Pamela Anderson, she of life-saving curves, has volunteered to swap social media for âreading and being in nature,â but it was the chest of Liz Hurley that dominated the online discourse.

RuPaulâs Drag Race (The poise!

YOUNG people in Bournemouth are at the forefront of a new campaign demonstrating the need for more LGBT+ inclusive education in schools. The #YoungerMe campaign, created by Just Like Us, the charity for LGBT+ young people, launches on December 9 and will raise awareness that growing up LGBT+ is still challenging and tough. The online campaign will run at a time when young people are facing increasing isolation over Christmas, worsened by coronavirus restrictions. Several LGBT+ young people – who are ambassadors for the charity and give talks in schools in Bournemouth and across the country – are sharing their experiences growing up and what needs to change for schools to be happier, safer places for those within the LGBT+ community.
