BBC ‘must stop gay jibes’ THE BBC IS PROMISING to clean up its act and stop anti-gay jibes from being broadcast.

The Director General of the BBC, Mark Thompson, says that all shows must adhere to new strict guidelines to prevent more allegedly homophobic outbursts.

The move comes after a difficult year for presenter Chris Moyles (pic right), who has been accused of aiding ant-gay bullying by mocking gay celebrities such as Will Young.

Earlier this year, Moyles broadcast an alternative version of Will Young’s song Leave Right Now, replacing the original lyrics with: “Oooh Will Young here, mmmmh. I’m here, it’s Will’s birthday and as the years go by I get more very gay. When you

saw me years ago you didn’t know, but now I’m the gayest fella you probably know. mmm I like to wear a silly hat, I get camper by the hour, oh would you look at the muck in here. I’m Will Young and I’m gay.”

“We have to find some middle ground,” said Mr Thompson. But added there were “absolute boundaries” over issues including bullying, abusive behaviour and invasions of privacy.

newsinbrief 3SIXTY launches ‘hot spots’ 3SIXTY magazine is continuing to expand its national and comprehensive gay scene coverage by launching a new ‘Pick of the Week’ venue on its website.

‘Hot Spots’ will highlight a venue, night or event which deserves support and is going the extra mile to provide our readers with a fun night out that week.

In addition to this, the service includes a ‘Party of the Month’ section, where only the best monthly events are considered.

The initiative is the beginning of a huge overhaul of 3SIXTY’s online presence and scene coverage.

Log on to www.3sixtymagazine.com regularly to find out where to party.

huge gay party planned for London LONDON IS BRACING itself for the biggest gay party the UK has ever seen.

A record amount of people are expected to enjoy London Pride this year, topping the 850,000 revellers that were on the streets of the West End at the 2008 party. More than 120 groups and 4,000 people have pre-registered to take part in the parade, with many thousands expected to turn up on the day to join in.

“Our intention is always to make the event bigger and better every year,” says Tom Barber from London Pride. “Our Pride Festival Fortnight has really grown this year and we have a huge range of theatre, art, music, film and comedy for people to enjoy. We have more stages than ever. There

is so much going on this year and of course the sun will shine!”

More than 400 stewards are already signed up to ‘police’ the parade, but organisers are still looking for more.

The event is set to further establish London as one of the most appealing destinations for LGBT people from around the globe, and have a hugely positive effect on gay tourism to the capital.

“Pride brings hundreds of thousands of people together on to the streets of central London to celebrate everything our incredibly diverse community has to offer,” continues Barber. “By putting on a bigger and better event every year more people will come from different parts of the UK and abroad.”

veteran gay campaigner honoured VETERAN GAY RIGHTS activist Peter Tatchell has been named Campaigner of the Year.

Mr Tatchell was awarded the prestigious prize at the Observer Ethical Awards in London in June.

In his acceptance speech, he paid tribute to “the many human rights campaigners worldwide who risk their lives and freedom, in countries like Russia, Iran, Zimbabwe, Iraq and China. It is an honour to work with and support them.

“During the 1980s and 1990s I was often demonised by the popular press, lambasted by the political establishment and targeted for violent attack by neo-Nazis. Undeterred, I carried on campaigning. After more than 40 years of activism for gay rights and for other human rights causes, it is immensely gratifying to receive this accolade. My transition from public enemy number one to campaign award winner has been extraordinary.

“I want to thank everyone who supported me through the difficult, turbulent years.”

Mr Tatchell went on to describe how his sched-

ule in the past year has included arrest at the recent Gay Pride parade in Moscow, support for persecuted ethnic minorities in Iran and Pakistan, publicising the murder of LGBT Iraqis

by Islamist death squads, challenging homophobia in football, assisting asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lobbying against the ban on same-sex marriage and helping secure the acquittal of two Baluch human rights campaigners who were framed on terrorism charges in London.

In further recognition of his work, a blue plaque was placed outside Peter Tatchell’s flat in south London in April. www.tatchellrightsfund.org

LGBT people in Scotland now have further protections against anti-gay hate crime.

The Scottish Parliament has followed legislative changes in England and Wales and passed a bill that seeks to ban hate crime against LGBT people.

“No one in Scotland should have a crime committed against them simply on the basis of sexual orientation,” says Justice Secretary Kenny MacAskill.

“With hate crime, that is exactly what happens. This Bill will improve the way the courts deal with these crimes.”

two men and a fourth baby Two men who made history by becoming the first gay couple to become surrogate fathers are expecting their fourth child.

Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow say they are expecting their new child to be born in February 2010 – and they have a feeling it may even be a twin pregnancy.

“We know we are pregnant but we don’t know how many yet,” Tony, 43, told the Daily Mail. “The baby is due on Valentine’s Day, we didn’t plan it but it is absolutely fantastic. It’s still early days. I’m a great believer in watch this space, take every day as it comes but it’s positive news so far.”

The baby is being carried by a surrogate mother, who lives in America.

The couple are already parents to nine-year-old twins Aspen and Saffron and five-year-old Orlando.

gay tax advice ‘a waste’ A new leaflet advising gay people about tax is being criticised as a waste of money.

The booklet, called Diversity in HMRC, is to be distributed at London Pride next week. It details how to manage tax effectively if a couple is in a civil partnership or how to claim a pension if you’ve changed gender.

But high ranking tax chiefs say the initiative is a waste of resources.

“HMRC is meant to produce simple, clear guidance for everyone, not spend extra money going out of their way to target particular minorities,” said Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the Taxpayers’ Alliance.

pink paper ceases printing ONE OF BRITAINS’S biggest gay publications has ceased printing due to the credit crunch.

The Pink Paper, which is published by one of Europe’s largest gay businesses, MPG, will no longer be available in printed form. It will now only be available online.

“The decision to suspend print and distribution of Pink Paper has been one of the toughest we have had to make in a long, time,” said MPG Media Director Kim Watson. “But in order to ensure that we can continue providing a service to the LGBT community in future we have taken the decision now, rather than when the situation has worsened to a point that we would need to cease Pink Paper all together.”

MPG says that it feels there is growth potential in online ways to access gay news, and they will focus on web-based content only from now on.

“It is very sad that we aren’t able to continue in our print format for the time being,” said Pink Paper Editor Tris Reid-Smith. “However, I hope our readers will stick with us, visit the website often and sign up to our weekly email newsletter.”

The Pink Paper was launched as a weekly LGBT newspaper in 1987. In 2005 MPG acquired Pink Paper after it had gone out of print as a magazine and re-launched it as a fortnightly newspaper.

Community figureheads were quick to react to

the news.

“The loss of the Pink Paper is a big blow to the lesbian and gay community,” said gay human rights campaigner, Peter Tatchell. “”We have lost a major source of news and information. It was an invaluable forum for debate and helped us coordinate campaigns against homophobia.

“Although the online version will remain, it is no substitute for the fortnightly paper, which reached many people who are either not online or who enjoyed the portability of the printed version.”

All staff are reportedly staying in the employment of MPG as the company re-focuses on online initiatives and their other titles.

In October last year MPG announced it was ceasing the printed version of its glossy gay lifestyle magazine AXM, which has also moved online.

google goes gay for Pride

fire killer gets 23 years A jealous lover who murdered his ex-boyfriend by setting him of fire has been jailed for 23 years.

Nadim Kurrimbukus, 25, poured petrol over the head of his ex Charlie Davies and set him alight outside his home in Templedene Avenue, Staines two months after their relationship ended.

The various aggravating features included the degree of planning and the particularly horrific method you chose to attack Charlie Davies,” the Judge at Kingston Crown Court told Kurrimbukus.

“It was the culmination of a vendetta and because of your continued denial there seems to be a total lack of remorse.”

Davies, 23, died in hospital 12 days after the attack, which happened on June 14 2008

christian values?

An anti-gay religious group that organises adoptions is vowing to stop helping children altogether rather than place them with same-sex couples.

The Catholic Children’s Society says is it would rather cease all adoption activity than adhere to legislation which makes it illegal to discriminate against gay couples.

The Sexual Orientation Regulations of 2007 made it illegal if “a person… discriminates against another… on grounds of the sexual orientation”.

In 2003 the Vatican claimed that it was “gravely immoral” to place children with same-sex couples.

THE INTERNET GIANT Google is celebrating gay pride by introducing a rainbow bar graphic to its search page.

Instead of a thin blue dividing line between the search field and the results, Google will show the rainbow flag.

But the move is being criticised as too discreet, as it will only appear when users search for something gay or pride related.

world’s largest drag bingo game BRIGHTON-BASED DRAG QUEEN Miss Jason is to host the biggest gig of her life at this year’s Bourne Free pride festival.

The Big Gay Bingo Game, which will take place on Sunday 12 July, is part of the huge Family Funday and will be free for everyone to take part in, with more than £500 worth of prizes. ”I can’t believe I’ll be handling such big balls,” said an overwhelmed Miss Jason, who is currently busy sewing on sequins to a mid-size two-man tent she picked up half price from Ted’s Camping Gear. “I’ve been practicing my bingo calling skills ever since I found out that this was happening.”

newsinbrief

The gig will be the jewel in the Miss Jason’s Bournemouth bingo crown, and is already earning her the accolade of ‘Honorary Queen of Bourne Free’ by leading community figures.

“We are so excited about having Miss Jason back in Bournemouth,” says Tom Faull from Bourne Free. “She is synonymous with bingo and badass behaviour in Bournemouth after her ten-year stint hosting games at The Branksome pub in the town.

We’re all sure it will be a hysterical afternoon.”

More than 20,000 people are expected to descend on Bournemouth’s town centre over the Bourne Free weekend. www.bournefree.co.uk

Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen is urging gay people in the closet to come out.

The star made the plea in an article in the Times, in which he wrote: “Coming out made me unburdened and more selfconfident. It’s amazing that it’s an experience that people who you’ll never meet, in places in the world you’ll never go to, can relate to. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever done.”

McKellen came out in 1988 when he was 49 years old, and cites this as reason for others to come out earlier.

“I wish that a major sportsman or woman would come out, that would make a huge difference. We need more role models in the public eye, and I know that some of those people are fearful about how people would perceive them if they came out.

“Everyone should feel that they have the right and opportunity to live openly,” he concluded.

stars remember danny la rue A host of stars have attended the funeral of female impersonator Danny La Rue, who died last month aged 81.

Barbara Windsor, Ronnie Corbett, Barry Cryer and Joe Pasquale gathered in London to celebrate the life of a man who Bob Hope once described as “the most glamorous woman in the world”.

Prom queen boy speaks out A gay student from California has won the title of prom queen at his Los Angeles high school. Sergio Garcia, 18, beat eight girls to the coveted crown during Saturday’s ceremony at Fairfax Senior High. “I see myself as a boy with a different personality. I don’t wish to be a girl, I just wish to be myself,” he told the LA Times. “At one time, prom may have been a big popularity contest where the best-looking guy or girl were crowned king and queen.

Things have changed and it’s no longer just about who has the most friends or who wears the coolest clothes.”

India’s only gay mag returns India’s only gay magazine is back on sale after a seven-year break.

Bombay Dost, which is limited to a print run of just 1,500 copies, is now available at major bookstores and will be published twice a year. It was previously only sold by street sellers. The 56-page glossy contains just one shot of Mr Gay India in swimming trunks, alongside book and art reviews and reportage on gay rights issues. It will cost 150 rupees (£2).

Gay teenagers in New Zealand are more likely to kill themselves than their straight peers, according to a new study. The research, carried out by the University of Auckland, discovered that gay people suffer from discrimination and have much less self-esteem than heterosexuals, and are far more likely to self harm. Gay groups are calling the findings “distressing”.

A mountain to climb An attempt to equalise the age of consent for sex between gay males in Gibraltar has failed. A bill aimed at bringing the age of consent to 16, to be in line with law for heterosexuals and lesbians was defeated in Gibraltar’s parliament. But gay groups argue that the bill was incorrectly worded to make it impossible for it to be passed. Activists are pushing for a review.

Obama’s gay party At the time of 3SIXTY going to press The President of the United States, Barack Obama, was due to host an historic gay Pride reception at the White House. The party was scheduled for Monday 29 June in order to mark the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. “[The] event is a chance for the White House to recognise the accomplishments of LGBT Americans,” White House spokesman Shin Inouye commented. LGBT community figureheads and activists are among those invited.

Gay referee ‘unfit’ for football A Turkish football referee sacked due to his sexuality is vowing to fight to get his job back. Halil Ibrahim Dincdag, 33, was allegedly fired after announcing on TV that he was gay. The Turkish Football Federation issued a statement claiming that homosexuals are ‘unfit’ for sporting events. Dincdag says he will take his fight to the European Court of Human Rights.

US census recognises gay couples Gay couples will be counted at the next US census in 2010. The US Census Bureau has confirmed that it is already working on introducing the necessary changes to ensure same-sex unions can be recognised. The last US census was carried out in 2000, when gay couples could not marry in any state. The UK is set to follow suit with a civil partnership option at our next census, in March 2011.

Civil partnerships for Ireland Civil partnerships could become a reality in Ireland before the end of the year.

Irish minister for justice Dermot Ahern has said he will soon seek cabinet approval for a civil partnerships bill.

CALENDARHIGHLIGHTSJULY09

SPARKLE: THE NATIONAL CELEBRATION OF GENDER DIVERSITY Sparkle, Britain’s only national ‘celebration of gender diversity’, takes place in Manchester’s Canal Street on 10-12 July. Now in its fifth year, Sparkle offers live music and shows, films, picnics and meals, and the Tranny of the Year competition, organised by former Alternative Miss London winner Leah True.

Bella Jay, TV Repartee magazine’s editor, joined Sparkle in 2005 and took over as event co-ordinator last year – whilst she has been involved, it has grown from a one-day celebration to a three-day festival weekend, becoming the largest transgender event in the world.

In many ways, Sparkle resembles the Pride events that take place across Britain every summer, but it’s the only one exclusively aimed at transgender people. “Most of the LGBT Pride events as so big that the ‘T’ just gets slightly lost,” says Bella. “So we felt it was time that for one weekend a year the ‘T’ comes first.

“We are still very much LGB friendly, of course, but felt we should also have an event of our own.

“We expect over a thousand visitors, the vast majority of which are TG (male-to-female), from those who cross-dress occasionally to those who live full-time in their chosen gender, or have transitioned.

We have visitors who have never been ‘out’ in public before and we go to special lengths to support them. We are also pleased that lots of wives and partners attend and even a few children and families.”

For the first time, the performers on the Sparkle stage are all

14-19 The Diary.indd 14

transgender, and Saturday’s ‘Sparkle in the Park’ event excites Bella the most. “It’s when that most people are together in one place, and if it’s a nice sunny day there is a lovely ‘village fete’ style atmosphere with trade and info stands and performances.”

Whilst Sparkle seems to cater primarily for T-girls, Bella welcomes trans men – their involvement in the past has been limited. “I am told the name ‘Sparkle’ puts them off, but Sparkle isn’t meant to sound ‘girly’ it’s meant to sound celebratory! It’s a celebration of transgender, and what better way to celebrate than to sparkle with pride in the person you really are!”

Sparkle 2009 begins at the Rembrandt pub on Friday 10 July, with a consultant from Inner Beauty giving make-up and style tips, and Greater Manchester Police’s LGBT Liaison Officer advising on personal safety. The meet welcomes trans men and women (particularly those arriving in male mode) and their friends. Then there is a Chinese banquet and a party at the Place Hotel.

On Saturday, there are workshops and a film festival, in the Shang Hi restaurant’s function room, with self-defence and styling lessons.

Sparkle in the Park continues throughout the day, with stands, volleyball and performances from Samantha Earmes, Gloria, Natalie B and Debbie Roberts. Then tvchix.com hosts a party at New York New York, after a meal at The Rembrandt. Brighton’s Transister stages an event, at Manto, whilst Transliving take over Taurus Bar. On Sunday, there is lunch, a church service and a closing meal.

GAY SCHOOL MUSICAL

Six footer John Jack (pic left) has plenty of Chekhov and Shakespeare on his CV as well as pantomime appearances in Aladdin and A Christmas Carol. This month, he’s appearing in the intriguingly titled Gay School Musical. ‘It’s Grease meets High School Musical, but in a sort of crap, less glossy, British comprehensive school sort of way,’ Jon Bradfield, cowriter of the book and lyrics and the music, explains. ‘The humour is very silly but actually when we get to the romantic number at the end, people do get quite moved.”

Graeme Smith models the show’s placard

A new television programme premieres to coincide with London Pride and already has scheduled repeats after Brighton and Manchester Prides. 3SIXTY had a sneak preview. reckon I’m a pretty normal bloke, whatever that means,” explains Graeme Smith. “I’m twenty-six, was born in Liverpool and now live in a terraced house in North-West London. I work as a TV presenter and I suppose that’s not so normal really.

But, anyway, apart from that I lead a pretty regular life. I try to keep fit. I enjoy and a few drinks at the weekend. I’ve got a cat and I’ve got a boyfriend called Darren…”

Current TV’s cutest presenter, Graeme, is introducing himself as the thematic thread who runs through This is Gonna Sound a Bit Gay, a magazine format documentary which will be shown on Sky 183 and Virgin 155 to coincide with London Pride and which will then be repeated on the Mondays following both Brighton and Manchester Prides.

Six months in the making, the programme consists of short films made by viewers and a linking commentary focusing on Graeme’s life which ties the individual items together.

“This is Gonna Sound a Bit Gay will be looking at the modern gay and lesbian identity,” Graeme points out, “and exploring what being gay and lesbian means at the beginning of the twenty-first century.”

Amongst the items featured in the programme are ‘Marina and her Moms’ – about seventeen-year-old Marino Gatto who lives in San Carlos, California with her two mothers whose lesbian relationship is complicated by the fact that the non-biological partner is not a US resident.

“I

‘Ex-Gay’ is a disturbing short film about Love in Action, one of those tiresome Christian groups who believe they can turn gay men and lesbians into happily straight men and women. “I woke up one day as if I’d come out of a coma,” Peterson Toscano, who experienced – but rejected – the process explains.

“We’re exploring what being gay and lesbian means at the beginning of the twenty-first century ... And along the way, I’ll be doing some uncomfortable things and getting put in some difficult situations!”

‘Marina and her Moms’ and ‘Ex-Gay’ are from American filmmakers and rather less sparky than two quirkily British entrants.

‘Small Town Boy’ is about fifteen-year-old David Birch who is determined to surmount the obstacles and hostility to (triumphantly) become the first ever gay male alternative carnival queen in Axbridge, the small town of the title.

‘Sex and Love on Gaydar’ is a humourous take on those looking for love on the internet. “People take this far too seriously,” George, a policeman who appears

to be having … well, a gay old time on Gaydar opines.

And the film’s director Maxx Ginnene stresses that she’s “really glad that there are another five million people staring at their computer monitors and staving off respectability for the gays…”

This is Gonna Sound a Bit Gay also showcases an animation about the history of gay life “from the Greeks and the Romans to Gay Liberation,” Graeme points out.

And on a more serious side, there’s a hard-hitting feature about gay exiles seeking asylum in this country.

“I’ll also be going on a personal journey to explore what my sexuality means to me and see how much I’m defined by it,” Graeme continues. “And along the way, I’ll be doing some uncomfortable things and getting put in some difficult situations.”

This is Gonna Sound a Bit Gay will be screened on Sky 183 and Virgin 155 on Thursday 2 July at 10pm and repeated at the same time on: Monday 6 July at 10pm – at the end of London Pride weekend Monday 13 July at 10pm Monday 3 of August at 10pm - at the end of Brighton Pride weekend Monday 31 August at 10pm - at the end of Manchester Pride weekend.

THE ROAD TO

N O I T I S N TRA T re, she ng full time as a woman. He livi n ga be le, ma rn bo s, ue In May 2009, Juliet Jacq sexual’. a life working towards ‘trans of s nth mo o tw t firs the nts recou

he three things I feared most: my colleagues, my friends and my family. That’s not how it should be, is it? But changing gender turns the world upside down. First your world, then those of people around you, and the closer they are, the more your transition shakes them.

I thought telling my friends would be easiest. After four nightmarish school years, I came out as ‘a cross-dresser’ at college, and have shared shifting transgender identities with them, over the last decade, slowly working towards ‘transsexual’. At least, that’s how I saw it.

I’m 27, and I moved to Brighton from Manchester six years ago. All the close friends I’ve made since, and my college friends from Horsham who’ve moved here too, had seen me as Juliet many times. Seen is crucial: even if they knew about my female persona, they’d seen me as Juliet only occasionally these last five years, at most.

This was especially true of my oldest friends. The fear that became bound with my ‘cross-dressing’ in my teens, when I most feared parental discovery, meant that for years, I would only go en femme to ‘safe’ LGBT venues. Many of my friends and I were united by disdain for mainstream culture, especially pop music. Most gay clubs bored us, but unlike me, my friends had nothing invested, physically or intellectually, in finding alt-queer spaces.

For years, occasionally cross-dressing in LGBT venues satisfied me. Then, working in an oppressive office, I broke down, and spent months in counselling. After that, for two years, I considered myself inherently female whilst remaining outwardly male, avoiding the social and physical upheaval of transitioning. But gradually, the schism between how I perceived myself and how the world treated me wore me down. Finally, I realised it was time to shed my male skin.

There is no right way to tell anyone you’re changing gender. I told some friends face-to-face (female friends, with whom I’d shared my gender trouble) before seeing my GP and being referred to a psychiatrist - the first step towards transitioning via the NHS. I was told there was a four-month waiting list for this appointment. Then a letter arrived: it would be in two weeks. I made a decision. I would live as a woman

“In a pub, a guy got up and asked: “Are you a bird or a bloke?” Then he squeezed the contents of my bra and left. I sat down, simultaneously violated and relieved.”

– except at work, as my temporary contract with the NHS expired in two weeks.

I sent an email to everyone I see socially (I wanted them to find out from me, rather than from someone else, or seeing me in the street). I covered every issue I thought they might have, before my finger hovered over the mouse button. Heavy-hearted, I pressed Send. Then I prepared to go into town, to buy essentials for my new role. I picked an outfit: I had to make it clear that I was presenting as female, without

conspicuously over-dressing. I settled on a black and white T-shirt, a knee-length skirt, black tights and flat shoes, and ventured out.

The more ‘everyday’ my action, the more apprehension I felt about it. Stepping outside for the first time in your new role is one of the scariest parts of the process – I’d often been clubbing in women’s clothing, but this was different. The stakes were far higher: I’d denied myself the ‘off’ switch that previously comforted me whenever presenting as female came with difficulties. I knew, however, that I was doing the right thing.

For a trans woman, I’m lucky: my frame is slight, I’m only 5’7” and I still have my hair. I’m also lucky to live in Brighton, a tolerant, private city; both meant that the 30-minute walk into town passed without anyone giving me a second look (as far as I noticed).

The first space I entered was transgender-specific: Lacies in Hove. Through every step of my journey from ‘cross-dresser’ to ‘transsexual’, Lacies has featured, providing information about the male-tofemale community, catering for anyone within it. I realised that transitioning would cost serious money as I bought my first item: breast forms, as my own bust won’t grow until at least three months on hormones, which won’t be prescribed until I’ve been to the Charing Cross gender identity clinic – there’s a six-month waiting list. They cost £110, but each step nearer convincing femininity was worth it.

I wanted food. I stepped into the Co-op, tense.

What if they refused to serve me, or if a customer hassled me? Would transphobia (or my internalised transphobia) stop me buying groceries? No: I bought a banana, easily, and confidently got the bus home, unburdened.

Already, I was feeling more secure. Friends replied to my email: all supportive, many praising my ‘bravery’, although some apologised in advance for getting my name wrong. My male friends had more anxieties than my female ones – some selfish, some not. What I’d under-estimated, from my transgender position, was the tribal nature of gender – most people feel that they belong to one ‘side’, it seemed: my female friends were delighted that I was ‘joining’ them; my male friends felt I was ‘leaving’ them.

Once I met them, their anxieties dissipated. The immediate changes were superficial: fundamentally, I was the same person. In a pub, I was reminded of

how people I didn’t know might respond. Two men stared at me: one got up and asked: “Are you a bird or a bloke?”

How to respond? Demand a third option? Say “woman” in a clearly male voice? (Speech therapy to change this would make me feel like I’m putting on an act.) I hesitated, then grudgingly said “bloke”, fearing the consequences.

“I thought so,” he said. “Nice tits!” Then he squeezed the contents of my bra and left. I sat down, simultaneously violated and relieved.

Two days later, I went to the Clare Project – Brighton and Hove’s transgender support group. I was feeling

I went home, slightly reassured. The next day, I returned to work – in male mode. I knew that the Gender Recognition Act prevented employers from sacking transitioning staff, but as a temp, I could soon be unemployed, and nothing stops employers passing over transsexuals, as long as that’s not explicitly stated.

I told my manager, who was helping me find another job within the NHS Primary Care Trust.

She told me to consult Human Resources. I did.

The HR manager and myself decided that if I got another job, I would email everyone I knew explaining my transition not just between departments, but

and friends, my paid and creative work, my involvement with the transgender community, my psychiatric history, my alcohol or drug use and my sexuality.

My fears were unfounded: he scheduled a second appointment, telling me that he would recommend me for full gender reassignment.

To celebrate, I went shopping with a friend. Once we were done, I discarded the (awful) coat and bag I had bought years ago, symbolising my move from ‘cross-dresser’ to ‘trans woman’. Finally, I felt like the woman I’d always wanted to be.

I returned to work the next day, and arranged a new temporary role. I told my new boss that I was

ived e rc e p I w o h n e e tw e b m is h “gradually, the scthe world treated me wore me myself and how was time to shed my male skin” down. I realised it less secure: a shop had refused to serve me, my oldest friends hadn’t returned my email, and I was worrying about my family. I saw the counsellor: she told me to give my friends time, to expect some discrimination, and to bide my time with my family – I would find the right moment, and she would provide support for both me and them if necessary.

“What if the psychiatrist rules me unfit to transition?”

I asked.

“He won’t. There’s a raft of psychiatrists to go through – this referral just checks for any obvious mental health problems. Explain your gender dysphoria as you did to me and you’ll be fine.”

between genders. For now, though, I contemplated unemployment – and starting another job, in an unknown situation. I’d rather stay where I was: I knew it was a welcoming environment, and there was another trans woman on my floor – who seemed perfectly happy there.

My psychiatric assessment was the next day. I nervously entered Hove Polyclinic and filled out a preliminary questionnaire, measuring my depression and anxiety. I’ve struggled with these before, but my scores were low. I discussed my lifelong gender dysphoria with the psychiatrist, going back to early childhood, and he asked about my family

transitioning: no issue, she said. I thought how fortunate I was: for most trans people, the transition is far harder. The other trans woman at work told me she lost everything when she transitioned: her job and her family. It was tragic: I thanked goodness that I was a generation younger, and had always been able to live and work in a relatively accommodating place.

So I am now living and working as a woman, and getting involved with various transgender groups in Brighton and Hove. I know how lucky I am, to be able to be exactly who I want to be.

Now I just have to tell my family ... • *J@OKP D8>8Q@E< CK; s ).

max roeg

DreamBoy Straight actor Max Roeg has just finished making his first gay-themed film, Dream Boy. “It’s just natural, true, grass-roots human emotion,” he tells Josh Winning.

“E

normous! Bigger than it usually is!” laughs Maximillion Roeg. He’s talking, of course, about the size of his head when it’s projected up onto a vast cinema screen canvas. What did you think he was talking about?

The next in line to an impressive Atlantic-spanning movie dynasty, Max is the 23-year-old son of legendary Brit director Nicholas Roeg (Don’t Look Now, The Witches) and American actress Theresa Russell. Growing up immersed in a world of camera equipment, extravagant costumes and make-believe, it was almost a given that Max would follow his parents into show business. “I like to think I have more control over my destiny than that,” the actor chuckles, exposing twin rows of perfect white teeth.

“It was definitely a huge influence from a very early age, watching movies and premieres.”

A stream of Hollywood A-listers at the dinner table of his youth can’t have hurt. “I never really knew who they were, though,” Max shrugs. “It was just like ‘Ollie Reed’s coming over’, or David Bowie or Angelica Huston.

I didn’t really know until recently. They weren’t Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I didn’t know who they were.”

The name-dropping could be deemed desperate if it weren’t for Max’s easy, blokey candour. Slightly posh, with gorgeous, floppy dark blonde hair and a Cheshire cat grin, he sits chatting in the BFI’s plush green room with youthful enthusiasm. The tiniest bit timid, he possesses a refreshing, pre-Hollywood meat grinder lack of airs and graces as he promotes his second feature film to date, Dream Boy, an adaptation of Jim Grimsley’s book of the same name. “Working on a movie set is not really

glamorous,” the actor smiles. “And then this is actually quite nice.”

Published in 1995, Grimsley’s Dream Boy is set in the deep south of ‘70s America, where prejudices jostle against each other, and religious fanaticism is rampant.

Into this hotbed of clashing, crushing morality comes Nathan (Stephan Bender, who previously appeared in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-him cameo as young Clark Kent in Superman Returns). A quiet, reserved teenager, Nathan finds himself drawn to the popular boy next door, Roy (Max Roeg), who drives the school bus every day. But as a tentative romance stirs between the bus seats, Roy begins to suspect that Nathan is hiding a dark secret.

After meeting with director James Bolton, whose past works include 2000’s similarly gay-teen-themed Eban and Charley, Max was the first actor to commit to Dream Boy. “I hadn’t really seen many things with a gay theme,” Max says, “but I really sort of was quite intrigued by the genre, and the different ways in which people can execute a storyline like that.”

Given a list of films to watch by his director, Max hopped down to his local video shop and grabbed the likes of Mysterious Skin, Boys Don’t Cry, My Own Private Idaho, even Badlands. Happy viewing, then! “They’re all quite dark, it’s quite sad,” Max acknowledges.

“And it’s something that is sort of a bit tough because it’s such a sensitive subject matter for people, because they’ve been through so much oppression and persecution. Even today it’s not really okay in a lot of places and in a lot of circles.”

When we suggest that the term ‘gay movie’ is quite a troubling definition, Max is quick to agree.

“This movie, it’s essentially... I read it not as a gay movie, but as a love story. And the two characters in it are not fighting adversity, they’re just sort of expressing their emotions and finally being able to be comfortable with themselves, with each other. And that’s a very important thing with ‘gay’ movies, is that people tend to pigeon hole them in a very specific way – it’s a ‘queer movie’ or it’s a certain thing. But anyone can relate to a forbidden love

tale. Anything that shows just natural, true, grass-roots human emotion is all it’s about. The fact that it’s gay or not gay is fairly superfluous.”

Still, as a straight young actor (his LA girlfriend is lounged reading at the other end of the sofa while we chat), did Max not find any of the revealing, intimate scenes difficult? “To be honest, with the romantic scenes I had to put my own inhibitions on the back burner because my co-star was 17 at the time,” Max reveals.

“Stephan’s from a small town, St Louis, and even though it’s not the south, they still hold the same inhibitions and prejudices. That was a huge hurdle for him to get over.

So I found myself trying to help him to open up. But I think he did a really wonderful job in his performance. I didn’t have a problem with the intimacy; I’ll sacrifice any sort of personal vendetta if I believe in a project.” On the evidence of Dream Boy, a beautiful, delicate drama, we can’t wait to see what Max does next.

Dream Boy is out on Monday 6 July on Pecadillo www.peccadillopictures.com *J@OKP D8>8Q@E< CK; s *(

IN YER FACE by by Ismael Alvarez (Bruno Gmunder, £18.95) There’s a quotation by Andy Warhol at the back of Ismael Alvaraez’s In Yer Face (‘An artist is someone who produces things that people don’t need but that he – for some reason – thinks it would be a good idea to give them’).

Presumably it’s there to give the book some kind of (spurious) respectability.

However, the artistic merits of this collection of cartoonish paintings of delec-

table young men (mostly sporting Tom of Finland-esque erections) in leisure situations is dubious. Like the heroine of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Alvarez’s men are truly scrumptious, but, by their very nature, beyond fantasy. And the book’s so ridiculously over-priced that it’s difficult to imagine anyone buying it.

For thirty years the distinctive photographs (portraits, production shots and surreal studies) by Angus McBean were the public face of West End theatre. Peter Burton is enthralled by a new book, which brings together the best of them.

Claire Luce as Cleopatra 1941 and a trial in 1942 (he was charged with three counts of buggery and gross indecency) at which he was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment with hard labour (he served a two-and-a-half years).

After his release from prison, McBean return to photography, gradually re-establishing himself as the West End’s premier photographer – a position he retained until well into the 1960s. His theatre photography was augmented by shots for album sleeves for such artistes as The Beatles and Cliff Richard and, more latterly, fashion shots.

McBean’s final years were spent in Suffolk where he died in 1990, aged eighty-six and one day.

Robert Helpmann as Hamlet y kind of theatre concerns itself with kings and queens, princesses sleeping or otherwise in ivory towers, or in enchanted castles with satins, furs and cloth of gold,’ Angus McBean once explained. ‘There must be huge splashes of colour, wild music, beautiful people, monstrous Calibans; magic, imagination, illusions, fairies, oceans of blood and wine, and always happy endings…’

Famous for both his intensely dramatic and his extraordinary surreal portraits of theatrical luminaries (Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, John Gielgud, Richard Burton, Ivor Novello, Noel Coward), Angus McBean

He created fantastic masks and costumes for such events as the Old Vic Balls and these led to his being asked to execute designs for Richard of Bordeaux and masks for the dramatisation of Max Beerbohm’s The Happy Hypocrite- starring fellow Welshman Ivor Novello, who commissioned him to take the production photographs –and the young Vivien Leigh. Thereafter McBean’s photographic work was in constant demand and was to remain so for the next thirty years.

At the outbreak of World War II, McBean evacuated himself to Bath, where he kept a riotous open house for servicemen and teenagers. This led to his arrest in

An elegant and beautifully presented book, The Photographs of Angus McBean: From the Stage to the Surreal by Frederic Woodbridge Wilson (Thames & Hudson, £22.50) is an enthralling reminder of the dramatic power and the comic possibilities McBean utilised in his stunning black and white photographs to capture the very essence of performer and performance.

BRIGHTON

PRIDE

THE PARTIES

Brighton Pride is one of the largest free gay festivals in Europe. Every year it gets bigger, with more and more people wanting to be a part of the action. And with more people come more promoters and more parties.

July is when gay girls and boys across the UK begin to wonder what’s on and where to go over the main Brighton Pride weekend, this year on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2

36-47 Feature 6.indd 37

August.

So, we thought we’d help you make an informed choice about where to spend your cash and where the biggest parties are happening. After all, Brighton Pride only happens once a year (apart from Winter Pride, but that’s a whole different story).

What’s clear from looking over the events happening this year is that almost everybody is going at

full speed to bring the best of UK nightlife to Brighton to help us all celebrate our diversity and sexuality, on the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall riots in New York City that kick started the whole pride thing around the world.

So, let’s go forth and have fun, celebrate together, and also remember those who fought so bravely for the freedoms that we enjoy today.

See you on the dancefloor!

PAUL KEMP WILD FRUIT * SUNDAY SUNDAE

*

CASH QUEEN

* REBEL

Paul Kemp has been at the helm of Brighton clubbing institution Wild Fruit for almost seventeen years, bringing cutting edge dance music and innovative nights to the south coast - and beyond.

Brighton Pride has grown hugely in the last few years, to become one of the biggest free festivals in Europe. What is hardest part of being involved in organising such a mammoth event?

To be honest it’s hard work all year long - not just by us but also by the police, the council and the Pride board who all do a great job and work really hard. There are many meetings throughout the year and several site visits to the park. In fact there is so much involved with Pride that I don’t know where I’d begin to start telling you about it all, it can be exhausting but it’s ultimately a very rewarding project to work on.

What makes Brighton Pride so special for you?

We’ve been involved with Pride since day one. In fact I’ve just dug out a video from the first dance tent on the level (1993?), it’s really moved on since then! What’s special, for me, is that great feeling you get from seeing the whole community come together and seeing all our friends visit from all over the UK. Brighton really shows off what a unique and diverse place it is at Pride, which really is something to be really proud of This year, you have the licence for the bars at Pride. Which brands/venues can we expect to see at Preston Park this year and what are they offering?

We do have the franchise for organising the bars, but we do sub-let almost 50% of them to local businesses. We work very closely with Pride (who have the ultimate and final say) to create as much diversity as possible on the park and provide something for everyone. New to the park this year will be the lovely guys from Vavoom who’ll have a sexy beach party theme to their tent. The girls tent ‘Girl Action’ is being organised by Rebecca from Ghetto and is promising an action packed day of entertainment for the women in the park.

The ‘Calabash’ tent (people of colour) is always really popular as is the Bears and men’s tent. Pop and Indie lovers will be pleased to know that the Popstars tent is back on the park too.

The Wild Fruit Big Top is one of the highlights of the Pride weekend for many of the thousands who turn up. What have you programmed to make this year memorable?

Luckily we are inundated with requests from DJs and PAs who really want to play the big top tent, but unfortunately we just don’t have enough hours to give everyone a slot. We try to have a good mix of local and London guests. This year is going to be fantastic - we have a couple of surprises in store including a DJ set from Boy George! He’ll be playing quite early on so make sure you get to the tent early so as not to miss him. Despite the damned credit crunch and Pride being a free event we are spending even more on production for the tent this year. It’s going to be amazing!

How do you choose which nights are invited down to Brighton?

Gay nightlife has evolved dramatically since the Stonewall riots forty years ago in NYC that kicked off gay pride celebrations – when did you first go gay clubbing, what happened, and what was your reaction to it?

I started running my own ‘New wave’ type club when I was 17. It was packed with transvestites and gays as well as punks, goths and skinheads; I was surrounded by gay clubbers from a young age without really realising it so I never had the dramatic ‘first time’ experience of gay clubbing, it was just a natural progression for me.

We invite quality brands that really do have something different to offer. We are keenly aware that the Pride audience is a very diverse crowd and we try to make sure there is something that’ll appeal to everyone - hence having the fabulous Trannyshack in town for all the glamour-pusses as well as Patrick Lilley (Work) bringing down PYT, which is R&B and Hip Hop. Competition for the best club night on Pride weekend seems to be getting fiercer year on year. What tricks do you have up your sleeve to make sure Wild Fruit on Sunday is the hottest ticket around?

I’m not so much interested in competition as I am in putting on the very best party we can. We’ll be pulling out all the stops for Wild Fruit on Sunday. Everyone knows that we put in loads of extra production for this date to make sure it is very special indeed; it’ll be a full on Wild Fruit extravaganza with three fantastic rooms to party in. We are thrilled to have our old friends The Freemasons back who have played Wild Fruit many times over the years and are now two of the biggest producers/DJs in the world.

When/where did you first go to a gay pride celebration and what was it like?

It was a very long time ago, a London Pride, either at Jubilee gardens on the South Bank or on Kennington Park I can’t really remember which. I do remember that it was a far more politically motivated affair than Pride celebrations are today.

What does gay pride mean to you?

I guess nowadays Pride means a celebration of diversity to me and although we have the luxury of Pride not being a solely politically motivated festival I believe that there are many political issues that Pride can address. It’s a good time to remember those LGBT people all over the world who are far less fortunate and are repressed in their own countries, they can’t enjoy the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted these days. It is also a good time to reflect on those who have made sacrifices, worked so hard and stuck their necks out so that we can enjoy our freedoms and things like being able to express ourselves, party and join with the whole of society in something as wonderful as Pride.

I’m proud to be gay because…

I’m proud to be gay because I cannot think of any good reason why I shouldn’t be!

DUSTY O * TRANNYSHACK

*

Dusty O is one of London’s most well-known gender benders, with gigs and nights at an enormous amount of venues in the capital. This year, she’s bringing her Trannyshack night to Brighton Pride...

When did you first go gay clubbing, what happened, and what was your reaction to it?

I started clubbing in the early 80s and was heavily into the alternative and New Romantic style clubs. The first gay club I ever went to was a men-only members club in Birmingham. It was full of clones and leather queens. I didn’t fit in at all. In those days there was not much choice. Now there is something for everyone. I always felt more at home in mixed venues to be honest. I still do. I like women and I like straight people as long as they show gay people the same respect we show them. I think it’s important to keep a balance though. If it’s aimed at the gay market then it should be as described. I hate the trendy clubs that bill themselves as polysexual when in reality we are just tokens. We have to maintain the majority in our own spaces or they no longer remain ‘our’ places.

Trannyshack is famous for outrageous costumes and pushing the boundaries of gender. What can we expect from your night in Brighton?

It’s all about “fun” at Trannyshack. We leave attitude at the door.

Anything goes. Dress how you want. Love who you want. Everyone is included. It’s the reason we have lasted so long and become so well known. Great atmosphere, great music - it’s about being eclectic and being yourself, whatever that is!

When did you first go to a gay pride celebration and what was it like?

Years ago in Brum they had a sort of pride event called “Five days of fun in Gay Brum” if i remember correctly. It wasn’t much fun and the main things that sticks in my mind was a “handbag throwing” competition in the car park of a pub! Not glam. When I moved to London in 1990 it all became huge with 200,000 people on the streets. Those days were brilliant. I think it’s gaining a bit more momentum here now again thank god. Brighton is still the best free pride though. Without doubt.

What does gay pride mean to you?

It means fun but it’s also a political statement which is equally important. It’s about saying “look we are here and there are fucking loads of us, so get used to it cos we aint going away”.

What makes Brighton Pride so special?

It’s so fantastic because it’s a holiday resort and is geared up to fun. It has tons of gay venues and a big resident gay population. It’s fab that it’s only an hour’s train ride from London so all the queens from here can make it down. I adore it.

The struggle for gay equality continues. What should gay people be fighting for (if anything)?

For acceptance, to end gay bashing, to have equal rights in this country and in other countries. We are lucky here compared to places like Russia and certain parts of the USA and Islamic states where our mere existance is punishable by death. We have a long way to go.

I’m proud to be gay because…

Because thats the only way I can be and I actually like myself and enjoy being that way! Gay is good!

OLIVER M MATINEE *

German-born Oliver M has played at club across Europe, including Amnesia and Privilege in Ibiza, Matinee Group in Barcelona and Roxy in Amsterdam. Now a London boy, he brings the hugely successful Matinee night to Brighton Pride…

Matinee has proven a massive success in London, bringing a Balearic vibe to the UK and paving the way for other Ibiza promoters to follow suit. How do you think it will fit in with Brighton clubbers?

We at Matinee London have managed to get a massive fan base with clubbers all over the UK and especially with the Brighton massive. Brighton’s ambience is very close to Ibiza due to the cosmopolitan atmosphere and of course because of the beach and sea.

Why is Matinee so popular in London?

When we started Matinee in London the gay scene was stagnant and boring. We wanted to rejuvenate the scene which we did and now we got our concept copied by many Londoner “promoters” which shows that we lead the way. I decided to bring Matinee to Brighton after meeting Paul Kemp from Wild Fruit. We got on straight away and we are looking forward to biggest collaboration of the Brighton Pride weekend.

Competition for the best club night on Pride weekend seems to be getting fiercer year on year. What are you doing to make sure Matinee is the hottest ticket around?

I think the combination of Brighton’s best club promoter and club night, Wild Fruit, and London most successful promotions group, Evolved Events, and monthly event will ensure that it will be a huge winner.

If it’s a huge hit what plans do you have to make Matinee in Brighton a regular event?

If it goes well Paul and myself for sure we will run more Matinee events in Brighton which we are looking forward to that too.

When/where did you first go to a gay pride celebration and what was it like?

I went to my first gay pride Berlin when I was 20. It was great fun and I loved the fact that you could express yourself fully and show to the whole world that you are gay and proud of it.

What does gay pride mean to you?

Gay Pride is to me a big celebration of what we are and of-course to make a political statement to the world we live in.

What makes Brighton Pride so special?

Everything: the City, the people, the atmosphere. I think everyone in Brighton can be proud to live in such a great city.

I’m proud to be gay because…

I love my man

MARK WILLIAMS * TRADE * Trade has been one of the most prestigious and perfect gay clubbing experiences for years, and is now kicking off regularly at Ministry of Sound, London. Want to try Trade in Brighton? Now’s your chance...

Trade is a name synonymous with all-night clubbing and hordes of sweaty, topless men. Is this what we should expect at Kinky Trade this Brighton Pride?

I think anyone who has been along to Trade would agree with that description! And yes, this year we have decided to bring Kinky Trade to Brighton Pride. Kinky Trade has been a massive success in London before and was also the concept we used for several years at both Privilege and Amnesia in Ibiza. It will be a lot racier than a normal Trade and the Cuckoo Club. Our own sexed-up hot dancers will be adding to the sexually charged atmosphere and a lot of people seem to be using the fact it’s a “Kinky Trade” to dress up accordingly, so some very interesting outfits will no doubt be on display too.

What is it about Trade events that people can’t get enough of?

I’d like to think that we always try and provide something slightly different from the norm. All of our resident DJs are very carefully selected - most of them being producers in their own right, underground music and musical progression is what Trade is famous

for. Also… one of Laurence’s obsessions is how the club looks our visual artist Trademark provides us with unique imagery to use in the venues.

What are you doing to make Trade the hottest ticket around at this year’s Brighton Pride?

With Trade opening at 8am this year, you can have breakfast before heading down for some sleazy Trade fun.

When did you first go gay clubbing, what happened, and what was your reaction to it?

The first gay club I went was Heaven in London about eight years ago on a Saturday night and back then Heaven was very different to how it is now. The main floor was all about sexy men with their tops off... I’d never experienced anything like that before. After that I was hooked on London; me and my friend Tim used to make a twice weekly trip into London alternating (dare I say it) between GA-Y and Heaven. Then wait until the first train and arrive back just in time to go to work ... That was until I found a much naughtier

side of clubbing that stayed open a whole lot later!

What does gay pride mean to you?

I guess there are two sides to pride, on one hand it’s a fantastic excuse for a massive party, chance to meet up with those friends you haven’t seen since last pride! And to bump into those vile ex’s that you wish you hadn’t! On the other hand there is a serious message regards the rights of homosexuals and how they have been and are persecuted.

What makes Brighton Pride so special?

Brighton Pride has always been one of my favourites, kind of how London used to be. I love the festival atmosphere and the way that for one weekend Brighton just goes 110% gay and this is so positively received by the local community.

I’m proud to be gay because…

We’re so much more fun than the hetties... and know how to throw a good party! See you all at Trade!!!

STEVE ELLIOTT * SALVATION * As the man behind the massively successful Salvation London, Steve Elliott has a reputation for offering high quality, glamorous nights. How are they going to go down by the sea at Brighton Pride?

Why is Salvation so popular in London and indeed across the world? And why are you bringing it to Brighton?

Salvation has always been known for bringing fresh and exciting elements to clubbing so you can always expect the unexpected at Salvation. Where ever we are in the world, we always try to make the party unique to anything else they have seen. We had many requests from salvation regulars & friends asking us to come to Brighton and we couldn’t refuse...

Competition for the best club night on Pride weekend is getting fiercer. You’ve been known to book huge acts such as the recent appearance from Kelly Rowland. What tricks do you have up your sleeve to make sure Salvation is the hottest ticket around?

Kelly Rowland was great and we are pleased we had chance to see her perform before her track reached number one. In Brighton we have Valerie M from Groove Armada who is an excellent singer and knows how to work the crowd so I’m sure she will put a lot of sparkle in the party. Along with two of our best DJs Miswhite and Sharon O Love who will be spinning the

decks with some of the hottest sounds of the summer.

those days have gone that you realise how good they were.

If it’s a huge hit what plans do you have to make Salvation in Brighton a regular event?

We are working with the lovely Dulcie at Revenge club and if all goes well we will be planning more regular Salvation parties in Brighton. I can’t give too much away at the moment but we are sure the Brighton clubbers will be excited about our future plans.

When/where did you first go to a gay pride party?

The first ever Pride I went to was in Madrid which is a fantastic city and they sure do know how to party... It was very hot and I don’t just mean the weather!

Gay nightlife has evolved dramatically since the Stonewall riots forty years ago in NYC that kicked off gay pride celebrations – when did you first go gay clubbing and what was your reaction to it?

The first few gay clubs I ever went to were Flesh at the Hacienda in Manchester and Love Muscle in the Fridge in London. The Hacienda was so underground but amazing with people like Madonna, Take That and Happy Mondays performing there. It was a great time. Then when I moved to London in the 90s - Love muscle was my favourite; it had such a friendly atmosphere and music I had never heard before. It’s not until you

What does gay pride mean to you?

Gay pride means that we can stand proud of who we are as individuals and has a group in today’s society. It also means we can have a good time meeting new people and party like its 1999...

What makes Brighton Pride so special?

Brighton is the best pride event in the UK and there are many things that make it special. The people who organise and support it are the best so we need to keep supporting them and working together as a big family.

I’m proud to be gay because…

I have the right to be!

What are you excited about at Revenge this Brighton Pride?

We have plenty of exciting new things happening at the club this year for Brighton Pride like our first all-nighter, our first Pride foam party and our first headphone disco! We look forward to raising more money than ever for the Pride charity this year. Kinky Dangerous on Pride Saturday features a huge line-up of 10 DJs, including Dusty O, Bimbo Jones and The Sharp Boys.

We have nights happening all over Brighton from Thursday to Sunday and end the weekend with a huge foam party. I couldn’t think of a more fun way to go out in.

Gay nightlife has evolved dramatically since the Stonewall riots forty years ago in NYC that kicked off gay pride celebrations – when did you first go gay clubbing, what happened, and what was your reaction to it?

Revenge’s fabulous roof terrace will be ready for Pride weekend. What are you using the terrace for over the big weekend?

Wow! Have you seen it? Most of the weekend will have people enjoying their drinks and smoking under the stars but the big highlights will be the Saturday night firework display over Brighton Pier and our exclusive headphone disco with bbq on the Sunday afternoon!

When/where did you first go to a gay pride celebration and what was it like?

Again my first experience of a gay pride celebration was djing at one, when Brighton Pride was on the Level and I played the Wild Fruit dance tent. I don’t think anyone would have even have dreamed back then to what extent the Saturday has grown to now, the tent back then was probably not even a fifth of the size it is now!

What makes Brighton Pride special for you?

It’s a chance for all of the people of Brighton community to shine for one weekend of the year. It brings a fantastic feeling of equality to our city and is the best and biggest most exciting free festival in the UK - which is something we should all be proud of. It’s great to think that you are raising money for much needed charities whilst having so much fun.

My first experience of a gay club was djing in one. I was 16 years old (around 18 years ago) and the people and the vibe was very exciting. It was one of Brighton’s first gay clubs and was set under a hotel, they used to have some debauched Sunday night parties back when the licensing was all different.

What does gay pride mean to you?

Personally it’s a chance for me to get together with friends and think how lucky I am to live in the now and take stock of the many great things in my life that I take for granted, that many of our predecessors fought hard for us to have.

I’m proud to be gay because…

Well I can’t help being gay but I do love it, it’s a great part of being me!

PATRICK LILLEY * WORK! * Patrick Lilley has been running one of Britain’s longest-established gay clubs — Queer Nation, in Vauxhall, London — for almost eighteen years. With more hugely successful nights under his belt – such as Work! at Heaven (which has just relocated to Area in Vauxhall) and PYT (Pretty Young Things), is there no stopping him? Patrick brings Work! to Brighton Pride this year.

What’s going to make Work! the party to go to this year?

Honey – we’re cheap! We’re bringing genres of music not usually heard in gay clubs. We play R&B, hip hop, old skool – of course this depends how old you are.

Some of the people who come to my parties think that Beyonce is old skool though! This year there’s something for everybody – it’s not just all about funky house.

done over the years has been introducing a multiracial element – we want our nights to be inclusive.

When did you first go clubbing?

In the 70s, in Birmingham. I was inspired by the fact that they played different music in different rooms: punk rock in one, and soul and reggae in the others.

I still use this now at Work!, as we play pop, R&B and hip hop in different rooms. A big feature of what I’ve

I’m proud to be gay becuase...

I’m a happy cocksucker! And don’t tell anyone this but I’ve never taken home a customer at my club in twenty years! I try to separate business and pleasure.

Oh, fuck it, you can print that if you want. Maybe my luck will change!

What makes Brighton Pride so special?

Brighton Pride is so special because it’s free! It’s also a great day out at a park and by the sea. It keep the spirit of pride, which is for all. It’s still run as a local event, with an international attendance. It hasn’t become over commercialised. And we love the seaside!

THE BOURNE FREE SUPREMACY Torsten Højer chats to Bourne Free Chair Peter Lovegrove, who’s currently preparing for the town’s biggest ever gay party (Fri 10 - Sun 12 July)

t might not sound like the best of starts, but it’s true to say that Bourne Free – Bournemouth’s annual gay Pride celebration - was born out of hate.

Not a great foundation for a festival, you may think, but, the big pat-on-the-back part of Bourne Free is that is grew from a desire to turn hatred into love.

Too gushy?

Well, perhaps, but it’s true. In the midst of negativity much positivity can be created.

“Back in 2004, we were warned that the anti-gay cult calling themselves Christian Voice were coming to Bournemouth to preach their hate-filled messages against homosexuality,” says Peter Lovegrove, Chair of Bourne Free. “As a member of the community I got together with people who were against this hatred, and we decided to put on a big party to balance out the negative protests. We wanted to show the general public that gay people are good to know, good to live next door to and not at all scary. We’re now incredibly grateful to Christian Voice!”

So there. Take your hate and stick it up your…

Anyway. Five years on and Bournemouth – which has the fifth largest gay population in the country – has a Pride festival to be, well, proud of.

“I was looking back at the archive photos from the 2004 event, and there was about 50 people watching the entertainment in the Lower Gardens,” Lovegrove recalls. “Last year, there were so many people crammed into the gardens I couldn’t even see any grass.”

This year, Bourne Free is expected to be attended by more than 20,000 people, who are coming to the town from all over the UK. The event is now a three-day festival, attracting national attention and an array of household-name stars keen to perform for

I

the masses.

One of the unique aspects of Bourne Free is its inclusive approach and family-oriented programming.

“What’s special about using the gardens in the centre of Bournemouth as the venue for many of our events is that it’s so public,” says Lovegrove. “Many people simply walk through the gardens and stumble across the entertainment in the bandstand and stay to watch. The whole ethos of Bourne Free is about being ‘in yer face’ without being in your face. That’s why the event has always been right in the midle of town, right in a public park, so there’s high visibility factor. People who don’t venture to the gay bars, who don’t pick up magazines that we advertise in, can hear the music and see the LGBT community, and wonder what’s going on and find themselves a part of it. If they still feel animosity against drag queens or same sex couples they’re quite welcome to leave, we’re not forcing them to stay. But I’d like to think that people’s issues with homosexuality are decreasing in part because of this.”

Acts confirmed for Bourne Free 2009 include Atomic Kitten Natasha Hamilton, dance supremos Livin’ Joy, and more cabaret artists than you could shake a sequinned frock at, including Bournemouth Belle Miss Jason, who will be hosting the world’s biggest outdoor drag bingo game ever!

oinciding with the fortieth anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York in 1969 (which might also be acknowledged as the beginning of gay America’s rampant cultural colonisation of the rest of the English-speaking gay world) is Gay Icons, at the National Portrait Gallery in London - the first such celebratory exhibition.

But just what constitutes an icon?

According to The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, an icon can be either ‘An image, figure. or representation; a portrait; an illustration in a book’ or ‘A representation of some sacred personage, itself regarded as sacred, and honoured with a relative worship.’

Icon is a word much mis-used, because it is a word much misunderstood.

Gay Icons comprises of sixty photographic portraits of subjects who had lived within the last onehundred¬and-fifty years, chosen by ten individuals whom the National Portrait Gallery’s Director Sandy Nairne describes as “themselves iconic.” Those selectors were Lord Waheed AlIi, Alan Hollinghurst, Sir Elton John, Jackie Kay, Billie Jean King. Sir Ian McKellen, Lord Chris Smith, Ben Summerskill, Sandi Toksvig and Sarah Waters. To claim each of these as iconic is hyperbole.

Each of the selectors was allowed to choose portraits of six subjects whom they regarded as either inspirational or as a personal icon.

Amongst the individuals included in the exhibition are artists Francis Bacon and David Hockney, civil rights campaigner Harvey Milk, writers Quentin Crisp, Joe Orton, Daphne Du Maurier, Patricia Highsmith and Walt Whitman. composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, musicians k d lang, Will Young and the Village People, entertainers Ellen DeGeneres, Kenneth Williams and Lily Savage and Nelson Mandela and Diana, Princess of Wales.

The photographers who created the images are themselves distinguished, iconic even - and include Cecil Beaton, Polly Borland, Terry O’Neill, Snowdon and Andy Warhol.

Icons?

Diana, Princess of Wales and Nelson Mandela?

Certainly. Joe Dallesandro (“I don’t know whether I’ll ever become a household name in America, but my big thing is to land that television series that goes fifty episodes and you sit at home and collect the cheques”)? Probably not. He was always a pin-up.

Quentin Crjsp? Perhaps. Joe Orton (“The whole trouble with Western society today is the lack of anything worth concealing”)? Maybe. The Village People? Certainly not. They were only ever a joke.

But it’s all a question of taste.

Most of us have icons (heroes?), so those chosen by the National Portrait Gallery’s distinguished panel will not always chime with those of the viewers looking at these icons for others.

Yet regardless of absences and omissions and some very eccentric inclusions, it has to be said that Gay Icons is at once thought-provoking and simply provoking.

C

With the first exhibition of portraits which celebrate the contribution of gay men and lesbians to history and culture just opened in London, Peter Burton wonders exactly who is iconic.

Gay Icons runs at the National Portrait Gallery, St Martin’s Place, London WC2 until October 18.

Michelle Williams Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams is in London for the summer to take up the role of murderous Roxie Hart in Chicago The Musical. Torsten Højers spends an awkward five minutes with her.

DESTINATION

C

O

“I’m a serious performer, I’m an actress, and I’m a person of faith” ichelle Williams (right) is a girl who doesn’t like doing interviews. She says that she can appreciate that she has the opportunity to be ‘out there’ and get her name about (she should, given that she’s arguably the least known member of the three girls who made Destiny’s Child (pic above) the best-selling female group of all time – Beyonce is a household name and Kelly Rowland has hit it big with the gays with her Freemasonsdriven mix of dirty stomper Work, and number oneselling collaboration with David Guetta, When Love Takes Over) and hey, a lot of people now recognise the name Michelle Williams as the American actress who starred in Ang Lee’s 2005 gay cowboy movie Brokeback Mountain.

Is it bitterness? Boredom? Who knows, but she doesn’t sound like a girl who’s grateful for the opportunities life has gifted her.

OK, so she says her inclusion in world-dominating Destiny’s Child was a “blessing”, but offers this as a one-word answer to sum up the experience of being part of the most successful girl group ever. Perhaps she’s bored of talking about it, which is understandable considering she left the group in 2005 after five incredibly successful years (50 million records sold – and counting) to pursue a solo career.

Her first major solo pop effort, Unexpected (2002’s Heart to Yours and her 2004 release Do You Know were both gospel-led albums) was released in 2008. She told the press at the time that Unexpected was to be her breakthrough solo CD – the one that establish Williams as a solo star to be reckoned with.

“I’m a serious performer, and I’m an actress, and I’m a person of faith,” she said. “But I’m also a girl who likes to cut loose. I like to hit the dance floor with my friends and party and laugh. This album is about that side of me.”

It’s possible that Williams, aware of the public’s perception her as a good Christian girl singing songs for God’s ears rather than theirs, was keen to push forward a more Beyonce-esque ‘Sassy Girl’ image in order to attain proper pop star status (us Brits, unlike the Americans, aren’t keen on god-bothering gospel music on the whole).

M

So, is her new job, as Roxie Hart in the West End production of hit musical Chicago, the next step in her onslaught on the UK’s perception of her? After all, Roxie Hart is one sassy girl.

“Yeh.” There’s that one-word answer again, Michelle, with an obvious full-stop tone that shout ‘I’m not going into this any further’.

So, perhaps we should end the interview there, eh?

Michelle Williams appears as murderous chorus girl Roxie Hart in the enormously popular West End production of Chicago The Musical, during a limited six-week engagement running from July 13 through August 23, at the Cambridge Theatre (Earlham Street, Seven Dials, London WC2) www.chicagothemusical.co.uk. She will also perform at london’s G-A-Y club on Saturday 18 July.

hink of the Costa Del Sol, and it probably conjures up images of Marbella and Torremolinos, beaches bulging with lobster-pink Brits who forgot to slipslap-slop before bingeing on cheap sangria and adding to the local colour with some technicolour yawns of their own.

All of which explains why their Costa Del Sol neighbour, Malaga, Spain’s sixth largest city, is making a concerted effort to distance itself from such seedy shenanigans — especially as it’s making a bid to be the European City of Culture in 2016 — and remarket itself as Andalucía’s version of Barcelona. And, it must be said, with some justification.

Of course, Malaga has everything to offer that the regions other coastal resorts have to offer: abundant beaches, bars, restaurants and cafés, and an amazing 325 days of sunshine a year. But it’s a city steeped in history and culture that stretches back thousands of years, founded by the Phoenicians in 800 BC, and subsequently conquered by the Greeks, the Carthaginian and the Romans, it also boasts Jewish and Arabian influences.

Malaga is now a favourite haunt of native Spaniards from the North; many Madrid residents have second homes in Malaga and the new high-speed AVE rail service has reduced the journey time between the two cities to just two and a half hours, which also makes a tourist day-trip to the capital a welcome add-on to any holiday.

At the hub of Malaga’s cultural centre is Picasso — a terrible, woman-hating git, yes, but indisputably the 20th century’s greatest artist. Born in Malaga in 1881, he is honoured with the impressive Musée Picasso (Plaza de la Merced 15, www.fundacionpicasso.es), opened in 2003 by the King and Queen of Spain and featuring nearly 200 pieces of artwork, many from Picasso’s own private collections and donated by his daughter-in-law, Christine Ruiz-Picasso.

Within a few minutes walk of Musée Picasso is the Roman amphitheatre (one of the oldest in the Iberian Peninsula. It was discovered in 1951, but a full excavation had to wait until Malaga’s old public library — under which it sat — was demolished. Areas of it are still being unearthed, but you can go on a free guided tour of the huge ruins already on view.

If you fancy caning your calves while getting some spectacular views of the city and coastline, behind the teatro romano is the Alcazaba, the 11th century Moorish fortification and, on top of the adjoining hill, is the Castillo de

malaga Old town, Malaga.

Gibralfaro, built in the 14th century. You can cheat and get a bus up to the top of the Castillo (number 35, Euro 1.10), but it’s worth the walk, which is not as arduous as it appears. From the top of the Castillo, you get a sense of Malaga’s layout, from the magnificent cathedral in the old town to the bullring in the east near the busy harbour.

Depending on whether or not you like large crowds, a funfair-ish street atmosphere and lots of Catholic drag and imagery, Malaga’s Holy Week festival is something to behold. 60,000 visitors flock to the city to watch members of ancient ‘brotherhoods’ (male and female) don robes and spend four days and nights parading ‘tronos’ (floats with 100-year-old, 5,000kg wooden figures of Christ and Mary) through the streets. The tronos are carried by up to 200 muscle marys, known as ‘penitents’ — Malaga’s other famous son, Antonio Banderas, was a penitent in 2008. Behind and in front of the tronos parade ‘nazarenos’, whose pointed hoods obviously had a huge fashion influence on the Ku Klux Klan…

Though not exactly a gay Mecca, Malaga has a very laidback, cosmopolitan feel to it; the hotel where I stayed didn’t bat an eyelid when I turned up with a fellow female journalist and smilingly asked whether we wanted ‘one or two rooms’. Gay clubbers tend to head for Warhol on the Calle Niño de Guevara.

As a port town, Malaga is known for its fish restaurants, and offers plenty of ‘fruits of the sea’ straight off the boats. There is only one vegetarian restaurant, El Vegetariano de la Alcazabilla (Pozo de Rey 5), but most cafés and restau-

rants, especially tapas venues, offer plenty of choices if requested.

So — if you want to spend a few sunny days in a resort that offers you culture and chillin’, you could do worse than put those Costa del Sol prejudices behind you and bid Malaga a fond ‘hola!’.

Scott Brown discovers the delights of a budget break in one of the most beautiful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if less familiar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; areas of France.

On the road in Languedoc

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

expectation - the last time I had flown Ryanair was on a trip to Scandinavia, when I had landed in a different country to the one I had intended to visit. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to check the small print. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lesson for all of life, not just when booking a holiday.

Imagine then my surprise when, online, I pulled up a Ryanair destination bar which displayed a list as long as my arm, my, my, service had improved. I was so amazed and excited at the smorgasbord before me that I put the Dairylea back in the box and started thinking of Brie. Absentmindedly I found myself paying ÂŁ30 for

the pleasure of flying to France. Oh well, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have everything.

Perpignan it was. And I had no idea what awaited me, nor what Perpignan meant. It was south, and normally thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safe bet, although I was sure this wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rival Monaco, but then no small budget gets you into a millionairesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playground, I guess I would save that pleasure for after the credit crunch - when my affluence was back in full flow. For now I would adopt the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wait and seeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; approach, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it would all turn out for the best.

Somewhere in my head was the nagging conviction

...somewhere cheapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said.

Can you imagine it? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you want to go away somewhere cheap?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. I refused.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go somewhere that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cost too much money, but not somewhere cheap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small, but significant, difference. We agreed on the term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;budget breakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and I immediately felt sick at the thought of such an experience. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m growing tired of this credit crisis; it is having a seriously detrimental impact on the fabulous lifestyle Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown accustomed to.

I was then left fretting quietly about exactly what â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;budget breakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meant, I was experiencing a reoccurring nightmare of a week in Clacton-on-Sea with nothing but Dairylea triangles to keep me going. Something inside made me act on impulse and I did the most bizarre of things; I clicked on the Ryanair website. Sleep deprivation makes us behave queerly. To be honest my internet search was launched purely out of desperation and not

that cheap getaways would be more effective if you just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go on them. I felt like I was paying for the chance to be underwhelmed. Oh dear.

The flight down to Perpignan takes about the same time it took me to drink two cups of tea and to devour an adequate sandwich, the combined on-board cost of which added up to a fair percentage of what I paid for the flight. I may have napped on the flight, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember. Opening my eyes as we descended, I saw beautiful French houses creating a terracotta carpet on the land below me. The snow capped Pyrenees appeared on my left and a gently lapping sea was stretched far and wide to my right. It was a bit of a picture postcard. I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been expecting that. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet underwhelmed, but then there was a whole weekend to go.

The airport was only a mile or so from the town, a pretty place with squares and parks. A sleepy town though â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it did smack of a place that had never quite got going. A quick browse around and one nice coffee shop later and I felt Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Perpignan. To be honest,

it had a feel of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Britâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abroadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; about it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really not for me (probably a reason Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never visited Benidorm or Tenerife, I decided to leave Perpignan to the Ryanair massive). So, I hired a car and took to the open road.

As the postcard Perpignan disappeared in my rear view mirror an air of calm descended upon me, I felt free. I headed east to explore the Languedoc, a region between the Rhone and Aude River, an area of beauty and of simplicity, an area compared to Provence in so many ways - except cost. And therein lies the logicâ&#x20AC;Ś budget break; enjoy it, just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay premium for it.

Suddenly my feelings of being underwhelmed were lifted, I had a faint glimmer of hope in my heart. Maybe it was the sunshine on my face that was doing it.

Gently meandering roads swept us away from Perpignan, away from the Pyrenees and on to embrace undulating hills, sprawling vineyards and wild vegetation. The landscape was interrupted only by the odd village, each displaying its own unique past European influence: Italian, Greek, Spanish and French architecture splashes across the horizon and before you know it everything before your eyes has evolved into a canvas of lush beauty.

Head north-east and you traverse the Black Mountains, dramatic dark clouds hang in the sky, an unnerving natural phenomenon, and Harry Potter-esq feelings are evoked as you descend out of the dark and down in to the mediaeval city of Carcassonne. A city with unspoilt architecture, yet a place that is somewhat aged and dirty. Like a grubby urchin; Carcassonne is nice, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want it too close. We stopped, drank a lot of local produce and were unable to continue. Lower priced hotels are aplenty and so it was that our budget remained intact. Luckily the local grape juice was cheap too. Cheap and dirty. I confess I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really remember, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it was fun.

After a good nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sleep and a lot of bread product, we found ourselves sober enough to be back on the winding roads of the Languedoc, this time south-east towards Narbonne, a town smaller than Carcassonne, but more perfectly formed; a low rise city nestled in the hills and adjacent to the sea. The place oozing life and

lust, immediately ticking boxes; it had most things you would need in abundance (good food and good wine) and everything else that you needed in moderation (gay bars and pretty boys). I guess the sun shining make a difference, and it did shine, it does in that part of the world more frequently than in most places. I think I was happy. Feelings of being underwhelmed had clearly evaporated in the sunshine or been drowned by copious amounts of vin rouge and sea vistas.

After another economical night in a perfectly comfortable hotel, we realised the weekend was already over and that we had seen so little of this perfect and unspoilt piece of France. In the car, we began to wind our way back to the postcard Perpignan, meandering west this time with the sea on our left and astonishing rolling views ahead and to the right. In the distance were the Pyrenees once more, the foothills marking our point of origin and our destination. Despite the hangovers (after another night on the local Languedoc produce) I could now appreciate what we had experienced; a soft sample of France in its rawest form, rough around the edges, but one which worked so very well. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Provence, but the people, the views and the feel in the air were all more than comparable. They say that the Languedoc is the poor manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provence, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it bad, nor the man who visits it poor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; quite the opposite, it makes good business sense in a time where it is sensible to be prudent, in fact it makes it all the more attractive, not that it actually needs help to be made attractive as this whole area is a real hidden gem.

On reflection, I searched for where my feelings of being underwhelmed should surface and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a spot. The place was great, the journey easy, and the people more than friendly. It was a perfect little weekend and I started to worry. I had enjoyed a budget break. I was quite simply horrified â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I felt the same way Judith Chalmers would have when she realised she liked Butlins. Oh dear. On the way home I had a revelation; all this cheap travel simply meant that I could do more of it. I think I had been bitten by the bug. I got to thinking about what else Ryanair had on offer. I worry for me, I really do.

Pâtisserie Angélique is hosting ‘Pink Sundays’ every Sunday in Westbourne.

Come to the launch on Sunday 5th July.

Toby and Philippe invite you to a chilled afternoon cream tea, cake or milkshake on their sun terrace. www.patisserieangelique.com

Pink Sundays is being launched to offer the gay community in Bournemouth something different from the usual venues, a more relaxed atmosphere where you and your friends can sit, chat and enjoy a French fancy or two!

LGBT SWITCHBOARD

WIN! A BOOTCAMP FITNESS HOLIDAY! For many watching ITV’s Bad Lads Army is more about soft porn than fitness entertainment. After all, heading to the gym by yourself is boring, right? You’d rather be surrounded by military-style discipline and hard core orders, yeh?

Well, now’s your chance. Bournemouth-based Bootcamp Beach is a new initiative aimed at gay men and women who want to get fit the fun way. It comprises a residential, results-driven, fat-burning, fun-filled fitness programme - whatever your fitness level.

“It’s time to get down and dirty and sweaty,” says Susan, who is running the course. “Our 5 day military inspired programmes are focussed around exercising on the beach. From jogging, hiking, beach circuit training to 5-a-side-football and team games such as stuck-in-the-mud or more accurately, stuck-in -the-sand.”

One80news is teaming up with Bootcamp Beach to offer two lucky readers the chance to win a week on the course, to be taken this autumn.

To be in with a chance of winning, answer this question correctly: What does BMI stand for in fitness? a) Body Mass Index b) Body Mouldy Inside c) Body Mass Incredible For more information visit www.bootcampbeach.co.uk
