This year will see the revival of the Miss Gay UK competition. Organiser Leah Shafik and her partner Nina, will be holding regional heats throughout the year before a final to decide the overall winner in Novemeber 2007.
Speaking about the idea for the competition Leah said, "Our idea to organise the Miss GayUK competition came from a discussion we had, raising the question, are you a woman who is gay or are you a gay woman? The difference is slight but significant."
So what qualities are they looking for in a Miss GayUK? A woman who can best represent the modern day Lesbian in the UK and can be a role model within the Gay communities. Each entrant will be required to represent themselves externally as well as internally. Throughout the whole competition, entrants will be helping local charities by fundraising during each heat and the final. The person who raises the most money in the heat will be given bonus points which could help put them in the lead to win the heat but will also give them the opportunity, in the final, to be crowned Miss GayCharity.
"We intend each heat to be a fun evening and to raise the lesbian profile on a generally male dominated scene." Leah added. "We are extremely excited about the competition and cant wait for the first event to take place to see all of our hard work come to fruition."
The final for the competition will be held at The Nightingale night club in Birmingham on 9th November 2007. For more information head on over to www.missgayuk.co.uk

, asexuals may eggane in non-sexual romantic relationships. These are labeled depending on the genders of the people involved (i.e. homoromantic relationships would be between people of the same gender).On this SAME SPECTRUM we have bisexuals, homosexuals, heterosexuals, and pansexuals. As all of these terms describe the way a person can identify their sexuality, one CANNOT be an asexual homosexual. It's the same thing as saying one lacks attraction to others, sexually, BUT is interested in the same gender, sexually. This is contradictory. Again, to say that one is a homoromantic asexual (meaning, in love with someone of the same gender otherwise, but not sexually attracted to) is correct.Some people who SHOW a disinterest in sex (and may or may not actually BE disinterested in sex) are not asexual at all, but may be suffering from a personality disorder, such as schizoid personality disorder or avoidant personality disorder. These personality disorders are also rare in the general population.While I am not a doctor or psychologist, I find sexuality and mental health fascinating and everything I have written is based in fact, not my opinion.
