Twenty-something and gay, Blue has sold up his London flat and gone to live in Manila, vibrant capital of the Philippines – home to hustlers, ladyboys and a notorious criminal underworld.

So starts Manila Boy by Patrick Everard, out 28th September 2010.

Blue wants sex and he wants adventure and he very quickly seems to be getting both… by the shovelful. But, as always, there are complications. Before long he finds himself in loco parentis to an abandoned street kid and, worse, he’s falling in love with his first one-night stand, the gorgeous, intelligent Filipino journalist Troy.

Set amidst the decadence and terror of pre-war Fascist Germany, the multi award-winning Bent is above all a powerful and moving love story.

Recounting the fate of three homosexual men during the rise of Nazism, the film is a harrowing but inspirational tale of struggle against oppression. 

This Dual Format Edition (Blu-ray and DVD) features the film restored in HD and many special features.

Special Features include Theatrical Trailer, Interviews with Sean Mathias, Martin Sherman, Clive Owen, Lothaire Bluteau, Ian McKellen and Mick Jagger, On Set Footage and Music Video for Streets of Berlin performed by Mick Jagger.

A survey conducted by QUOD.TV, the UK's leading lesbian, gay, bisexual & transgender, (LGBT) entertainment and cultural website, offers a fascinating insight into the lifestyles of gay men and lesbians living in Britain.

Results from the survey of 1,013 people, conducted by QUOD.TV throughout July in association with Stonewall, showed:

·         61% of  those currently without partners are ‘happy to be single’
·         More than 51% of gays think they will find true love through internet dating than straight people (36%)
·         Only 26% of those in a relationship have been in it longer than 6 months

Other results of the survey showed the gay community to be tech savvy with almost half watching movies on the internet (47%). Comedies were by far the most popular choice of film among respondents.
