  • Issue 41’s feature on poetry proved popular, so the paper has decided to regularly publish more contemporary poems on gay themes. This will not end well.

  • Teaching Coppers the Law – MANCHESTER: Two cool girls drove a policeman into a quandary here the other day, when they decided to have a kiss and a natter. In public? The girls left a fortnightly gay women’s meeting in central Manchester and walked to their car. Inside the car, their kiss and cuddle was interrupted by tapping on the window. A policeman told them they were going to be arrested. The girls patiently explained to him that the 1967 Sexual Offences Act applied only to men. And while the girls smooched, the policeman conferred with the station. He was told that he had made a mistake. But he returned and tried again to arrest the girls. They told him he was being silly and drove off. – page 20
