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 />

Creepy crowd<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 />

if you are new to Edinburgh<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 />

If we’re talking about HIV, it could be<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 />
range of treatments and have your<br />
health regularly monitored.<br />
And when you know your status,<br />
you can make an informed decision<br />
about what you get up to.<br />
