Charlie Condou a gay parenting columnist and soap star was ‘outed’ as a gay parent in a UK tabloid 22 August 2013
Charlie Condou, known for his starring role in British soap Coronation Street, got a shock when he looked at the front page of the Daily Star. On the cover, the headline reads ‘Corrie Star’s Shock Secret Love Children’ and ‘revealed’ how the actor had ‘secretly fathered two kids with a straight gay pal’. Somewhat embarrassingly for the tabloid newspaper, Condou had a regular column about gay parenting for The Guardian from 2011 to 2012. Mocking the paper, Condou tweeted: ‘Oh god, my secret is out!! great journalism @daily_star’ In one of his first articles for The Guardian, the Corrie star says he has ‘always wanted to be a dad’. ‘After I came out, that changed. I could no longer assume that it was something that would eventually just happen when the right person (or even the wrong person and a faulty condom) came along…‘I talked to my sister, who told me: "When something is this important to you, you’ll find a way." ‘She had absolute faith that I would one day be a father and, I realised, so did I. She was right, this was too important to me not to happen.’ Condou lives with his partner Cameron Laux and is a hands-on dad for his daughter and son Georgia and Hal. The children split their time between the couple and their mother, the actress Catherine Kanter.
THE JUICE
gracedent: Hannah Montana misunderstood the memo about us feminist wimmin turning our backs on Robin Thicke.

Charliecondou: @gracedent is that Beetlejuice humping a blow up doll?
WET AT THE SKETCH

WET AT THE SKETCH
From my secret stash of unused publicity photos here is another of Charlie Condou taken in 2010. You can tell from the raindrops on Charlie's shoulders and chest that May 16th must have been particularly wet.

PUTIN SIGNS LAW BANNING DEMONSTRATIONS AND PROTESTS DURING SOCHI OLYMPICS AND PARALYMPICS
Russian president Vladimir Putin has signed a decree banning demonstrations and rallies during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. According to the AP, the decree, signed on Friday, effectively blocks demonstrations from taking place and will take effect for a two and a half month period (which covers the games). Putin published the decree in the government newspaper. It states all “gatherings, rallies, demonstrations, marches and pickets” which are not part of the Winter Olympics or Paralympics will be barred in the city between January 7 and March 21 2014. The Sochi Winter Olympics is due to take place between February 7-23, and the Paralympics are due to take place on March 7-16, clearly falling within the boundaries of the 'no demonstrations' decree.

OZ POLITICS HEATS UP
Quotes From Tony Abbott to Remind You Why He Shouldn't Be Prime Minister:
On homosexuality:
‘… I feel a bit threatened’
‘If you'd asked me for advice I would have said to have – adopt a sort of “don't ask, don’t tell” policy about all of these things…’
Same sex marriage:
I'm not someone who wants to see radical change based on the fashion of the moment.
On immigration:
‘Jesus knew that there was a place for everything and it’s not necessarily everyone’s place to come to Australia.’
‘These people aren't so much seeking asylum, they’re seeking permanent residency. If they were happy with temporary protection visas, then they might be able to argue better that they were asylum seekers’
On rights at work:
‘If we’re honest, most of us would accept that a bad boss is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband … you find that he tends to do more good than harm. He might be a bad boss but at least he’s employing someone while he is in fact a boss.’
On women:
‘The problem with the Australian practice of abortion is that an objectively grave matter has been reduced to a question of the mother’s convenience.’
‘I think it would be folly to expect that women will ever dominate or even approach equal representation in a large number of areas simply because their aptitudes, abilities and interests are different for physiological reasons’
‘What the housewives of Australia need to understand as they do the ironing is that if they get it done commercially it’s going to go up in price and their own power bills when they switch the iron on are going to go up, every year…’
On climate change:
‘Climate change is absolute crap’
On Indigenous Australia:
‘Now, I know that there are some Aboriginal people who aren't happy with Australia Day. For them it remains Invasion Day. I think a better view is the view of Noel Pearson, who has said that Aboriginal people have much to celebrate in this country’s British Heritage’
‘Western civilisation came to this country in 1788 and I'm proud of that…’
‘There may not be a great job for them but whatever there is, they just have to do it, and if it’s picking up rubbish around the community, it just has to be done’
On sexual intercourse:
