25 Apr 2011 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by David Watters

An Equal Love Case update.

Have Your Say on Equality

15 Apr 2011 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by David Watters

An Equal Love Case update.

David Watters outlines the progress that has been made in seeking marriage equality.

Having listened to stakeholders it is clear from many that there is a desire to move towards equal civil marriage and partnerships. The Government will consult further on how legislation can develop, working with all those who have an interest in this area.

Equal Love case filed to European Court

07 Feb 2011 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by David Watters

The historic filing of a legal application to the European Court of Human Rights.

The UK Equal Love Campaign, coordinated by human rights activist Peter Tatchell, filed a legal application to the European Court of Human Rights.

We are yet to see the full impact of this initiative. This is just the start of what promises to be a ground breaking move towards redefining the nature and purpose of marriage.

Hope and Remembrance • The Candlelit Vigil 2010

26 Oct 2010 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by David Watters

The 2010 Candlelit Vigil to mark International Day against Hate Crime.

A year after the first Candlelit Vigil, David Watters celebrates the work that has been done.

These vigils of both HOPE and REMEMBRANCE unify and galvanise ALL individuals and communities who share a vision to eradicate bigoted behaviour and, through showing support for ALL victims of Hate Crime, publicly assert that together they will no longer be ineffective minorities but instead a powerful and united voice to affect change in London and the wider world.

Driving Ambition

15 Aug 2009 / Comments Off / in Interviews/by David Watters

An Interview with Chris Mason

David Watters talks to Chris Mason about Driving Ambition, a 107-day, 48 State, 16,000-mile road-trip with a mission to examine LGBT inequality and discrimination throughout the United States.

In West Virginia we spoke to an openly gay doctor. He and his partner, and their adopted son, live in a rural town in the middle of West Virginia. This is the last place I‘d expected to find someone willing to talk about being gay.

About Polari Magazine

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.

Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.

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's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
