Manchester Pride

Adventures in Britain continue...

David and I are clubbing around London and Manchester this month. Last weekend was a public holiday long weekend (the last one in the UK this year) which saw thousands of queens heading from all parts of the country for Manchester Pride.

The "Village" around Canal Street is closed off for about four blocks and the only way in is with a ($10 money to charity) wrist band. This is a fantastic idea and the three day event combines a sort of fair day with parade and numerous competing parties.

Every bar has its own thing happening and the whole are is alive for party, party and more party.... One highlight for the organisers this year was that the Army came! About 10 uniformed soldiers paraded and manned a recruitment stall. Some 20 RAF colleagues manned a float featuring a plane cockpit - the RAF was the first armed service to join a gay pride festival at last year's event. Gay news for the Queer Australian

Australian Gays Protest Ban On Gay Marriage

(Sydney, Australia) Thousands of same-sex couples demonstrated Sunday in towns and cities across Australia demanding the federal government repeal the ban on gay marriage.

gay marriage Called the National Day of Action commemorated the 2004 passage of the ban by Prime Minister John. Howard's Liberal government. The law defines marriage as between a man and a woman.

In January the government moved to block gays from marrying abroad where same-sex unions are legal.

Some countries require proof from foreign nationals that people seeking to wed are not already married. The government instructed its embassies and consulates in Canada and in Europe to refuse to provide eligibility certificates to people they believe are gay.

Howard also has refused to consider civil unions. After civil partnerships became legal in the UK Howard was asked if his government ever would consider same-sex marriage or civil partnerships. "Never' he replied (story

When Australian Capital Territory passed legislation giving same-sex couples most of the rights of marriage the federal government blocked the bill from being implemented. (story)

More than 1000 people attended Sunday's protest in Sydney. Other demonstrations were held in Melbourne, Canberra, Adelaide, Hobart and nearly a dozen other centers.

Last month the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission began a six month inquiry into the effects of federal law banning same-sex marriage and the refusal of the government to consider civil partnerships.

Robbie Williams On the Dance Floor

This entry was originally published at Techstickle

Robbie Williams On the Dance Floor Beautiful_robbiew_williams1Seeing Madonna return to the dance floor and re-establishing her icon status among her gay fans - not to mention boosting up her record sales worldwide - Robbie Williams is supposedly working on a top secret dance album, targeting at her Madgesty’s fanbase. Rumor has it he is collaborating with producer William ‘Ray Of Light’ Orbit and the Pet Shop Boys. Robbie’s last CD ‘Intensive Care’ had this rock edge that – apparently – was not so appealing for his more camp pop audience. The project is said to be so secret, Robbie decided to work on it using an alias. Considering Madonna’s successful sample of Abba’s ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme,’ maybe Robbie is targeting the same formula. Something from Take That perhaps?Beautiful_robbiew_williams2_1

Cristiano Ronaldo Back with Manchester United.....

Posted in TechStickle Gorgeous on August 10th, 2006


Portuguese winger Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return for Manchester United with two sweetly taken goals and an assist in his first game on English soil since the World Cup.

The tricky midfielder answered his critics in perfect style with his performance and temperament in the pre-season friendly victory over Oxford United, despite heavy booing from the home fans at The Kassam Stadium throughout the Red Devils’ 4-1 win.

United’s management have been unerring in the faith they showed the youngster after the controversy following his exploits at this summer’s World Cup.

And on the evidence of his performance against the Conference outfit on Tuesday night, they were wise to do so.

Ronaldo was all-smiles right from the word go and was a constant torment to the Oxford defence.

He laid on the game’s opening goal for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and scored a strong volleyed return from Louis Saha for the second, and both within the first ten minutes.

Darren Fletcher hit a strong drive to make United’s lead 3-0 after just 16 minutes of the game.

Oxford new boy Rob Duffy grabbed one back for the home side on 27 minutes, with a solid header, but it was Ronaldo’s night and the winger doubled his tally with a curling shot early in the second half.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s men were never really troubled in the game, but he will be pleased with the run out for his World Cup stars and particularly the attitude and potency of his talented starlet.

Superman is NOT Gay but Batwoman Is a Lesbian

This entry was originally published at Techstickle

” border=”0″ alt=”Brandon Routh as Superman” />

How gay is Superman? I mean, the tights, the fashion-forward color palate, the clearly expensive hair cut and necessary care products. Come on. Oh wait, did my saying that make you want to shoot me as much as it made me want to shoot myself?

Since Superman’s homo or not? is that okay to say? really, we need to know how to brand this shit status is of the utmost importance, the LA Times has devoted 1,300 words to this valuable topic. Leaving no potentially GAY stone unturned.

No one at Warner Bros suggests that Superman in “Superman Returns” is, in fact, gay. But, as several entertainment and cultural writers have noted, superheroes hold obvious — and since Queer As Folk, growing — gay appeal.

In addition to being strikingly good-looking, the characters often are portrayed as alienated outsiders, typically leading double lives. In the case of Superman, the puny wimpy schoolboy is transformed into a beefcake character wearning lycra and designer underwear and is seen running around the city in a skin-tight suit.. Hmmmmm.

Superman is a Gay hero
Superman is a Gay hero
Superman is a Gay hero
Superman is a Gay hero

Historically Superman attracts gorgeous women but has struggled with romance. Hmmmmm. And for a career choice, the alter ego is a caring nuturing, save the pussy cat type guy, seeking solace and counselling from his favourtie “uncle”.

So say what you like but for me Superman is gay and gay men like him because of his bod, his suit, his bulge, his sensitivity and because he’s a strong, silent, outsider type.

Warner Bros. declined to comment. But the studio is reaching out to some gay moviegoers. Warners has bought “Superman Returns” advertising time on Logo, a year-old digital cable channel in 20 million homes that calls itself “the channel for Gay America.”

Director Bryan Singer is an out-of-the-closet gay man in Hollywood, Kevin Spacey has long been rumored to be gay, and there’s now rumors that new Superman Brandon Routh is also gay. So in a couple months, Superman Returns might be the biggest gay film of all time.

Lost, Desperate Housewives, Alias, and Commander in Chief

This entry was originally published at Techstickle

Seinfeld fans will note the Teri Hatcher reference in the title of this post, but I just tried out ABC’s full-episode streaming video service which launched a few minutes ago (around 2am this morning), and it is indeed quite nice.


Lost, Desperate Housewives, Alias, and Commander in Chief. They are all available online now if you live in the U.S. — free of charge. This isn’t some B-reel lineup of shows starving for attention. These are ABC’s most popular programs, and now thanks to Disney Brass, the ABC team in Burbank, and the Disney Internet Group in both Seattle and North Hollywood, they are viewable on any computer with a broadband connection. No more PVR-induced BitTorrenting for me… at least with ABC shows.

I have a special regard for this product because it was the last project I worked on before leaving Disney to start Newsvine. My work was in the proof-of-concept phase and the final product doesn’t share a single line of code or element of design, but I still feel an affinity for what has been accomplished here. I think it’s really, really great.

Some items of importance:

* I have one complaint and that is that the video is not available in Australia, yet.

* This service is fully cross-browser and cross-platform. No Internet Explorer/Windows Media mess to worry about. I’m so glad Flash video won out in the end, and although Steve Jobs had nothing to do with it, I’m sure he’s happy that these shows look and work great on Macs.

* This is perhaps the nicest looking Flash video I’ve ever seen. Not only are the video dimensions nice and large, but the picture is extremely clear and not choppy at all. You can tell a lot of work went into the encoding and delivery process. It’s also interesting to note that this is 400k and 700k Flash streaming and not progressive download. Progressive download has been a lot more common than streaming in the past and it’s nice to see such a great example of true broadband Flash streaming in action.

* As great as this service is from a design and engineering standpoint, what’s been accomplished here from a licensing standpoint is just as significant. Disney has wanted to stream television shows for several years now. I remember working on early prototypes a few years ago, but the problem back then was that internet rights had never been negotiated into the deals of the network’s most popular shows. This wasn’t specific to ABC but to all major networks including NBC, Fox, and CBS. Most people think that when a show like Desperate Housewives airs on ABC, the network has full ownership of it. That is not the case. They generally have rights to do certain things with it (viz. air it on TV, sell it on DVD, etc), but only recently have networks begun including internet distribution rights in these deals. It looks like we’re finally starting to see the fruits of these new licensing terms, and it’s a great great thing.

* My only complaint here is the lack of ability to pop the video full screen. I remember talking to Macromedia about this awhile back but can’t remember what their answer was with regards to whether or not they’d ever be able to build this functionality into the Flash plug-in.

So head on over to ABC.com and check this thing out for yourself. I’m sure it’s just the beginning of a lot more video-related initiatives to come at Disney. Big ups to everyone over there and to all the peeps in the Seattle office!

One more thing: I believe this is officially a “trial service” which will run until June 30th. Hopefully it will do well and continue on long after that.

Chi Chi Larue leaves Vivid over policy change to condom optional

This entry was originally published at Techstickle

chi chi larue Our favorite drag queen porn director Chi Chi LaRue has stopped directing straight productions for Vivid because they’ve changed their condom-only policy. “As a person who has been very vocal about condom usage in every aspect of the gay business as well as the straight, and as a person who went to work for Vivid because of their mandatory condom policy, I had to stop directing for them once it became condom-optional.” Larue said, adding, “It’s my policy to use condoms and it would be very hypocritical of me after how vocal I’ve been in this industry in the gay and straight sides to continue to do movies and not use condoms. Vivid’s Howard Levine said, “My hat is off to Chi Chi for his commitment to his beliefs and I wish him the best, but I do wish he would return the dress he borrowed from me for the AVN Awards.” (Thanks Dan-x)

Of course Andrews\’ attorney from Lambda Legal may have had something to do with that too.

Cornyn raises sodomy ruling in day one of Roberts judicial hearing

For those of you who haven\’t been paying attention, Bush is looking to fill a seat on the Supreme Court and his nominee, John Roberts, is now officially in the hot seat. Day one brought the expected wingnut nonsense from a conservative wackjob, this time being Senator John Cornyn. Cornyn, pictured, told Roberts that Lawrence vs. Texas, the 2003 Supreme Court ruling overturning state sodomy laws, was an example of how the court has misinterpreted the Constitution, and while three others warned of creating "new rights" for us unmentionables, it was Senator Edward Kennedy who was the only member of the Judiciary Committee to say "gays," including us in a litany of groups whose rights the Supreme Court should expand, rather than take away.

California marriage bill clears Senate; will Arnie sign?

Handing gay rights advocates a major victory, the California Senate approved legislation Thursday that would legalize same-sex marriages in the nation\’s most populous state. The 21-15 vote made the Senate the first legislative chamber in the country to approve a gay marriage bill. It sets the stage for a showdown in the state Assembly, which narrowly rejected a gay marriage bill in June. Will Gov. Schwarzenegger sign it if it passes? It doesn\’t look good so far.

Court hears gay agent Rod Hall was killed in SM role play

Rod Hall, 53, the openly gay "gentle, caring and mild-mannered" literary agent behind the hit films "The Full Monty" and "Billy Elliot," was stabbed to death by Usman Durrani, 22, after being chained up in manacles in a sado-masochistic sex game. Prosecuting attorney Aftab Jafferjee said that Hall had recently split with his partner of 27 years and had taken to short-term relationships, meeting men apparently more interested in his money. Hall met his role-playing master Durrani online. Durrani has confessed to killing Hall, while denying that he is the murderer.

Iran publicly hangs two young gay men

In Iran, mullahs\’ henchmen publicly hanged two young boys in Mashhad. One was 18 and the other was a juvenile. Before the hanging the boys were each flogged 228 times while the executioners wore masks. The victims were charged with "disrupting public order" among other things and had been imprisoned for the past 14 months, thus they were both underage at the time of the alleged offenses. Exactly 24 hours prior to the start of negotiations between the mullahs representative and the European Union in London, the execution occured. The boys conviction for allegedly raping a 13-year-old boy at knifepoint has been decried by Outrage! as a smokescreen to justify killing gay men.
