Following advice from the government, numerous gay shops have reopened their doors, following on from the COVID-19 lockdown that has forced the majority of the UK’s “non-essential” retail shops to close.
Stores in Scotland will remain closed for the foreseeable future as Scotland’s government have yet to announce a date for lockdown easement. Stores in Wales and Northern Ireland could start to reopen from Friday.
Prowler which has five stores across England tweeted that its stores in Soho, Bournemouth, Bristol and Brighton had all reopened.
Clonezone also tweeted that it had reopened all four of its branches including the flagship store on Old Compton Street, in Soho and showed how their shop layout had changed to become COVID Secure.
It also warned that only seven customers would be allowed into the store at anyone time.
Fetch also in London tweeted that it had opened its doors and asked its customers to remember to sanitise their hands on the way into the store.
Stores in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland remain under lockdown until their respective governments start to loosen restrictions.
The rest of the LGBT+ scene remains shuttered until at least the 4th of July in England. Gay bars, saunas and hotels will have to remain close until lockdown restrictions are eased.

The UK has a number of saunas dedicated to gay, bi and curious men. Here we’ve listed all the major cities in which there is a gay sauna.
MAIN CITIES:

We’re now officially in pride month. Towns and cities around the UK are flying their rainbow flags in solidarity with their LGBT+ citizens.
However two villages in Derbyshire will not be flying the flags after the majority of parish councillors voted against them being displayed.
According to DerbyshireLive, councillors from Ockbrook and Borrowash parish council decided against flying rainbow flags. When asked why a statement said there was a “fear” that flying the iconic symbols would set a “dangerous precedent”.
The unnamed councillor is quoted as saying: “The parish council is of the opinion that it is totally wrong to politicise this issue by the flying of a flag which seemingly gives the appearance that one part of our community is being made more special than all the others. This simply cannot be right.
“Some councillors fear that a dangerous precedent could be set by flying this flag which could be seen as divisive when we have spent many years working to bring our communities together.”
It is unclear which councillor made the statement and DerbyshireLive have apparently reached out to ascertain who made the statement.
In 2016, Warwick District Council had come under criticism after refusing to fly the rainbow flag during Warwickshire Pride, a petition was launched with many who signed, describing their disappointment with the council’s original decision.
However the decision was overturned a month after mounting pressure from the organisers of Warwickshire Pride.

Journalist India Willoughby just questioned why one of ITV’s flagship daytime programmes, Loose Women has never had any permanent LGBT+ representation on its panel – despite the fact that they have, in the past, talked regularly about LGBT+ issues.
In her now-deleted Tweet, India said, “#LooseWomen has never had a regular panelist who’s LGBT in 30 years. Will this be ever addressed? #2020
Then added, “Currently solely for straight, coupled-up, hetero-normative women. That’s the profile.”
The show currently has Kaye Adams, Ruth Lansford, Andrea McLean and Christine Lampard as its regular presenters.
The show which has been running since 1999, has only featured three out, panellists. None of which had long term contracts.
In 2004, Amy Lamé, who is out and London’s “Night Czar” was a presenter for a brief period and then in 2018, the show saw Anna Richardson take on some hosting responsibilities.
Also in 2018 Mel B had also had a stint as a guest panelist.
