The latest Pink Humanist has just gone live.
This quarter, the new(ish) electronic magazine – put out by
the Pink Triangle Trust (see panel on right) – looks at gay marriage and asks
if it really is a Nazi plot to destroy the Church.
It also looks at the scandal of Turkey’s “pink certificates”:
you have to prove you’re gay in the most humiliating ways if
that’s your way of staying out of the armed forces.
Editor Barry Duke doesn’t mince words in his column called,
well, “No Mincing Words”. Always amusing.
And there are the twin evils of fascism and Christianity in
the Ukraine.
But that’s not all: it carries an address by Britain’s first
out lesbian MP and an article that asks: “Christianity was once far more
tolerant of gay unions than at present. Truth or fiction?”
In the blog in which you’ll find the magazine posted, there’s
also Andrew John’s “Hear Me Out”, in which he has
another little spat with his uncle, the Rt Rev. Dr Perseus Flange, Bishop of
Little Piddlebed (see "Hear Me Out" up top). This time their encounter comes straight from the jaws of
hell – well, the idyllic Parish Church of St Darren, anyway.
Duke is also editor of the ancient and feisty Freethinker,
and makes reference to Perseus
Flange in a piece on the magazine’s website.

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.
