Gripping Netflix doc reveals how far-right terrorist behind tragic London gay bar bombing was finally caught – Yahoo Eurosport UK

The first trailer for Nail Bomber: Manhunt, the Netflix documentary about the string of nail bombings in London 20 years ago, has dropped.

On 30 April 1999, a crudely made but deadly nail bomb ripped through the Admiral Duncan, a historic queer bar in Soho. Killing three people and wounding at least 70.

For a city already on edge following two prior nail bombings in Brixton and Brick Lane, the atrocity left some of London’s most vulnerable communities shaken.

Now more than 21 years on since the attacks carried out by far-right extremist David Copeland, filmmakers from Expectation Media are diving deep into how a 22-year-old engineer sought to start a race war.

Speaking to law enforcement officials, community leaders, journalists and former members and misfits of white nationalist groups, executive producer and showrunner Colin Barr explores how one man’s hatred of difference led to more than 100 Londoners being injured.

Copeland was lost in the extreme right-wing ideology of the British National Party and the National Socialist Movement. Fuelled by a hatred of difference, he targeted Brixton, Brick Lane and Old Compton Street, hubs for the Black, Asian and LGBT+ communities, respectively.

Filmmakers spoke to an undercover informant for the 71-minute-long documentary who became a crucial lifeline for the authorities finally pinning Copeland down.

Spending a decade within white supremacist, neo-Nazi groups gathering intelligence, Arthur reveals the extent of their hatred and how their anger only needed a “match” to be ignited.

“I knew we needed to stop him,” he says in the trailer.

Witnesses recall the “beauty” and bustle of the days when the bombs shuddered through the streets in the trailer. The sense of “helplessness” of those waking up to crumbled buildings, downed trees and blackened buildings.

“It was like a war scene,” one witness said, as police officers vowed to not “let him get away with” the killings.

The documentary, directed by Daniel Vernon, even features chilling interview records of Copeland and investigators as well as archival footage of the devastation dealt by the jerry-rigged bombs no larger than a shoebox.

Nail Bomber: Manhunt will be released on Netflix on 26 May.

Ottawa moves to block gay man’s human rights case accusing it of backing blood donor ban – CBC.ca

Ottawa moves to block gay man’s human rights case accusing it of backing blood donor ban – CBC.ca

A gay man in Ontario will be in court later this month arguing that Health Canada discriminates against him by overseeing the ban preventing men who recently have had sex with other men from donating blood.

The federal government has been trying to block that challenge, arguing it has no power to change Canadian Blood Services’ donor criteria.

A federal court judge will hear the case on May 27.

The case dates back to 2016, when Christopher Karas first brought a human rights complaint against Health Canada. He accused the department of discriminating against him on the basis of his sexual orientation through its role in upholding Canadian Blood Services’ policy of prohibiting men who have sex with men from donating blood in Canada unless they’ve been celibate for a period of time.

When Karas first applied to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, that period of time was one year; it has since been dropped to three months.

For years, the not-for-profit Canadian Blood Services has argued the deferment period is necessary because HIV is more prevalent among men who have sex with men — sometimes referred to as the MSM population. The non-profit screens out MSM with its donor health assessment questionnaire before accepting donations.

Karas said the ban weighed on his sense of self-worth and made him feel that “he was of very little value.”

“To have erroneous policies that are archaic and discriminatory like this, barring donors and discouraging donors from donating and creating stigma, is an inappropriate way for our blood system to operate,” he said.

“What kind of society do we want to live in? Do we want to live in a society where LGBTQ people are set aside, are excluded and not given the opportunity to fully participate?”

Karas and his lawyer Gregory Ko argue that while Health Canada does not directly take blood donations, it grants regulatory approval to Canadian Blood Services’ screening.

“Health Canada is intimately involved in implementing, certainly approving, this blood ban that is imposed on gay folks,” Ko said.

“Their fingers are frankly all over this.”

‘No public interest in pursuing a complaint,’ says Health Canada

Health Canada disagrees, saying it has never issued a directive requiring Canadian Blood Services to adopt the ban. The department says it only reviews the blood service’s policies and procedures for safety reasons and has no legal authority to direct the arm’s-length agency to do anything.

Canada’s Blood Regulations do authorize the department to ask Canadian Blood Services to address an emerging health issue, such as SARS or the West Nile virus. Health Canada says that has no application to Karas’ complaint because his situation is not an “emerging health issue” or a “potential epidemic.”

“There is no public interest in pursuing a complaint against a party like Health Canada who has not committed the alleged discrimination and has no authority to rescind the policy giving rise to the alleged discrimination,” says part of Health Canada’s submission to the Canadian Human Rights Commission in 2019.

That year, the commission sent Karas’ complaint for further inquiry by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, saying preliminary evidence indicated a relationship between Health Canada and CBS that warranted further investigation.

“It is not plain and obvious at the preliminary stage that the respondent is not a party to the alleged discrimination,” said the human rights commission.

Now, the Attorney General of Canada, on behalf of Health Canada, is trying to stop that inquiry and is seeking a judicial review of the Canadian Human Rights Commission’s decision at the Federal Court level.

In court documents filed earlier this year, the government repeated its claim that Health Canada did not discriminate against Karas and also accused the Canadian Human Rights Commission of pursuing an unfair investigation.

“The Commission failed to interview Health Canada witnesses who could have established Health Canada’s limited role as a regulator of blood safety,” says the document.

“The Commission’s decision reflects this one-sided and incomplete investigation. It fails to consider any of Health Canada’s submissions.”

The commission said it would not offer a comment for this story, citing ongoing court proceedings.

‘Big optics concern,’ says lawyer

Ko said the federal government’s attempt to trigger a judicial review is tantamount to trying to end the human rights tribunal inquiry.

“The approach that the federal government has taken is both surprising and quite aggressive,” he said.

The government is also seeking costs, which Karas said would impose a substantial financial burden.

“There’s this David-Goliath story,” he said.

Ko said he believes Ottawa is using the challenge in an attempt to disassociate itself from the allegations of discrimination. 

“There’s a big optics concern,” he said. “Certainly [it’s] a government that does not want to shine a light on its involvement in this discriminatory policy, and that’s kind of what is disturbing about the move on the part of the federal government.”

The challenge comes as the Liberal government continues to promise to end what it’s called the “discriminatory” ban on blood donations. The promise was made in both the 2015 and 2019 federal elections.

When asked how the government reconciles the court challenge with that promise, a spokesperson for Health Minister Patty Hajdu said he couldn’t comment because the case is before the courts.

“I think that should be concerning to all of us, given that they’ve been so vocal on this file but have been unwilling to act,” said Karas.

“There hasn’t been any political will. And I think that we need to continue to push on that.”

Dear Abby: Gay man’s first step out of the closet should be to tell his wife of 25+ years – OregonLive

DEAR ABBY: I have been married more than 25 years and have kids. I’m also gay. I always have been, but when I was a teenager, it wasn’t acceptable and I always believed I would just outgrow it, or learn to live with it.

Then came the computer era and the internet — things I never dreamed of while growing up. They changed my life, yet I’m still closeted.

I have had two gay relationships. Both lasted less than a year. I feel like my whole life has been a lie, and I pretty much screwed up my wife because of it. I did provide her with all the creature comforts financially, and gave her two beautiful kids.

I just don’t know if it’s worth coming out at this point in my life. I’m also reluctant because I don’t have a guy in my life right now, although I am looking. It’s just so difficult. I’m torn about how to live the remainder of my life. Please help. — CLOSETED IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR CLOSETED: Because you are looking for a partner, it looks like you really don’t plan on sticking around once you find one. Tell your wife the truth so she can decide how she would like to spend the rest of HER life. She may need help from a licensed therapist to deal with the ramifications of your disclosure, so be prepared because it may be a shock when she learns the person she has spent the last quarter of a century with is not exactly who she thought he was .

DEAR ABBY: I was adopted and recently came across my biological family. It’s huge. I suffer from severe depression and now know that most of my bio family does, too.

During the past year, my husband and I decided to tackle it head-on with medication, and there has been a noticeable change in me. My husband is very supportive, and we are close. Problem is, I want to meet my out-of-state bio brother alone. He’s the only full sibling I have, and our connection is uncanny. My husband is a hyper extrovert, and I don’t want his charming antics to distract from this moment (although usually I love it). He, however, says he can’t agree. He’s afraid something with the new family will set off a depressive episode, and I’ll be too far away for him to get to me. That’s understandable. But what do I do? I still feel the same. Is he right or am I? — CONNECTING IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR CONNECTING: Not knowing how serious your depressive episodes have been, my instinctive reaction is to advise you to listen to your husband. Surely he wouldn’t have to be with you every minute and could stay at a nearby hotel or motel while you are seeing your sibling.

That said, if there is any chance that an episode could result in you becoming self-destructive, it is important to discuss this visit with the therapist who prescribes your medications before making any plans to go. Do tell your husband that if he accompanies you, you would like him to tone down his need for attention so he won’t distract from your experience or your brother’s.

My Abs and Arms Hurt Just Watching Kourtney Kardashian’s Levitating Trapeze Table Workout – POPSUGAR

If the Avengers are looking for a new member, Kourtney Kardashian’s abs are ready for the audition. In a video posted to her Instagram account on Thursday, Kardashian shared a glimpse at her full-body trapeze table workout alongside Poosh’s Sarah Howard, and our abs hurt just watching this intense routine. “Breathing, birds, and bending,” Kardashian captioned the video, which shows her doing horizontal pull-ups and hip thrusts all while keeping her legs balanced on a swing.

Like a giant jungle gym, the table looks difficult enough to climb onto, let alone execute so many reps with Kourtney’s impressive level of stability. Needless to say, this probably isn’t her first time testing her core strength on the trapeze table. Still, we’re mesmerized by this challenging pilates workout and will definitely be looking at the trapeze table a little differently next time we step foot in the gym. See a few more examples of Howard working out on the table for inspiration ahead, and check out these beginner pilates exercises to get in a good workout without hoisting yourself up in midair.

Vans Pride Month 2021 Collection Release Date | HYPEBEAST – HYPEBEAST

Pride Month 2021 is around the corner, and Vans is getting in the festive spirit early by announcing a special Pride collection of footwear and apparel — plus a $200K USD donation split between four LGBTQ+ organizations. Centered around a “spirit of creative self-expression,” the product offerings reinterpret Vans’ classic checkerboard pattern in a myriad of colorful fashions, ranging from repeating prints to patchwork-style material medleys.

Footwear options include classic silhouettes like the Slip-On, Era, Sk8-Mid and platformed Old Skool plus newer models like the UltraRange EXO. All four of these pairs interpret the collection’s ethos in a unique fashion, and arrive in multiple makeups like enlarged checkerboard print with each square covered in a repeating print that replicates one of the letters in LGBTQ+, a patchwork-style mixture of Pride-colored leathers and suedes and much more. There’s also special apparel like T-shirts and shorts.

“When I was younger, I was so scared to merge my queer life and my skate life,” said skateboarder and campaign photographer Samuel McGuire. “To see the two crashing into each other in such a beautiful and organic way is cool.” Apart from the footwear and apparel collection, Vans is also donating $200K USD to a quartet of LGBTQ+-focused organizations: Vans America’s donation will be split between GLSEN and Casa 1, Vans Europe’s donation will go to Where Love is Illegal and Vans Asia-Pacific’s donation will go to Tokyo Rainbow Pride.

Vans’ Pride Month 2021 collection is available on the Vans webstore now. A Pride-centric Vault by Vans collection is also slated to release on May 24.

Chipley headed to state after winning 1A showdown vs. Bozeman – The News Herald

SAND HILLS — On paper, Wednesday night’s region final between Bozeman and Chipley set up as a titanic clash of 1A powers featuring two of the top three ranked teams in the state. 

In reality, the Tigers made it look like a mismatch. Chipley jumped on Bucks ace Jeremy Todd for three first inning runs and rode a dominant pitching performance from sophomore Bryson Howard to an 8-3 victory.

The Chipley bench mobs sophomore Parker Smelcer, number 6, as he crosses the plate with a home run in the third inning. Bozeman hosted Chipley in the 1A Regionals with a trip to state on the line. The Tigers came out on top 8-3 over the Bucks.

Bozeman seniors Dylan Shingler and Adam Roberts hug after the loss to Chipley. Bozeman hosted Chipley in the 1A Regionals with a trip to state on the line. The Tigers came out on top 8-3 over the Bucks.

The win earned the Tigers (25-1) their second-ever trip to the state semifinals in Fort Myers and their first since 2014. 

“We’ve only been there once so to get to go back, it’s a great deal,” Chipley coach Andy Compton said. “(Bozeman) is a good team over there. They’ve got playoff experience and we don’t really have any playoff experience. We put two 10th graders on the mound tonight and they got it done.” 

Howard struck out 11 batters in 4 2/3 innings to get the win while allowing just one unearned run. Neal Adams came on with two outs in the fifth inning and closed it out, striking out seven batters of his own while allowing two earned runs. 

Todd took the loss for Bozeman (24-5), giving up eight runs – four earned – on nine hits and four walks with seven strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings. The junior came in as the more heralded pitcher with a 0.77 ERA for the season, but it was the sophomore who stole came in and stole the show. 

“Bryson Howard on the mound started it off for us,” Compton said. “He was locked in and overpowered them. Breaking balls, fastballs, he located them, and at the plate we barreled balls up tonight. We were ready for the velocity. It’s the first time we’ve seen that and we had great at bats and hit it on the barrel.” 

The Tigers took the early lead with a two-out rally in the first inning, loading the bases on a double by Adams, a single by Kelbee Woodham, and a hit by pitch of Parker Smelcer. Waylon Pitts then came up and smacked a bases clearing double to the gap in left field to make it 3-0. 

Smelcer added to the lead with a solo home run in the third, with a misplayed fly ball by Adams to left field allowing two more runs to score in the fourth to make it 6-0. 

The Bucks’ hitters had no such luck against Howard, who struck out half of the batters he faced. He used timely strikeouts to work his way out of multiple early jams, striking out Byron McLain and Peyton Gay to strand runners on the corners in the second inning, and then striking out Tyler Powell to leave the bases loaded in the third. 

Howard said he even before the game he felt like it was going to be that kind of night. 

“I was feeling good on all three pitches,” he said. “Before the game I had a little bullpen and I was throwing my changeup, my curveball, and the fastball all for strikes.” 

The 18 strikeouts were easily a season high for the Bucks, who hadn’t struck out 10 or more times in a single game this season and had been fanned just seven times total in their last three games. 

“I don’t really have an explanation for it,” Bozeman coach Jeff Patton said. “We were prepared and ready to go. We struck out probably more times tonight than we did in a month. I don’t quite have an answer for that other than their pitchers did a really good job and we didn’t make adjustments. I told the boys after the game that with as much as we struck out tonight it’s amazing that we scored three times. 

“We had some chances, but it was probably too little too late. We had some guys on but couldn’t get them in. It was just Chipley’s night.” 

Anthony Street led Bozeman with three hits and a run, with Powell adding two hits and an RBI. Banks Byers also had a hit and an RBI. Carson Shores and David Carley each had two hits and two RBI for Chipley, with Pitts driving in a team-high four runs. Smelcer added a hit, two runs, and an RBI. 

Chipley will next play on May 19 against the winner of Thursday night’s game between Northview and Holmes County. Whatever happens in Fort Myers, just making it there is a pretty impressive achievement for a team that put just two seniors on the field Wednesday. 

Even as well as the Tigers have played, Compton said he believes they have their best baseball still in front of them. 

“I think we do,” he said. “We’re playing good right now, playing our best. Our philosophy is just to win the next one and we did that tonight. I’m just really proud of them.”

Asian Gay Men Encouraged To Participate In Major Sexual Health Survey – Mirage News

ACON, NSW’s leading HIV organisation, is calling on Asian gay men and men who have sex with men in NSW to participate in vital research into their sexual health and wellbeing.

The Gay Asian Men’s Survey 2021 (GAMS) aims to collect responses from gay, bisexual and queer men (cis and trans) with an Asian background, on a range of issues including HIV and sexual health, sexual practices, relationships and other behaviours. Data collected from the survey will inform programs that improve the health and wellbeing of Asian men in LGBTQ communities.

ACON CEO Nicolas Parkhill said the landmark survey provides important insights on key sexual health issues affecting the Asian gay male community.

“As we observe declines in rates of HIV transmission and other improvements in sexual health generally across men in our communities, these are unfortunately not being reflected as well amongst overseas-born gay men, particularly from Asian backgrounds,” Parkhill said.

“We know that from NSW Health HIV data over the past few years that men in our communities with an Asian background continue to face barriers to appropriate HIV prevention messaging, treatment and care.

“Previous experiences of criminalisation, fear of disclosure, visa precariousness, Medicare ineligibility, experiences of racism and isolation, and of course language barriers, all impact on someone’s ability to negotiate safe sex and access testing and treatment options.”

With a strong focus on culture, race and migration, this year’s GAMS aims to gather information from men with an Asian background on HIV and sexual health, as well as their behaviours on HIV and STI testing, and HIV treatment.

“The data collected from this survey will help us and our community research partners in identifying key priorities, and in the development of community-led and community-focused HIV responses,” Parkhill added.

“Over the years, ACON has been able to engage with and develop close relationships with Asian men in our communities through our HIV prevention and testing campaigns and services that deliver culturally appropriate messages, while our peer education programs continue to see very high engagement.

“But we know that more needs to be done to enhance our understanding, so we urge Asian men to participate in this survey; it will allow us to continue tailoring and delivering effective and culturally appropriate HIV and sexual health resources and programs.”

GAMS is for men (cis and trans) aged 18 years or above, who have had sex with other men in the past five years, are currently living in NSW, and self-identify as having an Asian background.

The survey will be conducted online and is available in four languages including English, Chinese (simplified), Chinese (traditional) and Thai. Complete the survey for a chance to win one of ten $100 Visa gift cards.

GAMS 2021 is funded by the Blood-Borne Viruses & STI Research, Intervention and Strategic Evaluation Program (BRISE), and supported by the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Gay Men’s Action Group, which consists of ACON, UNSW Sydney’s Centre for Social Research in Health, Metro Sydney-based Local Health Districts, and the Multicultural HIV and Hepatitis Service.

‘It’s discrimination’: Beach resort issues ban on transgender people – Interaksyon

The local LGBT community slammed a local resort over alleged discrimination in its Facebook post announcing a ban on transgender people.

The management of Isla Reta Beach Resort issued the ban in a brief statement on Facebook on May 12, arguing that it has no facilities to accommodate transgender individuals’ demands.

“We inform to the public (sic) we cannot accommodate transgender because we have no facility for them to avoid issues of discrimination,” it said.

In the comments section, Filipinos criticized the management and pointed out that not allowing transgender people from their premises is already a form of discrimination.

“Isn’t not allowing our transgender brothers and sisters a blatant form of discriminatory practice? Please review this policy,” one user said.

“What an irony! Not accommodating transgender is already a discrimination. Why not admit that your customer service is poor and apologize sincerely instead of blabbing about discrimination,” another user said.

“’Avoid the issue of discrimination’, but this is clearly discrimination amongst transgender people by not letting them in. The owner needs awareness. No wonder the staff were ignorant and rude in handling the situation; may pinagmanahan pala,” another user wrote.

Miss Trans Global 2020 Mela Franco Habijan echoed this view and stressed that not accommodating transgender people is an act of discrimination.

“For the sake of clarity, what trans-accommodating facility are we talking about? Because I have been to resorts and I haven’t encountered any resort facility that is ‘trans-exclusive’ facility. The mere fact that ‘you will not accommodate’ trans people like me into your establishment is already an act of discrimination,” Habijan said.

She also lamented that members of the LGBT community, particularly transgender people, continued to face such discrimination today.

“It is painful that we, trans people, continuously receive this hostile and transphobic treatment. Why do have to constantly fight for spaces that cisgender people enjoy?” Habijan said.

As of writing, there is no nationwide policy that prohibits discrimination of sexual orientation in public or private spaces.

There are anti-discrimination ordinances passed in some local government units in the country.

Some clarification?

Following the initial criticisms, the management of the resort tried to clarify that the decision came after they declined a transgender guest to use the women’s shower room. This prompted the latter to accuse them of discrimination on Facebook.

The common shower rooms or areas don’t have separate cubicles once inside, they noted. In line with this, they said that some of their female guests do not feel safe sharing these facilities with transgender people.

“Women are complaining if there are transgenders using it with them. Since then, it has become the management’s policy not to allow transgenders to use the female shower room,” they said.

“The management has no facility yet to cater to the transgenders’ demand for a separate shower room,” they added.

Youth group the University of the Philippines-Babaylan, however, countered this and stressed that transwomen are also women.

“The baseless arguments that trans people need to undergo surgery to be their gender, and that allowing trans women in women’s restrooms enables sexual harassment have been debunked by actual data. Trans women are women, and as this and many other cases have proven, trans people are actually the ones getting harassed in restrooms,” the organization said.

The group then called on the Department of Tourism and the provincial government to sanction the resort and enact a corresponding policy against discrimination.

Ellen DeGeneres says decision to leave TV show was driven by ‘instinct’ – Yahoo Eurosport UK

Ellen DeGeneres said the decision to end her chat show after 19 years was driven by “instinct”.

The comedian and actress announced she was stepping down from her eponymous TV show on Wednesday, following controversy over an alleged toxic workplace environment.

DeGeneres, 63, has now shared more details on why she is walking away and said she knew her 19th series would be her last when she signed a new deal two years ago.

In her monologue for Thursday’s show which was taped on Wednesday, an emotional DeGeneres said: “You may wonder why I’ve decided to end after 19 seasons. The truth is, I always trust my instincts. My instinct told me it’s time. As a comedian, I’ve always understood the importance of … timing.

“In all seriousness, I truly have felt like next season was the right time to end this amazing chapter.”

The show premiered in 2003 and will end in spring 2022.

DeGeneres famously came out as gay in 1997 while starring in Ellen and remains one of the most high-profile LGBT figures in the US.

She compared coming out to leaving The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The presenter said: “In 1997, I knew it was time to come out on my sitcom and live my truth. Back then, I had a vivid dream that a bird flew out of a cage and set itself free because it needed to get out of that cage.

“Recently, I had a dream that a bird, a beautiful bird with bright red feathers, came to my window and whispered, ‘You can still do stuff on Netflix.’ And that was the sign I was looking for.”

DeGeneres also paid tribute to her viewers.

She said: “So, the past 18 years, you have to know, has changed my life. You all have changed my life and I am forever grateful to all of you for watching, for laughing, for dancing … sometimes crying.

“This show has been the greatest experience of my life, and I owe it all to you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

DeGeneres will discuss her decision to leave on Thursday’s show with guest Oprah Winfrey.

Last year she apologised to staff after an internal review by Warner Bros found “deficiencies related to the show’s day-to-day management”.

The review was launched following reports of a toxic work environment on the programme.

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter this week, DeGeneres said: “It almost impacted the show. It was very hurtful to me. I mean, very. But if I was quitting the show because of that, I wouldn’t have come back this season.”

Some States Are Doing What the Federal Government Won’t: Giving Veterans Benefits To Gay Ex-Troops – Texas Standard

Thousands of troops were expelled for being gay before Congress changed the law in 2011. Though many still don’t qualify for federal veterans benefits, they now can receive state benefits in New York, Colorado and other states.
