Rainbow Rising
Spiritual liberation is the missing element in the modern journey of LGBTIQ+ people around the world. Coming out about our sexuality or gender identity results from our need to be true to ourselves, we listen to our souls and from the soul comes the courage to be who we are. The same principle applies to…
FAERIE! Know Thyself! Be Thyself!
Oscar Wilde: ‘Know thyself’ was written over the portal of the antique world. Over the portal of the new world, ‘Be thyself’ shall be written. Harry Hay: Faeries everywhere must begin to stand tall and beautiful in the sun. Faeries must begin to throw off the filthy green frog-skin of Hetero-imitation and discover the lovely…
ANTI-LGBTQ+ CRACKDOWN IN TURKEY
Under the guise of ‘protecting the family’ the government of Turkey has initiated a nation-wide coordinated attack on the freedom of same sex attracted and gender-nonconforming people. Never mentioned is the fact that queer children are born in, raised in, and are part of family structure, and of course always have been. This kind of…
Why do Benders love Divas?
Why do benders love divas?… was the question posed at a highly enjoyable Sunday afternoon Duckie event at London’s Royal Festival Hall (20/9/2026)… but unfortunately while the question was posed it was not really addressed and definitely not answered! The afternoon was good entertainment – a panel discussion about the adoration of powerful women (and…
Pride Triumphs!
It seems there’s no more effective catalyst to get the LGBTQ+ community on the streets expressing our passion, our pride, our love than challenge. The AIDS crisis was a key factor in birthing the globally connected network we have now, in the UK Clause 28 mobilised us in the 1990s to form stronger community bonds…
AIDS Survivors Syndrome
“…the most common features of ASS (AIDS Survivors Syndrome): extreme emotional pain, trauma, and depression; survivor’s guilt and low self-esteem; suicidal ideation; anger, over-guardedness, and chronic anxiety; social isolation; fear of aging; and difficulty envisioning a future.” The media love to focus on suffering: “An entire generation of AIDS survivors is now struggling with a…
‘This House Believes modern LGBTQ+ activism fails its community’
I watched the Cambridge Union debate from May 14th, 2026 on the theme: ‘This House Believes modern LGBTQ+ activism fails its community’. An introduction to me: I read history at Churchill College, Cambridge from 1983-6, coming out of the closet half way through my final year – and still somehow managing to graduate despite spending…
All Acts of Love and Pleasure are THEIR Rituals
I propose it’s time to update the Charge of the Goddess for in humanity there is a desperate need to reconnect to the immaculate Wholeness which exists beyond the gender binary and go beyond the historical definitions of male and female deities. When God was seen as Mother the people saw humanity as her children…
Rainbow Consciousness
When conflicts that arise between the various identities in the LGBTIQ+ spectrum it suits the patriarchal control system well — divide and rule has long been its way. How about we blast away that old pattern, and seek for the deeper reason that we find ourselves walking with Pride under one rainbow. I have been…
Gayness as a Spirit Path
“The sense of gayness as a Spirit path is growing. As we break out of straight mind-bindings we naturally recoil from seeing ourselves and each as either mono-sided homo-sexualists or homo-oriented straights… for many of us come revelations of feminist thought/ practice: we discover women exposing, breaking free of sado-slavery into whirling fiery gyn-ecstacies of…
