Stonewall’s Top 100 Employers of 2009 Announced

Friday 9 January 2009 / Antony Simpson / Leave a Comment

Stonewall have realised this list of the Top 100 Employers who stand for equality.

Interestingly high up on this list included the Police. The police have a history of institutionalised rasicism therefore making them historically inequal. Therefore they must be making progress.

However I still feel they need to continue to work on equality. I have got several gay friends of mine that have recieved a poor service off the police. Indeed some of them have had homophobic remarks made by police officers. Some of my friends tell me that police officers have stated that it is their fault when reporting homophobic crime.

It is nice to see that central and local governments are on the list seen as they make the equality legislation. Next year it would be fantastic to see some NHS organisations on the list! This is because I know a lot of work goes on to protect equality of their employees in the NHS and respect & value the diversity of their employees.

Wishing you all equality always,

Antony

Royal Variety Show 2008, NO longer for the new comers!

Hi All,

The Royal Variety Show is a British National Insititution. Much like tea or cucumber sandwiches.

Historically it has always been a place for new comers in the music, comedy and theatre fields. Any that appeared on The Royal Variety Show , later went on to be big.

So I have been saving the most recent one for watching on a chill night. Tonight was that night.

I am soo disappointed. No new talent. The performers included Take That, Leona Lewis, Jimmy Carr, Duffy, Peter Kay (as Geraldine McQueen), four west end musicals, too name a few. All big stars who’ve made it.

The exception to this was of course George Samson:

I wish it would go back to giving new comers in the fields a chance.

Ok, rant over. (I feel better now!)

P.S it was made better by John Barrowman performing ‘What about us’ and I particularly loved the gay couple centre stage! See for yourself:

Hey all,

Check out this video entitled If I were gay:

It has funny lines, romantic lines, sexual lines. The perceptions of a straight hetrosexual with his gay admire(er) friend.

Let me know what you think, by leaving a comment.

Hugs,

Antony

Past time Crushes

Ok, it’s time to confess. I have been recently having a pre-christmas de-clutter. I found a shoe box of old CD’s. In it I found a single I bought in 2003 by allSTARS.

Who? I hear you say, exactually. A band that never took off. I had the biggest crush on a guy called Sam in the band (the one with the dark hair).

Here are videos of their two single releases:

Things That Go Bump In The Night

The Land Of Make Believe

More embarrasing, I still think he’s kind of hot! I tried to search him online, but didn’t know his last name. Ah well, never mind.

Blog soon,

Antony
