Allsorts Youth Project recognises International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia
This year the theme for IDAHOBIT is ‘global voices against homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying in schools.’ This theme is particularly poignant for the young people at Allsorts Youth Project who either attend school, or have done very recently. With this in mind Allsorts has launched a campaign asking LGBT young people to share their experiences and ideas on how schools could be made safer for LGBT young people.
LGBTQ Brighton & Hove Facebook Fan Pages – A complete list
Each month Ignite Social Media produces a chart ranking the top 50 branded Facebook Fan pages, which I always enjoy taking a look at. As an aggregator of Brighton & Hove LGBTQ information, I thought I’d do a similar task for Zhoosh. I’m interested because I use the internet a lot as an LGBTQ individual [...]

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 a 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 [...]
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.

Happy 60th Birthday Peter Tatchell
Happy 60th Birthday Peter Tatchell. To some, Peter Tatchell is the People’s Protester, to other’s he is an annoyance, for this author he is a hero. Citing his constant campaigns for human rights, highlighting environmental issues with his role as the Green Party’s Parliamentary candidate for Oxford East, and for being the one man brave [...]
Update on LGBT HIP
LGBT HIP have some exciting news to share regarding developments with the project in 2012. Originally, they were just focused on consulting with LGBT people on health issues. However, Brighton and Hove City Council have become interested in their work and have decided to support the project too – hence the change of name. They’ll still be LGBT HIP [...]
Homophobic Tweet
The way we can now all communicate via social networks, like Facebook, Twitter etc has opened the world to some great debates as well as some really banal tweets. I’m still puzzled why Stephen Fry’s tweet that he was stuck in a lift a few years back made the Six O Clock news, I guess [...]
