Our focus on writing reviews on travel, restaurants, cars, lifestyle and luxury products, whilst publishing gay content from all over the world, made us a household name and popular with local and international tourists from Japan to the USA.

MUSIC REVIEWS

Nic Billington has been on the local music scene since 2009 and through some well calculated decisions he has lived up to the expectation of still being relevant and standing the test of time.

BOOK REVIEWS

DISCOVERING GYM AT AN OLDER AGE • Regular visits to the gym can be an addictive lifestyle choice, but can it become an addiction at a relatively older age? Or should the fast-paced house of pain be avoided?

EMOTIONAL FITNESS AND BEING A DADDY • Growing older I find that my emotional fitness is as important as my physical fitness. Healthy body healthy mind. As you have to exercise your body, you need to exercise your mind.

AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT IS CONFUSED? • As we explore our identity, we have to navigate so many gay cultures, and even subcultures, but where do we fit in and belong? And is internal discrimination within our community a big threat?

RETIRING AS AN LGBTQ INDIVIDUAL • As I’m aging, the prospect of my later years and retirement are becoming more and more important. This is a typical human reaction. In our younger years, we hardly pay the thought of getting old any attention. The business of being young and having fun is most important. And that is as it should be.

I LOVE BEING GAY • Taking a look at gay culture can be eye opening and often hilarious when we put pen to paper, taking into consideration all the habits, lifestyle choices and decision making processes.

#FEMBOYFRIDAY • Finally some fabulous forward thinking thanks to emerging social media trends, TikTok has opened the door to feminine expression.
