The recent adaptation of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights on ITV1 was the best I’ve seen. Coming from West Yorkshire, I know Haworth and the moors very well, and they were stunningly captured in all their grandeur and isolation. Best of all, though, Tom Hardy made a very sexy Heathcliff, with all the erotic, brooding passion to make gay boys go weak at the knees. What struck me most, however, was how the gothic power of this tale may hold a particular relevance for us in the 21st century.
It can’t be stressed too much how shocking Wuthering Heights seemed when the novel was first pubished in 1847, especially when it was discovered that the writer who went under the pen-name of Ellis Bell was not only a woman, but one who lived in a remote country parsonage. What’s more, the novel is full of sex and violence, extreme cruelty, necrophilia, alcoholism, dark powers and revenge; and yet it remains one of the most loved and poetically evocative creations of English Literature.

MarriagEquality - the Irish organisation which campaigns for equality in gay marriage - has launched a video called ‘Sinead’s Hand’. The pro marriage-equality video has become a worldwide hit on YouTube with over 54000 views.
In the video the actor Hugh O’Connor traipses all over Ireland in a smart suit asking people for ‘Sinead’s hand in marriage’. I won’t say any more as I don’t want to spoil the punchline!
Enjoy the video - I did:

Bizarre images are coming out of Afghanistan showing US security forces participating in homoerotic ‘hazing‘, including practices such as simulated fucking, eating and drinking substances off each other’s butt-cracks, nude dancing, nipple biting and pissing on each other.
Absolut vodka, anyone?
Apparently the ritualistic behaviour known as hazing - more akin to twink frat parties than the 30-something bears shown in the photos - has been a regular occurance amongst the private security contractors charged with guarding the US embassy in Afghanistan.
Some of the more extreme homoerotic acts include pissing on each other and eating crips out of buttcracks (lol), and ‘butt-shots’ - drinking what appears to be Absolut vodka from other guys’ buttcracks (lol). Read the rest of this entry »
The ice cream company Ben & Jerry’s have renamed their Chubby Hubby ice cream to Hubby Hubby to celebrate the fact that gay and lesbian couples can now get married in the ice cream maker’s home state of Vermont, USA.
Ben & Jerry’s have always had a lasting commitment to social justice and gay rights, and the ice cream maker wanted to make a tangible expression of support for this important milestone for the local LGBT community. Ben & Jerry’s teamed up with Freedom to Marry in this venture, an organisation that promotes gay and non-gay marriage equality across the world.
