Pink News Awards: David Cameron - Straight Ally!

A touching pre-recorded video message from the Tory pig fucker.

Yes, he mentions the fantastic gaymarriage!

He also says Pink News has 'an audience of 10 million people'!

A claim made by founder and former 'dot com millionaire' Ben Cohen on Radio 4's The Media Show yesterday.

(Though bizarrely the video link above that PN links to has yet to reach 100 views).

Ben says he started Pink News in 2005 because; 'I thought that the LGBT media needed something serious, up until that point all of the gay media was really quite seedy, it had adult content, and adult advertising... Pink News has never has had any adult content, anything which wouldn't be mainstream. And that's the reason why today, although we have aound 10 million readers around the world, over 20% of them are straight, they're straight allies...'

As Fagburn believes the younglings say on social media these days; I can't even...

Maria Miller: Shocking!

The above meme has been much RT-ed on Twitter since Maria Miller was appointed Minister for Women and Equalities on Tuesday.
It's shocking, isn't it?
It's shocking because the charges it makes against Miller are at best somewhat dubious and at worst utter balls.
I'm not going to go through them all blow-by-blow - mainly as blogger How Upsetting has already done this here.
(I trust he's right, I couldn't be arsed to check).
It's terrifying how often these things get passed on and on and on, unchallenged, unquestioned, unchecked.
But such is the apolitical "political" virtual world of online clicktivism.
How depressing.

Further, when it was announced that Miller had been made Minister For Equality, you'd think any gay journalist would immediately automatically go and check her voting record and see what she has said - or not said - on LGBT issues.
In the age of the internet it would take mere minutes to do a basic check.
Her record is piss poor, by the way - which doesn't bode well for marriage equality legislation. 
And it's really piss poor that both Pink News and Pink Paper only pointed this out the following day after picking the story up from bloggers and a press statement they were sent by a church group.
How very depressing.
