Will social media help against hate crime?
There’s been a bit of a sniffy attitude in the press towards the possibility of reporting crime on Facebook/Twitter, but I think this could be a real opportunity for us to report things as and when they happen and could also help the police build a picture of where there might be areas of concern.
Update on Terrence Higgins Trust HIV Brighton Services.

There is still a need for emotional support for those newly diagnosed and to others living with HIV for a number of years, here I update, discuss and overview all the groups and services at THT Brighton and Eastbourne.

Who’s afraid of camping it up? Me. Only one person can help.
So next weekend I am going to the GoGo Festival to see two things I love in life; women and music…I just have to get over my fear of camping. I know, I’m a lesbian who doesn’t like camping. BUT from viewing the GoGo festival website the team at GoGo have made it very easy [...]
You. Utter. Bastard.
The lies which make up THIS blog breed doubt in any others of similar nature. The next time we read an apparently earnest, heartfelt cry for help from an LGBTQ person in such a regime, we will hesitate and wonder. And apathy will be more likely.
