FUTURE SEX: THE END OF GAY?
The annual season of LGBTI Pride celebrations in many countries is drawing to close. It is time to blow our whistles but also to pause and reflect.

LET’S TALK ABOUT SEX BABY, LET’S TALK ABOUT HIV…
One of my favourite sitcom quotes comes from Will & Grace when Karen tries to coax Jack into sleeping with Beverly (Lesley Jordan) for money. “Oh you’ll do it.

For most it is a significant experience, but for some it can be unbearable. Andile Sonwabo from Gugulethu said that his circumcision experience caused him to want to commit […]
MAMBA SPINS: MICHAEL JACKSON, MARIAH CAREY, LILY ALLEN & MORE
MICHAEL JACKSON – XSCAPE The King of Pop might have passed away in 2009 but his music is still alive and well, thanks to this, his second posthumous album. Hang the heck on: aren’t posthumous albums a shameless money-making sham with poorly-composed and half-finished tracks (I hear you cry…)? And normally the answer is a […]
