The gay life goes on show
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Britain's largest homosexual lifestyle exhibition will take place at Earls Court on 10 and 11 December, writes Greg Orme.
More than 30,000 people are expected to attend Gay Lifestyles, which attracted 10,000 in its first year - 1992. Organisers expect it to break even for the first time.
The exhibition has attracted interest from many companies including Nike, the American sports footwear manufacturer, and the Virgin group. The 250 stands will reflect aspects of gay life from night-clubbing and fitness to jobs, and include international exhibitors the Amsterdam Tourist Board and the Key West Business Guild, from Florida.
Zipper, a British gay magazine, is backing a stand to appeal to certain gay lifestyles with bondage gear and sex aids on sale.
'This will be the biggest and the best Gay Lifestyles exhibition ever,' said Brian McLaughlin, the organiser. 'There is no equivalent anywhere in the world.'
Last year eight volunteer Metropolitan officers set up an exhibit and promoters are hoping that the 'pink' police will return.
