 The Simpsons has revealed yet another of its characters is gay.
In the episode which aired this week in the US, Homer starts another new business, “Sweet Conclusions”, which manages relationship break-ups on behalf of others. One of his first clients is Grady (voiced by gay comedian Scott Thompson), who has been seen previously as Homer’s flatmate. As Grady phones Homer to tell him he’s met a new man, guess who pops out of the bathroom - Duff Man who goes on to zing Grady with his towel.
The satirical cartoon show has been credited with including numerous gay and lesbian characters in its record-breaking 20 year history.

 The TUC is calling on employers to stop discriminating against transgender people in the workplace on International Trans Memorial Day today (Thursday).
Violent attacks on people because of their sexuality are well documented – much less well known are the murderous assaults committed against transgender people.
In September 2008 at least 25 transgender people were murdered across the world, for no other reason than the fact that they were different. International Trans Memorial Day will remember trans people across the world who have been the victims of such crimes, and aims to bring them to public attention. In Britain the trans community continues to face violent physical attacks, alongside prejudice and discrimination in communities and at work.
