Managing editor of Boyz magazine and new Lesbian and Gay News publication

[PandorasMailbox]

"The censorious groupthink of a LGBTQIA+ mindset has closed down wider discussion and investigation. It has closed down much responsible lesbian and gay current affairs and commentary. But now we hope Lesbian and Gay News will help resurrect that journalism. We’re gradually lining up an impressive range of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender writers and journalists plus we’ll be introducing you to The Lesbian and Gay Conversation, a special subscribers area for our readers to debate, discuss and meet each other in a safe and secure online space.

I’ve been running Boyz magazine for 30 years, but before that I co-edited The Pink Paper with the late Alison Dilly. I’m proud that our journalism is grounded in our shared lesbian and gay community history. It’s a way to understand the place we are today.

We aim to use this experience, and much more, to help develop Lesbian and Gay News into a website that you'll enjoy reading and contributing to - without fear, censorship or threats"

This sounds very much needed!

Just goes to show that telling people to ‘educate themselves’ actually has the opposite desired effect what with Boyz and Sall Hughes of Giggle.

Awaiting the cries of "hate group" from penis news...

Best of luck to David, his team and the new magazine. Well done for speaking up too.

Best of luck David. They bullied you over the edge and you've created something that's much needed. Hope it's a great success.

Well that's a positive development. I'll be subscribing.

Too many lesbians, bisexuals and gay men are now fearful of expressing their opinions. Too many more are constrained in both their personal and professional lives even from exploring some of the issues our communities are wrestling with. That's hardly surprising when decent longtime allies are shamelessly traduced in the public space, rather than engaged. And no one's mind will be changed by debate if debate is forbidden in the first place

How very true.

This.

Good luck to David and the new publication.

Aye.

Fabulous.

Much respect.

It's also great that so many gay men and lesbians are joining the LGB Alliance. The trans lobby have overplayed their hand and are now paying the price.
