Something old, new and a<br />

wee bit blue! Well, CABIN BAR<br />

is new (Douglas Street) describing<br />

itself as - ‘gay friendly’- the<br />

bar is offering Karaoke and the<br />

promise of comedians at a later<br />

date - I could do with a laugh!<br />

ICON-BAR is at 24 Candleriggs<br />

- it’s a bit on the ‘posh’ side a<br />

‘wine bar’ in feel. It’s kinda long<br />

and dark, just the way I like<br />

them, when you go in and most<br />

of the ‘Glasgay!’ launch party<br />

ended up in there (more of<br />

Glasgay! next issue) after the<br />

Tron, so don’t be surprised if<br />

you see leaflets for the Glasgay<br />

festival in there - it’s 20th Oct -<br />

20th Nov this year. The ‘Icon’<br />

may well be trying to attract the<br />

legendary ‘Merchant City’<br />

crowd down from their lofty<br />

penthouses that you can’t swing<br />

a cat in! The bar is beside<br />

another better know establishment<br />

but I’m sure they all get on<br />

like a house on fire!<br />

Revolver is encouraging<br />

guys to pop in on their way to<br />

‘Burly’, on the Edinburgh as well<br />

as Glasgow nights, it’s ‘Burly’s’<br />

birthday soon and to celebrate<br />

they are having something a<br />

wee bit special! Construction<br />

night will be held in October<br />

and with any luck that will be<br />

very BLUE!!<br />

The Waterloo may well be<br />

old but the manager is not! Kate<br />

is lovely and will have everyone<br />

flocking in I’m sure - welcome to<br />

the scene! The Court Bar has<br />

been around as long as I have!<br />

It’s tucked in Hutchison street so<br />

may not get the attention it<br />

deserves. It might be small but<br />

good things and packages and<br />

all that! It’s enjoyed by young<br />

and old and it’s handy for<br />

Bennets.<br />

I did promise a wee jaunt to<br />

the westend, before the weather<br />

got too dreek! Buda is in Aston<br />

Lane and seems to be doing its<br />

best to draw in a mixed bunch.<br />

Food is available and its laynout<br />

is like a restaurant but with a<br />

‘sports bar’ feel. Tennets on<br />

Byres road is the oldest place<br />

that I have ever drunk in<br />

Glasgow! It’s a place where you<br />

see the odd lesbian, bear or<br />

gay, rather than a ‘Gay bar’<br />

and I think thats how they like it.<br />

It has long been a puzzled to<br />

me just how many of us live in<br />

that part of the city and how<br />

few, if any, gay bars there are!<br />

Oran Mor (translation ‘big<br />

song’) was once a church and<br />

now it’s a bar come theatre<br />

come night club come outside<br />

grill come... you get the picture!!<br />

A PLAY, A PIE & A PINT<br />

does what it says<br />

on the tin! With acts<br />

like ‘Yat-Kha’<br />

(TUVA)’ and<br />

‘Gertchen Peters’<br />

you are guaranteed<br />

entertainment as<br />

you nibble. The<br />

idea comes from<br />

the USA, for years<br />

plays have been put<br />

on in diners and it<br />

seems to draw a<br />

crowd. If this works<br />

here, more will follow<br />

and you can’t fault the view,<br />

it’s amazing even if the renovations<br />

to the Botanics are not finished<br />

yet, can you really get coffee<br />

from the Tardis now?<br />

For all you lovers of all<br />

things that are Art, ‘Q! Gallery’<br />

glasgow<br />

scene glaschu<br />

has opened in Saltmarket. In the<br />

window you can see Egyptian<br />

pottery and inside there are<br />

photos, paintings and books! It’s<br />

run by friendly if busy staff, well<br />

there are Glasgay! envelopes to<br />

stuff you know, POPCHOC is<br />

the main exhibit and consists of<br />

contemporary works with a 60’s<br />

feel.<br />

Sat 1st Oct and Tue 4th<br />

Oct are all to do with LGBT<br />

parenting sessions, they<br />

will be held in the LGBT<br />

Centre so give them a call<br />

for info on the dates and<br />

times and how your input<br />

will help the Scottish<br />

Executives’s bill on adoption.<br />

The Centre will also<br />

be having a members meeting<br />

at 2pm on Sun 9th Oct<br />

in the Jackie Foster room.<br />

Over 25’s Lesbian group is<br />

to be held on Wed eve in<br />

the cafe bar, it’s informal so<br />

just turn up and ask for Jai.<br />

Sadly it looks as if the Gay<br />

Men’s Discussion Group<br />

may well be gone (unless<br />

you have heard different) it<br />

never fails to amaze me<br />

how little support these ideas<br />

receive.Well, that’s all that i<br />

have heard, seen, been told and<br />

had screamed at me! Till our<br />

next merry meeting, this witch<br />

must fly!<br />

‘Backstreet Boy’ or a<br />

Champagne Supernova? Have<br />

a Dee-Liteful night as we take<br />

Tackno well into the heart of<br />

nineties pop culture. Back track<br />

to those cheesy nights of ravin’<br />

and wavin’, rake your<br />

wardrobe for a few of those forgotten<br />

fashion faux paus and<br />

pogo with a perm! A quick<br />

reminder that the official preclub<br />

party every month is in The<br />

Street, less than a minute along<br />

the road from eGo. Start your<br />

night in style - limber up in luxury<br />

or just chill before the big<br />

party, there will be special previews,<br />

promos, cocktails & member<br />

bonuses to be had by all.<br />

You can also pick up discount<br />

passes for any non-member<br />

friends.<br />

For all you new students out<br />

there who can party mid week<br />

why not try VIBE! This popular<br />

Tue night club is held @ Club<br />

eGo on Picardy Place who<br />

moan about not seeing me<br />

(They’d moan even more if you<br />

became a regular. Ed). If you<br />

are up for non stop fun with all<br />

the best dance music and<br />

cheesy tunes then this is the<br />

place to be - not only that but<br />

entry is only a couple of quid<br />

and drink promos run all night.<br />

Open 11pm-3am. Pre club you<br />

can usually find folk in either<br />

Habana across the road or<br />

Planet Out - both of which run<br />

promos mid week. Vibe’s sister<br />

BLAZE is also held @ eGo on<br />

1st, 3rd & 4th Fri of every<br />

month. Slightly similar, this<br />

night tends to be a wee bit more<br />

on the dance side although the<br />

same drink promos are on offer<br />

and with it being the weekend<br />

entry is a wee bit more - £5, but<br />

if you are involved with any student<br />

associations like BLOGGS<br />

check out to see if you are entitled<br />

to a discount!<br />

Congatulations to Miss<br />

Samantha Swallows, doyenne<br />

extraordinaire of Habana, who<br />

was the Scottish Finalist in Drag<br />

Idol and will be going through<br />

to the UK Final in a few months<br />

time. For those of you on the<br />

West Coast, Miss Swallows will<br />

also be featuring in Glasgay.<br />

Places to eat? Blue Moon<br />

and Sala are your best bet and<br />

are both situated in Broughton<br />

St - centre of the Pink Triangle.<br />

And finally on a serious note<br />

if you are new to Edinburgh<br />

then please check out the listings<br />

Martin Walker on..<br />

VIOLENCE<br />

Like many of us, my teenage<br />

years were wasted with being<br />

confused about my sexuality,<br />

rather than with having one. On<br />

coming out at the advanced age<br />

of nineteen, I quickly became<br />

angry about the years I had<br />

already lost. In fact, this testosterone-fuelled<br />

lad was angry<br />

about everything. It was the late<br />

eighties, righteous rage was<br />

aimed at parents, Tories,<br />

straights, nukes, Christians, the<br />

poll tax and so on. Then one<br />

night a boy friend, Nathan, was<br />

seriously hurt in an assault by<br />

British National Party (BNP)<br />

thugs. The next day spitting<br />

blood over his hospital bed, my<br />

Nathan and I, along with our<br />

friends, decided enough was<br />

enough.<br />

So then there were nine mostly<br />

teenage gay lads roaming the<br />

streets looking for a fight. We<br />

were gay, but we were hard. We<br />

provoked the 80’s ASBOs equivalents<br />

(and everybody else) by<br />

being overt, obnoxious, rude<br />

and provocative. We called them<br />

6<br />

‘honey’ or ‘breeder’<br />

and so on. No one<br />

attacked us - the worst<br />

thing that happened<br />

was a confrontation<br />

with an elderly black<br />

woman, out for her<br />

messages, who called<br />

us ‘batty’ - but at the<br />

time non of us knew<br />

what ‘batty’ meant. We<br />

enjoyed straight baiting.<br />

We were regular<br />

neds, schemies, chavs,<br />

and scallies - strutting<br />

around toon in our trackies. If<br />

FlipperJoe’s excellent website<br />

http://www.fitlads.net/ had<br />

been around at the time we’d<br />

have had more hits than Kylie or<br />

Tyson.<br />

Sooner or later, one by one,<br />

most of us got jobs, moved on,<br />

grew up. But for two of the lads,<br />

thuggish loutishness became so<br />

much part of their identity they<br />

joined the police. A third, James,<br />

always the most glaikit of us went<br />

to stay with his mother in the<br />

north of Ireland where he still<br />

marches proudly down Catholic<br />

streets once a year with his<br />

orange sash and probably a<br />

Borderland is touring Scotland until 5th November<br />

See http://www.784theatre.com for details<br />

flute, taunting residents.<br />

For a very short time, in a relatively<br />

small way, violence, or<br />

the threat of violence became a<br />

way of life. In Andrew Doyle’s<br />

new play, Borderland, (staged<br />

by 7:84 Theatre Company and<br />

currently touring Scotland), two<br />

Catholic brothers Sean and<br />

Ciaran are doing their best to<br />

come to terms with the so-called<br />

‘Peace Process’. They have<br />

always relied on the Provos for<br />

work, for solidarity, for something<br />

to do. Even when Ciaran<br />

messes up an IRA organised<br />

delivery job and they both fear<br />

for their lives, or at least their<br />

knees, an aerie respect, born of<br />

generations of conflict, of good<br />

guys and bad guys, ensues.<br />

If most of us find change difficult<br />

- how do men of violence<br />

change? This question is at the<br />

heart of Borderland. Aggression<br />

is addictive. Violence begets violence.<br />

The homophobic attack on<br />

my ex, Nathan, turned a small<br />

gaggle of gay guys into thugs for<br />

a short time - out for revenge.<br />

What must the effect of generations<br />

of violence be on a community?<br />

And what do individuals in<br />

the community do when told that<br />

the very thing on which they<br />

have built their identity - violence<br />

in the cause of liberation - isn’t<br />

any longer needed?

Hello everybody! A few<br />

things to mention this month, and<br />

let’s start along the A90 in Perth,<br />

where Whispers nightclub on<br />

Canal Street will play host to the<br />

first night of Mi Cielo (My<br />

Everything) on Sun Oct 2nd. This<br />

latest attempt at introducing a<br />

monthly gay night in Perth will<br />

hopefully take off, promising various<br />

drinks promotions and prize<br />

giveaways in an excellent atmosphere.<br />

Doors are open from<br />

10pm and the entry fee is £5.<br />

The next Diversitay ice-breaker<br />

evening will be on Wed 19th<br />

Oct in the usual location, Braes<br />

on Perth Road. I’ve got a bit<br />

more detail about the Women’s<br />

Disco being organised by<br />

Diversitay to be held on Sat<br />

29th Aug, 8pm onwards. Again<br />

at Braes but this time in the function<br />

room downstairs, and music<br />

D<br />

will be provided by DJ Jamie<br />

from Out. I’ve not got any other<br />

details on exact entry requirements<br />

yet, such as if guys are<br />

allowed as guests or if there is a<br />

door charge, but no doubt details<br />

will soon be published on the<br />

Diversitay website<br />

http://www.diversitay.org.uk/ or<br />

by calling the switchboard<br />

between 7-10pm Mon on<br />

Dundee (01382) 202620.<br />

Brooklyn’s, now back to<br />

opening from 5pm, is playing<br />

host to the Pub Idol competition<br />

being run by Wave 102 on Wed<br />

12th Oct. The finale of the competition<br />

is held in Fat Sams some<br />

time in November. The Show Bar<br />

is still being held on the last Sat<br />

of the month, by my reckoning<br />

the next night will be 29th Oct.<br />

No doubt there will be plans for<br />

the Hallowe’en weekend, which<br />

dùn deagh<br />

night though I’m not sure at this<br />

time. Drinks offers on at the<br />

moment include 4 pint pitchers<br />

of Carlsberg for £6, and downstairs<br />

in Out have the £1 for nips<br />

and shooters on Wed and Thu<br />

nights.<br />

Charlie’s Bar are preparing<br />

once again for the Hallowe’en<br />

fancy dress night, to be held on<br />

Sat 29th Oct. These nights in the<br />

past have been a great success,<br />

and this one should be no different.<br />

Once again Ian is promising<br />

plenty of glamour, with this year’s<br />

frock currently being made for<br />

him. There are also the usual discos<br />

on Fri and Sat nights with DJ<br />

Ross, and the quiz night will<br />

be on Tue 4th Oct 8pm onwards<br />

with £100 and various other<br />

prizes up for grabs.<br />

Ross is also still running the<br />

gay-friendly “Does your mother<br />

know” night along in Dundee<br />

Students Union every second Thu<br />

from 11pm-2.30am. There are<br />

also plans for various sing-a-long<br />

nights, including The Rocky<br />

Horror Picture Show sometime<br />

about Hallowe’en, and<br />

Sound of Music and Wizard<br />

of Oz later in the year - more<br />

details closer to the time.<br />

Finally a brief mention of<br />

Saks, although I’m not getting<br />

any freebies they did go to the<br />

bother of e-mailing me so they<br />

deserve a mention. Described as<br />

the leading hair and beauty<br />

chain in the UK this additional<br />

salon opened its doors on the<br />

Meadowside earlier this month.<br />

sides? Ed.)<br />

Hi there and here is this<br />

month’s round up of what’s happening<br />

North of anywhere.<br />

The LGBT Sports Group had<br />

another successful outing on Sun<br />

11th Sep. We drove up to<br />

Collieston just north of Aberdeen<br />

and had a short walk along the<br />

cliffs and back. We then joined the<br />

Scottish Natural Heritage guided<br />

walk at Sands of Forvie nature<br />

reserve. Ranger Annabel Drysdale<br />

gave an interesting commentary on<br />

the history of the area and showed<br />

how the people of Forvie have<br />

changed with the shifting landscape<br />

over thousands of years. We<br />

saw bronze age and medieval<br />

ruins and with good weather we all<br />

enjoyed a pleasant day out including<br />

a picnic in the dunes. The next<br />

walk will be to Tap O’ Noth near<br />

Rhynie on Sun 2nd Oct meeting at<br />

the Phace offices at 10.15am. A<br />

further meeting will be held on Thu<br />

20th Oct at 8pm in the Phace<br />

Offices at 11 Waverley Place,<br />

Aberdeen to discuss future events. If<br />

you are interested in getting<br />

involved please contact Phace on<br />

0845 241 2151.<br />

The following is an update from<br />

Seona (acting Chairperson) at<br />

Aberdeen Women Centre’s after<br />

their extra-ordinary general meeting:<br />

“To further update, the proposal<br />

to facilitate an Exit Strategy was<br />

constitutionally ratified at the EGM.<br />

The Aberdeen Women’s Centre has<br />

been a victim of its own success.<br />

Women’s groups, embryonic within<br />

the centre, have gained strength<br />

over the years and have moved on<br />

with independent funding. With the<br />

pressures on women to return to<br />

work, volunteers suitably equipped<br />

with the skills required, have<br />

become thin on the ground. Alarm<br />

bells were sounded at the A.G.M.<br />

last September. The centre was<br />

faced, even then, with a human<br />

resource crisis. Financially there<br />

were continuing supports and many<br />

supportive words. Words, finally,<br />

were not sufficient to sustain the<br />

day to day running of the Centre -<br />

it required urgent actions. A feasibility<br />

study was conducted and various<br />

rescue routes were explored<br />

but without success. The doors will<br />

close at the end of this year. There<br />

are no regrets - for there are now<br />

many avenues of women’s support<br />

throughout the city, their seeds first<br />

a good idea to come for a test soon,<br />

especially if you’ve been fucking<br />

without condoms. There are clear<br />

benefits to having an early diagnosisyou<br />

could be negative, but if you’re<br />

positive, you could access a whole<br />

health regularly monitored.<br />

And when you know your status,<br />

you can make an informed decision<br />
