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.”

Same-Sex Marriage Storm of the Week

01 Apr 2012 / 6 Comments / in Bulletin Board/by Editor

The Ad That Ran in Country Life.

The Coalition for Marriage, an organisation that resists any attempts to make marriage rights equal, ran an ad in the magazine Country Life, and a virtual storm ensued.

“Country Life ran an ad in which Coalition for Marriage claimed that 70% of people did not want the definition of marriage changed, which is based not on a recognised poll, but on one they had commissioned. And there was a backlash on Facebook and Twitter.”

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.
