Myth busting men’s cosmetic surgery

We meet a Harley Medical Group nurse to learn more about the most popular surgical procedures and why they are a life-changer, not a quick fix

There are more myths and misconceptions about cosmetic surgery than about almost anything else you can do to get the body you want.

Harley Medical Group helps clients, gay and straight, male and female, to work through the issues and to have surgery which can often be life-changing.

Patients are guided through it all by a professional nurse – we caught up with Debbie Griffith from the group’s clinic in Leeds, north east England, to find out more about cosmetic surgery for men.

Laser hair removal named top trend among LGBT people

More and more gay people are flocking to get non-surgical procedures, so we ask a nurse why laser hair removal treatment is becoming so popular

Laser hair removal treatment is one of the fastest growing nonsurgical cosmetic procedures on the market.

In the US alone, nearly 900,000 people chose to get rid of unwanted hairs in 2012.

For some, it is a way of never having to deal with shaving rashes or the pain of waxing again.

And for some trans people, it is one of the only ways they can best manage their bodies during and after their transition.

Think you know cosmetic surgery? Think again

From simple procedures like botox and laser hair removal to breast enhancement, we ask a nurse why LGBT people are seeking cosmetic treatments to boost their confidence

What comes to mind when you think of surgery? For me, it used to be men and women striving for a Ken and Barbie look they’ll never quite achieve.

But times have changed. And now for some people, it is a lifeline.

In the US alone, over 9million people chose to get cosmetic surgery in 2011. And as techniques and expertise have improved over the years, so, in many cases, have the results.

For some trans people, it is the only way they can be happy in the skin they are in. For some people with no confidence, it can lift their spirits.

Nurse destroys archbishop’s gay marriage stance with a stroke of her pen

A 65-year-old former nurse has told the leader of England’s Catholics to ditch the robes, the Latin and activism against gays and start helping the needy

A 65-year-old former nurse has delivered a withering telling off to the Archbishop of Westminster – England’s most senior Catholic – for his stance on gay marriage.

The woman, who now works with animals and lives in northern England, says she has been married for 30 years but gay marriage doesn’t threaten the status of her relationship whatsoever.

And she says Archbishop Vincent Nichols and his church have become obsessed with gay sex, ignoring the real problems of society – the economy, schools, hospitals and our children’s future.

Guillermo Díaz of ABC's Scandal talks to GSN about being an out actor

'I think people get too caught up in it. I don't stress about it'

Guillermo Diaz is one of the busiest openly gay actor in Hollywood but he goes about his work without any of the attention that accompanies every career move of Neil Patrick Harris or Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

But that seems to suit this 37-year-old just fine as he takes on roles both gay and straight in television and film. He currently plays the role of Huck, an ex-CIA agent turned computer hacker, on the ABC series Scandal which will return for a second season this fall.
