She’s probably got the out that she’ll have been told to go by the channel bosses and “look how visibly uncomfortable I am in the photo” but in her position I’d have said I was uncomfortable going given my abusive ex (or at the very least an ex with an acrimonious split) was likely to be both in attendance and on the arm of LR.

Do you think the channel told her to go? I didn't even think of that.
It must really piss guest off when she sees that photo where her ex (trainers aside) has had a massive glow up since she escaped her clutches next to her ‘undefined’ looking like she has fallen into a nursery dressing up box from the 80s and is trying to style it out like a soap star from the 90’s.
Big Lin chose to do a video with them and their kid to launch Lesbian Visibility Week too. I mean why? It’s very weird. Although I’m enjoying Jake’s look of horror at guest waving around that framed award thing
This makes it sound like they sent a team, and the award was for the channel rather than her so I would speculate as she’s a fairly high up lesbian at C4, she was told to go and accept it for them?
Not squigged as he’s a public figure.

Luckily for LJC, LR seems to enjoy getting her photo taken with lots of people. It seems somewhat baked in to these reach-around events. Reminds me of certified wrong 'uns using this as a tactic for self-preservation.
Anyway, these "celebs" need to get back in their box and let the civilian gays spine bright at Eurovision! And that reminds me, I don't want to hear anything from guest on NATO's current firepower or cold takes regarding
.
I see Big L is godparent to one of their children. These awards she keeps organising seem a very closed shop really. Same faces popping up to present and receive awards.

Must be due another ceremony for something in about a month I imagine.
Yeah, I think it is pride month this month or next month so she will get some more corporate dollars for another made up ceremony.
I’m going to perhaps be controversial here and say I really don’t like the stuff Cold War Steve puts out. How many times can he do a rehash of the same thing?!
Applies equally to all the boring centrist twitter bellends: Tan, Russ, Simon, Pie.
SNORE.
He’s not wrong. He’s a twit, but he’s not wrong here. This is bull posing. Jack’s nightmeat Tesco is along that parade.Sorry if this was already done fraus but I am EXHAUSTED trying to keep up with grunking, but did we see this one from fellow Southend grifter and Jack adjacent Simon Harris?
Apparently it isn't all crappy bungalows!
I think most people wearing that t-shirt will only know about it from watching the film and wanting to feel a sense of solidarity with the experiences of the elders in our community? You can buy the t-shirt from Gay’s the Word bookshop, Housmans bookshop (who are very explicit about where it’s come from) or from the People’s History Museum who hold the LGSM archive, so I don’t think lack of awareness will be an issue in this case.I agree. My community was destroyed by Thatcher & it irks me to say the least that somebody is wearing that T-shirt & probably has no bloody idea about it's history, & the effect it's still having.
Like maybe this person in the photo is a gob and just thought it was a “right-on” t-shirt to wear without any of idea of why it needed to exist in the first place. But there will also be plenty of people who got it precisely because of the history of the campaign, the effects that the politics of the 80s and 90s had and continue to have on LGBTQ+ people, and in recognition of what our community went through. And possibly a little bit in thanks and gratefulness to those who fought for our rights before us.
To bring it back on topic, it irks me that Jack never seems to interact with the complexity of our shared history. Whenever she claims an identity, it’s always about what it means for her, and what she herself can get out of it. It’s never about solidarity or understanding her place in that community’s world. Case in point, all these award shows that she bad pennies her way into.
So disappointed to see some folkies I really admire (Grace Petrie, O’Hooley and Tidow) yucking it up at Big Linda’s Bash. Makes me wonder if as a Media Lesbian you feel under pressure to attend these things, surely they can’t be unaware of her dodginess?
Patreon drops, the sue Lee deadline is up this month and I think we're going to see a relationship reveal or a dumped Jack chaos.
Happy May!
Happy May!
To be fair they don’t look too happy to be in those photos. In the other pics, Old Riley looks quite cosy with her other winners but the body language between them says it all there.LJC makes a living through hard hitting docs and exposé yet she supports phoneys like LR and Jack and is happy to be seen doing soDispatches needs to get their eyeballs on these grifters.
I wonder if OR was slipping into Jack’s DMs while LJC was still around? I’d be mad if my girlfriend had some weird friendship with an older woman who was obviously into her.
I was today years old when I finally saw who LJC actually was.
When I first discovered LGBT media (very early teens, before coming out) I assumed every gay person with a platform must have good intentions and be worth supporting just for the representation. It was an extremely naive attitude. Can't speak about Diva magazine because I've never read it, but I totally understand what you're saying.as one half of a butch/femme couple, I stopped reading Diva years ago as nothing about the magazine spoke to me or my corner of the L at all!
It's 'Pits and Perverts' which is a reference to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbians_and_Gays_Support_the_Miners
ETA: Sorry, was a few pages behind and didn't notice loads of people had answered this already.

I think it’s in a fortnight…
The May edition of That Mans newsletter just arrived in my inbox. Featuring recipes to feed a crowd and make your money go further/£1 wonder hacks. Everything beautifully photographed and very appealing. No bizarre substitutions for binding ingredients for something that'll turn it into pig-swill. No trumpet blasts about how hard he works to keep these recipes free. No egotistical ramblings. It's the difference between seeing an RSC production of King Lear and Skegness Am Dram at the community centre.
