YOUTH
IN NEED!
From
bullying and domestic violence to stereotypes and
HIV: despite legal advances and a gay scene that
well nigh worships youth - young British queers
need all the help they can get! Adrian Gillan delivers
Circa's LGBT Youth Manifesto. 15 Problems: Solved?
1. Homophobia in the home: Coming out
Coming out, not least to those in your own home,
is still fraught with anxiety, especially since
young people are now increasingly bombarded with
the message that it is “safe to come out”
– yet LGBT youth are still disowned by their
families, just because they show a preference
to someone of their own gender.
► Work to change social attitudes
and media portrayals, hopefully reducing “home-ophobia”
as sexuality becomes less of an issue for parents.more
Gay
Icon: Who? When? Where?
GIANNI
VERSACE:
As
a world-famous designer he knew everyone, the photographers
Bruce Weber and Richard Avedon, the designers Karl
Lagerfeld and Jean-Paul Gaultier, his celebrity
fans Sly Stallone and Bruce Springsteen, and notably
Elton John and Diana, Princess of Wales who were
both famously in tears at his funeral after his
murder in July 1997.
Versace had been shot dead on the steps of his Miami
Beach mansion by a deranged young man, Andrew Cunanan,
who was already being hunted by the police for a
series of murders. Cunanan committed suicide using
the same hand gun that had been used to murder of
Gianni Versace. The motive for the murder remained
a mystery. After Gianni Versace's death the business
was taken over by his sister, Donatella. Versace
had a boyfriend of 14 years, Antonio D'Amico.
His over-the-top style which greatly
influenced fashion was his greatest achievement.

SPENCER:THE
SECRETARIAL DIARIES
Blog 57 -Edited Highlights !!! Adrian Gillan
Though
mildly elated by Queen-bashing coup at Monday
morning mews meet, Boss still needs more persuading
to publish Blog in print: “Off-line’s
so old hat! Blogs are for the web!”
Gets me to thinking - all alone again, that evening
- I now have the time and space to perhaps try to
adapt the Blog into a more traditional print novel
format. After all, even Dickens’ works were
originally conceived as serializations – like
a “print soap”. Surely, I’ve all
the elements – from sex and lies, to boys
and babes. A right old gay blockbuster! Get it right,
and I can retire and lead a truly debauched
life! But writing is such a weird, neurotic and
unsociable way to make a living – am I sufficiently
self-obsessed to put up with the strains it will
place? Everyone has a story; but they're not always
the best person to tell it. And do I want to be
a “gay author”? more
