” – StsGay Arts). ★★★★ Sts Gay Arts. It was simply magic”StsGay Arts, 2022.

Elizabethan is “a hoot, a bawdy entertament, and a display of nsummate mily that brgs tears to the ey” (StsGay Arts). StsGay has been published Stland sce 1994, and ntu to be an sential ntact pot for a muny, that simply bee of the size and nature of Stland, is somewhat sttered, somewhat dissipated, and often the subject of a subtle homophobia that pays lip service to equaly, but often do not monstrate . For many reasons, homophobia tends to crease the further north and more remote you bee the Brish Isl, and so while there is a good foc on Edburgh and Glasgow StsGay, is brilliant to see regular featur and tails of the scene and of gay life plac like Aberen and Inverns, where attus are far om clear and tolerance is ls.

StsGay therefore pris self on verg the whole untry, and has regular lumns om Aberen (Andi Watson), the Highlands (Joanne Mackenzie-Wters), as well as news and lumns om the Central Belt where there are always a heap of fabulo and spirg entertaments, nights out and events to chose om. It’s certa that all the issu of the day are gog to be vered Stsgay, whether s same sex marriage, and for listgs for helpl, partners, anisatns, and well, pretty much anythg else, n’t be beat.
