Anti-gay Republican Newt Gingrich showered in glitter

Anti-gay Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich was covered in glitter by a gay rights campaigner at a book signing yesterday.

Mr Gingrich and his wife Callista were in Minnesota for a dinner with the Minnesota Family Council when protester Nick Espinosa struck.

As he emptied the box of rainbow glitter over the couple’s heads, Mr Espinosa said: “Feel the rainbow, Newt. Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It’s dividing our country and it’s not fixing our economy.”

According to Sky News, Mr Gingrich smiled and replied: “Nice to live in a free country.”

Mr Gingrich is a strong supporter of California’s gay marriage ban and has declared that America suffers from “gay and secular fascism”.”

In 2008, he told Fox News: “There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it.”

Last year, Mr Espinosa targeted Republican gubernational candidate Tom Emner for his views on immigration. Mr Emner, who stood for Minnesota, had 2,000 pennies poured over him.

Speaking to ABC News last night, he explained why he covered Mr Gingrich in glitter.

“I think glitter’s fun,” he said. “I think it was a nice makeover for his campaign. And in fact if he needs anymore glitter, I have some left over.”

Video: Jake Gyllenhaal on all those gay rumours

Jake Gyllenhaal has joked that he understands why some people think he’s gay.

Speaking on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Brokeback Mountain star revealed people had mistaken his childhood best friend for his lover.

The actor said: “Me and my best friend have known each other since we were six and I took him to a lot of award ceremonies when Brokeback Mountain was doing the awards circuit.

“So once we were in London and he was helping me knot my tie and my publicist and a reporter walked in. And they were like, ‘We are so sorry, we did not mean to interrupt you guys. And we were like, ‘What? No!’”Gyllenhaal added that his friend’s enthuastic reaction to his Bafta win also raised eyebrows.

“He shouted, ‘Yeah baby!’,” he said. “And literally, everyone was like, ‘Did he just call him baby?’”

Video: Danish gay porn star makes pop debut

by Stephen Gray

Many porn stars in the past have attempted the leap from film to music with varying success, and Carsten Andersson has already been enjoying widespread exposure in Europe.

His debut single ‘Fun’ has been a top ten hit in Scandinavia, and is produced by Zebra 1, the London-based team behind the Sugababes.

The 25-year-old told Frontiers Web: “Without my porn past, I’d be just another boy with a song out. Porn has made people take notice.”

The Danish-German former porn star joins Traci Lords, Zeb Atlas and Jeff Stryker in adding music to his quiver.

He applied for last year’s Eurovision contest, but Andersson is currently courting some controversy by doubting Lady Gaga’s credentials.

He said of the pop star: “Most things I see from her seem copied from artists of the past.”

Carsten Andersson started his porn career using the pseudonym Ashton Sorenson, and most recently worked with Michael Lucas’s Lucas Entertainment studio.

Video: George Osborne’s ‘pantomime dame’ jibe

The Chancellor, George Osborne, was accused of being “homophobic” by out gay Labour MP Chris Bryant yesterday for joking that the latter was a “pantomime dame”.

Mr Bryant, the MP for Rhondda, said afterwards: “I don’t think he would have said that phrase if I was not gay.

“I think when he gets back to the office he will probably think to himself ‘I should send a little note saying sorry, I didn’t mean to offend’.

“We all get it wrong sometimes and I think he got it wrong this time,” he added.

Mr Osborne’s aides said he had merely been making a Christmas joke after Mr Bryant accused him of being “Baron Hardup”.

Mother of gay suicide teen pleads for anti-bullying action

The mother of a California teenager who killed himself after he was bullied for being gay has pleaded with his school district to do more about the problem.

Seth Walsh, 13, died nine days after hanging himself in September. He had endured years of homophobic bullying at school.

His mother Wendy and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) have asked Tehachapi school district to prevent another tragedy.

In a letter sent yesterday, they asked the school district to work with them and demanded that changes be made.

Mrs Walsh has also recorded a video (see below) about her son.

She said that teachers did not seem to care that her son was badly bullied and had done nothing to stop the harassment.

She said: “Seth told me he was gay when he was in the sixth grade. He was a wonderful, loving child, and I loved him for who he was.

“I can’t bring my son back. But schools can make a difference today to keep this from happening to any more young people. Schools need to take harassment and bullying seriously when parents or students tell them about it, and when they see it in the halls.”

According to Seth’s mother and close friends, some teachers even joined in the bullying. One allegedly called him “fruity” in front of a class of students.

Mrs Walsh said her son was a clever student but his grades had fallen as the harassment intensified. She said teachers were aware he was suffering but did not respond to her pleas for something to be done.


His friends said he had become depressed and frightened about using the bathroom or boys’ changing room before gym class.

He was taunted with abuse such as “fag” and “queer”, they said.

Seth hanged himself from a tree in the family garden on September 17th. He left a note criticising his school for not helping him and died in hospital on September 28th.

An investigation carried out by the ACLU said that school district officials were aware of the bullying but “largely ignored” it.

California law requires schools to protect students from harassment based on sexual orientation and the US Department of Education has also launched an investigation of the school district.

The ACLU says that at least 11 LGBT teenagers have killed themselves after suffering bullying in the last few months.

“Students have the right to be safe and supported at school for being exactly who they are. And parents deserve to know that their kids are going to school in a respectful environment where they are nurtured to reach their full potential,” said Elizabeth Gill, staff attorney with the ACLU LGBT Project and the ACLU of Northern California.

“Public schools have a duty to protect students from harassment based on sexual orientation, but too many schools get a failing grade in this respect.”

Video: House of Representatives votes to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ gay military ban

The House of Representatives has for the second time passed a bill to overturn the US’s military’s ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy that bans military personnel from being openly gay.

The vote, which was was 250 to 175, pressurises the Senate to delay its recess for Christmas in order to vote to repeal or keep the law. In January, those senators and congressmen elected in the mid-term elections held last month, will be sworn into office, with more Republicans in office, diminishing hopes of finally ending the ban.

“It’s been a long time coming, but now is the time for us to act,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democrats) said prior to the vote. “We know our first responsibility as elected officials. We take an oath of office to protect and defend, and our first responsibility is to protect the American people, to keep them safe. We should honor the service of all who want to contribute to that security.”

Yesterday, the head of the marines said that repealing the law would lead to the death of troops troops. “When your life hangs on a line, on the intuitive behaviour of the young man … who sits to your right and your left, you don’t want anything distracting you,” said Marine Commandant General James Amos.

“I don’t want to lose any Marines to distraction. I don’t want to have any Marines that I’m visiting at Bethesda [hospital] with no legs,” he added.

“When your life hangs on the line, you don’t want anything distracting. . . . Mistakes and inattention or distractions cost Marines’ lives. That’s the currency of this fight.”

But senior military officials including the Defense Secretary Robert Gates support the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’.




In May, the House of Representatives voted 234-194, in favour of repealing the ban. This was followed by the Senate Armed Services Committee who followed the same path and voted 16-12 in favour of axing the law. In both cases, the measure was offered as an amendment to a defence spending bill

But, the hopes to repeal the law have been continually blocked in the Senate, mainly on procedural grounds. Just last week, a bill failed to get the 60 votes needed for a debate to be initiated.

A new bill, focused purely on the repeal of ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ has been introduced by Senator Susan Collins and former Vice-Presidential candidate Senator Joe Lieberman. The vote in the House of Representatives, puts enormous pressure on the Senate to debate the issue this weekend, before the recess.

Video: Former president Jimmy Carter says America ready for gay president

Jimmy Carter, who served as president of the United States of America between 1977 and 1981, has told the BigThink project that his country is ready for a gay president.
Asked whether he thought the country was ready for a gay person to serve as president he replied: “I think the entire population of America has come tremendous strides forward in dealing with the issue of gays. And I would say that the answer is yes.”

He added: “I don’t know about the next election, but I think in the near future. Because step-by-step we have realised that this issue of homosexuality has the same adverse and progressive elements as when we dealt with the race issue 50 years ago… or 40 years ago.

“So I would say that the country is getting acclimated to a president who might be female, who might obviously, now be black and who might be as well, a gay person. Yes, I would say the answer is, yes.”

Video: David Cameron calls for an end to stigma related to HIV and AIDS

In a video for message for World AIDS Day, the prime minister, David Cameron has called on the media and faith groups to help tackle the stigma associated with HIV and AIDS.

Mr Cameron spoke of the collaborations that the Government is making with the Terrence Higgins Trust and the African Health Network to target at those most at risk of HIV and AIDS. He also pointed out that 6,500 people in the UK were diagnosed with HIV in the past year.

Mr Cameron said: “We have made a lot of progress in fighting HIV and AIDS so far and I believe that by working together, we can help reduce the stigma, reduce the number of new infections and enable those living with HIV to lead full productive and happy lives.

He added: “tackling the stigma that comes with HIV and Aids is not just a job for government alone. It means those in the media sending out responsible messages, it means role models and well-known figures lending their support to the cause, it means community groups and faith groups doing their bit to spread the message about prevention and testing in the local area.”

Last week, Mr Cameron called on the gay community to tackle the rates of HIV infection and diagnosis. “One area where progress has not been good enough is infection rates. Over the last ten years, they have actually increased,” he wrote.

“You need to support each other in avoiding the virus. You still need to practice safe sex. You need to test and to know your HIV status,” he wrote. ” And as a society we need to continue to fight prejudice and stigma, especially as they can be a barrier to testing and treatment.

“I talk a lot about responsibility when it comes to my politics. And this World AIDS Day it’s important everyone thinks about the responsibility they have towards themselves, their partners and the wider community. Only together can we fight and then beat HIV and AIDS.”In his own message, Labour leader Ed Miliband wrote: “Despite the huge strides that have been made in medical treatment for HIV over the last two decades, knowledge about how HIV is transmitted is now lower than it was ten years ago.

“And the sad reality is that HIV stigma and discrimination are still an issue for many people. One in three people with the virus say they have experienced discrimination because of their HIV status. People with HIV report facing discrimination at work, at school, and even in healthcare settings – this is unfair, and unacceptable.”

Video: Prime minister David Cameron tells bullied gay kids ‘things will get better’

Prime minister David Cameron has added his voice to a campaign to support bullied gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans youngsters.

Mr Cameron recorded a video message for gay charity Stonewall in which he urged bullied teens to talk to someone about their problems.

In the message, which went online just after the Conservative Party suspended a councillor accused of homophobia, Mr Cameron said: “You don’t have to struggle on dealing with this on your own. Whether it’s your mum or your dad, or teachers, family friends or people who care about you and want to help you. Speak to them and you’ll feel so much better.

He added: “Britain is a diverse, open, tolerant place. This is not the sort of country where we label people for being different.”

Mr Cameron listed some of the progress made for gay equality and added: “Now, of course, there’s more to be done, which is why this government is working hard to drive homophobic bullying out of our schools.

“But overall, Britain is a place where you can be who you want to be and we should celebrate that.

“Talk to someone – if you do, things really will get better today.”

Today, the Conservative Party suspended a Bristol councillor who said he was “disturbed” that gay actor Sir Ian McKellen was visiting local schools to talk about homophobic bullying.

Chris Windows said he was not homophobic and that such issues should remain in the bedroom.

Video: Madonna tells Ellen ‘We’re torturing gay teenagers’

Madonna has spoken out against homophobic bullying, calling it “torture”.

She appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday by video-link.

The superstar, referring to an apparent spate of suicides among gay teenagers, said: “The concept that we are torturing teenagers because they are gay – it’s unfathomable.

“It’s like lynching black people or Hitler exterminating Jews. Sorry if I’m going on a rampage right now but this is America. The land of the free and the home of the brave.”

Madonna said that she could relate to teenagers who feel isolated because of their sexuality or gender identity.

“I still feel different,” she said. “I can totally relate to the idea of feeling isolated and alienated. I was incredibly lonely as a child, as a teenager. I have to say I never felt like I fit in in school.”

She said she was taken to a gay disco by a gay ballet teacher, who “told me it was good and okay to be different…and ironically made me feel I was part of the world and it was okay to be different”.

The star also thanked the gay community for backing her.

The gay community “has been incredibly supportive of me” she said. “I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for the gay community.”
