    A gay man has allegedly been escorted from a pub in Manchester after kissing another man on the lips.

    • Friends say man was left “Shaken”.
    • Man was reportedly removed from the pub after kissing another man on the lips.
    • Pub claims man was drunk and removed as normal.
    • Twitter users respond suggesting “Kiss In” retaliation.

    A man was allegedly removed from Mulligans in Manchester after kissing another man on the lips at the bar, reports have serviced via the Twitter social network.

    Actor John Last tweeted, “My friend was just escorted out of ‪@mulligans_MCR for kissing a man on the lips. Disgusting homophobia.

    “…He was escorted from the bar after kissing a man.”

    Speaking with TheGayUK, Last said, that his friend was left “shaken” after the incident that happened on the evening of 17th March.

    The man was removed by Security.

    Hannah Martin a campaigner for Greenpeace reported the incident on Twitter today, claiming the unnamed man was “escorted out” of the pub, before adding, “This is 2015 not 1915”

    The pub, which is based in Deansgate, Manchester, a short walk away from the centre of Manchester’s gay village, responded to the allegations by tweeting Mr Last saying:

    “Your friend (went) outside for a cig, drank too much, advised, as is norm, no re entry. The ONLY reason. ALL customers welcome.

    “No interest WHATSOEVER in any customers personal preference, nor should we have, we sell entertainment

    “No further comment from Mulligans.

    According to a spokesperson for the pub, the man asked to retrieve his jacket and was escorted through the pub by security, reported as normal procedure.

    An email was sent to THEGAYUK for clarification from Padraig Brady, “The customer in question went outside to have a cigarette, whilst outside he was observed to be unsteady on his feet. He was spoken to and it was obvious that he had consumed too much alcohol (no crime) and was advised that he would not be re admitted. We were asked for a jacket to be retrieved, as is the NORM, a member of security, escorted went in and retrieved the jacket and the customer left. On a day like yesterday, there are numerous occasions whereby, a customer, of WHATEVER, personal preference will be deemed to have consumed too much alcohol and therefore not be re admitted to the premises. Are you suggesting that 1 customer among 20 outside smoking was somehow, in amongst a group of 250 customers, was somehow, through, CLOSED DOORS, not allowed to re enter the premises because they have a particular preference???

    We are a business that sells entertainment to customers of whatever preference.”

  • FILM REVIEW | Kissing Darkness

    ★★ | Kissing Darkness

    New gay film Kissing Darkness can be summed up as summer camp meets the Twilight movies.

    Five college boys decide to skip the gay pride festivities in their hometown of Los Angeles to spend the weekend in a cabin in the woods. They are young, cute, sexy and believe it or not one of them is straight Vlad (the very hot Nick Airus). He’s vile, unhappy, homophobic and luckily for us spends more of the film with his shirt off. Why he would want to go on a camping trip with four other gay men is beyond me. Of course, all of other men fancy him, but Vlad’s nipples aren’t the only things lurking around. There’s also Malice Valeria, a local woman (ghost?) who, after catching her boyfriend in bed with another man decides to bite Vlad (and the rest of boys one by one) to turn them into her slaves.

    In between all of this we see the men in the house in various states of undress, it’s pleasing to the eye and takes away from a story that’s pretty bad. Unfortunately, it’s all Kissing Darkness has going for it – the eye candy (did I mention how hot Airus is)?

    The plot is quite ridiculous, the acting mediocre, and luckily for us it’s only 87 minutes. Gay Director and writer James Townsend, who plays one of the boy’s lover in the film (he shows up near the end), has put together a film that’s so bad that it’s not even good. Hey, but at least there are lots of young male bodies to look at.

    The tagline of the film is ‘Love Has Never Been so Cruel’ – that pretty much says it all!

  • Can Am Spyder F3-S, Best thing out of Canada since Celine Dion

    Is it a car? Not really. Is it a motorbike? Definitely not. So what is it? Only the best thing to come out Canada since Celine Dion, the Can Am Spyder F3-S.

    Beneath the outlandish bodywork sits a grunty 1330cc 3 cylinder engine pushing out 115bhp through a 6 speed gearbox. While 115bhp is a bit underwhelming in a car, the Spyder weighs less than 500kgs complete with this particular rider. That translates to 0-60 mph in 4.8 seconds or about the same as an Aston Martin V8 Vantage, happy days. Cranking the hand operated throttle open fully for the first time confirms there’s some lead in its pencil. Keep it pinned past 4500 rpm and things get plain silly. I’ve never driven or ridden anything that can overtake as quickly as this.

    To keep you safe with all this performance, Can Am have added their Vehicle Stability System (VSS). It knows when you do something stupid and then sorts it out with electronic witchcraft. Don’t get me wrong, you don’t suddenly become impervious to harm but at no point during the test did I feel any sense of impending doom. This included one near brown trouser moment involving a mountain road, a sheep and a hard stop from the far side of 60mph. Even with plenty of bumps the F3-S stopped perfectly straight and with plenty of time to spare. Brake fade was never an issue either. Having two wheels up front also means the Spyder won’t topple over under heavy cornering. 

    One thing you have to get used to quickly is being the centre of attention wherever you go. Sitting in traffic, cars travelling the opposite direction were slowing and stopping just to catch a better look while pedestrian’s heads spin round wherever you go. If the standard looks aren’t individual enough, there are a range of packages to customise the look of your machine. The test vehicle pictured has the ‘Muscle Attitude’ package bringing matt black stripes, Akrapovič silencer (particularly epic in tunnels), a small spoiler, additional lights and a couple of other trinkets.

    To ride/drive/pilot, the F3-S never fully feels like a bike due to the width and the fact you don’t lean it into a corner. It never fully feels like a car either due to the handlebars and riding position. What you do get is the feeling of openness you get on a bike but with a feeling of increased security thanks to the two front wheels and VSS. For cruising this is ideal as the great visibility coupled to the comfortable and fully adjustable riding position means you can ride for hours with surprising ease. Even after a day of riding on a mixture of dual carriageways, country lanes and mountain passes I still felt I could jump back in the saddle and do it all over again.

    Naturally there are some downsides. The VSS is barely noticeable 99% of the time but can be intrusive if you’re really on it. On track the brakes could come on abruptly and almost stop the F3-S if your corner entry was too ambitious. Wannabe drifters will be disappointed too, some wagging of the tail can be felt but never enough to warrant much more than a twitch of opposite lock before the traction control stepped in. If I’m nit-picking, the horn button was also too close to the indicators, causing the odd embarrassing honk in towns. It’s not cheap either, the RRP of the F3 starts at £15,999 while the F3-S model tested was £18,399 including the optional and very good semi-automatic gearbox.

    So, what to make of it then? To compare it directly to a car or bike seems a bit unfair as at the end of the day it is more of a weekend toy than serious transport solution. Take practicality out of it and the Spyder does start to make sense. At £18k, no other new vehicle will turn as many heads or be as crushingly rapid in a package that could be handled by a relative novice. As for the on limit handling and electronic intervention, I think it’s fair to say balls out is not the Spyder’s preferred pace. Back things off a little and it impresses with its combination of acceleration, comfort and stability. As a totally unique, well made, surefooted cruiser that just happens to be mind scrambling fast in a straight line, the Can Am Spyder F3-S is a hell of a machine.

  • Top 10 Hottest Irish Actors

    Ireland is famous for many things. As a proud Irish man myself, I’ve grown up with Riverdance, Sinead O’Connor’s numerous tabloid meltdowns, Guinness, the outdated stereotypes of leprechauns and pots of gold. Oh, and Irish men. Because you see, ain’t nobody can do it like an Irish boy.

    In the past we’ve swooned over Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson and more recently Colin Farrell, but there’s a smouldering new pack of Emerald hunks about to take Hollywood by storm and set hearts aflutter. These 10 guys will want you wishing you had some Irish in you.

    10 ) An acquired taste perhaps, but anyone who has seen Michael’s stunning performances on Hunger or Shame, would know that the Kerryman is well, ahem, equipped. Fassbender has been on a steady rise to stardom the past few years. Smouldering, intense, Michael Fassbender is an intriguing proposition.

  • INTERVIEW: Susan And Karl Kennedy: Gay Marriage Could Be in Neighbours’ Future

    Jackie Woodburne and Alan Fletcher are two of daytime TV’s greatest legends and we say that with earnest research on the matter. Having played a married couple for over 20 years, you’d think they’d be over talking about their on-screen relationship! Not so. Prepare for the campest interview any Neighbour’s actor has or could ever do.

    TGUK: You’ve been on-screen married for over 20 years What’s the secret to an onscreen marriage?

    a) Cast Iron contract with a TV Network?

    b) Sharing moments off-screen and on-screen like a real couple?

    c) I’ll be in my trailer… Don’t talk to me…

    Jackie: Oh, I think it’s a combination of all three and of course, no sex.

    Alan: The important thing is definitely no sex so you don’t disappoint each other.

    No sex? In 30 years? Who knew Cliff Richard wasn’t the only one missing out after all.  2/10 – purely for the honesty.

     

    Do people in real life think you’re actually hitched?

    Jackie: No, possibly because we get along so well that people think ‘they can’t possibly be married’.

    Alan: Yes agreed, we are way too tolerant of each other’s idiosyncrasies.

    You’re ruining the illusion. Karl and Susan, Karl and Susan – is now and forever thus. Don’t ruin this for me *drinks gin and cries softy into my 1995 Neighbours annual*. 7/10.

     

    Have you ever had a moment (wink wink nudge nudge) together?

    Jackie: Many.

    Alan: I have been in love with Jackie Woodburne from the day I met her and considering our first role was a brother and sister, that is a testament to the depth on my feelings for her.

    That was sweet… Pass me a bucket or binoculars… Can’t make up my mind. *Still drinking gin*. 9/10

     

    What do you think the intimate, between the sheets activities, would be like between Karl and Susan?

    Jackie: A monster truck rally!

    Alan: I can’t top that.

    So there would be a lot of ticketed spectators in the room and some dock off big cars. Whatever floats the boats. 

    15/10 – Those script-notes must read like a Jackie Collins’.

     

    Complete this… Kylie should…

    Jackie: Return to Ramsay Street

    Alan: Cover a song for Karl’s band Right Prescription

    I should be so lucky… and everyone else of course. Start the Crowdfunder now… Alan – nicely plugged, the invoice is in the post.

    10/10

    Finish this gay mantra: ‘I made it through the wilderness, somehow I made it through…’Alan: ‘Didn’t know how lost I was’

    Jackie: ‘until I found you on Ramsay Street’

    We had to cut this section down. Like drunken karaoke, throw them a mic and you’ll never get it back.

    4/10

     

    The best way to deal with a cheating man is…

    a) Take to his wardrobe and show his silks the scissors?

    b) Lock yourself in your room, play Celine’s All By Myself on repeat, whilst drowning yourself in red wine, watching day re-runs of Neighbours?

    c) Wash that man right out of your hair?

    Jackie: A combination of all three, if there is no option, to kill him.

    Alan: Since murder is a life sentence, perhaps safer to go with number 3.

    Whatever you do – Don’t mess with Jackie. It may turn a bit First Wives Club. As for Alan, I’m sure we’re all asking the same question… What men have you had in your hair?

    10/10 for both drama and leaving us suspicious.

    Alan, Have you ever been asked to deal with a real-life medical emergency?
    Alan: By my own family ALL the time, they call me Dr Dad.
    Jackie: That is the saddest thing I’ve ever heard, please tell me you don’t treat them.

    Is there an actor in the house? I can see the court case now. Probably Judge Judy. Jackie, never tell him you’re feeling ill on set! 

    8/10 – for the can-do attitude

     

    The best way to upgrade your seat on an aeroplane is?

    Jackie: Fake a fit.

    Alan: Throw your dinner up, they will quickly move you.

    That’s right folks. You think a Ryanair full of noisy kids is bad, wait till you’ve travelled Outback Air!

    2/10 – Obviously never read the book of British etiquette.

    If you could bring back any of the heritage characters from Neighbours who would you?
    (Heritage being from the late 80s – 90s)
    Jackie: Well, I just got my wish with Harold returning for the 30th Anniversary, however, I would also say the Timmins’ family.
    Alan: Joe Mangle for me, I love Joe Mangle.

    Ah, Harold. We do love a good death and reincarnation in a soap. A bit like Vera Duckworth in Corrie. Sadly the afterlife never allows them to stay very long. 

    9/10 – nearly top points but you did miss Nell Mangel – a personal hero.

    Jackie, your character is now a marriage celebrant – any same-sex marriages on the horizon?
    Jackie: I wouldn’t be surprised if that was in Ramsay Street’s future.

    Graham, grab your bags we’re heading to Ramsay Street.

    7/10 for the hopes of the first gay marriage.10/10 if you’ll do it for free

  • Dad Tells Son His Coming Out Is “Worse Than Death”

    We’ve heard quite a few successful stories when it comes to coming out in recent years, but this painful message exchange from a father to his 15-year-old son shows the struggles some people still face when coming out to family and friends.

    Shocking Facebook messenger messages from a father to his gay son have emerged on social media after he said that his coming out “was worse than death”.

    Tyler from Vancouver in Canada posted the homophobic and abusive messages he received from his father on his Tumblr page. The messages were a result of Tyler coming out on Facebook post.

    “We took care of you since you were a baby. We loved you, took care of you when you’re sick. Lost many days and nights in all your fifteen years. Now [sic] this is what we get in return, shame and embarrassment…Take out your post from the social media. You embarrass me… I’m going to puke.

    “if only you didn’t reject God and His teachings in your life you could have been strong enough to stay from evil and scums that surrounds you.

    “stay away

    “Take out your post from the social media. You embarrass me from all the people I knew. I’m going to puke. Whatever you do it reflects on me. People will ridicule me,insul;t me and I might turn out to be a criminal. I have enough of all this bullsh**

    “You are trying to ruin me. This is worst [sic] that death

    “You f****K,!!!”

    However Tyler is hoping for a positive outcome soon, speaking to HuffPost he said,”I’m upset with what my dad said, but I don’t hate him,

    “I’m hoping there’s still the possibility that he could change, even it takes while. Maybe he could accept me, because that’s all I want… I just want him to be there for me.”

  • Is Penis Enlargement The New Nose Job?

    Is penis enlargement the new nose job?

    Sponsored by

    There’s been a lot of talk about Penis size recently and with the revelation that the average size is smaller than you might think, men are still clamouring for that extra inch.

    WORRIED: Many men are concerned with the size of their manhood. Our survey found over a third were worried about length or girth.
    According to a new survey the average erect penis is 5.16 inches, not the six to seven inches that was usually suspected average. A collective sigh of relief was heard from men all over the world, but that revelation hasn’t deterred men from all over the country making enquiries about penis enlargement.

    In a survey, under taken by TheGayUK, it seems as though us Brits are still troubled by willy worry as we found that over a third of men were unhappy with their penis in someway or another. The poll also found that thirty-four percent were concerned about their length and 29% were worried about girth issues, while one in ten of us has considered picking up the phone and calling a surgeon.

    WHAT’S DOWN THERE: Despite the average length revealed as 5.16inches, some men have taken to surgery to gain up to an extra inch.

    One clinic, the Moorgate Aesthetics clinic on London’s medical mecca Harley Street, has found that enquiries for enlargement surgeries are on the up and are more sought after now than the common nose job, but just what does the nob job actually entail? How much more can you realistically expect to grow from such procedures?

    According to Moorgate Aesthetics the average lengthening is around one inch, this is achieved by the cutting of the suspensory ligament. A relatively straightforward surgery and girth can be improved substantially by transferring fat from other areas on your body to your penis. However because fat is a natural substance, it may need a top in the future. However, there is a little downside to the surgery and that is no sex for at least 6 weeks after the procedure, a small sacrifice though for a large improvement!

     

    HAPPY PETE: Many men who have undertaken the surgery are happy with the result – and with a downtime of just 6 weeks, men can gain an extra inch in length – or even more with their girth.

    So just why are we so concerned about the length of our penis? Some suspect it could be the influx of well endowed porn stars or the increase of “monster c**k” porn available on streaming services, making us jealous. A spokesperson from Moorgate Aesthetics said, “One of the reasons for their belief that their penis is too small stems from derogatory comments made by sexual partners – comments that are often simply throw-away ones, but that stick in the memory for years to come. For others, it’s a realisation that their penis didn’t grow as it should have done in their formative years.

    Many others feel that the size of their penis has prevented them from starting sexual relationships, and now yearn for the chance to develop a lasting and fulfilling sexual relationship with a partner.”

     

    If you would like to talk with someone regarding a possible enlargement or for more information then contact Moorgate Aesthetics confidentially on 01302 246 130 or visit: www.moorgateaesthetics.com
