  • Alexander ONeal Calls Perez “Silly Ass F*ggot”

    All is not good in the BB house as Perez’s erratic behaviour goes from bad to worse, ending with Alexander O’Neal using an offensive anti-gay slur.

    If you were wondering why Perez was sitting behind the stairs in the last night’s eviction show, it’s because a whole load of shiz had been going on that we didn’t see… (yet).

    Earlier on in the day Perez had been antagonising Criticise hit maker, Alexander O’Neal by staring and blowing kisses at him. When Alexander leaves to go to the lounge, Perez follows and sits silently. Eventually, this causes Alexander to tell Perez, “I know what you want but you’re not going to get it…You’re going to sit there with that silly ass fa**ot look on your face”

    The other Housemates stop Alexander from making any further comments, as Perez walks away. Katie storms after Perez and tells him, “No one messes with the big guy!”

    Perez then discovers that Katie has broken the hare statue, and she is called to the Diary Room.

    Later in the diary room Alexander tells Big Brother that he doesn’t feel comfortable in any corner of the House. Big Brother then issues Alexander with a formal warning because of his unacceptable language towards Perez. Alexander apologises for his actions.

    Perez tells Big Brother that he needs to speak with his lawyer and initially refuses to sit in the Diary Room chair. He goes on to say that two Housemates have threatened him, and questions whether Alexander can control his emotions. Perez then starts crying and says “I have tried with every ounce of my being to be a professional here” Big Brother reassures Perez that his welfare is a top priority.

    Vile homophobia has been directed at Perez Hilton from users on Twitter after he was seen acting out in the Big Brother garden in yesterday’s show. His performance got Michelle Visage all emotional, saying that his behaviour had set back the gay community fifty years.

  • UKIP Parliamentary Candidate In Homophobic Recorded Rant

    The Mail On Sunday has released a recording of Kerry Smith, a senior UKIP member, making seriously offensive remarks about gay, lesbian, bi and trans people.

    Kerry Smith, a UKIP parliamentary candidate has been caught in a recording calling gay men “Poofers” and a likening the LGBT acronym to a BLT sandwich, “with a Q on the end.” Smith is the party’s PPC in South Basildon and East Thurrock. The recordings of his phone calls have been released by The Mail On Sunday.

    In the recordings, he also is heard to refer to a Chinese woman as ‘ a Chinky’.

    At one point in the recording, he is heard talking about former UKIP Youth chairman, Olly Neville saying,

    “Olly Neville – the sun shines out of his rear end. He’s now setting up BLT UKIP on Facebook.

    “What the old poofter groups call themselves. I just call it a BLT like the sandwiches. It’s them letters BLT with a Q on the end, bacon, lettuce and tomato.

    “It’s got our logo done with a rainbow. F**king loopy. That’s been approved by the NEC. That’s f**king disgusting.”

    Olly Neville came under fire by the party’s leadership in 2013, when he said he endorsed same-sex marriages. Mr Neville claimed UKIP was “on the wrong side of history” on gay marriage and proceeded to publicise on Twitter emails that were to sent him by party leaders.

    A statement released by UKIP on behalf of Smith said:

    “I wish to issue a wholehearted and unreserved apology to those who I have offended within the party and anyone else.

    “With regards to the leadership and management of the party I was completely wrong and my comments were fuelled by frustrations.

    “At the time of this recording, I was considering my resignation due to major management changes which I have since discovered I completely misread and misunderstood.

    “For the record, I was also on a strong morphine-based prescription medication for a back injury.”

    Nigel Farage, leader of UKIP has refused to sack Smith over the phone calls, while the MoS claims that a “well-placed” UKIP insider said:

    “Kerry wants to make a full apology and is hoping it all blows over.”

    TheGayUK approached UKIP’s LGBT society for comment.

  • Christian Pastor Tells Gay Man To Commit Suicide

    Government’s Job To Kill Gay People Says Christian Pastor

    A shocking anti-gay rant by Christian Pastor Logan Robertson, in which he states every single gay person should be put to death, has been reported in New Zealand.

    A Christian pastor from the WestCity Baptist Church in New Zealand was initially approached by author Jim Marjoram, who reached out to over 400 churches to interview for a book he is currently writing when he received a shocking response from Robertson that said, “We are not interested in your filthy lifestyle or book,”
    “I pray that you will commit suicide you filthy child molesting fag.”

    An openly gay journalist, Matt Mclean then approached the pastor for comment and was told by Robertson, that he would “never give an interview to a filthy faggot”.

    However, in an interview later in the day he further laid out his point of view on gay people saying they should be put to death and that Christians shouldn’t be the ones to put gay men to death, but it was the responsibility of the government.

    He went on to explain, “I think every single one of them should be put to death,
    “Christians shouldn’t be doing it, I’m not going to do it, it’s the government’s job to be doing it.”

    The national leader of the Baptist Churches of New Zealand, who said that the comments were appalling, has challenged his comments and the church’s alignment to the Baptist Church in New Zealand. They stated that WestCity was not part of its organisation.

  • Same-Sex Couple Told To Stop Showing Affection In London Restaurant

    A woman and her partner were told to stop showing affection in a London restaurant, after being told ‘This is a family restaurant’.

    Lydia Cawson, said that she was told by a staff member at the Canteen eatery at the Southbank’s Royal Festival Hall, to move away from her partner whom she was consoling at the time.

    The couple had met at the restaurant during a break and Ms. Cawson was consoling her partner after a stressful week at work – with an arm around her shoulder and a ‘peck on the cheek’.

    Allegedly the couple were approached by a member of staff and asked to move away from each other.

    She told London Live ‘I didn’t notice any adverse reaction in the restaurant, myself. Then the lady came over to us and said “can you stop what you’re doing please, this is a family restaurant”.’

    Her partner then asked the member of staff, ‘Is it a family restaurant or is it a homophobic restaurant?’

    Ms. Cawson also added, The first thing is that we were really shocked by this challenge.

    We didn’t feel like we were overly affectionate. Yes, it was an intimate moment, but consoling her and just a simple loving reaction.

    The second comment was that it was a family restaurant and it made me feel; ‘why does that matter? Is it because children are present – not that there were any children present at that time – anyway, why should it matter if it is a family restaurant?’

    Taking to Twitter, Canteen owners tweeted, ‘Everyone is welcome at Canteen, gay / straight/old/ young regardless of sexuality. We are horrified at the thought of being labelled anti gay – half of our team are gay. At Canteen, we pride ourselves on being a modern, equal opportunities, open and accessible business. We want everyone to feel welcome in our restaurants.’

  • Google Play Criticised For Selling Gay Hunting Game

    The Google Play store is receiving online criticism for allowing a game to be sold that lets players hunt gays and kill them.

    The game Ass Hunter is a very basic shooting game where the player clothed in green safari outfit and holding a shotgun, moves around the screen shooting ‘gays’ – depicted here as naked men with waving tackle!

    You could be mistaken into thinking that the game is just another war game with men shooting other men, however, the developer’s almost comical homophobic description explains that you are indeed hunting gays here.

    ‘Play and do not be gay!’

    ‘Legendary game, where you are a hunter and your mission is to kill gays as much as you can.’

    ‘Gays may be hidden in bushes and unexpectedly catch you.’
    ‘Remember! When they catch you they will do with you whatever they want ;)’

    The ‘whatever they want’ turns out to be a rape of the hunter of he loses a life. BarryDennen12 on YouTube has very kindly provided his walk through of the game.

    Of course, not everyone thinks this game is legendary leaving one star reviews on Google Play Store.

    ‘Homophobic filth A disgusting piece of trash Google you should be ashamed to have even published this.’ – Fifi Anderson

    ‘Abhorrent app This abhorrent app is disgusting. I too downloadabled so I could rate and report it. Google should remove this game immediately.’ – Ron Gowans-Savage

    The Google Play store has now removed the game, and Google have been approached for comment on the game.

  • Homophobic Ass Hunter Game Removed From Google After Complaints

    After numerous complaints online, the Ass Hunter game has been removed from Google Play.


    It is unclear at this point whether Google itself removed the offensive game, which sees gay men hunted and killed, or if the game makers themselves: Jay, Phil and Graphics by Stef, have removed the game.

    The game Ass Hunter is a very basic shooting game where the player clothed in a green safari outfit and holding a shotgun, moves around the screen shooting ‘gays’ – depicted here as naked men with waving tackle!

    You could be mistaken into thinking that the game is just another war game with men shooting other men, however, the developer’s almost comical homophobic description explains that you are indeed hunting gays here.

    ‘Gays may be hidden in bushes and unexpectedly catch you.’
    ‘Remember! When they catch you they will do with you whatever they want ;)’

    The game is still widely available on other gaming sites such as GameBroad.com and Flashgames247.com

    Google does not comment on indivdual apps, but the app has been taken down.

  • UK Leaflet: The Judgement Of God on Homosexualism Reveals Itself In AIDS

    An Anti-gay and abortion leaflet has left residents in Ely, Cambridge shocked and outraged.

    The leaflet which is titled Works of Darkness has been put through the doors of houses in Ely.

    Cambridgeshire Police have been notified.

    The leaflet contains paragraphs on fornication, contraception, euthanasia, homosexualism/lesbianism and divorce.

    For homosexuality, it reads: ‘Homosexuality is not inborn, it is a development disorder, a traumatised condition arising out of a dysfunctional family, or it is a lifestyle choice.

    ‘It is utterly opposed to the law of God and to nature, and should in no way be condoned or promoted.

    ‘Also, the adoption of children by gays and lesbians constitutes a form of child abuse. The judgement of God on homosexualism reveals itself in the AIDS/HIV virus.”

    According to Ely-News.co.uk one resident said, “I came home to find this vulgar, offensive thing on my doormat.

    ‘I find it extremely disturbing and I have reported it to the police. Whoever is responsible for delivering them needs to be dealt with immediately’

    Another resident said: I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I think whoever is responsible for these leaflets should be prosecuted by the police.’

    This is one of a number of leaflets that have been delivered to residents around the UK. In August residents in Brighton were outraged when similar hateful leaflets were delivered through their doors.

    A Spokeswoman for Cambridgeshire Police said, ‘Leaflets of a homophobic nature were distributed in Cambridge earlier this year. Additionally, similar material has been distributed in other areas of the county and indeed, the country.

    ‘Whilst it is acknowledged that many recipients will be offended by the leaflet’s content, Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights gives individuals the right to Freedom of Expression – the right to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideals without interference by public authority. This includes opinions which may offend, irritate, shock or disturb.

    ‘While the material being distributed earlier this week will in many cases offend, irritate, shock or disturb, the content, context and actions of the male concerned fall short of any criminality at this time.

    ‘We will however continue to monitor the situation both locally and nationally. Anyone who is approached or receives any of this literature should contact police by calling 101.’

  • The Save Benjy campaign receives homophobic threats

    Since the start of the campaign to #SaveBenjy the gay bull from slaughter, 265 backers have come forward pledging over £3,400. However, not everyone has been so approving of our fight.

    We are really blown away by the support for Benjy the little gay bull at this very early stage in the campaign, however, comments left on the official Save Benjy YouTube video shows how much homophobia there still is out there.

    HH500: ‘There are wars going on in the world and you filthy cream puff queers are going on about saving a faggot bull, how about this? Cull the damn bull and lynch you dirty fags. PROBLEM SOLVED’

    linkrock123: ‘Disgusting f**kers. An animal cannot be homosexual. If it willingly chooses to “breed” with a male, it’s because the animal has a mental deficiency. Animals breed to reproduce, nothing else. Perverted freaks.’

    Huey Freeman: ‘At first i thought this was some kind of joke.Like wtf there bulls for f**k sake .You gay people make me sick, fundraising money because of some damn bull.These animals do not feel anything when you slice there neck off they just die.You guys need help .Being gay is very wrong btw’

    Any money raised past the £5,000 target will be used to fund the keep of Benjy and also be used to help other LGBT charities across the UK helping those in our LGBT community struggling with their sexuality.

    TheGayUK has set up a Crowd Funding page to help #SaveBenjy from slaughter. Donations can be made at: www.CrowdFunder.co.uk/Save-Benjy-The-Gay-Bull

    You can also show your support on Twitter using the hashtag #SaveBenjy

    Thank You.

  • Two Men Injured In Halloween Homophobic Attack In London

    Officers in Kingston Borough are appealing for witnesses and information following a homophobic attack on two men in Surbiton in the early hours of Saturday morning, 1 November.

    Police were called at around 01:20hrs that day to reports of males fighting outside the KFC restaurant in Brighton Road, Surbiton.

    Officers attended and found a 21-year-old man [victim1] suffering a head injury.

    London Ambulance Service attended and the man was taken to a hospital. He has since been discharged.

    A second man with the victim, aged 18 [victim2], was also suffering minor facial injuries.

    The Community Safety Unit on Kingston Borough is investigating and is treating the attack as a homophobic hate crime.

    At this early stage, it is understood both victims were walking along Victoria Road and as they passed a group of two men and three women outside the YMCA they were subjected to homophobic abuse from one of the two men.

    The two victims walked away but when they reached the zebra crossing nearby the two men [suspects 1 and 2] approached them and ‘victim 2’ was punched.

    ‘Victim1’ intervened to protect ‘Victim2’ and the suspects then assaulted him.

    ‘Victim1′ ended up on the floor where the suspects kicked and stamped on him.

    Passersby intervened to stop the attack and the suspects both ran off along Victoria Road.

    A search of the area by officers did not locate anyone matching the suspects’ descriptions.

    ‘Suspect1’ has been described as: a white man, aged in his late twenties, with fair hair that was shaven, a muscular build, short in height, and wearing a pink tutu.

    ‘Suspect2’ has been described as; a white man, also aged in his late twenties, with brown short hair, and also wearing a pink tutu.

    A 26-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the incident.

    He was arrested on Tuesday, 4 November for grievous bodily harm and common assault and remains at a west London police station.

    Enquiries continue regarding the identity of the second suspect.

    Trainee Detective Constable Ann-Marie Hodgkiss, the officer in the case, said: “This was a violent and unprovoked hate crime and I am appealing for anyone with any information about the incident to contact me.

    “The two suspects were distinctively dressed, probably due to Halloween, and I would urge anyone who recognises their description and who may know who they are to contact me and help us trace them.”

    Any witnesses or anyone with any information are asked to call the Community Safety Unit at Kingston Police Station on 0208 721 5858 or via 101, or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
