And what talent they have lined up! Headlining on the Main Stage is the fabulous MOBO winning, Brit nominated Rita Ora, performing her three No. 1 singles taken from her No. 1 album, ‘Hot Right Now,’ ‘R.I.P,’ ‘How We Do (Party).’ Other acts include our very own Danny Hilton Music, fresh from his smashing gig at last month’s Miami Beach Pride. He’ll be performing his debut track ‘Loving You (For The Last Time),’ for the first time on home soil. Danny said: “I’ve always dreamed about playing a big UK festival – I can’t believe it’s just around the corner. I’m still sorting out my set list, but London, you’ll be in for a few surprises! It’s going to be great to see so many old friends, fans and supporters. If you’ve not got your ticket yet, hurry!” Danny will be on the Main Stage at 3pm.

From Pink News UK: First Gay Pride March in Kiev, Ukraine

0

Despite a ban by a local court, more than a hundred LGBT rights activists held the first gay pride demonstration in the capital of Kiev.

The event was relatively peaceful despite the attempts by a very small number of individuals to disrupt the occasion.

“This can be considered a historic day,” Elena Semyonova one of the organizers told reporters after the activists held a 20-minute-long march along a street near the center of the Ukrainian capital.

Witnesses noticed the sober dress of activists who were advised to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that would make their escape easier in the event of an attack by anti-gay protestors or the police.

“Human rights are my pride,” chanted the protestors that included delegations from Scandinavia and the Netherlands.

The peaceful protest was maintained by a heavy police presence surrounding the pro-equality demonstrators.

The district court of Kiev on Thursday made the ruling to ban the gay pride demonstration. The court upheld a lawsuit by city authorities, who had argued that the rally could cause disturbance to annual Kiev Day celebrations, and could set off violence in the city.

Organizers last year cancelled the event at the last minute, as anti-gay protesters gathered at the planned location for the rally, and had intended to attack participants. Subsequently, members of radical groups attacked two leading gay activists.

This news comes shortly after Amnesty International published a report urging the Ukrainian Government to introduce legislation to tackle discrimination based on gender identity and sexual orientation, following a number of attacks.

Last week, a bill to protect gay Ukrainian workers from discrimination based on their sexual orientation was dropped by the country’s parliament, as hundreds of anti-gay protesters gathered to demonstrate against it.

The Ukrainian foreign minister, Leonid Kozhara, promised in February that the country would soon ban all anti-gay discrimination in an interview with a Polish newspaper.

Ukraine is currently governed by the Party of Regions political party who is strongly pro-Russia. Russia is currently passing laws which restrict the freedoms of LGBT citizens, something that the Ukrainian Parliament also examined.

In a 2007 poll 5.7% of Ukrainians said that “gay lifestyles” were acceptable and only 4.7% of Ukrainians stated that they thought same-sex marriage in the country was a priority.

Guy-PS: Navigating the Week Ahead

0

We Didn’t Start the Fire: The big news this week was to be the re-opening of the Fire Island Pines Pavilion, all set for the Memorial Day Weekend festivities. Turns out the grand opening has been delayed for one more week. Disappointing, yes, but at least it will give the organizers a chance to re-send my Opening Party e-vite, which I’m certain must have gone to my Spam folder! Isn’t that right, Bobby Bonanno? Check their facebook page for updates.

pavillion 2010 summerwill David come?

Best Bette: Too rainy and cold to hit the beach? Hit Broadway and see The Divine Miss M as Sue Mengers in the divine I’ll Eat You Last. Read my review, here, then f*** over anyone you need to in order to get tickets before it closes on June 30. Mengers and Midler would be proud. Best bet is www.telecharge.com. 1366308649

All About Eva: Speaking of diva worship, I finally had a chance to see Patti Issues at the Duplex cabaret. Every critic has been raving about the one-man show—drama’s toughest reviewer, Miss Lupone herself, apparently loves the play—and I had tons of fun too. Ben Rimalower’s story is more than just a spoof or camp show. It’s a true, Sandra Bernhard-esque story of childhood and coming out and aspirations, all wrapped around a woman named Patti. Click here for details.

Really, Rosie? Ever since her wonderful sitcom I’ve wanted an audience with Roseanne Bar. I think I’ll frame her sweet Tweet on the wall. (So Proud!)

A movie only THIS man could enjoy?

Head Ache: Movie-wise, the big flick this week is The Hangover 3. Since I’m not an official film reviewer I can only offer up “3″ other things that might be more fun than the pain this “comedy” inflicts: A.) Sticking needles through your eyes. B.) Stapling your lips together. C.) Guantanamo!

London Calling: Abroad or just a broad, if you’re in London, make sure you hit As One in the Park. GuySpy will be there, well, some of us (ahem!), and the line-up includes Frankie Goes to Hollywood lead singer Holly Johnson, Rita Ora, and our very own Danny Hilton. Read about the festival here!
