Since their birth in the late 1960's as a working class subcultural response to what was seen as a feminised, bourgeois-hippy parent culture, the skinhead has since held a semi-mythological status amongst the UK's street tribes.

In this updated...

I chose this title to share that being gay and Christian can be a joyous experience as indicated in the Bible, a book that the Protestants have revered for over four hundred years. Contrary to popular opinion, we gay people are not condemned in the Bible. We rejoice from the three single Gay men in the Bible to the two Gay marriages in there and to our very own covenant with God.

GLF-DC's activities included protests, publications and communal living experiments.

Over the last half century or more we have been introduced to a way of thinking that is no longer based upon fact and reason. Young and old alike are
being educated today to believe that there are no absolutes. They are being told that truth (right and wrong) is only in the mind of the individual and
nothing is any longer absolute. There is no longer a standard of right or wrong that is absolute for all people. They are being instructed that our...

After fifty years of progress and the advent of gay marriage, statistics on the well-being of gay men are as grim as ever. Rates of suicide, alcoholism, and drug abuse have not budged. Anxiety, depression, loneliness, and poor health are just as widespread. Studies have shown that gay men who live in urban gay communities actually are worse off, not better.
The utopia promised by gay marriage has not materialized. Gay men seem to have run out of ideas...

En este ensayo el autor señala la falsedad de la noción de "comunidad homosexual", desmentida por la radical heterogeneidad de la relaciones eróticas entre los hombres, del todo idéntica a la que se observa entre los heterosexuales, quienes obviamente tampoco constituyen una comunidad.
El texto delata que las etiquetas "homosexual" o "gay" no son sino expresiones de la homofobia, incluso cuando se las usa permisivamente, pues en la clasificación...

Drawing on fieldwork in the capital city during 2006 and 2007, this account brings ethnography to bear...
