‘When politicians leave sex alone, I’ll leave politics alone’
(It looks like a picture book – my seven-year-old picked it up and in a sing-song voice started reading, “A is for Anal…”) And yet, “There’s a strong moral code that sometimes upsets my lefty, progressive queer readers.” It’s a strange position to be in, he admits, with rightwingers complaining he’s an anarchistic hedonist who tells people anything goes, and the far queer left saying he’s a judgmental assimilationist. “When I’m in the middle trying to figure out how to make relationships work. That’s where I’m really conservative.”

How the Rise of the ‘Softboy’ Fueled the Culture Wars
For decades, to the extent that male icons defined the popular media landscape, it was with a familiar archetype — the tough guy in denim and leather who used drugs and women with equal carelessness, discarding them before moving onto the next town and the next night.
America’s cultural landscape can’t be fully depicted through a few neat archetypes, but to understand how and why it’s changed so drastically over the past two decades, and why the reaction has been so strong — and to some, unexpected — one could do much worse than to consider the rise of the softboy, and what, and who, he stepped over to reach the cultural summit.

“I understand the reason the Strictly bosses might do it is coming from a good place, but it does kind of muddy the waters for the judges,” he said.
“If you’ve got two partners who can do lifts and men’s bodies are different shapes, how would that work?”
Following widespread backlash on social media, the RuPaul’s Drag Race UK judge addressed his comments on Twitter and celebrated Nicola for making history on the long-running dance competition.
“Oh God. This is entirely my own fault,” he wrote. “Ages ago gave a throwaway comment to a journalist. Clever clogs remembered and now look! So sorry.
