Retro Homo's are back in style!

To celebrate LGBT History Month in February the men of Manchester's Lesbian and Gay Foundation (LGF) are developing as much testosterone as they can muster to develop a more hirsute look in order to raise funds for the charity.

On the 1st February the guys will stop shaving, put their smooth flawless complexions to one side and cultivate their inner Burt Reynolds in celebration of queer heritage.Shaving will continue to cease until the 29 February when all the guys get together to see how well they have done with a special photo shoot.

Chair of the LGF's Board of Trustees David McGovern is thrilled to be facing up to leading the growth challenge he said: 'Secretly, I have been looking for an excuse to grow facial hair and a moustache like my hero Burt Reynolds.'

He continues, "I can't think of a better reason to realise a secret long held ambition and raise money for such a fantastic cause at the same time."

A spokesperson for LGF said: 'As much as we appreciate David's enthusiasm in likening himself to Burt Reynolds we have always seen him as a bit of a Dolly (Parton) ourselves.'
