“Join a lovable group of children in a delightful romp through an explanation of diversity, understanding it better, encouraging them to be compassionate towards others, regardless of who they are.

St. Marks Debate: Ignorance Is Not A Point Of View
The debate around the St Marks “Sex in the City – Is Gay Okay?” discussion held at the church three weeks ago just doesn’t seem to want to die.

St Marks, “Dr”. Woolard Reject Science As “Claptrap” Since It Doesn’t Suit Their Prejudice
I note with amusement in the letters column of today’s Herald, that ‘Dr.’ Woolard still hasn’t provided any of his alleged scientific sources which he claims to prove that LGBT people are the consequence of molestation, pedophilia, “broken homes” or masturbation.

It’s very concerning. Unfortunately this is what happens when religious conservativism is allowed to run riot, and when that very important line…

Recently I was asked to write a review of a movie, something which turned out to be far more of a pleasure than a chore. It is something I really enjoyed doing, and I thank Anna from the studio and the director, Gustavo Camelot for the opportunity. With that, here is my review: Broken Glass,…
Milk – A Movie Review
Tuesday night I went to watch the new movie “MILK” at Uptown theaters in Port Elizabeth, accompanied by my girlfriend Tuuli and my mom. Although we had already seen this movie on a pc, we decided to see it on the big screen as they say, and to support Uptown for supporting us. Uptown is the…
