First Issue – Back with a Bang
After much persuasion we’ve decided to re-launch our gay spy section as a bi-weekly magazine style round up of the latest news from the LGBT world but as you’ve come to expect from us we don’t just report the news, we comment on it as well. So along with news and views we also have a few other features lined-up for you in this opening issue of Bi-Weekly.
We’re back and by popular demand. Yes after much persuasion, from you guys, we’ve decided to resurrect our Gay Spy bit but have rebranded it and repacked it in this new bi-weekly magazine format and oddly enough we decided to call it Bi-Weekly too. As well as round up of news, and comment, we also have several other features lined up for you. So without further ado:
Family Gay Orgy Prompts Complaints
A recent episode of animated comedy series Family Guy featured a gay orgy, bestiality and a baby eating horse sperm – basically trying for all the taboos near enough in one episode. Unsurprisingly the episode has provoked outage stateside though we suspect it’s more the gay sex orgy that Americans object too rather than the bestiality. After all didn’t someone marry his horse on Jerry Springer? The Parents Television Council have filed a complaint with the regulator in America over the episode.
“Fox treated viewers to everything from an 11-way gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk. If that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing [sic] about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire programme.” – PTC president Tim Winter
Needless to say the complain hasn’t gone down too well the producers of the show who are very dismissive of it and question the Christian Values of the PTC.
Aussie Fussy over Lesbian Plot
As you may have already read on the site Christians in Australia are getting all hot and bothered over 
a lesbian plot in Home and Away. While in the UK the tabloids would lap up such a storyline it seems “Down Under” the folks there aren’t too happy about the idea of two Shelia’s getting it on. It seems some feel that two girls locking lips just isn’t family viewing. Or for that matter is a pregnant teenager in Neighbours. Has anyone told Australia it’s the 21st century and not the 19th? I mean what do they want to watch on Television if not representation of modern life? The Waltons?
I’ll marry you, but er not you guys
Lillian Ladele was the registrar from Islington who refused to carry out civil partnerships because of her narrow-minded Christian beliefs. The council threatened to sack her and so she went to tribunal which ruled in her favour but the council appealed and won. So Ms. Ladele tried to appeal against that appeal but thankfully someone with common sense denied her right to and also denied her request for costs. Ms Ladele could still continue her legal battle however and Christian Institute has offered to pay her legal costs. However, we’d just like to query a few things. Doesn’t god love us all regardless of what sexuality we are? Isn’t god love? And doesn’t the bible say to love your fellow man?
Refusing to marry someone because of your religious belief is like a cashier refusing to put meat through their checkout because they are a vegetarian. Sometimes in life you have to do things you don’t like because that’s life.

Old favourite Who’s Hotter is back, well how could we not include it? If you pardon the pun but it’s a shameless reason to post photos of hot guys, hopefully topless. As the pun says this week’s its the lads from Shameless. So which do you think is hotter? Which one presses all your buttons? Send your votes to us at editor@atvnewsnetwork.co.uk and the winner will be announced in the next issue!
Skins – Will be back for More
So we’re near the end of the latest season of Skins and E4 reassures us that a fourth season will 
follow. The big question however, is what do you think to the new bunch of characters? They’ve had time to settle in and we’ve got used to them now but are they are good/better than the first bunch of characters? Can Cooke, Freddie and Emily really life up to the likes of Cassie, Maxxie and Tony? Was the decision to ditch the original cast a mistake or is it a gamble that’s paid off? Send your thoughts to: editor@atvnewsnetwork.co.uk
Once again your opinions on this one will be included in the next issue.
Photo of the Week: Lewis
Another excuse to upload a photo of a hunk but like we need to apologise for that! This week’s Photo is of Mr. Billie Piper, aka Laurence Fox who is married to Billie. You probably recognise him from the Inspector Morse spin-off series Lewis which returns very soon and despite what The Daily Express may believe it hasn’t been axed by ITV – at least not yet. Lewis returns to ITV1 on Sunday 22nd March.
Another Nuke Video!
To view video Click Here >>
Not so long ago on Eye Spy there was a You Tube video featuring a clip from American soap As The World Turns that featured the first gay kiss between “Nuke”, a super-couple that has taken the gay world by storm. As Eye Spy featured the first kiss we decided to feature the second. In the next issue we might just include their third kiss or maybe something from our favourite guilty pleasure, Dante’s Cove.
Bi Weekly Recommends: The Lair
Our on DVD now, in the UK, is the first season of trashy supernatural series The Lair. From the team that gave us Dante’s Cove, the ultimate guilty pleasure, this first season tells the story of a reporters investigation into a string of murders which lead him to a sex club and a coven of vampire witches. The first season may only be six episodes long but its six episodes of pure guilty pleasure. As with Dante’s Cove you can’t help but like The Lair.
That’s it for this issue folks; the next issue will be uploaded and ready to read on Wednesday 1st April. Our email address, should you wish to drop us a line, is editor@atvnewsnetwork.co.uk
