Politics  Political Articles CYPRUS’ gay community is up in arms after a politician apparently branded them as social deviants. DISY deputy Andreas Themistocleous stirred up a hornet’s nest when he seemingly likened homosexuality to pedophilia, bestiality and necrophilia. The Internet is abuzz with reaction from gay groups and sympathisers, including a dedicated group on Facebook attacking Themistocleous. The group, set up only last week, is already 850 strong and counting. Among others, the deputy is called a racist, a chauvinist and a homophobic. Κάνε σχόλιο | Events  Events Sappho is Reborn There's a one woman show about to open at the Malthouse in Melbourne about the iconic Greek poetess Sappho, both written and starring Jane Montgomery Griffiths. This will not be its first season, and by all accounts, looking at the previous glowing reviews, this remounting should be a great success. Κάνε σχόλιο |

On July 20, 2010, the Australian Film Classification Board denied permission for L.A. Zombie, the new film by Canadian director Bruce LaBruce, to be shown at the Melbourne International Film Festival. By refusing to grant a festival exemption to the film, the Classification Board has not only prevented it from playing at the Melbourne Festival but has severely damaged the possibility of future screenings and distribution throughout the continent.

Safesex  Lesbians & Pornography Lesbians & Pornography Maria Cyber: my opinion on lesbian pornography and my photography. I have always distanced myself from the old feminist opinions that a woman can only derive pleasure from sex through a tender touch or a gentle kiss and expression of emotions. Κάνε σχόλιο | Articles  Proud Voice Portrait of a Cyberdyke in the 80s ‘Lesbian’…I first heard that word when I was 10 years old. We were playing a game about who knows the most curse words and even though the score was a tie that word made all the difference. I protested, “I don’t know that word! It doesn’t count, what does it even mean?” Κάνε σχόλιο |
