Boris Got Buggered
Somewhere deep in the bowels of the Russian civil service, the wheels of legislation turn unhindered. But when one cog in the mechanism decides something isn’t quite right, will it mean putting on the brakes or being chewed up by the machine?
Young Boris, straight out of university and new to the real workings of the Duma soon has misgivings about the work he’s being asked to do, and its implications to his conscience. When a clockwork mouse refuses to brush the crumbs under the rug, there are always going to be consequences.
Ramzanland is Freedomland
It’s a glorious spring, and the occupants of a camp deep in the heart of Chechnya are having a gay old time of it. Perhaps not the welcome break from everyday life it seems though. This holiday could turn out to be something quite different to what Billy Butlin had in mind. Knobbly knees contests, egg and spoon races and tea dances are far from the kind of activities that go on at Ramzanland. For Arbi and his fellow “residents”, the games have no winners and even going home could be the booby prize.
Three Steps Back
It’s Britain in 2027, and things have gone dark. When a country stands back and watches the persecution of LGBTQ+ people in other countries; how long will it be before the rot sets in and bystanders become perpetrators?
Kenny’s getting ready to DJ at a monthly underground queer night. Neil won’t leave the house; not since Steve was murdered. Ollie’s ready break the habit of a lifetime and get political. And then Terry gets attacked. In a flat somewhere in the UK hope and anger is growing; could this be the beginning of a turning tide?
