Red – the colour of passion, anger, royalty (along with purple). The phrase “Nature red in tooth and claw”, is attributed to Tennyson. The colour of rubies and the blood of the men who mine them. The colour of British soldiers’ uniforms. As a dye, co

Most gay men never outgrow their inner Peter Pans, nor should they as there is something utterly charming about youthful exuberance or our romantic refusal to leave Never Neverland. Maybe it explains why a high percentage of gifted people are gay, ma

It is a Friday afternoon at about 15h00 in the late Summer of 1983, I have just finished school for the week, and my mate Paul has collected me in his bright orange “Volla” (otherwise known as a VW Beetle). Having banged the homemade cassette tape on
