LGBT and Sport: A Blog of Two Halves.
LGBT and Sport: A Story of Two Halves. I really look forward to the day when words like, brave, shocked or courageous are no longer used when sportsperson tells the public that their sexuality isn’t heterosexual. Having watched the Channel Four programme, Britain’s Gay footballers (a misleading title as apparently there aren’t any) saw Amal [...]
The L Project’s single ‘It Does Get Better’ released TODAY! Zhoosh interviews co-creator Sofia Antonia Milone
The support The L-Project has gained since it began last year has been phenominal (even DIVA has got involved!). When you started out did you ever think it would become this big?
I think honestly, though we had very big ambitions, and knew the community should and would want to get behind the project because it’s so obviously a worthy one, we have been quite overwhelmed by the backing and support we’ve received from not only the the gay media as you mention, but the online social pages like WHOF (Wipeout Homophobia on Facebook). The internet has been our friend, and we’ve made a great many of them on it.

The L-Project, Update and Behind the Scenes footage
Zhoosh has been keeping a close eye on the L-Project since it’s birth last summer. The project, created by Georgey Payne from UK lesbian band Greymatter and Sofia Antonia Milone (GeEkgiRL) is based around a single to raise awareness and money for charities that work to combat homophobic bullying against young people.
The L Project is gathering growing support from both gay and straight communities across the UK and beyond. “The enthusiasm is amazing!” says Georgey Payne,”we’re finding that most people know of, or have been affected by this issue, and just want to join in and help in whatever way they can
Jonah Mowry bullying video goes viral
Scrolling down the comments below the video in YouTube, I was shocked at what had been written: “fake” and just simply “homo.” Well, yes, he is homosexual. Your point exactly? Someone even criticised the spelling in the video. How or why is that relevant? Another smugly remarked: “What a waste of paper.” As exceptionally funny as that is (please note my sarcasm here) it is also a ridiculous insult to a very simple yet clever video.

Mental Health & Wellbeing
All of us from time to time will have days when we just can’t find a smile to put on our face. Having a blue day, feeling under the weather, (particularly if that weather is stormy and grey) a bit depressing. Thankfully the majority of the time we find that by the end of the [...]
Stand up to LGBT Bullying
When I wrote about Jamie Rodemeyer taking his own life after years of being bullied at school for being bisexual, in the back of my head I really believed that the children who had targeted him would wake up to their words of hate and realise that they had been the cause of a 14 [...]
