Identity crisis?

This weekend's gay pride parade in London celebrated 40 years since the formation of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) in Britain. This was a watershed moment in British queer history.

1 @ne (@ One) @ne (@ One)
Contemporary evening bar unleashing a range of music genres on the decks, from 80s pop, through to Funky House. Watch out for those buy-one-get-one-free nights early in the week!

2 The Bank Bar The Bank Bar
Billed as 'Newcastle's No. 1 Entertainments Bar', The Bank Bar certainly strives to live up to it's self-styled reputation with regular karaoke, open mic and cabaret nights. Well worth dropping in!

3 Baron and Baroness Baron and Baroness
With a terrace opening out onto Times Square, it's perhaps unsurprising that this bar, initially aimed at the gay audience, is now perhaps not as gay as it once intended and is a popular watering hole of preclubbers in Newcastle.

4 Camp David Bar Camp David Bar
One of Newcastle's classiest, earthiest little bars... candles in the walls, mood lighting and some of the best cocktails in town.

5 The Dog The Dog
Two floors of fun at the Dog... chilled drinking during the day and an altogether more party feel to it at night - its unashamedly bright and jumping especially at the weekend! Popular with a lesbian crowd, but nonetheless a must for everyone at some point during the night, this no-nonsense bar offers terrific drinks deals throughout the week.

6   Eclipse
Modern contemporary in style on two levels.

8 The Loft The Loft
The loft may be small but it's perfectly formed! Chilled areas for chatting including a lovely terrace area with twinkly lights (aaah!), space to chat around the bar area and, obviously, a dancefloor.

  IDAHO : International Day Against Homophobia IDAHO : International Day Against Homophobia
It's difficult to envisage in the relatively open society in which we live in the UK, Europe and Australia, that there are an astonishing 77 countries who punish women, men and children because of their sexuality. But then, it was only in 1990 that the World Health Organisation removed homosexuality from their list of mental disorders. IDAHO - International Day Against Homophobia - exists to provoke action to end Homophobia. A number of events are planned for 17th May 2007, International Day Against Homophobia, around the world. We've listed a few here, so please do attend and show your support.

10 Stonewall Stonewall
While politics and community issues may seem like a distraction to partying the night away, lunching with friends or shopping for the latest designer gear, it is, nevertheless, imperative that everyone in the UK – gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or straight, makes time for an organisation such as Stonewall.
