‘Hard to spot and easy to miss,’ that’s veteran activist Peter Tatchell’s take on the LGBT presence at the London Olympics.

If he’s right, it’ll be a sad irony. Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people seem to have been integral to winning the games for London (diversity was a key part of the bid to the International Olympic Committee) and gay individuals and businesses will also play a big role in delivering the games.

Britain’s leading gay media have appealed for their readers to take part in the government’s consultation on same-sex marriage before it’s too late.

It is just a month to go before the consultation on how to introduce same-sex marriage equality ends.

Most people in Britain support the change but the so far it seems the biggest response has come from religious opponents to equality.

The joint statement reads:

Out gay actor and author Stephen Fry is the latest high profile figure to record a Proud2Be video.

Several gay politicians, celebrities and organisations have uploaded Proud2Be videos to combat gay-shame and encourage all LGBT people to be proud of who they are.

'Part of life to learn what to be ashamed of and what to be proud of,' said British gay comedian Stephen Fry. 'I won't ever apologize for being born the way I was and feeling the way I do.'

The Archbishop Antonio Mennini, the Pope’s representative in Britain, is urging all Christians, Jews, and Muslims to unite against gay marriage.

In a statement made to Catholic bishops from England and Wales, the Apolistic Noncio called for closer co-operation with other faiths in fighting government plans to legalise gay marriage.

At a meeting in Leeds held yesterday (27 April), he said: ‘I wonder if we shouldn’t ask for and look for more support among other Christian denominations and indeed, persons of other faiths.’

The British Humanist Association has told the Catholic Education Service (CES) that its 'absolutely outrageous' request that UK Catholic school pupils sign an anti-gay marriage petition may breach the law.

The secondary schools also directed students as young as 11 to a letter written last month that urged Catholic congregations to protect the sanctity of marriage in Britain.

Drugs, alcohol, smoking, depression, self-harm, suicide, domestic abuse, body image issues, eating disorders and cancer risks – when Stonewall put a finger on the pulse of Britain’s gay and bisexual men, it diagnosed a heap of trouble.

Gay UK asylum seekers who are in danger of being deported back to countries where their lives are in danger are the new target for a group who successfully lobbied for a Dutch asylum seeker to say in the country.

A gay rights activist from Tanzania has won refugee status in the UK after a year long battle to stay in the country.

Edson ‘Eddy’ Cosmas was finally granted asylum in Britain this week, despite the Home Office initially turning him down in May 2011, claiming that the African country was safe for LGBT people and refusing to believe he is gay.

London’s iconic red buses are set to carry a homophobic advert which suggests that gay people can be ‘cured’.

Core Issues Trust's advert states: 'Not gay! Post-gay, ex-gay and proud. Get over it!'

Activist Peter Tatchell has compared Australia's ban on same-sex unions to apartheid.

In a letter submitted to the country's senate inquiry on gay marriage, which closed on Monday (2 April), he urged politicians not to 'fob' gay couples off with UK-style civil partnerships.

The human rights campaigner claims most gay and lesbian people in Britain regret not pushing for full marriage equality earlier and called Australian politicians who are in favor of a similar system 'hypocritical'.

Two more British MPs have pledged to stop taking interns from a Christian organization which backs ‘gay cures’.

Christian Action Research and Education (CARE) have previously supported events which promote ‘curing’ homosexuality and ask if being gay ‘is real’. Its chief executive is a director of the Coalition for Marriage, the religious-based hate group attempting to block plans for fully-equal same-sex marriage in Britain.

German-based supermarket chain Aldi has gone gay for Easter with a tongue-in-cheek advert for hot cross buns.

The British TV ad, which is currently going viral on social media platforms, features two men sitting on a sofa, enjoying a pot of tea with two brands of buns on their coffee table.

Hot cross buns are a traditional British treat at Easter. The raisin-filled sweet rolls are topped with a cross which symbolizes Jesus' crucifixion.
