Beer With Ben Anyone?
I've been looking forward to going to support Ben Cohen at the 2 Brewers since I first heard about the event there. "Beer With Ben" is a fundraising night helping to launch his Acceptance Tour, promoting anti-bullying and anti-homophobia. He has already done one night in Manchester hosted by their local inclusive rugby club the Spartans. Check out this video from YouTube (Blogger is not letting me add the video at the moment). The night at the 2 Brewers, on 20th April, is in conjunction with the Kings Cross Steelers. I strongly believe in what Ben is trying to do. In some respects I think it is more important to get more straight allies, than to have more out gay sports people. Straights outnumber us, so there are more of them to educate and win over, so the more straight examples of accepting people we can get the better. My problem is that I can't find anyone to accompany me to this important night. My "rugby friends" don't want to go out on a work night and the rest of my friends just aren't interested. I don't want to go on my own, but I may have to if I want to find out more about what Ben is trying to do. We'll see if I can win some friends over.

who he?
Who he?
Ben Cohen is an English rugby player, one of the winning team from the 2003 Six Nations & World Cup teams.
He is also a strong straight ally for us. He is beginning an Acceptance tour promoting equality and anti-bullying & anti-homophobia. He also works for other charities including the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution).
All in all an amazing guy.
To top it all he is gorgeous, has a great body and just enough hair in the right places to make many a gay man drool!
