item description

Editorial

Much of the world seems destined to become God-damned. Whether it's gay murder legislation in Uganda and Rwanda, the mess in the Middle East or the creeping Islamisation of Britain and Europe.

Feedback What you think about G&LH.
Gaytheist

Welcome to the new Gaytheist list, run by the Pink Triangle Trust.

Gaytheist is an uncensored discussion group for gay and gay-friendly straight atheists, agnostics and freethinkers who want to discuss matters of interest.

News Watch Andy Armitage takes a look at whats been happening in the news recently.
World Watch George Broadhead casts a global eye over the world’s news.
On the Blog

We take our regular look at what’s been happening on the Pink Triangle blog.

Blogwatch

For “Blogwatch” this time, we invited Alvin McEwen to talk about his blog – and book of the same name – Holy Bullies and Headless Monsters. Here he breaks down the lies of the American religious right.

Goddamned

As a little seasonal treat for our readers, we are giving away a copy of Jay Brannans excellent album Goddamned.

Freethought?

What is freethought? And who qualifies as a freethinker? It’s easy to label people, although they may not agree with the label that’s been chosen for them. Here, in our occasional column on Freethought, Warren Allen Smith shares a few examples of individuals in Philosopedia who have been described by various “freethinking” labels.

Islam

Roy W Brown examines how our freedoms are under threat as creeping Islamisation demands more and more, putting our very way of life in jeopardy.

Nigeria

When  human rights are threatened, religion isn’t far away, no more so than in Nigeria, where activist Leo Igwe suffered at the hands of fanatics in the summer. Here, he tells us of his ordeal.

Uganda

Many would like to see the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill killed off. But will it happen? And why are so many Christians silent on the issue? Christian writer and activist Symon Hill looks at the issues in an article written before the Archbishop of Canterbury finally spoke out.

God and Father Christmas

What does Christmas mean to you? Has Christianity for most of us been shrugged off as a childish concern, like Santa Claus? Neil Richardson dishes up some seasonal thoughts.

Atheist Xmas

There are many reasons why atheists and other nonbelievers celebrate “Christmas”. Here, Zack Ford tells us why he loves this holiday period.

Rainbow Humanists

It’s been a busy year for the Stockholm-based Nordic Rainbow Humanists. Bill Schiller reports.

Museums

A recent presentation to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the publishers Thames and Hudson, held at the London School of Economics, saw discussion on recent exciting developments in the function of museums. Here, Ian Stewart tells us something about it.

PrideWide

It’s cold and damp out there (or out here in the UK at least). So, to warm your cockles, Martin Lewis casts his eyes back to a few summer Pride events.

Out of Print

Here is another in our series of reprints of articles from earlier issues of the print version of G&LH.

This article by Antony Grey about gay law reform in the UK first appeared in G&LH, Winter 2002.

Airings

Always one to engage with the bad boys, Stephen Blake recently came across the film Shank, the latest offering from TLA Releasing.

Steven Dean

Steven Dean thinks that today's TV viewing has never been better. Just take a look at what he and his gran watch and you can see why!

Toons

This months selection of topical ’toons.

Letters

Roy Saitch takes the BBC and Open University to task over yet more biased TV promotion of Christianity.
