Same-Sex Marriage Legal in Denmark

07 Jun 2012 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by Editor

A Great Step Forward in the Same-Sex Marriage Debate.

Denmark passes a law that makes marriage gender neutral, and at the same time manages the potential conflict with the Church.

“Denmark was the first country in the world to pass a civil partnerships law back in 1989. There are roughly 4,100 couples in registered partnerships, and under the new law those couples will automatically be afforded the status of marriage.”

This Week In The Same Sex Marriage Debate

12 May 2012 / Comments Off / in Editorial/by Editor

Only Obama Got The Point.

This week in the same sex marriage debate, Obama came out in support, the Conservative government retreated, and North Carolina voted to ban civil unions and same sex marriage.

“The Conservatives played the blame game, and so the same sex marriage rights that had been on the table before last week’s elections were excluded. Politics is being played with rights, and that is deplorable.”

Are you a MEGA-gay?

09 May 2012 / Comments Off / 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.”

A Reader’s Anti-Gay Tirade

05 May 2012 / Comments Off / 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 / Comments Off / 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.”

Tweet Gay London!

09 Apr 2012 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by Editor

Tweet Your Photos!

Stonewall is asking people to tweet photos of buses bearing the slogan ‘Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!’

“This is a great moment in the equal marriage campaign, and it is an important message of support in the same-sex marriage debate.”

The Coolest Pro-Gay Slogan

08 Apr 2012 / Comments Off / in Bulletin Board/by Editor

Some People Are Gay. Get Over It!

In the equal marriage debate, the Stonewall ad campaign on 1000 London buses nails the issue.

“There is so much hot air blown by the opposition to equal marriage that the essential truth – that it is about equal rights – is lost under the defence of marriage rhetoric.”

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.
