British Lesbian magazine cover censored

Thought i would alert you to this - our lovely British Lesbian magazine Diva, which this month is devoting the whole issue to sex, has had it's covered censored by a major British newsagent (no prizes for guessing who).   The great British stiff upper lip is still alive and kicking.   I'm sure the same newsagent will still have their many porn magazines on the top shelves with scantily clad women adorning the front covers.    Personally i think it's a great photo, but hey i'm a lesbian so probably biased.   Diva magazine is also confined to the top shelves in most British newsagents as opposed to being included on the shelves with the other women's magazines.  I wonder if they would have done the same thing if it was a gay men's magazine. What does everyone think ?    See article below for full story.

Unbelievable!

Hypocracy strikes again!  Good old middle England eh.  I find this just maddening and will be boycotting the newsagent chain forever now!  Thans for bringing this up, I had not read this.  Grrrrr, off to go throw a brick through the shop window now......

Cover Up

Maybe I'm desensitised from the blood, guts, horror and porn I see on TV (more more!) but that picture is harmless. Totally harmless. In fact I thought it was quite tasteful :-) Someone in 'the newsagent' HQ is a closet lesbian I'm sure of it.
