Are you a MEGA-gay?

09 May 2012 / 3 Comments / in Opinion/by Paul Baker

Even the gays don’t want equal marriage! Apparently.

Nadine Dorries is opposed to what she calls the Metro Elite Gay Activists, who she says are pushing an agenda that nobody really wants. She sums up the tactics of the new homophobia, writes Paul Baker.

“Just who are these Metro Elite Gay Activists – or MEGA-gays as Nadine Dorries claims? I have this picture in my head of a haughty cartoon gay couple called Ivan and Tarquin, living in a swanky loft somewhere near Primrose Hill.”

Confessions of a Sex Addict: Part 1 • Michael Wynne

07 May 2012 / 1 Comment / in Books/by Tim Bennett-Goodman

★★★★★
72 Pages • Kiss and Tell Press • November 21, 2011 [PB]

Tim Bennett-Goodman finds Confessions of a Sex Addict: Part 1 by Michael Wynne to be an honest, philosophical book about a prolific gay male sexual adventurer.

“There is not a shred of reservation or reticence when it comes to minute observations of the sheer physicality of gay male sex – although there may be a tinge of regret, even guilt, about some of his perceived emotional shortcomings or failures of empathy on occasion.”

05 May 2012 / 32 Comments / in Editorial/by Editor

The Confused Voice of the Opposition.

A reader thinks that homosexuals are militants bent on taking over the world!

“The author is obsessed with sex, listing activities that I had to look up. My knowledge has been enriched now that I know what orchiectomy, apotemnophilia and acrotomophilia mean.”

The ‘Gay Marriage’ Excuse

05 May 2012 / 1 Comment / in Editorial/by Editor

The Hunt for a Scapegoat.

The issue of ‘gay marriage’ is being used to blame for Conservative Party losses in the 2012 local elections

“The MP for Devon South West, Gary Streeter, has been a vocal opponent of marriage equality, which he calls “gay marriage”, and he is calling on the Conservative Party to turn further to the right.”

Stop Complaining and Start Thanking Straight People!

02 May 2012 / 31 Comments / in Editorial/by Editor

They made the gays, after all!.

Dr Julia Gasper thinks there is a link between homosexuality and paedophilia and is upset that people are angry at her.

“Dr Gasper said to her LGBT critics, ‘It’s a shame that most of you are completely mad and need to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Just ring up your GP, tell him your symptoms and ask for help’.”

About Polari Magazine

Polari is the leading UK-based LGBT online magazine. Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its look is singularly stylish and equally original.

Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.

Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.

Polari Magazine is all these: it is a gay online magazine; it is a gay and lesbian online magazine; it is an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
