Release Your Inner Glabber!

This week saw the launch of a new online hub for members of the gay, lesbian and bisexual  (GLaB) community and their friends. GLaBUK has been set up by myself, my financee and two of our gay best friends. We decided to create an entertainment website for the LGB community to gather together our favourite books, music, films and celebrity profiles for other people to enjoy and relate to.

We have also created LGB history pages to document key movements which have helped to build on LGB rights in the UK and beyond. There's still a long way to go until gay, lesbian and bisexual people are equal to heterosexuals across the world, but it's important to reflect on how the world is changing for the better.

So, what can you expect from GLaBUK.com? The website is still in its early stages, with a mountain of content ready to be written up and shared with the world. What we would love is for you to join us! Being part of an LGB community (or a GLaBber as we like to call it!) is not only a fantastic opportunity to meet other people, but it also helps to build a sense of pride for who you are and what you believe in.

Why not take a look at the selection of films, books and celebrities that are currently on the site. If you don't see your favourite there yet, we would love for you to share them!

There's also a range of articles on the site which I'm sure many of you can relate to, from PDAs to living with HIV, written by Jayce Carberry.

Got a story to tell? You too can be a GLaBber and become part of a growing online and supportive community. Feel free to contact us on our website or tweet us @GlabUKOfficial, we would love to hear from you!

The New Normal to premiere tonight!

Creator of American Horror Story and Glee, Ryan Murphy is no stranger to representing diversity on TV. The extremely popular musical comedy Glee for one has aired a string of same-sex relationships, coming out stories and homophobic bullying. The show has influenced thousands of young people over its three seasons, and helped them to recognise that being ‘different’ is okay, in fact it’s kind of cool.

Now, Murphy breaks boundaries once again with the new US comedy The New Normal. Due to premiere on E4 tongiht, the series follows Beverley Hills couple Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha) as they  try to have a baby, the one thing they see as missing from their lives.

Bryan and David seek the help of a surrogate in an effort to make their dream a reality and are paired up with Goldie (Georgia King), a waitress and single mum from Ohio who has recently arrived in California on the run from her dead-end existence. Goldie needs the surrogacy payment to look after her daughter eight-year-old daughter Shania (Bebe Wood) and fulfil her ambition of going back to college.

Trouble arises when Goldie’s small-minded grandmother Jane (Ellen Barkin) turns up in hot pursuit determined to prevent Goldie from going through with the surrogacy arrangement. Will Goldie manage to defy Jane and create the beginnings of a new family unit, or will Bryan and David's baby dreams be thwarted?

The pilot episode of this great new comedy airs tonight at 9pm on E4, with a cameo appearance from none other than Gwyneth Paltrow.

Here’s a sneak preview from NBC of what’s to come:
