GAYS AGAINST GUNS
Immediately after the Pulse massacre last June in which 49 people were shot dead in a gay nightclub, a group of LGBT+ activists, veteran and edgling, came together to try and do something about the atrocious gun laws in America. One year on, post the election of Donald Trump, Gays Against Guns are ghting with all their might against a cycle of death. Brian Finnegan attends a meeting

From Russia with Hate
In 2013, Russia enacted a vindictive “gay propaganda law” which demonised and imperilled its queer citizens. Now in an ironic twist, Vladmir Putin faces a potential schism with one of his most ardent supporters, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, over allegations of a campaign of violence against the Russian republic’s gay men
While gay men are being tortured in Chechnya, Putin is using queers as pawns in his cold war against the West

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
When lauded Irish writer PP Hartnett told us he doesn’t want to be “the usual safe fag who isn’t going to gamble” in order to get his books on the shelves, we decided we wanted to hear more. Celebrated for his 1996 queer novel, Call Me, he’s since rejected the mainstream to create his own publishing company, collaborated with gay serial killer Dennis Nilsen, and formed a band called Child Rape Photos. As his latest collection of poetry, or what he calls “thought grenades”, is published, he tells Gavin Whelan it’s all in the service of wanting to tell the truth about the ip side
