Cash to Help Break the Silence for Male Rape Victims


Surprisingly the Government in the UK is trailing behind on supporting male rape victims. It's not just a gay issue of course and it's still a very taboo subject in so many cultures.

I know I'm trailing behind on this but according to Jimmy Fowler in "Blotch," gay marriage "is on the way," call me cynical but I'll believe it when I see it! As much as I want to believe it's on the way, I'm not convinced that some American states can see human rights and equality as necessary.

Nevertheless, lets live in hope that the rights of all GLBT people are recognised in law. It's a shame that a such a progressive nation in so many ways is so far behind the rest of the world on this one. Jimmy, I hope you're right. . . .
