Online magazine, The Pink Humanist is published by the UK LGBT charity the Pink Triangle Trust (PTT).
It features topics of special interest to those who identify as atheists, freethinkers, humanists, sceptics and secularists in the LGTB communities and those who support them.
The latest (Summer 2016) issue of the magazine has, as its cover story, an exclusive interview with novelist Victor Pemberton, 84, best known for writing Doctor Who scripts. Pemberton, a humanist who lives on the Costa Blanca in Spain, is about to undertake a 10,000 km round trip to the Arctic to raise money for the charity Help for Heroes.
In the aftermath of the Orlando gay club atrocity, Pink Humanist editor Barry Duke, hits out at those who insist that terrorists such as Omar Mateen, who massacred so many gays at the club in Orlando, are ‘aberrant’ Muslims, and who flatly refuse to acknowledge the fact that “Islam itself is an aberration, a ghastly, inhumane ideology bent on destroying everything in its path”.
Other features in the Summer issue include:
♦ An examination of LGBT rights in Singapore.
♦ A tribute to flamboyant bisexual Italian politician Marco Panella, who died earlier this year. Pannella was a libertarian who fought hard for gay rights over many decades and was a constant thorn in the side of the Roman Catholic Church.
♦ A riposte to an attack on women and gays by a Euro Weekly News journalist who suggested that Spain was better off under Francisco Franco’s rule.
♦ An article by Nigerian human rights campaigner Leo Igwe, who attacks the Kenyan authorities for de-registering an atheist group.
