It’s a Sin is a new show launching on Channel 4 in the UK where Olly Alexander - the singer of the band - is one of the main characters of the show. Olly plays the role of the main character - Ritchie - an aspiring actor who decided to move to London to get a better life, but falls into a spiral of hedonism that will lead him and his friends to experience unexpected and very difficult situations.

Davies - famous for being the creator of Queer As Folk, explores and follows the lives of a group of gay men in the 80’s, in a London hardly hit by the HIV/AIDS crisis and the deaths of thousands of people linked to the LGBT+ community all around the world. https://youtu.be/1CSkP4ktc-o This song is a slowered cover of Pet Shop Boys’s hit “It’s a...

Sanctimonious lesbians and their hypocrisy towards transexuel women

So I say to you lesbians, you are no different to any fascist group - pull your fingers out of your arses and educate yourselves on who your allies truly are. Women in the 21st Century are still sexually abused, discriminated against and indecently sexually idolised. So what gives lesbians the right to discriminate against transexual women ? I am ashamed to admit it but there was a time where I did not accept men transitioning into women. I used to find it repulsive and thought it to be a weapon to abuse females. It wasn’t until I saw a transexual woman sleeping rough that it dawned on me. I had walked by June twice that day and my heart sank as I could see beneath the dirty fingernails, the unwashed face, the greasy knotted hair and a worn out grey blanket covering her body, ...

Have I found love or is it lesbian infatuation ?

Have I found love or is it lesbian infatuation ?

Bound and imprisoned by infatuation when we could work a little harder to find true love. Do we know the difference between love and infatuation or is our misunderstanding of both meanings the cause to our short term relationship syndrome ? I have recently met a woman who has captured my very being but am I being too hasty in divulging that I am in love after one month ? Is the ‘love’ that I feel true or is it simply infatuation ? I am certain that it is possible to love immediately when a strong bond has naturally developed but could that connection be the answer to my question or am I running away from my subconsciousness. Lesbian relationships always commence with a big bang and finish with an even greater dramatical ending that no one could have foreseen yet ...

Why we should never give up on finding love

Why we should never give up on finding love

If all else fails in life, love is always to be found somewhere. Love is the reason why we should never give up. Love is no longer the storyline of a 1950’s film scenario. You’re not going to turn up to a party and there sits your soulmate playing the piano and exchanging glances. Love is confined to online dating platforms unless you consider a one night stand pick-up at a lesbian bar sufficient. Actually, a quickie at a lesbian bar is ample for most lesbians. Correct me if I’m wrong but love no longer seems to be the main goal for most people and thus begins the life journey on finding a partner who is socially acceptable based on their career, status and financial standing in contrast to finding someone who can bestow upon you daily butterflies. The three main questions whe...

Mental Health needs TLC: PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ

My whole world came falling down in silence and there was no one there to help cushion the fall. We walk the streets of London on our way to work every morning. We either wait at the bus stop or we queue to enter the tube. As we stand there, we stand amongst our fellow Londoners. Some dressed in suits ready for work in the city and others in their uniforms. We stand in silence as we await our destination, holding the railings or sitting down,our eyes firmly on the ground. Do you stop to think what might go on in the lives of those that surround you on your daily morning routine ? I sit there and I look at every single person and I try to imagine what their lives might be like. By the expression people carry, nine times out of ten you can tell if they are in muddy waters. I sit...

Sex is no longer a taboo topic but the orgasm is no longer its end goal

The orgasm will soon become a thing of the past and sexual gratification will be seeked openly through other means to an end. We are all educated on ‘traditional’ sex and we have all experienced its glory but what was once a formal traditionalist performance has become a crazed, drug fuelled, alcohol induced, wild swinging, bondage, disciplined, mistress, painful, lust and empowering stage show. Whatever happened to two people sharing a passionate, sexual and precious moment discovering one another’s pleasures ? We are spoilt with a number of rabbits, dildos, strap-ons and miscellaneous sex toys so I guess that orgasms have become a thing of the past. I was once friends with a German lesbian who became trapped by the lesbian stigma of not wanting children, basing her attraction p...

Married Couple Seek Woman: Have You Tried a Hoover and a Wet Sponge ?

For all married couples who are disrespectful towards women who do not wish to be part of their sordid sexual games, I say to you 'have you tried a hoover and a wet sponge ?'. The amount of married straight couples who lurk in the shadows of online dating sites tend to have a penchant for lesbians over bisexuals. 9 times out of 10, it’s the wife who holds a flame to experience a lustrous passionate girl on girl action while her husband can either watch or with consent might join in. I do not have an issue with couples wanting to spice up their relationship but I do hold a grudge when they begin pestering lesbians on dating sites. I thought it was clearly obvious within the label that men are not wanted. We are a very promiscuous community but it should not be mistaken for want...
