Gay Star News: Freedom Defined

That's freedom is it, standing round in your pants?

The West is the best!

Christ, Gay Star News is shit.

BBC: Under The Mistletoe

The BBC Christmas ad features two fellas kissing - for about two seconds (alongside a lot of other stuff; dogs, people eating kebabs etc).

Obviously the gay media are very excited, and think it's 'adorable'.

Oh, to be so banal and so easily pleased.

Gay Star News: God Hates Free Ads

The ‘God Hates Fag’ church caused a ‘social media frenzy’ when it shared a picture of Ryan Zamo kissing his fiancé in front of The Equality House across the street from the churches headquarters in Topeka, Kansas.

As fellow church members commented on and shared the picture, it quickly started to trend on Instagram and resulted in a ‘massive influx of sales’ to Zamo’s online skincare business.

‘It really didn’t bother me that much. We thought it was actually funny that it was becoming so popular, but neither my fiancé nor I are the types to retaliate, it wasn’t anything to be up in arms about,’ said Ryan Zamo, CEO of Z Skin Cosmetics.

‘We actually sent them a package with some of our Z Skin Cosmetics anti-aging, acne and hair products, after all they did drive massive sales for our site, it’s the least we could do.’

Gay Star News. 

Sorry!!? Where was this picture posted? What 'social media frenzy'? How would anyone know who was in the photo? Or that they ran a cosmetics firm?

Here's the press release on PR News Wire GSN have cut-and-pasted.

It would be wrong to single out this story, when so much on GSN is just regurgitated press releases, but this really is first-class horseshit.

It's so shameless and pathetic I almost wish it was another example of their undisclosed paid advertorial.

Gay Star News, why do you have such utter contempt for your readers?

PS And Pink News too! (May have been removed from the main site, for shame).

Update: Irony craps its nappy as Queerty credit Pink News as the source and title it 'Free Publicity'!

If anyone needs reminding that the gay news media is systematically shit, this be the post!

Engineering: Billions Of Bollocks

Almost certainly the biggest load of bollocks you'll read this year!

Thank you once again, Gay Star News!

PS I think the almost unbelievably crap maths here is that engineering is said - said! - to contribute £280 billion to the UK economy, and that as about 4-6% of people in the UK are said to be gay so... £11 billion is lost to HOMOPHOBIA!

You couldn't make it up.

Oh, hang on, you just have...

Syria: A Gay Man In Aleppo?

Air strikes in Syria will not help LGBTI people persecuted by IS and may lead to revenge attacks against them.

That’s the message from LGBTI Syrians themselves after UK Prime Minister David Cameron cited the execution of gay men as one of the reasons Britain should bomb Islamic State targets.

Reports and graphic images have emerged throughout the year of gay Syrians being thrown from buildings by IS and stoned to death by mobs.

But the bombing raids could make things even worse, according to Armen from Aleppo, Syria’s largest city.

He told GSN today: ‘The British intervention will make the local LGBTs more vulnerable. It places them at risk because IS and the other fighters will take revenge on them.’

Ratteb, a gay Syrian now in exile in Beirut, described IS as ‘the cancer of society’ saying it ‘is against every religious group, including Christianity and Islam’.

But he felt the foreign intervention in Syria would not help LGBTIs.

‘Our problem isn’t only with IS but with all the Arab regimes and the legislation in the region that means LGBTIs have no role in society,’ he said.

‘If these big countries like the Britain really want to help our main concern is changing the law [that criminalizes homosexuality] to help us effectively become active parts of the society.’

Jawad, a Syrian LGBTI refugee now living in Helsinki, Finland, questioned whether gay rights were really a concern of the US, UK, France and others in the coalition.

He told us: ‘In any case, Britain isn’t getting involved in the war to protect gays but for its own benefit, just like every country interfering in the war in Iraq and Syria.’

The American-led coalition includes Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, that all criminalize homosexuality, alongside the western allies...

Gay Star News.

Surprised/pleased to see GSN running this, and not being running dogs of imperialism as per.

Maybe they've been shamed into it?

Correction: Neither gay nor a girl nor in Damascus.

However, please bear in mind that LGBT voices from the Middle East quoted in the Western media are notoriously unreliable.

Most infamously you may recall in 2011 the much vaunted blog, A Gay Girl In Damascus - who, after claiming she'd been kidnapped - was exposed as being written by a straight American man in Edinburgh.

Gay Star News: Suicide Is Painless

Why does Gay Star News publish such utter horse shit?

Media Studies: The First Rule Of Gay Journalism

Gay Star News, obvs.

Is to be easily pleased.

London Pride: 'Everything Is Brilliant' - Official

'Full disclosure: Gay Star News is a media partner of London Pride but is committed to reporting on the event impartially.'

Tris Reid-Smith, Gay Star News.

Shamelessly biased reporting from the shamelessly pro-capitalist GSN.

PS And a survey of people who went tells us nothing about how most gay people feel, you goon.

PPS And Pride In London have launched an online 'consultation' on exclusion from the parade etc. Woo!

Presumably you can ask if a gay Tory like Michael Salter should be excluded from running it.

Fagburn's doesn't like banning things, but there's far more hate-filled bigots in the Conservative Party than Ukip, surely?

GLAAD: Imperial Arrogance

Disgustingly fawning, uncritical interview with GLAAD's president by GSN's idiot-in-chief, Tris Reid Smith.

LGBT: To T Or Not To T?

Independent Voices.

Pink News.

I just wish people would only use LGBT when it's appropriate.

The gay news media seem particularly keen on using LGBT when a story only involves gay men etc.

PS Fagburn sees Gay Star News now claims to speak for 'the LGBTI world'. Ludicrous.

Rugby: Another Bloke Comes Out (As Gay)!

Someone else we've never heard of til today has come out as a gay.

Apparently he plays something called the Rugby Union.

So brave etc.

Here's some stuff we read in his Sunday Times interview and saw on Wikipedia...

Gay Star News.

PS One also suspects Pink News hadn't heard of Oliver Sacks when they woke up this morning...

Update: GSN did a piece showing he'd been posting pictures of him and his 'other half' for weeks before he 'came out. Amazing what you can find on the internet.

Pinkwashing: With Gay Star News

Colin Wilson from No To Pinkwashing writes for Gay Star News!

One of the few good things about having a completely hopeless editor is that as he'll print anything, so some interesting stuff will occasionally get through.

The piece is a bit short for a complex subject, so best to visit No To Pinkwashing's website.

Anyway, after that brief interlude, it's time for GSN to get back to the serial Pinkwashing...

Gay News: Imagine

Pink News.

Gay Star News.

Imagine having to re-write press releases like these for a living* and having to pretend to be excited.

Can you imagine how utterly soul-destroying that must be?

They are pretending, aren't they...

* ie Bearly (barely?) paid the London living wage or on unpaid internships.

Russia: Can't Happen Here!

Following the legalization of gay marriage in the US, ChebuRussia TV decided to conduct a social experiment to see what would happen if two men held hands as they walked through the streets of Moscow.

Reactions were captured by a camera hidden in the bag of a third person walking ahead.

As expected, there is a lot of staring and name-calling, and even a few physical confrontations.

‘Russia’s in the bin because gays have overtaken and are walking the streets’ is one of many insults hurled at the two men.

At one point, one the men says he’s frightened after being violently shouldered by a muscular skinhead, and the clip ends ominously with another physical altercation.

‘On one side of the planet this is absolutely normal. In Russia – it’s not,’ the video concludes...

Gay Star News.

Of course, if they did that in South Carolina or Southampton everyone would just garland them with flowers.

A quick glance at the UK and US media shows we totally eradicated social homophobia in March 1983.

Not like these backwards Russians!

Some GSN readers comment...

What stuped straight people have in rusia wow homofobic please everybody gays of rusia come to América your are welcome baby ya U.S.A is freedom for everybody

There was that American psycho killing several innocent kids at a school, why didn't he kill all these homophobic ppl in Russia, ugh u know what, America do us a favour and wipe Russia out of the map please

Yay, genocide! That'll learn 'em.

PS Several other readers in the wonderful West point out they get this all the time...

Gay News Media: Under Fire

Gay Star News.

Dear idiot,

The BBC is not 'under fire'.

The Daily Mail has just been indulging in its favourite sport - bashing the BBC - and has made-up a story by phoning two rent-a-quote Tory MPs to get them to say how OUTRAGED! they are.

Surely that should be the angle in the gay news media?

If you're too thick to see that - and you can't defend someone who's being attacked by the right for being pro-gay - then you shouldn't be writing for the gay media.

yours etc

Pink News.

Dear idiot,

Please see the above.

yours etc

Fagburn

Gay Star News: Adorable!

Kids + gay marriage + will warm your heart + adorable = GSN BINGO!

Cause sentimental crap makes their world go round.

Yay, my life is so validated by the moral choices of some little people who probably still wet the bed!

The sad thing is Gay Star News have no idea what a tedious gay cliché machine they are.

There's also something of a classic Gay Star News 'news' story today.

They've finally cottoned on that the 'Relentlessy gay garden' story may - just possibly - be a hoax.

Poor GSN, always the last to know...

No apologies for running a totally credulous news story about this last month.

Even though anyone with an IQ higher than a labrador's could see it stank.

Queerty did the same thing a week ago.

But GSN oblivious to this, only ran their story after Mail Online had picked up on Queerty's story two days ago!

Again, if all the gay news media is doing is re-running stories they've seen in the straight press - and GSN's is a clear copy of the Mail's - then there is no point to the gay news media.

Hillary Clinton: Thank You Ma'am!

Back in 2009 (four years before the current presidential hopeful formally endorsed marriage equality), then-Secretary of State Clinton expressed concern over purported torture of gay men in Iraq in one of many released conversations from 2009 with her adviser Cheryl Mills, reports the Washington Blade.

“So sad and terrible," wrote Clinton of the alleged antigay brutality in Iraq. "We should ask Chris Hill to raise this w govt. If we ever get Posner confirmed we should emphasize LGBT human rights.” ...

The Advocate

And that, unbelievably, is the story.

Yup, Clinton once sent a private email saying she thought reports of gay men in Iraq being tortured and murdered was 'sad and terrible', this was in the chaos unleashed in the wake of a criminal war she'd always supported.

And this - apparently - shows she has 'always' supported LGBT rights, even though she was speaking out against equal marriage at the time.

One wonders what squish-squish sad-face sadness she felt over the countless gay men that must have died as 'collateral damage'.

And what would she do about it?

Send in the rainbow-coloured drones?

The gay media's fawning over this appalling woman is sickening.

Here's a quick corrective, Codepink's Medea Benjamin on Hillary The Hawk.

Her election campaign looks like being political pinkwashing defined.

I doubt her own press office could think they'd get away with trying to push such utter bilge.

The above epic exercise in point-missing puffery was regurgitated by both of our own pink stenographers to power, Pink News (New emails reveal Hillary Clinton thought Iraq's treatment of gays was 'sad and terrible'), and Gay Star News, who gave it the exact same crass spin as the Advocate... 

You cannot hope to bribe or twist,
the homosexual journalist.

But seeing what the man will do 

unbribed, 
there's really no occasion to.

Gay Star News: Hello, I Must Be Going

Gay Star News - the worst gay website in the world - has 'had an upgrade'.

Much loved by thousands among the burgeoning gay-idiot community who adore their reprinted press releases, days-old 'news', right-wing goonery, heteronormativity, public displays of corporate annilingus, illiteracy and sentimental hokum, GSN reveal their thrilling new direction by starting a new section, Gay Star Homes.

As Gay Star News has nothing but utter contempt for their readers, this is basically just an excuse to publish even more advertorial, mainly by the estate agents Knight Frank, seller of homes to London's obscenely rich.

Unjoy!

Why?

PS Or howsabout this absolute humdinger of not-actually-gay-news from Gay Star News!

Pride: How So?

Gay Star News.

Why shouldn't they?

The gay right likes to demonise Ukip, as if to prove they themselves are not right-wing.

'Theys donut like teh gaymarriage!'

Like it's the worst of their racist cunty platform.

And the pointless manically depressive funfest London Pride - like Gay Star News - is bankrolled by the far worse Barclays; big time convicted corporate crooks and arms dealers.

Why do you expect them to be moral agents or some compass of ideological purity?
