GAY STORIES
The blinding pain slams me around, flips me over. I land hard on my back. Mechanically, like a clockwork doll, I grab my arm. It's bleeding. Another explosion, this one further away, and another hail of bullets. I skitter backwards. I look and see my battalion racing forwards, fanning out through...

My wife's brother stayed with us this past summer. Originally I wasn't too keen on having this 19 year old street tough around, but as things developed, I'm glad my wife talked me into it. She's 22 and I'm 23, by the way. When Tim arrived, he looked exactly like I remembered him. Leather jacket,...

Blue Milk, everybody had to have it. The first true aphrodisiac. One
sip or mixed in another drink and the recipient was taken over by
uncontrollable lust. Yea, right. But it was the latest craze
sweeping the nation and my paper wanted a story. Kind of the latest
fad of the month fluff piece.

Labour leadership hopeful David Miliband has said government MPs must be made to fear for their seats to stop them cutting services to LGBT people.
The current forerunner in the race to lead the party was speaking to PinkPaper.com yesterday after making a stop at the gay LoProfile bar in London’s Soho on his campaign trail.
In a short speech to drinkers in the bar, Miliband, who is also Shadow Foreign Secretary, praised Labour’s record on gay issues, saying: “It is really, really important we recognise that Britain has made itself a beacon for rights in this country and around the world.”
He hinted that making a political speech in an “unusual place” like a bar was one of the ways he could modernise the party and reach out to voters. And he emphasised that he wanted to engage gays about a wide range of issues, not just queer rights. He told LoProfile punters: “I think one of the things that is important in the future is LGBT people being part of the campaign for socio and economic rights.”
He later made a similar point about engaging gay voters with general issues, telling PinkPaper.com: “It’s important when I’m speaking to you, I shouldn’t just be speaking about LGBT issues. I need to be talking to you about economics, about the health service, about jobs, about crime – general crime not just hate crime. It’s important to use [PinkPaper.com] to say we need a thriving private sector but you won’t get one if the public sector pulls the rug from under the economy.”
We started our short interview with Miliband by alerting him to possible cut backs to queer services and organisations, for example those involved in fighting hate crime. We asked what he would do to fight government cuts like that.
He told us: “I think that the principle has got to be that the most vulnerable in society must be the last to suffer from the consequences of the banking crisis. Often it’s the smallest amounts of money that can make the difference between safety and security and a sense of fear.
“Any government would have to make a difficult economic judgement about how to steer the economy. I think we made the right judgement in saying we would halve the deficit in four years, I don’t want to pretend to your readers that there wouldn’t be any cuts under Labour. But the Tories have gone for a sort of masochism, of eliminating the deficit in five years and that’s what’s leading them to have to target some of the most vulnerable in society, whether it’s the elderly and their winter fuel allowance or LGBT examples.
“The way to oppose it is to make Lib Dem MPs and Tory MPs fear for their seats, after all it’s their votes which are putting this through. We also have to prosecute an argument that there is an alternative. The most dangerous thing in politics is when the government says there is no alternative.”
He indicated it would be possible to rebuild community services, like those facing the axe, if he became prime minister, but said “it depends if we can grow the economy”.
And the former Foreign Minister defended his party’s record on gay issues since 1997. He has previously told a BBC Question Time audience that Labour’s gay rights achievements were the thing he was most proud of during their time in government.
But Miliband said: “It’s fashionable to trash the Labour record but this is one area where, why should we? We actually did massively more than we ever conceived that we would. I’m open minded about whether we could do more but let’s celebrate what we did do.”
And speaking about gay issues in the future, he said: “I think the most important thing is that we build cultural change on legal change. The fact that there is still homophobic bullying in schools etc shows that just changing the law can be the hard bit or can be the easy bit. You’ve got to make changes in society as well.”
David Miliband’s bid for the leadership has been backed by gay MPs Angela Eagle, Ben Bradshaw, Stephen Twigg and Chris Bryant, who was with him at LoProfile.
He is competing for the party’s top job with his brother Ed Miliband, who is in second place in the polls, Ed Balls, Diane Abbott and Andy Burnham. People joining the party before 8 September can vote and the result will be announced on 25 September.
