Petition and new blog

Remember that petition that went round asking the UK government not to deport a young gay man back to Iran, because he would only be executed when he got there? Thank you everyone who signed! We have a partial success – the government has promised to re-think and for now he’s safe.

Here is a further petition which will continue to put the pressure on in case they feel inclined to change their minds:

Also – and only ever so slightly loosely connected – there is a new blog in town on the subject of gay historic romance. Owned by Erastes, Lee Rowan, Charlie Cochrane and me, with contributions from our very own Emma Collingwood and several other writers of published historical slash, it’s called The Macaronis, and you can find it here: The Macaronis
