It was suspended without explanation in early 2007 but the website continues to exist and is updated with news daily. Pinknews.co.uk was ranked the 7th most visited website in the UK in the "Lifestyle - Gay and Lesbian" category by Experian Hitwise in 2012, up from 9th in 2011. Pink News pays special attention to the topic of religion and homosexuality, often denouncing the Vatican for its perceived hostility to the gay community.
