IF YOU WERE AT THE VIGIL for Orlando on Old Compton Street, you’ll understand
us when we say it was one of the most moving experiences of our lives.
Thousands of people descended on Soho on Monday night, in the biggest tribute so
far to the atrocities against the LGBT community in Orlando.
Fittingly, crowds centred around The Admiral Duncan, the scene of a homophobic
bombing in 1999.
Scores of gay men, lesbians, transgender people, genderqueer people, drag queens
and straight people were out in force to show solidarity with the worst mass shooting in
U.S. history.
People were hugging, crying and holding rainbow flags and banners saying “Love
will always win against LGBT hate” and “London stands united with Orlando against
terrorism.”
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan was in attendence, as well as Jeremy Corbyn,
activist Peter Tatchell and face of Channel 4 Jon Snow. There were also scores of
familiar faces from the London gay scene, including the beautiful Son Of A Tutu who
acted as the event’s unofficial usher, conducting the crowds with modesty and grace.
At 7.05pm, a wave of silence spread through the streets for over two minutes as
the dead were remembered. It culminated with a heartwarming gesture of love when
balloons were released and the crowd let out a roar of hope and freedom, and the
London Gay Men’s Choir burst into song.
Well done London! We’ve done ourselves, and hopefully Orlando, proud.

EDITOR’S LETTER
By Dylan Jones
W
hat happened in
Orlando over the
weekend marks a grisly
point in LGBT history. It
is a physical, merciless
attack on our way of life
and the values and freedoms we treasure
most. When America’s biggest terror attack
since 9/11 is targeted at such a close-knit,
comparatively small group of people, it
carries unignorable significance. The fact
that it was during the Pride season hurts
all the more, making us feel scared and
powerless at a point when we should be
feeling our strongest and proudest.
It is important to note that the UK
mainstream press has been hugely
incompetent on its coverage of the events.
On Sunday night, writer Owen Jones quite
rightly walked out of a Sky News interview
when a fellow guest and one of the presenters
interviewing him implied that the attack was
not homophobic. He pointed out that if the
attack had been on a synagogue, it would
unquestionably have been treated as antiSemitic. Sky News and the presenter involved
have come under fire from gay rights groups
and the general public.
The BBC have also been vastly criticised
for their failure to cover the events, showing
hours of footage of the Queen’s birthday
celebrations, rather than covering one of the
biggest terrorist attacks of the century.
It emerged this morning too that The
Daily Mail failed to report it at all, instead
advertising a pair of pearl earrings and a
picture pull-out of the Queen’s birthday, with
not a word about the attacks.
Obviously questions have been raised
as to the motives and reasoning behind
this lack of reporting. Many are saying that
such apathetic responses show that, despite
appearances to the contrary, a lot of people
in high places still don’t care what happens to
our community. As well as remembering the
events in Orlando, we need to remember this,
and consider what it implies.
The horror that unfolded on Sunday morning
at Pulse in Orlando shows that homophobia
is still very real, and it’s right on our doorstep.
Acrid, senseless hatred still exists, and it can
slither directly into the heart of our community
and sink its poisonous fangs into our necks.
It would be easy to feel beaten, hopeless
or defeated. To just keep our heads down and
stay safe. It would also be easy to ignore it.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we could just turn up the
volume on our Ab Fab boxsets, pour another
gin and tonic, and pretend none of it had
happened. But that’s just not good enough.
We can no longer sit in our living rooms and
do nothing. Patsy certainly wouldn’t stand for
it, that’s for sure. She’d be storming down Old
Compton Street, shouting “PISS OFF!” and
brandishing a bottle of Bollinger.
That said, we should also try not to react
with anger. Anger will hurt no-one but
ourselves. The way to respond is not with
aggression, or hatred towards other minorities,
but with love. The aim of attacks like this is
to make us blind with rage, and to divide us
in our views. We need to resist that and stick
together, with each other and with our allies of
all backgrounds, sexualities and religions.
We need to stay grounded, stay logical
and above all, stay proud. Wear what we
want, go where we want, hold hands with who
we want. This summer, our Pride celebrations
here in London and across the world should
be more euphoric, glittering and defiant than
ever. Extremists like the Orlando attacker
Omar Mateen are lonely, lost people. Let’s
show them how great it is to be colourful,
joyful and free.

The atmosphere at the vigil on Monday
was one of pure and organic unity. Soho,
and all that joined, felt every emotion
possible; from the heartbreak of the
Orlando attack, to respect for the victims,
and yet a wave of absolute pride and
solidarity for standing as one, as an LGBT
community and showing Pride. There were
tears, cheers, and pure love.
In light of the attack at Orlando’s Pulse
club, it was critical to show a community that will not stand down to
terror or hate, that we will continue to fight for equal rights, continue
to stand for what we believe, continue to be proud of who we are,
and who we love. This vigil showed the London LGBT community at
its best; united as one against hate.
More than ever, recent events highlight the need for legal and
social equality. The need for education and the need for events
like Pride.
From 6pm onwards on Monday night you could
feel a sense of coming together. As Old Compton
Street got busier & busier, the atmosphere became
more and more emotional. Seeing thousands
coming together became the true definition of community.
The vigil was important for several reasons. The attack on
Pulse wasn’t just an attack on Orlando, it was an attack on every
LGBT venue in the world. We needed to show solidarity with the
LGBT community in Orlando. It was important for people to have
somewhere to come together.
I think what has happened humanises us. Some religious leaders have
spoken against this attack, who before may not have been supporters of
the LGBT community. We are seen now as a community, especially in the
way we’ve all come together. This attack has strengthened our place in the
world. Much of the news coverage has been so positive, and it shows how
important events like Pride are. This year’s London pride will hopefully be
a day where we come together as a community. Let’s not make it a day of
just partying but also a day of solidarity.
Bisi Alimi
Activist
The vigil was
really moving
for me. I felt so
overwhelmed and
empowered. I saw
the huge crowd
and felt so proud
to be part of
such an amazing
community. It
is important
to remember
that the Soho
nail bombing happened on Old Compton
Street in 1999. So to be back there to stand
in solidarity with LGBT people, not just in
Orlando, but across the world, was just
awesome. I think we sent a very strong
message out yesterday that hate crime will
not define us and we will not be scared by
it. Any LGBT person who has been afraid,
in the closet or in doubt, would have seen
yesterday and felt really proud.
Chris Godfrey
Assistant Editor

Magazine
There’s been a
lot of in-fighting
within the UK’s
LGBT community
over the last few
years, a mark
of complacency
perhaps. People
forget that
actually there’s still a very real threat to us –
even in countries with relatively progressively
attitudes. There are factions in society
that will never accept us, there are people
who quite literally want us dead. Monday
night was a bittersweet reminder that we
are much, much stronger when we stand
together, that we’re united in our differences.
Munroe
Bergdorf
Model & DJ
The atmosphere
was incredible,
thick with love and
solidarity.
It’s unfortunate
that it sometimes
takes situations
like this for our
community to
really pull together
and realise we’re
all in it together.
The Orlando
shooting shows
us why Pride is important. We have rights
and laws to protect us, but homphobia,
transphobia and biphobia still exist in the
world on a grand scale. We need pride to
show the world that even in the face of such
adversity and hate, we have love and each
other. Our community is powerful, colourful
and built on love.
Vanity Von Glow
Performer
The atmosphere began as one of
solemn contemplation but once
the silence had been observed and
London Gay Men’s Chorus began to
sing, it became one of reassurance
and ultimately of hope, pride and
confidence that against any odds,
love wins.
It is vitally important for our
community to show solidarity when
under attack. Not just as a show of
strength but to send a message to
those less well protected that we are
aware, that we are listening, that we do care, and that we want to help. Love must be expressed.
The LGBT community is a nation without borders. Social media now allows us to be closer
than ever to our community, not just locally but globally. Because of this we see up close how
much still needs to be done. Across the world we must change not only laws to protect gay
people, but also the hearts and minds of the people who despise us. What Monday night’s vigil
has proven is that we’re as prepared as ever to undertake this important work.

Unmissable Pride Stuff
(Or, THE QX
GUIDE)
As the title suggests, here’s our guide to UNMISSABLE PRIDE STUFF! It’s what we’ll be doing so, obviously, it’s
what you SHOULD be doing. Because if we’re there, everyone will be there! Because we’re super cool and
famous! The paparazzi followed us last time we went to get a Sainsburys Meal Deal (not true).
We’re being dicks, obviously. All of the stuff going on at Pride is amazing, but this is just the stuff that
happened to catch our eye. Don’t be mistaken in thinking Pride is over one weekend. This year, seemingly
more than ever, it’s an entire production, with a good couple of weeks’ worth of stuff going on at a host of
venues across the city. So yeah, here’s our pick!
Pride In Soho
Saturday 25th June
Midday – late
Free
This Much
Daily until Saturday 2nd July
7:15pm
Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, W1D 3NE
Tickets from £10
Fresh from a critically-acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe, This
Much (Or An Act Of Violence Towards the Institution of Marriage)
questions the heteronormative concept of marriage, and reexamines how we define ourselves through relationships. The plot
details have all been kept quite clandestine, because apparently
knowing any more spoils it, but anything critically-acclaimed that
involves boys in wedding dresses has to be good, right?!
Now, we don’t know about you, but for us,
THIS is what Pride’s all about! Stumbling
through sun-scorched Soho Square, a bottle
of Smirnoff Ice in one hand and a rainbow
flag in the other, avoiding ex boyfriends and
scouting out new ones. Drag queens hang out
of third-floor windows, hot boys in denim pants
twerk to Britney, horrified straight Italian tourists
get jostled into the McDonalds toilets and it’s
generally just a wonderful, free, outrageous
hive of debauchery. If you do nothing else
during pride, battle your way into Soho and
drink in the vibes (and the Smirnoff Ice).
Natural History Museum Lates
Friday 24th June
6pm – 10pm
Free
This year for the first time ever, the Natural History Museum is opening its doors
to pride! As venues go, the Natural History Museum is, unarguably, one of
the best in the world. It’s got a bloody buggery diplodocus skeleton for god’s
sake! Yes, for Pride they’ll be hosting a special edition of their popular Museum
Lates nights, where they open until ten and serve a selection of wines and beers
for people to saunter with down their hallowed halls. There’ll be some other
stuff too, including special exhibitons and performances from the London Gay
Men’s Chorus and appearances from drag queens Gina Gee, Courtney Dix
and Vanity Von Glow. Where else could you sip a glass of prosecco next to a
dinosaur skeleton whilst chatting to a drag queen?! Fabulous.
A Night At The Musicals
Monday 20th June
8pm – 11pm
Pizza Express, The Pheasantry, 152 Kings Road, SW3 4UT
£18
Another brain-tingingly unique experience! Watching two drag queens sing hits from
musicals at a Pizza Express in Chelsea! Again, what other city on earth would facilitate this?!
This is why we love London. We’ve been to this night before actually, when they did it last
Christmas and it is, as you might imagine, absurd and hilarious, but also has moments
of breathtaking emotion and real, premier league talent. Jonny Woo and Le Gateau
Chocolat are both award-winning performers at the top of their game and it certainly shows.
Unmissable, and the perfect way to kick off a week of campations!
So that’s it for now! Check back next week for Part 2 of our Pride Guide.

As always, London’s biggest,
beariest nightclub did not disappoint
on Saturday! It wins points just for
sheer spectacle. Its vaulting ceilings
and majorly huge dancefloor make
for an amazing setting for a big
camp night out. And as if that wasn’t
enough, their massive smoke cannons
will blow your shirt off and take your
breath away. Another great thing
about XXL is the crowd. No judgy
little twinks or posey muscle marys
here! It’s all about having a dance,
having a chat and having a good
time. If you’re a bear, you’ll LOVE
XXL because it’s full of ‘em! Loads of
lovely hairy broad-shouldered men.
And if you’re not a bear, you’ll be in
the minority but that’s fine because
everyone’s really welcoming and
friendly. All in all, a super-fun, supergay, super-sized Saturday night out!
Thanks guys x

Continuing to dominate the

again rocking Fire last Sunday morning.
In the main room the legendary Fat
Tony was joined on the decks by Tony
English and Nik Denton while doing
the business in the back room were
HiFi Sean and MisWhite. The crowd
were an eclectic mix from across the
capital, some from other clubs the
night before but many who had been
to bed and got up just for Beyond such
is the pull of it’s cutting edge music. As
the sun came up and we were leaving
the club the news from the shooting at
Pulse in Orlando came through and
we realised that even in the safest of
spaces tragedy can strike. But rather
than divide us and scare us in to hiding,
on the contrary, a direct attack such
as this only strengthens our resolve to
stand shoulder to shoulder with LGBT
communities across the globe. We will
continue to dance and continue to be
visible until we have equality for all.

Sink the Pink: Freakshow
11/06/16
Troxy, 490 Commercial
Road, E1 0HX
Words by Nicolas Chinardet
Photos by zefrographica
What a difference a few hours make. On Saturday night hundreds of the
queerest freaks in London gathered at the venerable Troxy in Limehouse for a new
decadent edition of Sink the Pink. Bearded drag queens, musclemen and all kinds of
weird and wonderful gender-bending creatures came together in exulting celebration,
filling the place with a vibrant, joyful energy, helped by a large group of dragged-up
performers. The costume competition, judged by a panel including Sophie Ellis Bextor,
was easily won by The Twins, a faux pair of elder Siamese twins who quickly revealed
their lithe bodies to an exulting audience. The fabulous vibe reached a paroxysm
when Ultra Naté took to the stage, concluding her set with a belted rendition of her
1996 anthemic paean to freedom, which set the house on fire. The next morning,
we all woke up in a daze to the news of the worst mass shooting in a modern US
history, perpetrated against another group of LGBT people; people also gathered to
have fun and enjoy life. A stark reminder that beyond the delicious frivolity, attending
alternative events like this one is still a highly political act of subversion.

“Home away
from home for
disco queens,
rock chicks and
indie gays.”
Once you make it past the (that
night rather dishy) bouncer and
the friendly welcome of Zia, in
charge of the door, Homo Superior,
at the Moustache Bar in Stoke
Newington/Dalston is probably
not quite what its name would let
you expect. Rather than a roomful
of topless sweaty musclemen or
supercilious beardy hipsters, the
intimate basement bar is actually a
relaxed little den, perfect for a drink
and a boogie with friends, a selfstyled “home away from home for
disco queens, rock chicks and indie
gays.” A party was there celebrating
someone’s birthday while others
were on a date. At the decks were
Panos Z and guest DJ Laurence del
Rey who played a selection of works
by artists either queer themselves
or favoured by our community, in
a wide range of genres, from punk
to indie or even disco. The order
of the night was definitely low key
alternative, a perfect way to relax.

Blocheads was BANGIN on
Saturday! East London hive of
debauchery East Bloc is one of the
best nights in the city, gay or straight.
It’s got a brilliant sense of abandon
about it that sets it apart from more
conservative, straight-laced affairs.
We got ourselves a Red Stripe and
had a chat in the smoking area
with an awesome guy from Nairobi
who designed his own fascinators.
One of which he was wearing at the
time. Then we stumbled down and
had a major dance to a refreshingly
unpretentious pop playlist in the bar

The above is a direct quote from the BABEZ - Summertime Madness
event page, which gives you an idea of quite how mental this night
is. The fact that it was started by Beary Carey this year, with a team
consisting of origiBABEZ: the Un-Lucky Bitches, Dom Top and binbag goddess Lady Lloyd, should also give you a good idea of this
how, well, mental it is.
Babez brings pop to Bloc Bar on Sat June 18th. They want to throw
you the ultimate pop party, so if you’re sick of those lifeless beats and
dreary drumbeats - this is the place, kids.
This coming instalment features some familiar scene faces, so
here’s a quick Who’s Who (or should it be Who’s THAT?) of BABEZ Summertime Madness:
BEARY CAREY
As the name suggests, this
hairy masc mary is a devoted
follower of Mimi. Expect all
manner of past and present
pop treats from the big boss
of BABEZ. And at least 13
Ariana Grande tracks.
DOM TOP
Apparently a writer of some
kind. Also part of an alleged
“comedy group”. Loves pop,
dance pop, Latin pop and
R’N’B ANTHEMS. So listen
out for Spanish language
versions of Fifth Harmony
singles on heavy rotation.
LEWIS G BURTON
Oh here she is. Gay
London’s answer to Ursula
the Sea Witch by way of
Leigh Bowery, rocking up to
the Bloc Bar with his makeup
gun set to “WHORE” and
a purse full of pop gems.

On a back street near Russell Square, tucked away snugger than Lady
Lloyd’s cooch, is New Bloomsbury Set. Enjoy an evening of mainstream pop
hits and their cocktail counterparts: Can’t Get You Out of My Head and
Cosmos all round please. This is the place to spot sexy but sassy bar staff,
and swanky interior design delights. Last Saturday night we headed down
to find wall-to-wall twinks and a happy hour that lasted from 4-8. NBS is
the perfect place for getting tanked up with your squad before ploughing on
elsewhere to cause Sauvignon Blanc fuelled carnage. Don’t let the highbrow
name fool you, this place is a barrel of laughs the size of an actual barrel.
The youthful, twinky boys look to scale in this petit basement space: if NBS

AND CHARACTERS OF
Superficial!
Sam (Paul Duncan)
“TOTAL TOP, NSA,
LOOKING FOR A JOB.”
My name’s Paul Duncan.
I’m an actor from London.
I’m so excited to be playing
Sam in Superficial. The
character goes through a
journey of self-discovery,
which I think every young
gay guy can relate to. It’s
about opening your eyes,
seeing different as ok and
wearing your identity like
a badge of honour. I can’t
wait to tell Sam’s story and
begin this electrifying ride
and take you into the world
that is $UPER£ICIAL.
Ibiza Chilltape
(James Ferguson)
“OKAY, 6 ¾ INCHES
BUT IT CAN PASS
FOR 8 FROM THE
RIGHT ANGLE”
Ibiza is a raunchy and
playful drag artist who
runs a regular ‘Gayeoke’
night at $UPER£ICIAL.
She finds power in paying
homage to her favourite
pop icons and celebrating
their strengths. I admire
her for her dignity and
strength. She is consistently
a shoulder to lean on and
tends to put other needs
first rather than her own.
Playing Ibiza has been a
fantastic challenge and
unlike anything I’ve ever
tackled before. I can’t wait.
JJ (Rich Watkins)
“THE POWER OF
KYLIE COMMANDS
YOU!”
JJ is a Kylie fanatic and
jobbing actor who now
works at Superficial as a
bar manager. When he
gets camp-shamed he
begins forming another
identity for himself of
‘masc’, and suddenly
he’s getting messages on
Grindr. Only this means
leaving Kylie behind…

what it means to be a proud gay man in 2016, with a lot
of fun, dance and humour. We chatted to some of the cast
about their characters and what the play means.

Benjamin is a great
story-teller. I think that’s
what most drew me to
him. It’s hard to tell which
bits of his story are true
and which are fantasy,
but Benjamin believes in
it all. He claims to have
created the success of
“$uper£icial” by himself,
but now the crowds
are dwindling he must
recognise the talents of
the young men around
him, if he and the club
are to survive. I am
also looking forward to

costumier, Charlie
Tuesday Gates, is

outfits to help me bring
him sensationally to

“I LEAD A COUPLE
OF BOYS UP

PATH WITH A
FLASH OF THE
KNICKERBOCKERS.
I’M NOT PROUD OF
IT, BUT I DID.”
Archie, Sam’s dad, is an oldfashioned man. Working in
construction, he’s used to a
very masculine environment
and has recreated this
in his own home. He
doesn’t consider himself
to be homophobic, but
just thinks of gay men as
some exotic species, that
you might occasionally see
when wandering through
Soho, or on the telly. He’s
oblivious to the fact that his
strictly enforced perception
of gender roles is stifling
and harming his own son.
Many of us gay men grew
up feeling challenged by our
parents expectations’ of us.
Moira is of a generation
of women who have
been sold happiness
as having 2.4 children
and a four bedroom
house in Chiswick. She
is trapped between
the two men in her
life. Her husband
who she desperately
loves despite his old
fashioned views and
her son who she
desperately loves and
supports despite his
rejection of her efforts.
Ultimately Moira wants
her son to feel loved
and accepted in his
struggles of sexuality
but there are some
circumstances that are
beyond her power to
change.

Review:
OUTINGS
Outings, a new series from TLA Releasing, certainly isn’t pulling any
punches when it comes to frank depictions of sex and relationships.
Billing itself as “Queer As Folk meets Skins”, from writers Rob Ward
(co-writer of critically acclaimed play Away from Home) and Lloyd
Eyre-Morgan (Iris Prize winner for Closets), the new three-part British
drama focuses on a group of gay twentysomethings trying to work it
all out. Been there!
The show is equally honest in it’s portrayal of the clubbing scene,
as well as the pressures of making your way in the working world
whilst staying true to your passions. Who hasn’t had to settle for a
shitty internship whilst moving back in with mum? Too real!.
To whet your appetite, he’s a brief synopsis of what to expect from
each episode, plus a whole load of gorgey pics.
Episode 1 - Entrances and Exits
Kane is dumped by Tom (again) during an intimate moment and
moves back in with his mum (yet again). Will he ever find his place in
the world or in the bedroom? Elsewhere, Kiegan is asked a question
and Tim tells it as it is.
Episode 2 - Best Man
Kiegan continues to escape the pressure of his breakup and family
the only way he knows how, but will he further alienate himself at his
niece’s christening? Kane starts dating and a blast from Tim’s past
makes Lucy doubt their future.
Episode 3 - Happy Returns
Tim throws a surprise 80s pop star fancy dress birthday party for
Lucy, convincing her that recent difficulties are behind them. But is
Tim really ready to get serious with her? Old friends and foes collide
in the explosive season finale.
Outings is perfect movie night viewing with a few mates, guaranteed
to make you gasp or shout “That’s happened to me!” at least twelve
times. It’s out now on VOD and DVD, so call the boys/girls/nonbinaries grab a few bottles of wine, settle in and have a watch.

ORIENTED
Oriented is a documentary following the
lives of three young gay Palestinian men
living in Tel Aviv. It explores their relationship
with religion, sexuality, and culture, and the
tension between Jews and Muslims that is still
a major part of everyday life in Israel.
Director Jake Witzenfeld has created a
warm-hearted and accessible window into
Israeli/Palestinian culture. Filmed in an
unthreatening style, it never feels contrived
or preachy. He achieves a goal that is
surely the holy grail for all documentary
film makers – he captures seemingly totally
natural behaviour and conversation from his
subjects, as if the camera weren’t there.
We followed Khader, Fadi and Naim as
they agonized over trysts and romances,
debated the pros and cons of living in
politically volatile Tel Aviv and discussed
their sexuality with their families. It’s also
refreshingly free of the clichés that are rife
among other portrayals of Palestinian culture.
It’s mostly just about three friends having fun,
getting drunk and talking about life.
A running theme is of them leaving their
oppressively rural upbringings and finding
joy and freedom in the urban metropolis of a
thriving city, something a lot of gay men can
identify with.
Oriented is an important movie. It puts
across aspects of life for young gay people
in the Middle East that many of us are totally
unfamiliar with. It shows a group of people
who know what they want, unafraid and
unapologetic in the face of a challenging
and changing sociopolitical environment.

Sasha Selavie
Extreme Queens Supreme!
E
ver snorted raw shit? Or lovingly peeled a poxy,
ulcerated penis from diarrhoea-disaster Y-fronts?
Really, how extreme is too extreme? Should there be
any limits whatsoever to the scatological surrealism
of fabulously provocative gay art? Yes, better strap
yourselves in, boys, there’s a vile road ahead! So, join
me in a filthily intimate kiss to Samuel R. Delaney,
indisputably the fiercest gay, black, no-holds-barred
sex and science-fiction writer on planet earth.
Never heard of the guy? OMG, where have you
poor saps been living? At the butt-end of happy, sappy clowns like
Armistead Maupin masquerading as worthwhile, fag fiction? No,
instead, let’s retract the raw, diseased foreskin of Delaney’s novel The
Madman, an unflinching, sexual odyssey even clap clinic junkies would
puke at!
It’s the 1980s, and gay, black student John Marr’s researching
Korean philosopher Timothy Hasler’s murder near an NYC gay bar in
1973. In increasingly depraved scenes reminiscent of Hannibal Lecter’s
infatuated, mental fuck-buddy identification with Clarice Starling, Marr
starts retracing, and finally re-enacting, Hasler’s every sexual outrage.
You think bare-backing and eating multiple sticks of mixed, frozen cum
– spunk lollies – is risky? Try Delaney’s beyond-queasy recreations of
infamous NYC gay bar The Mineshaft’s ‘Wet Nights’ – Marr’s drenched,
drinks and lubricates himself with gallons of combined, STD piss!
That’s just for starters. Ever encountered the dry-heave delights of
Mysophilia, instant sexual arousal from vomit, runny turds, rank body
hygiene and putrid clothes? Repeatedly, Marr indulges in reckless sex
with the foulest, least attractive homeless men possible, manically
feasting on dicks he sees as strangely beautified by Kaposi’s sarcomas.
Appalling? Who to, maiden aunts or brain-dead Kardashian
clones? Delaney, quite rightly, is totally unrepentant in the face of
any disapproval – straight or gay – and defiantly advocates personal
excess whatever the risk.
Admirably, The Madman makes that clear from page one. ‘I do not
have AIDS’ Delaney writes, ‘I am surprised that I don’t. I have actively
had sex with other men weekly, sometimes daily – without condoms
– for the last decade and a half...’ Bravo. Don’t we all, as LGBT frontliners, have a sacred duty to step beyond the bigoted guilt, shame and
disdain of anti-gay contempt?
Understand, to fully appreciate extreme, gay artistry, it’s essential
to overcome bourgeois squeamishness, so initially, I furiously beat off
to Human Centipede and Saw torture-porn flicks. Well, who wouldn’t
– it’s a sublime alternative to Eastenders. Even so, internalising
Delaney’s relentless, immersive sleaze is tough, hardly some dreamdate orgy with Rylan and Sam Smith!
Still, respect to the man – Delaney’s hardcore, transgressive
depravity is easily on par with Mapplethorpe’s iconic bullwhip jammed
in an eager butthole. Certainly, along with Larry Kramer’s Faggots,
Delaney’s written an essential, gay survivor’s Bible, but - like rancid,
foul-tasting spunk - one that’s still truly hard to swallow!
Phew! On the fluffier side of
obscenity, treat yourself to
Spanish comic-book artist
Nazario’s stunningly crass
she-male sadist, Anarcoma.
Imagine Iggy Pop with
shocking, Dolly Parton
boobs, or Conchita Wurst
on ‘roid-rage, as perpetually
horny, private detective
Anarcoma demands to fuck
or be fucked! Believe me,
s/he’s Superman’s worst
possible nightmare, the
throbbing, insatiable cock
inside his tight red panties!

Thank Me Daddy
Just in time for father’s day! If a song has “daddy”
anywhere in the title or lyrics, I will automatically love
it. Do I have daddy issues? Maybe. I haven’t really
thought about it. Although Sigmund Freud would
probably have a field day analyzing my bookmarked
porn (how you doin’ Rocco Steele?). I don’t know
whether any of Girls Aloud have daddy issues. Let’s
not go into it. It’s a good song anyway. Tongue-incheek lyrics, guitary backing track. Proper good oldfashioned cheeky pop! You can almost hear the sound
of Sarah Harding’s mum’s jaw dropping in horror.
So, this edition of Disco, Blisters & A
Comedown is about…the best Girls Aloud
B-sides. I know. Like, I’m really scraping the
barrel now aren’t I. Oh well. THIS IS MY JOB,
OK?! I tried to be a waiter and I kept getting
fired! It’s not my fault I could only carry one
plate at a time, and that I didn’t give a shit
whether table 23 got their pumpkin ravioli.
I decided to become a fucking writer, so sit
down, shut up, and read about the three best
Girls Aloud B-sides.
Hoxton Heroes
Now THIS used to be my anthem! I first discovered
it when I lived in a squat in Camden with a bunch of
straight boys who had long shaggy hair and guitars
and bad tattoos. It could NOT have been more timely.
It’s got sassy lyrics in it like “You bought a trilby and
a cheap guitar/You thought you’d be a star/Didn’t
get you that far.” My friend Ainé and I used to play it
gleefully and swig rosé, cackling at the kitchen table
while the boys passed a joint around and scowled at
us. THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
Aren’t the B-sides always the best?! ALWAYS.
“B-side” is a bit of an invalid phrase these
days, because it referred to when you
actually physically turned the CD over to play
what was on the other side. CDs were round
shiny things that you used to put into a sort
of slot and they’d play music. Anyway. These
songs can now all be found on “Girls Aloud:
The Collection (Studio Albums/B Sides)”
which is on Spotify.
On The Metro
This so should have been a single! A proper brooding,
dangerous, urban pop statement! It’s high-octane,
with some great old-fashioned RHYMING! There’s
never rhyming in pop songs these days. At one point
Nicola croons “His moves were so ridiculous/but
he looked so meticulous/I could tell that he meant
business/gettin’ all up in mah face!” It’s probably the
closest a ginger person has ever come to actually
rapping, and it’s major!

FETiSH
IDENTIFICATION GUIDE
With Fetish Week London kicking off on Sunday 10th July, we thought it
might be wise to help any newbies discern what their fetish actually is,
before you throwing themselves headlong into their massive program
of pervy parties. There’s something for every one, so crack open the
poppers, polish your boots, tighten your cockring and get reading!
Have you ever tied
your belt a little
bit too tight and
though “this is
quite horny”? Or
maybe someone’s
playful slap has
sent blood rushing
to your crotch? If
either of them are
the case for you,
you just might be
a bit of Bondage
and BDSM. Which
is just fine, since
Fetish Week
have a Bondage
Masterclass, where
you can hone your
knot-tying, as well
as a bondage
room where you
can keep yourself
tied up.
Football, rugby,
boxing, swimming,
wrestling, cycling,
lycra, spandex,
trackies, trainers,
jockstraps, muddy
fields, sweaty pits,
group showers.
Wet yet? Because
if that’s the case,
then you might be
quite the sports
fan. We’re not
talking about some
bloated twat sitting
at home watching
the match and
tucking into a TV
dinner, we mean
that watching the
match makes you
wanna get your
fuck on. Good
news, there’s a
great place to
score and it’s
FWL’s Sports
Cruise party.
GOAL!
Puppy Play
BDSM & Bondage
Sports
Woof woof, cock your leg for me. Good boy!
Daddy’s got a meaty bone for you. Right, did any
of that give you that lovely low-down tickle? Puppy
Play is one of the fastest growing fetishes, so don’t
be surprised if you wanna get fucked like Fido too!
Best in Show is the Fetish Week event you need to
be at. A party dedicated to pups and their handlers!
Plus Full Fetish will have a pup area with turf and
toys for them to frolic in. Down boy!

QX_1110_Fetishes.indd 50
14/06/2016 18:35
Leather
Does the scent of freshly
polished cowhide get your motor
running? The feel of bare skin
against leather? The groans
of it as you move make you
let out a little groan yourself?
Fetish Week has more events
for your taste in material than
you can shake a stick at! From
Full Fetish to Deconstruction, to
FWL2016-approved party BLUF
at Backstreet, so get into it. We
mean your leather. Get into and
go to the parties. You’ll love it.
Boots and skins
Rubber & Latex
Ever rubbed out
your pencil work a
little too sensually?
Ever snapped your
marigolds a little
too vigorously?
Does the sight of
a rubber plant rub
you up the right
way? Has blowing
up a balloon ever
given you a boner?
Well rubber and
latex is probably
for you! Give it a
whirl, you get to
wear fun outfits,
and it’s all wipeclean! For if you
spill some…erm…
water on it? Or,
y’know. CUM.
Or if you’re into
watersports, piss!
We’re not beating
around the bush.
Unlike you will be.
Have you ever
walked past a
rough skinhead
in a pair of
bovver boots and
thought “Spit in
your mouth and
fuck me ‘til I cry?”
You’re not alone.
It’s actually quite
a popular fetish.
Where better to
find yourself a
shaved slut than
at SKINHEAD? It’s
like Ronseal, does
what it says on the
tin. Then does you
right up the arse.
Watersports
Is taking a peek at the urinal a sexy situation to you? Does a steaming cup
of hot piss whet your appetite? Well, you may well be into watersports. These
guys are totally into what urine to. Sorry, that pun was just laying there
begging for us to piss all over it. Full Fetish has a lovely piss room. It’s full to
the brim of bathtubs and a man-made pool, so stop by for a dirty dip.
So if any of these have tickled your pickle (or your fancy),
then check out Fetish Week London starting on
Sunday July 10th until Sunday 17th July.
Full listings and tickets can be found at www.fetishweek.com.
