Gay Celebrities and Icons - The Many, Amazing Glasses of Sir Elton John

There are many artists to whom you can apply the adjectives "amazing", "incredible", "always unique" - there are few to whom you can apply those words at one and the same time without being accused of overindulgence in hyperbole. When you apply them to Elton John, all in the same breath, other fans will wait patiently, their faces saying plainly, "Yes...and?...surely you don't mean to stop there?" keep reading →

Some people just seem to be born knowing who they are. For others, the voyage of self-discovery can be difficult, even dangerous.They can be cast aside by friends and family - they are often ostracized and shunned. How do you, as a gay teen or adult tell those you love, whose acceptance and support you most need, that you are gay? Once the words are said, they can never be unsaid, so they must be chosen carefully. keep reading →

Gay Pride London: Pride London and beyond: Be Loud Be Proud

The first Gay Pride UK Rally was held way back in July 1972. In some ways we liked to think we were quite liberal at that time but you have to remember that Homosexual acts between consenting adults had been illegal until 1967.

Castrati - How Were They Chosen?... 8785

Castrati - How Were They Chosen?...

A definition of Castrati from Wikipedia reads "A castrato is a man with a singing voice equivalent to that of a soprano, mezzo-soprano, or contralto voice produced either by castration of the singer before puberty or one who, because of an endocrinological condition, never reaches sexual maturity.” Again "Castrati were rarely referred to as such: in the eighteenth century, the euphemism musico (Pl musici) was much more generally used, though it usually carried derogatory implications; another sy keep reading →
