The couple who run the LGBT+ website PinkNews have been accused of multiple instances of sexual misconduct by staff members.
Anthony James, a director at the company, and his husband, founder Benjamin Cohen, are both alleged to have behaved inappropriately towards junior employees at the UK-based online newspaper. In an investigation by the BBC, several staff members claimed that they saw Mr James kissing and touching a junior colleague who appeared too drunk to consent. The alleged incident is said to have taken place outside a London pub where staff had gathered after a PinkNews event.

Marinating in the milk and honey of Israeli hyperbole
As you might expect, the “sermon near the Mount”, as delivered by Donald Trump to the Knesset in Jerusalem, was less a case of “Blessed are the peacemakers for they will be called the sons of God” as “Blessed are you lot to have me, and you will call me your peacemaker.”
