Out of the Shadows at Omnibus Theatre, Clapham’s 96 Festival
Out of the Shadows
A Concert featuring Works by Robert Hugill
As part of Omnibus Theatre, Clapham’s 96 Festival, its celebration of queerness and theatreBritish composer Robert Hugill is delighted to announce that following its successful premiere in February 2023, Out of the Shadows, the evening of his music will be returning in 2024.
The featured works by Robert Hugill, including two significant recent works, showcase his exceptional sensitivity to text and melody, which shines through his clear and lyrical musical language.
As part of 96 Festival at Omnibus Theatre, 1 Clapham Common Northside, London SW4 0QW, a celebration of queerness and theatre, Out of the Shadows will be performed at 7pm on Sunday, 16 June 2024.
The performers are tenor Ben Vonberg-Clark (precentor at the church of St John the Divine, Kennington and conductor of the London Youth Boys’ Choir), baritone Jonathan Eyers (Young Artist at the National Opera Studio), and pianist Nigel Foster (founder and artistic director of the London Song Festival).
The programme features two of Robert Hugill’s cantatas.
Out of the Shadows, inspired by a re-reading of Graham Robb’s book ‘Strangers: Homosexual Love in the Nineteenth Century’, uses historic texts to explore homosexual men’s gradual emergence in the 19th century.
Et expecto explores ideas of life after death via Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, ballads about the body-snatchers Burke & Hare, the Wikipedia entry on Cryonics and Walt Whitman’s poetry.
Alongside these there are love songs and settings of Michaelangelo’s sonnets plus a depiction of an Aids candlelit memorial.

What does it mean to be non-binary?
Table of Contents
So, what does Non-Binary mean?
Photo by Reyna Montgomery on Pexels.com So, you’ve probably heard the term “non-binary” before, right? It’s a way people describe their gender identity when they don’t feel like they fit neatly into the categories of “man” or “woman.” Basically, it’s like saying, “Hey, I’m not just one or the other.”
Now, being non-binary can look different for everyone. Some folks might feel a mix of masculine and feminine, some might lean more towards one side, or some might feel like they’re outside of those labels altogether.
It’s important to note that while non-binary is its own thing, it’s also an umbrella term. That means it covers a bunch of other gender identities too.
And here’s a little nugget of knowledge: not all non-binary people see themselves as transgender. It’s like how all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares—kind of like that.
Since everyone’s experience with being non-binary can be different, it’s always cool to ask someone what it means to them. It’s all about understanding and respecting each other’s identities, you know?
So where did the term Non-Binary come from?
Got it, let’s unpack that!
Okay, so the term “non-binary” makes a lot of sense when you break it down. You’ve got “non-” meaning “not” or “lack of,” and then “binary,” which means “consisting of two.” Put them together, and you’ve got “not consisting of two.” Pretty straightforward, right? It’s like saying, “Hey, I’m not fitting into just two categories.”
Now, there’s this cool alternative name, “enby,” which comes from how you say the abbreviation “NB.” See, “NB” stands for “non-binary,” and when you say it out loud, it sounds like “enby.” Neat, huh?
Oh, but here’s a heads-up: it’s good practice to abbreviate “non-binary” as “NBi” instead of just “NB.” Why? Well, sometimes “NB” is used to mean “non-Black” when talking about non-Black people of colour. So, to avoid any confusion, adding that “i” can make a big difference.
Is there a non-binary day or week or month?
Did you know there’s a special day just for celebrating non-binary folks? It’s called International Non-Binary People’s Day, and it’s been happening every July 14th since 2012.
Now, why July 14th? Well, it’s right smack dab in between International Women’s Day on March 8th and International Men’s Day on November 19th. So, it’s like a way of saying, “Hey, there’s more to gender than just ‘man’ and ‘woman’.”
But wait, there’s more! The whole week surrounding July 14th is known as Non-Binary Awareness Week. During this time, it’s all about shining a spotlight on non-binary people and their communities, celebrating who they are, and spreading awareness. It’s like a big party, but also a chance for everyone to learn how to be better allies to non-binary folks. Cool, right?
What’s the non-binary flag like?
Check out the non-binary flag—it’s pretty cool! It’s got four horizontal stripes, each with its own meaning.
First up, there’s yellow at the top. That’s for folks whose gender exists completely outside of the traditional “man” or “woman” binary. It’s like saying, “Hey, I’m breaking free from those labels!”
Next, we’ve got purple. This represents people who kinda relate to the binary but also feel like their gender is somewhere in between “man” and “woman,” or maybe even a mix of both. It’s all about that beautiful spectrum!
Then there’s white. That’s for folks who are multigender, meaning they identify with many or even all genders. It’s like embracing the diversity of who they are.
And last but not least, there’s black. This is for people who are agender, meaning they don’t identify with any gender at all. It’s like saying, “Gender? Nah, not for me.”
Pretty neat, right? It’s like a rainbow of identities all coming together on one flag.

Every major Pride event scheduled for 2024
From Sydney to Singapore and Bangkok to Birmingham, this comprehensive compilation features key dates for all major global Pride events occurring throughout 2024.
Last year we witnessed one of the most significant celebrations of LGBTQIA+ inclusion and acceptance worldwide, with the queer community and its allies gathering for over a thousand Pride events in 56 countries.
Amid various legislative efforts aiming to undermine the rights of LGBTQIA+ individuals, particularly targeting transgender people and drag performers, it is paramount to demonstrate solidarity, persist in advocating for equality, and commemorate the progress achieved thus far. Additionally, it is essential to continue honouring the LGBT+ pioneers whose efforts paved the way for the rights we enjoy today.
To find out dates for every pride in the UK, check out pridedates.co.uk for a comprehensive list of pride events happening in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Eire.

Seems as though British penises are just average
Table of Contents
According to studies, it has been found that the size of British penises falls within the average range.
A comprehensive analysis conducted by Mandatory.com collected data on erect penis sizes from 80 countries worldwide and created a chart displaying the results.
The United Kingdom’s placement on the chart reveals that its average size is precisely in the middle. It doesn’t reach the larger sizes represented by the green column, nor does it fall into the smaller sizes represented by the yellow column. Instead, it lands in the orange column, indicating an average size.
Which country’s men have the biggest penises?
Comparatively, the country with the longest average erect penises is reported to be the Democratic Republic of the Congo, measuring approximately 7.1 inches. On the other end of the spectrum, North Korea has the smallest average size, with around 3.8 inches.
Taking the average of all countries, the global average erect penis size is approximately 5.5 inches.
Which country does the UK’s men surpass in terms of Penis Size?
Guys in the United Kingdom matches this average, surpassing countries such as the United States (5.1 inches) and China (4.3 inches), but sharing the same average size as New Zealand, Ukraine, and Canada.
How do you measure you penis?
Mandatory.com suggests that the correct way to measure penis length is from the tip of the penis to the very bottom of the pubic bone. Interestingly, only a small percentage (approximately 3%) of men worldwide have a penis measuring over 8 inches in length. For a detailed demonstration of the correct measuring technique, you can refer to a video by David Wavey that provides precise instructions.
