Harewood Arms, opened its doors to UKIP rallies and meetings.

    Product Director Dominic Blackburn at 192.com commented: “After the Election debates these are the names on everyone’s lips, in addition to this being the closest fought election in decades it is also set to be the most diverse and we move further away from two party politics. Depending on your political persuasion you might be either thrilled or horrified to be sharing a street with a David Cameron, however you can always find out by visiting 192.com”

    Both Nigel Farage and Ed Miliband proved to be more unique that some famous literary figures, you are more likely to run in to one of the 439 James Bonds or even the 179 Harry Potters. 192.com is clear to point out that neither Nigel or Ed are secret agents or have magical powers their names are just rarer.

    192.com has also handily heat mapped the location of the political leaders doppelgängers so you can find out if your local area is Nicola Sturgeon rich or even filled with Nick Cleggs.

  • London “Gay Cure” Event Cancelled After 40,000 Say No Way

    An event that aimed to help gay people “Overcome” Their Sexuality by the Seventh Day Adventist Church has been cancelled after 40,000 people signed a petition to stop it.

    The Seventh Day Adventist Church had planned to bring a seminar to London that was aimed at people who have “struggled” with same-sex attraction. The petition against the move was signed by over 40,000 people.

    According to the advert, three people Mike Carducci, Wayne Blakely and Danielle Harrison have found “redemption, victory, healing and freedom from their lifestyle.” and want to talk to members of the public about their “struggles” with homosexuality.

    Kirsten Lundqvist the communications and media director of South England Conference of Seventh-day Adventist said, “A decision was taken on Monday, 13 April to cancel the ‘Holy Sexuality’ Conference originally planned for London, 21-25 April 2015.

    “Seventh-day Adventists are a people of peace who believe in hope and dialogue. However, it appeared that rather than drawing people together the conference had the potential to divide. The Adventist Church recognises that the individuals invited to speak at the Holy Sexuality Conference have compelling life stories to share but equally appreciate that there are those who take a different point of view.”

    “We are disappointed that in a society that values freedom of speech and divergence of opinion that there are those whose wish it is to silence individuals who hold a different point of view to their own.”

    Speaking to GSN one of organisers of the event Anamaria, had said, “These three people have overcome what many people are still struggling with, the people who felt so unloved. For them, they have moved out of this lifestyle and embraced Christianity,’ she said.

    “It’s like committing adultery. This conference will teach homosexuals how to overcome similar habits.”

  • Gay Bar Sent “Anthrax” Letter In The Post

    A gay bar in Iowa was sent a letter that purported to contain the lethal disease Anthrax.

    A bar in Des Monies called The Blazing Saddle was sent a homophobia letter, which contained a powder, which the sender reported was anthrax.

    The powder was revealed to be foot powder, however, the threat was taken very seriously by local law enforcement. A local man, Eric Reece Wiethorn, 49, has since been arrested for posting the letter and has been charged with first-degree harassment.

    The letter reads:

    “It’s time for all the faggots and dykes to die on Capital Pride night!

    “Your secret enemies are going to blow up your destination for going to hell tonight, and were going to eat roast faggot the following morning.

    “This is your punishment for sinning against God, and hopefully you’ll die from the anthrax on this letter!”

    Speaking to the Des Moines Register, co-owner of The Blazing Saddle said,

    “I opened the mail up thinking it was a thank you letter, it turned out to be a hate letter.

    “[It said] faggot this, faggot that… and a white powder popped out, so I thought ‘call the police now’, because you don’t know.

    “We were locked down until hazmat came and examined it, it turned out to be talcum powder.

    “It’s very childish, very hateful, and I though this city had grown up more than that.”

    He added: “We get hate mail like this every once in a while but never powder.”

    There have been a number of attacks using Anthrax in the past, one of the most notorious was the 2001 Anthrax attacks which targeted news media offices and two US Senators.
