MICHAEL GUNNING'S OWN EXPERIENCES OF HOMOPHOBIA AND RACISM FUELLED HIS FIGHT FOR EQUALITY IN SPORT Michael Gunning knows how to make a splash both in and out of the pool, as a passionate advocate for equality, diversity and inclusion in sport. One of the few openly gay athletes, the professional swimmer has faced enough homophobia and racism over the years to gauge how much more work still needs to be done. Diving in as a cover star of the Attitude August Body Issue, out now to download and to order globally, Michael – who publicly came out as gay whilst appearing in the 2018 reality TV series The Bi Life – recalls being given the cold shoulder by some of his peers.

The cult of Alexis Stone speaks to more than 900,000 followers on Instagram, eclipsing many of the most popular Drag Race girls on both sides of the pond.With such an awesome profile, Elliot’s creation is one of a handful of (drag) artists in the world to have achieved success without having to lipsync for her life or tackle Snatch Game.  BUY NOW ERASURE TO CELEBRATE NEW ALBUM 'THE NEON' WITH UK TOUR AND MAMMOTH SHOW AT LONDON'S O2 ARENA The iconic synth-pop duo are heading out on the road this October.
