Apparently, a series based on Dan Savage has been created and they've cast openly gay actor Noah Galvin.

Serving Tory Cabinet Minister comes out as gay -First time that has ever happened and was unimaginable 20 years ago. A definite sign of progress given the largely positive and uncontroversial reception he received today.

It's nice on a personal level for that particular M.P but it, along with recent history does little to undo the damage that the conservatives have done to LGBT individuals lives.
They've cleverly re-written history as if equal marriage was down to them. I suggest they look at the voting records.. |

While they may have had a bad form on the matter in the past, I would say that we should still be glad that the modern party has moved forward beyond it and were able to legislate for equal marriage. After all they could have still been as they were back then, and either in opposition or power and still managed to opposed and block such a momentous bill.
But that'll move us further into politics.. so ... um... Anyone glad to hear the cast of Will & Grace are reuniting? |

Agreed!

Great article on why feminists should embrace the trans community. Indeed it's noteworthy that last week the house of commons issued a committee report on how to improve lives for trans people. |

Feminists can be the cruelest hypocrites towards trans women. A lot of them celebrate gender fluidity or genderless society yet some can't show that attitude towards their transgender sisters. If you ask me its a sour case of social closure.

My stepfather used to get me collections of Clarkson's newspaper rants as Christmas presents and I cringed on looking at them during a recent spring-clean. They range from the middle class self-pitying (a piece about how embarrassing it is to only have an ordinary Amex at dinner with friends rather than a gold one) to the sort of drivel Littlejohn would be proud of (gay people not being allowed to get married is JUST like Clarkson not being allowed to play for the Premier League because he's bad at football). Think I'll just recycle 'em, it's not really fair of me to pass them onto someone else by taking them to a charity shop ...

I used to read Top Gear magazine in the past, but I haven't bought it in ages - it became repetitive.
Actually I think James May had a far better column. I'm glad he's still doing programmes for the BBC - his series 'Cars for the People' is excellent. |

Ugh, what repugnant drivel, especially that bit about the gays and football comparison. The man's a fool.

'Twas rather good wasn't it?
I loved how they included the original Doody and Frenchie as well. |

^It does seem to be the trend, so I'm sure there will be more.
And there was The Sound of Music on ITV, and BBC4 showed Gypsy over Christmas. Imelda Staunton was amazing in Gypsy. |
