  • Gay News is a year old. Is ‘The Happiness Club’ blackmailing gay members? What do MPs think about homosexual law reform? Should Scarborough police have raided and closed a dance studio because a quarter of its members were gay? Reviews include Monty Python’s Flying Circus at the Theatre Royal, Norwich and Theatre of Blood.

  • Please see the Project’s policy on censorship. This edition has been censored by us in one place: the cover of Issue 14 is reproduced on page 6. Whilst we don’t, per se, believe the picture to be pornographic, the models were clearly underage and deserve to have their identities hidden.

  • Gay News has never sunk its teeth into public scandals before. It is not our last attempt either. Gay News is neither public watchdog nor gay saint… but we do have a growing responsibility to advise and warn on matters such as Dennis Stanbury’s Happiness Club. And we’ve only just begun. – page 3
