Pink Humanist #2 online now
The UK gay Humanist charity, the Pink Triangle
Trust – owner of this blog – has announced the publication of the second issue of its online
magazine The Pink Humanist. The first issue appeared online last December.The PTT says in a press release:
“The Pink Humanist is an LGBT magazine for Atheists, Humanists, Sceptics and
Freethinkers and is the only one of its kind worldwide. It is edited by Barry
Duke, a co-founder of the UK Gay & Lesbian
Humanist Association (GALHA) in 1979 and a long-standing editor of The
Freethinker, the voice of atheism in the UK since 1881.
“In
the latest issue journalist Andy Armitage [your humble blogger] writes about Godly quacks persisting
in promoting harmful and discredited ‘gay cure’ therapies. Other contributors
include veteran gay activist and human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell who
poses the question ‘After homophobia, what next?’, Brett Humphreys, a
mathematician who writes a penetrating article about Alan Turing in the
centenary year of this gay atheist code-breaker’s birth, and an Albanian gay
activist who shows how this once ultra homophobic communist country has taken a
leap into the 21st century.”
We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.
Feedback about The Pink Humanist is very welcome concerning the content, layout and readability.
