On homophobia in Hollywood:

I'm really surprised by the level of homophobia that still exists here in Hollywood. I've been here for a week, and I had dinner with a big movie star and his boyfriend, and he is not out because of fear. I also had lunch with a daytime soap star and his boyfriend, and they are also not out because of fear. I find that really surprising because I'm very out in my career at home. I'm with my partner, we go out together, we have children and it’s never been an issue. I'm particularly surprised to see there’s so much fear surrounding gay people here in Los Angeles. It’s a shame.”

homes under the silver hammer

Birdyword: If you earned less than £63,000 in the year to February, the average London house is earning more than you.

Charliecondou: RT @Birdyword: If you earned less than £63,000 in the year to February, the average London house is earning more than you.

DavidLammy: #London house prices up 18% in last year alone. When will Mayor learn that lack of homes risks making London an unaffordable & divided city?
