Whilst I was reading the other Westboro article I put up, I saw a link to this hilariously bad cover of Poker Face by the very same people. Enjoy laughing at how awful it is; I know I did!

Belfast Pride launched!
By chocobo_crossing | Filed in Film Reviews, LGBT Announcements, LGBT Events, LGBT Interest, LGBT NewsThe 20th Belfast Pride was launched successfully last night in Queen’s Film Theatre, Belfast. With hordes of priders there for the event, an enlightening and entertaining documentary ‘Pride, Sweat and Tears’ was launched (featuring, in part, yours truly ;P).
The documentary covered the history of Belfast Pride, and I was particularly impressed with some of the old footage from years gone by. With contributions from many members of the Pride committee past and present, as well as high-profile political leadership views from former Mayor and current MP for East Belfast Naomi Long, as well as current Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, the documentary covered all aspects of Pride, from the reasons, to the organisation, to the protestors, to the fun and events… it really is not to be missed!
It is getting a second showing on Tuesday at the Northstar Science Fiction Night Pride Event, which is at The Roost bar on Tuesday 27th, at 8pm, where you will also get to watch a science-fiction triple feature of Doctor Who, Star Trek: Voyager and Family Guy Star Wars!

Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, 27, is to play Isherwood in the film, titled Christopher And His Kind.
It began shooting in Belfast this week and tells the story of the authot as a young man who escapes his suffocating mother to move to Berlin in the 1930s.
The film is based on Isherwood’s memoirs of the same name.
Smith became the 11th Doctor Who last year, succeeding David Tennant.

Smallpox demise linked to spread of HIV infection?
By chocobo_crossing | Filed in Health, LGBT Interest, LGBT News, Other News, SafetyFrom BBC Article:
The worldwide eradication of smallpox may, inadvertently, have helped spread HIV infection, scientists believe.
Experts say the vaccine used to wipe out smallpox offered some protection against the Aids virus and, now it is no longer used, HIV has flourished.
The US investigators said trials indicated the smallpox jab interferes with how well HIV multiplies.
But they say in the journal BMC Immunology it is too early to recommend smallpox vaccine for fighting HIV.
Kill no cure
Lead researcher Dr Raymond Weinstein, from Virginia’s George Mason University, said: “There have been several proposed explanations for the rapid spread of HIV in Africa, including wars, the reuse of unsterilised needles and the contamination of early batches of polio vaccine.
“However, all of these have been either disproved or do not sufficiently explain the behaviour of the HIV pandemic.”
