PETITION
Anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps has announced intentions to erect a monument
to Matthew Shepard, the gay college student brutally murdered five years
ago near Laramie, USA.
Phelps says the monument would be 5 to 6 feet tall and made of marble
or granite. It would bear a bronze plaque bearing the image of Shepard
and have an inscription reading "MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October
12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind
as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22."
The monument would be erected in downtown Casper (Wyoming), Shepard's
home town. Phelps has sent details of the monument to the city of Casper
city council and there may be nothing the city can do to prevent it.
Phelps told Casper council in his letter that if it attempts to prevent
him from erecting the homophobic monument he's prepared to go to court.

OOOH-LA-LA
Not a gratuitous body shot! It’s for a good cause - rugby. Every
year the French national rugby team appears in the Stade Francais calendar; ‘Dieux
du Stade’. And every year it gets more and more homoerotic. Nice.
Featured above (with the tat.) is Frederic Michalak who recently proved
himself during the World Cup in Australia.
The Stade Francais site has the calendar for sale and a ‘making
of’ DVD, which IS gratuitous.

MILLIONAIRE
Have you got millionaire potential? The BBC, following a recent documentary,
asks the questions that give an insight into your abilities to accrue
the cash. “How much sleep do you like a night?”, “What
is your attitude when playing games or sport?” and “How would
you most like to be remembered?” all add to a final score. The
documentary featured self-made millionaires who shared many characteristics.
One of which was a need to control all aspects of their lives, including
their nearest and dearest. There was also an overwhelming desire to make
more money, regardless of the security and dosh already there. Guess
money isn’t everything right? RIGHT?

is a partnership project representing the LGBT community
in Scotland. Views expressed are not necessarily those of the partners. However,
if they're witty, intelligent and insightful - they probably are. If you flicked
through this mag, saw a photie and made an assumption about someone's sexuality
- then you're about ten years behind what we're trying to do here. Click the
mag off and walk away. Accurate at going online time, but hey, we didn't get
this sarky without making mistakes.
