The Gay Rights Movement

22 Oct 2010 / Comments Off / in Features/by Editor

The Gay Rights Movement – A New BBC Archive

The latest collection on the BBC archive website charts the corporation’s coverage of gay rights issues. There are thirty segments from both radio and television that range from news reports to discussion programmes and documentaries.

It is fun to watch the Conservative MP Ray Mawby out of his depth and spouting off the sort of nonsense that the Daily Mail likes to scare its readership with: the dangers of promoting homosexuality, the need to protect children from homosexual predators, and the idea that if you allow homosexuality you may as well endorse incest.

On the bully

03 Oct 2009 / Comments Off / in Heroes & Villains/by Rebel Scum

On the effects of the bully on children and adults.

The bully never goes away. The schoolyard bully, the celebrity bully, the political bully: from the street to the television their influence in insidious. Rebel Scum looks at what can be done about it.

The bully is a staple in the life of every school kid. And being bullied is an experience everyone goes through in one form or another – from run-ins with the boy who has status issues in the schoolyard through to the mainstream gay press telling you just what it means to be a ‘proper gay’.

The Insurrectionist

04 Jul 2009 / Comments Off / in Interviews/by Christopher Bryant

An interview with Patrick Wolf.

Patrick Wolf talks his new albumThe Bachelor, the conflict with record label, Univeral, and taking on homophobes with the aid of the homeless.

When the internet came along the ‘freak’ they wanted to mock they could mock in a very public, Mediaeval English way. I am a big target for a lot of those type of people.

Wounded

03 Dec 2008 / Comments Off / in Books/by Christopher Bryant

[rating=5]
224 pages • Faber & Faber • August 14th, 2008 [PB]

The exceptional Wounded by the first-rate satirist Percival Everett is a love story about our common humanity more than it is about sexuality.

“I let him kiss me, felt his shivering face soften to mine. I just wanted him warm, warmer. I couldn’t pull away;I was trying to save his life.”

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.
