Bliss was commissioned by Manbar in Charing Cross to paint a huge mural of the Prince. The mural was inspired by Harry's notorious shirtless photos of him playing rugby in Afghanistan. Of course, his appeal was only bolstered by his recent shirtless stint in Las Vegas.
And this was not the first time Bliss has created Harry-inspired art. He made several limited edition prints in the past.

12 Men Accused Of Being Gay Face Execution In Libya
An extremist Salafist militia posted pictures of a group of men it had captured over the weekend. The men are being threatened with mutilation and execution.

According to Gay Star News (GSN), the militia captured the men during a private party in Ain Zara, a suburb of Tripoli, on Thursday, November 22. Since then, the "special deterrence unit" has posted pictures to its Facebook page referring to the men as the "third sex," an Arabic term to describe homosexuals, and they are threatening to harm (and kill) the men. The pictures have been filled with comments, such as "flog them hard!"
Human Rights Watch Libya posted a comment to the militia's Facebook page asking that the group not harm the men and "to hand [them] to the civil authorities."
The militia group, which claims to be a legal part of the Libyan Ministry of Interior, has not responded. The human rights group has since identified them as the Al-Nawasi militia — a group of extreme Salafists.
While the situation for LGBT people since Qadaffi [Gadaffi] regime has improved, it's still very dangerous for the community. A Libyan LGBT activist told GSN:
We never had any gay nightclubs in Libya, so it is not uncommon for Libyans — straight, bisexual and gay men to party in a private space, drink, dance, have fun and sometimes even have sex. That fact that they were captured by this extreme Salafist militia is very worrying.

On Sunday, November 25, gay rights activists gathered for the Fifth Delhi Queer Pride parade in New Delhi. The small group, which dropped in numbers from previous years, marched through the city in efforts to eliminate taboos associated with the country's deeply conservative society.
Just three years after India's courts decriminalized gay sex, the LGBT community is still fighting for equal legal, social, and medical rights.

Thomas, who announced he was gay in December of 2009 and retired from the sport immediately following an injury in 2011, touched on being gay in the sports world.
On coming out:
My fear of coming out wasn't about rejection. I was scared people would say: "Why were you lying to me? If you've been lying about that what else are you lying about?" Lying is my biggest regret.
On his past marriage:
Neither my ex-wife nor I regret getting married. There was so much good in the seven years we spent together. The regret for me is the hurt I caused not just her but my parents, too.
On closeted players:
Other sportsmen have confided in me that they're gay. The advice I give is that coming out is great for you as a person, but that you also have to remember you're a role model. As a sportsman you take the money and the glory, but you also take the responsibility that comes with it and make sure the stories that follow are positive.

Los Angeles-based DJ, Paul V, uses the Lady Gaga title track's namesake for a powerful blog to document how gender and sexuality may have nothing to do with traits displayed by children.
The creator of the blog explains that “some of the pix here feature gay boys with feminine traits, and some gay girls with masculine traits ... And just like real life, these gay kids come in all shades and layers of masculine and feminine."
The goal of the blog - and the just released book - is to teach children that being gay is as normal as being straight by showing people just "being."

AP Drops "Homophobia" From Its Stylebook
The Associated Press is trying to discourage the use of “homophobia” and other terms associated with violence.
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
The Associated Press Stylebook's changes for 2013 include an updated entry for "-phobia," which now explicitly says "not [to] use in political or social contexts."
Because of the association with violent activities, the AP is trying to discourage the use of terms like "homophobia," "Islamophobia," and "ethnic cleansing."
"When you break down 'ethnic cleansing,' it's a cover for terrible violent activities. It's a term we certainly don't want to propagate," AP Deputy Standards Editor Dave Minthorn told POLITICO. "Homophobia especially — it's just off the mark. It's ascribing a mental disability to someone, and suggests a knowledge that we don't have. It seems inaccurate. Instead, we would use something more neutral: anti-gay, or some such, if we had reason to believe that was the case."
However, not everyone agrees with the changes.
Dr. George Weinberg, who coined the term “homophobia” in 1972, told Think Progress why he disagrees with the update:
It made all the difference to City Councils and other people I spoke to. It encapsulates a whole point of view and of feeling. It was a hard-won word, as you can imagine. It even brought me some death threats. Is homophobia always based on fear? I thought so and still think so. Maybe envy in some cases. But that’s a psychological question. Is every snarling dog afraid? Probably yes. But here it shouldn’t matter. We have no other word for what we’re talking about, and this one is well established. We use "freelance" for writers who don’t throw lances anymore and who want to get paid for their work. Fowler even allows us to mix what he called dead metaphors. It seems curious that this word is getting such scrutiny while words like triskaidekaphobia (the fear of the number 13) hangs around.
The update will be reflected in next year's print edition.

Adam Driver plays Adam Sackler, Hannah's aloof boyfriend, in the HBO series Girls. In an interview with GQ, the actor talks about watching the show and way people have reacted to his character.
On his sex scenes:
"'Cause the thing about those sex scenes is that we work to make sure you learn something about the characters—it's not just sex for sex's sake. The more I focus on pushing the story forward, the less I'm aware that I'm saying things like 'Step on my balls' and 'Let me shoot on your face.'"
On his character:
"After the first couple of episodes, people started coming up to me and saying, 'You're an asshole, but I like you.' But as the show unfolded, people were saying more flattering things. I was surprised by how important it was for people to decide whether I was likable. It's good that they like my character, but it was never part of the dialogue."
On what his take on the show is:
"You know, I haven't seen any of the actual episodes. I don't have cable."

HIV+ Graphic Novel Gets Digital Release For World AIDS Day
On the fifth anniversary of its initial release, Lost Raven , the award-winning graphic novel, will be made available online.
Written by Darren G. Davis, the novel provides a different perspective on being HIV positive. Instead of dying, as so many characters do in movies and books about AIDS, the main character is living and fighting.
The novel channels the raw emotion of the author, who is also HIV positive — a diagnosis he received in 1999 — and is said to be based on a journal he kept following the diagnosis.
For those not familiar with the story, Lost Raven is about a lawyer who is diagnosed with HIV and then sets sail for a new life before encountering a mysterious island.
Check out a couple of panels from the first few pages of the graphic novel.

"Jenifer Lewis and Shangela"
