  • 6 things we learned this week: Landlords, gender neutrality and Thomas Dekker coming out as gay

    From the cost of running a gay bar in London to gender neutral tube announcements, we’ve learned quite a lot this week.

    TV Star Thomas Dekker came out gay… Welcome to the family!

    Many of us were shocked to learn that Jeremy Joseph, owner of the G-A-Y venues is having his rent upped to nearly three-quarters of a million a year for G-A-Y Late. Could huge rent increases be the reason for London’s declining LGBT+ spaces?

    Peter Tatchell asked if homophobia was holding back Pride in London?

    A gay man who has been battling cancer got the shock of his life at pride when friends and family took over the video screens to send their love and support

    Adam Rickitt proved he still has the perkiest butt in the business.

    The news that Transport for London is going to get rid of “Ladies and Gentlemen” in its public announcements was met with mixed response and it has to be said, it was mainly negative.

     

  • 6 things we learnt this week: Judge Rinder is hot, Mary’s left the building and homophobia in Hollywood still exists

    This week we’ve learnt a lot. From Mary Berry to Judge Rinder… Here’s 6 things that got our readers talking. (now with added emjois)

     

    ? The Judge’s hot chest

    Judge Rinder, who usually spends his TV time covered head to toe in his courtroom robes wowed fans with his surprisingly ripped torso. He also wowed the judges in his first dance of the competition on Strictly. We didn’t mind.

     

    ? Hollywood’s Homophobia

    Ira Sachs surprised us by talking about homophobia in Hollywood – the worst of it is that gay men are apparently the culprits.

     

    ? Not following the breadcrumbs

    Mary Berry shocked the internet when she announced that she wasn’t following Bake Off to it’s new home on Channel 4, leaving people to suspect that Channel 4 has basically bought a £75 million tent and Paul Hollywood.

     

    ? Out got Ousted.

    The decision to profile Milo Yiannopoulos got the internet sort of mad. Flames and fury were aimed at US magazine Out, who even added an editorial to basically say … “He’s not us…”

     

    ? Ever wondered what a Vajazzle would look like on a guy?

    Now you don’t have to wonder anymore – it’s actually called a PeJazzle and X Factor’s Ottavio was more than happy to share his with the world.

     

    ? The internet melted when it thought that Robert Pattinson had come out as gay…

    A spoof news site told the world that Twilight star Robert Pattinson had come out as gay and the ensuing dramz that followed was like the world was coming to an end. Not really. Most commentators seemed to say, “I knew it!”.  BTW he didn’t come out it was a “hilarious” ruse.

  • Top Stories: Enrique, Harry’s Foreskin, Essential Gay Films and My First Porn

    From Enrique Inglesias’s penis selfie to the BBC defending an implied gay sex scene, here are the top 6 stories you read on TheGayUK this week.

    First off when pop star hunk Enrique took a selfie of his penis on a fan’s camera, the world went wild for it, despite not actually seeing the “hero”. We’ve been searching for the camera on which he took the picture ever since.

    Then a Canadian penis activist made news when he wanted every teenage fan to know that Harry Styles has a foreskin. He is on a crusade to get people, especially in the US, to know that foreskins are beautiful and natural… okay.

    Our very own Greg Mitchell made a splash with his column on his very first porn shoot. Greg shared his experience of working for a top US porn producer.

    The BBC found itself having to defend an “implied” sex scene between Ben Mitchell and Paul Coker after 48 complaints were made to OfCom.

    Openly gay Conservative candidate for London Mayor Ivan Massow released an interesting campaign in which he said he wanted to stay overnight with a new Londoner every night for 30 nights.

    and finally…

    Also the Scottish Pride event, Free Pride, came under intense criticism this week after it decided to ban all non-trans drag queen from performing at its event. It later reversed it’s policy after becoming the focus of international headlines.
