There's no question about it: Jeopardy is one of the best-known quiz shows around. American Amy Schneider has now set a very special record. She managed to win a total of 40 shows and collected more than a million dollars. Now, however, her winning streak is over. Amy Schneider was on Jeopardy for more than two months. This is a very special record. The principle behind Jeopardy is quickly explained: The winner is allowed to come back again and again and defend his or her title. That's what happened to Amy Schneider. She won and won and thus managed to appear on the show as a contestant for two months. Now, however, she has been replaced by Rhone Talsma, also queer. However, the disappointment should be limited. With a winning sum of the equivalent of 1.2 million euros, leaving is certainly not difficult. Schneider was able to win through her participation...

The current omicron wave not only has Germany firmly in its grip. Worldwide, the numbers are shooting up in a wide variety of countries and more and more people are having to isolate themselves for several days. That's exactly what can put a strain on existing relationships sooner or later. Regardless of how long two people have been together: If they are forced to spend time together and no one can go "out for some fresh air," friction occurs more often. If necessary, the following tips can help make the quarantine or isolation period a little more harmonious. Tip No. 1: Use free spaces wärend the quarantine (if possible) Even within a shared apartment it is possible to "fight" for a little free space.

The state parliament in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania demands that rainbow flags may also be flown on official buildings in the future. Currently, only the so-called "sovereign flags" are allowed here. Many members of the SPD, Die Linke, FDP and Die Grünen parties voted for a rethink. In connection with special occasions, it should now also be possible to hoist "non-sovereign" flags. If a decision were made accordingly here, it would be a kind of "caesura" in a sense. In other federal states, it is already permitted to hang the rainbow flag, for example in front of the city hall, as part of the CSD. In the past, a corresponding procedure was criticized especially by the CDU and the AfD. How do the critics argue? The fact that many representatives of conservative parties are not enthusiastic about two people of the same sex loving each other, for example, is not new. On the part of the CDU, the rejection of the r...

Many stars are keen to show their best side, especially in the colorful Instagram world. Riccardo Simonetti, however, has proven that it is also possible to take a different path here. He has published a post in which he confesses to having wet his pants in his car. The reactions to this varied. Some celebrated Simonetti for sharing this moment with his followers. For others, however, the whole thing fell into the category of "too much information. Riccardo Simonetti: What happened?

Rather, when looking at one particular post, it seemed as if Simonetti was speaking to a good friend... And not to thousands of followers. "If you think you're having a bad day, I think mine is b....

Recently, the #outinchruch campaign made waves. The background: many people who are active in the church came out as queer under the hashtag. Now Cardinal Marx has spoken out... And seems to be less skeptical about the whole thing than many might have assumed. What is interesting, however, is that his statement is against the Vatican. According to Cardinal Marx, gay men should also be allowed to become priests His statement may have surprised many members of the church, but also many critics. Because: Apparently Cardinal Reinhard Marx sees no problem in it, if for example a gay man would like to become a priest. So he explained in the context of a press conference that not everyone is forced to openly state whether he is gay or straight, for example. However, if the person concerned decides to do so of his own free will, this should be respected. The sexual orientation of a person should not be allowed to influence his or her...

"Sexy" is a broad term. What one person finds appealing may be completely uninteresting, perhaps even unattractive, to another. But how is it actually possible to appeal to as many men as possible with your own individual sexiness? The following tips can help, but are not a "patent remedy". After all, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. However, the details in the list can perhaps help you to start the spring of 2022 a little "sexier". Tip No. 1: An appealing scent The motto "I can smell you well!" is by no means just an empty phrase. Because: Whether a person is perceived as likeable or attractive is often decided to a large extent by the sense of smell. If you want to flirt in the spring, you should go for light fragrances. And be careful! Especially with regard to fragrances, the following often applies: less is more! Who uses too many fragrances because he uses deodorant, shower...

AfD makes mood against queer commissioner Sven Lehmann From the beginning, the AfD made no secret of the fact that it is not enthusiastic about the fact that there is now a queer commissioner. Now, however, the verbal attacks seem to become more precise. For example, MP Enrico Komning (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) accused Sven Lehmann of making "criminal" demands. This is precisely what would cause "irreparable psychological damage" to children. What exactly is Enrico Komning bothered about? The bone of contention seems to be Lehmann's demand that it should be possible for a child to have four parents with custody. "Children are our future and not the object of self-realization trips by wealth-addled underemployed left-green ideologues," the AfDler explained further in this context. In addition, he turned in said video directly to the Chancellor and called on him "[...] Protect our children from Sven Lehmann!". Special...
