The lesbian politics of utopian socialism: The abused have become the abusers.

History has not been taken as a lesson that should be remembered, learnt and avoid past errors but we are far too careless and ignorant to take responsibility. The lesbian community was one of acceptance and played a leading role in tolerance from the 1950’s until the late 2000’s. There were two descriptive characters to name the limited variety of lesbian brackets: The famed feminist fems who were renown for their trails of heartbreaks and social justice fights and the butch who resembled the manners of a gentleman with a slight touch of roughness around the edges. The community then could be described as an embracing entity compared to today’s need of approval. What was once a welcoming and tolerant scenery has become a mere snub in the dark, where one has to behave, think and look a ce...

Cropped haircuts and political idiocy – Pt. 2

Let’s break down the myth that the right Honourable Jeremy Corbyn is a friend of the community. Mr Corbyn has shared platforms with Islamic cleric Sheik Raed Salah, who has called for all homosexuals to be thrown off rooftops, political activist Abu Jaja who demanded that homosexuals have their throats slit from left to right, the three meetings with the Islamic government of Tunisia who have implemented homosexuality as a punishable crime, the multiple private gatherings with the ex leader of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who publicly hanged homosexuals while Corbyn was and still is on Iran’s payroll and last but not least a large donation to the Labour party by the world renown Holocaust denier David Irwin was gracefully accepted (you can imagine what his stance would be on homosexuality con...
True love lasts forever. Seriously?

True love lasts forever. Seriously?

Once upon a time, love would last a lifetime. Today there's room for more than just one love in a lifetime: divorce rates keep rising while marriage drops. Why? As I said, "once upon a time" couples would stay together forever. Yes, that was back in the Middle Ages,  when only the luckiest people would get to turn 45 years of age as plague and starvation would kill you way before. At that time, aged 20 (or even earlier), you would get married and spend the other twenty years making babies and then die, yes, because there was no such thing as divorce. Today our life expectancy is way higher. We are aware that we can easily fall in love with someone or even hate that person; it only takes a moment. Just like any other thing in the world, love is born, grows, changes, dies, and turns into...

Cropped haircuts and political idiocy – Pt.1

So, if I don't look like that, does it mean I'm less lesbian than you? Today’s statement on what a lesbian must look like has been thwarted and dismembered by the ‘lesbian fashionistas’. Their statement does not cease at fashion but overlaps to what you should weigh and the requirement of lesbian behaviour. Dress codes change through time but the disputed distinctive lesbian look is today’s glorified symbol: Cropped haircuts, baggy clothes and bright or dark colours are acceptable. You cannot appear to symbolise femininity as the fight of lesbianism has shadowed the feminine ways of so many of us. To look, behave and to speak as a woman would be nothing more than traitorous and controversial to the movement. A minority of disregarded lesbians such as myself would class the lesbian moveme...

Relate and Relations: The excluded minority

Coming out of older lesbians. We focus primarily on the coming out stories of the younger generation but what we forget to acknowledge is that it is the past generations that have paved the way for today’s acceptance of the LGBT community across Western societies. My goal was to research on how the older lesbians perceive the rose to fame lesbian community. I had found a lady that I had met at a monthly meet-up in London’s famous Retro Bar. Little did I know, the story I was seeking was about to open an entirely new chapter parallel to my initial works. I had carefully prepared triggering questions only to find myself engulfed and thrown deep into the life of an individual, who at first glance one would consider to be your usual Londoner having her well deserved pint after a long day at w...
There is hope for gay couples in Scotland who want to have a baby by NHS Surrogate.

There is hope for gay couples in Scotland who want to have a baby by NHS Surrogate.

There is hope and “an open door” for others. A happy ending for Ross and Chris Muller, a Scottish couple that lives in Edinburgh and got married after 8 years of relationship. A couple that - like many others - always dreamed about starting a family together and finally their dream is coming true. They initially looked at adoption before settling on surrogacy, and having one of the best news in the world for them. After many researches they finally found a way to get surrogacy, but there is something we always have to keep in mind when taking this option into consideration: the super expensive costs of private surrogacy. They did not give up. As reported on the Daily Record, once they faced this very bad surprise, they asked NHS to help them but their request was refused because t...

Owning homophobic comments: we should all learn from this brand!

By continuing to come back to this post and commenting will continue to push it out to other people. We know how instagram works, don’t we? Well, let me tell you that if we like a pic or comment it, IG will understand that this post is interesting and it will automatically be pushed to more users on that social network, who will like it themselves (or maybe write a comment to it) and other people will see that post in their feed too… and so on. This is basically what is happening to Playful Promises - a famous British Lingerie brand - that on Saturday, posted a pic of Jake DuPree - the famous “merman” from Los Angeles, wearing a dusty rose bra and suspender set.“ https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pWqOQBcnN/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loadingù “Jake DuPree causing heart palp...

Being fat in an unloved community: Are we deserving of a fairytale ending ?

Love is difficult enough without having physical constraints that prevent good first impressions. As a lesbian, it is harder to find your soulmate. We are limited in our small community and having to work with a bare minimum is always a challenge. Does the fairy tale ending exist for us ? I have spent many sleepless nights consumed by diving into my imagination of spending moments with my soulmate. Like many women, I dream of a wedding filled with sharing love and happiness with friends and family. It wasn’t until in the early hours of Thursday morning that I had decided to watch an episode of Australian ‘Married at First Site’. I fell upon a lesbian couple called Amanda and Tash. Their wedding melted my heart. The smiles, the giggles, the happiness all around was magical; it gave...

Pope Ratzinger booms against gay marriages and abortion

"Gay weddings and abortion are signs of the Antichrist" Here we go again, the Pope who abdicated for a younger and more likeable Pope, the one who was put in the corner by Saint Mother Church because his likability had fallen so so much to become frightening for the entire Church Organisation, just can’t really stay quiete and water his little roses. In his biography that is being published today in Germany, and as anticipated by the ultra-conservative and Catholic American website LifeSiteNews, PapaRatzy allows himself to a series of questions in which he touches subjects, that in his opinion, are dangerous for the power of the Church in the world. According to what the aforementioned site anticipated, the real problems for The Church Ltd., are not the myriads of sexual abuses on c...
