PermalinkClaire Harvey
Claire Harvey, selected by Bryon Fear for Polari Magazine’s list of LGBT Heroes. For UK LGBT History Month 2012.
Permalink“I find her passion, enthusiasm and determination an inspiration. With LGBT History Month’s focus on sport this year, I cannot think of a more befitting hero who actively champions equality and diversity in an often homophobic environment.”
Ben Cohen
Paul Baker selects Ben Cohen for Polari Magazine’s list of LGBT Heroes. For UK LGBT History Month.
PermalinkThere are too few people involved in macho sports like rugby and football (gay or straight) who will stick their neck out for us, and so Ben is a much-needed friend and hopefully at the forefront of a growing trend.
Polari Magazine is an LGBT arts and culture magazine that explores the subculture by looking at what is important to the people who are in it. It’s about the lives we lead, not the lifestyles we’re supposed to lead.
Its content is informed & insightful, and features a diverse range of writers from every section of the community. Its intent is to help LGBT readers learn about their own heritage and to sustain a link between the present and the past.
Polari is designed to nurture the idea of community, whether that be social and political, or artistic and creative. It is your magazine, whether you want to read it, or whether you want to get involved in it, if you're gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans, or queer.
Polari Magazine is all these: it's a gay online magazine; it's a gay and lesbian online magazine; it's an LGBT arts and culture magazine. Ultimately, it is a queer magazine.
