“You want to shove those words back in and put the lid on. But you can’t. Your child is gay. This goes against everything you’ve been taught. It was not what you had in mind, and you instantly wonder where you went wrong.”
When you develop a parent, you comprehend to expect the unexpected. But for many Christian parents, nothing can make ready them to hear that their beloved child is gay. This is the child you have cradled, spoon fed mashed bananas, and dreamed a charming future for. How could this be? What will the church say? What will your friends say? What does the future hold? You can’t even get your head around this.
If you are a Christian parent, family member or friend to whom your loved one has come out as homosexual or lesbian, then this is for you.
I encourage you to sit down, relax, maybe get a cup of tea, and soak in what I’m about to tell you. My hope is to guide you as we walk for a bit through this maze of confusion, to help you find your way to wholeness. In many Christian circles, this is not good news, and you may begin to spiral into reflection and self-searching. We’ll get to that. But at the bottom of it all, this is not about you. Most parents’ first mistake is to mak

Fall on Your Knees For Julian Clary
Paul Baker looks back at the surprisingly pro-LGBT Big Brother, and celebrates recent Julian Clary’s win of Celebrity Huge Brother 2012.

Since the aging ‘reality’ television programme shifted channels from 4 to 5, it appears to have gone even more downmarket, yet even truer to George Orwell’s view of a dystopian society, distracted from the real political issues into hating irrelevant puppet figures.
When the programme started, there was a lot of high-minded stuff about how it was a ‘social experiment’. But these days, it’s basically an train in how a small group of producers can believe of ways to mentally torture and humiliate a home of willing captives (often gunging them in green liquid), all for our televisual fun.
If the captives get along, they are made to nominate each other for eviction face-to-face. If they still get along, Big Brother will repeat whispered conversations, lancing any festering secret hatreds. Unless contestants have behaved impeccably during their time in the house (e.g. not being ‘fake’
