Admittedly: After quite a few setbacks and disappointments, it can be that the confidence in online dating dwindles a little. But why is that? Actually, online dating is just like dating in real life: If you've drawn a blank or two, you usually appreciate the next lucky break even more. The following reasons show why it's so important not to lose faith in the good in men, even after unwanted dick pics or inappropriate come-ons - and to observe the world of dating and the like with a good-natured wink. Reason No. 1: And CUT! Who does not know it? The guy sounded so promising in the chat, maybe even on the phone... and now? In the restaurant you(n) simply have nothing more to say to each other. How convenient that in online dating it is usually much less complicated to say goodbye. Pushy and persistent contemporaries can be blocked. This makes...

Politicians want to counter violence against queers more decisively In the past, many queers who were victims of homophobic violence were ashamed of it or decided not to report the acts because they were often not taken seriously. Meanwhile, the situation has improved in many cities. And yet: it often seems that the extent of violence against queers is still underestimated by many people. Senator of the Interior Geisel (SPD) is now working hard to change just that. Among other things, the police and the public are to be made more aware. Among other things, his plan is to set up a committee of experts. Geisel's plan in detail Geisel plans to commission an independent panel of experts to develop concepts on how violence against queers can be better recorded. Because: Even in cosmopolitan Berlin, there is still a lack of transparency. Many people become victims of homophobic attacks...

Now it's official: the city of Hannover declares itself an LGBTQI+ Freedom Zone. Already now memories are awakened of the time when it became known that Poland at that time (and not so long ago) established the so-called "LGBT-free zones". Hanover thus already acts as an extremely positive counter-example for many. Among other things, it was announced that the LGBTQI+ flag will hang not only during the CSD, but during the entire Pride month. A freedom space in the Freedom Zone?! The connection between freedom and LGBTQI+ community is not new. Already in spring 2021, the EU Parliament decided to stand up more for the rights of queers and to support them even more in the future. In this context, the term of the so-called "LGBTQI+ Freedom Zone" already came up. The city of Hanover is now going one step further and recently declared itself a freedom zone. The responsible persons are concerned under an...

Will Germany actually become more queer-friendly after the election? At least everyone who is even a little bit interested in politics might have wondered right after the election (or maybe even earlier) what will change in the country now. Especially the queer community, which has been fighting for more equality for decades, but has also had to put up with one or two setbacks, will be curious to see what the traffic light coalition plans to do about LGBTQI+ issues. Now that the coalition agreement is virtually ready to print, many questions about it can be answered. It has already been positively noted that the topic of "queerness" seems to play an important role. Nevertheless, many members are of the opinion that there is still "room for improvement" in some areas. The following sections provide a brief overview of the bright spots and possible "construction sites" in the new coalition agreement.

Stephen Sondheim is dead. The queer lyricist and composer, who penned "Westside Story" among others, died in Connecticut at the age of 91. According to media reports, he had celebrated with some friends and girlfriends just a day before. His name is one of the most famous in the musical scene. In addition to the aforementioned "Westside Story," he also wrote for "Sweeney Todd," among others. Who was Stephen Sondheim? In the course of his life Stephen Sondheim collected many awards. He won Grammys, Tonys and the Oscar, among others. But who was Stephen Sondheim actually? The composer and lyricist spent his childhood and youth in different places. His relationship with his parents was not the best. Among other things, due to many contacts with other artists, especially musicians and composers, he decided at some point to try his luck here himself. Only comparatively late, with 40...

Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz had a quickie on the toilet Sometimes it's the "dirty secrets" from the world of the rich and beautiful that show that the stars are "people like you and me" after all. Bill Kaulitz recently provided wonderful proof of this. He spoke in a podcast with his brother Bill about the fact that he once had sex on the toilet at a party. The whole thing took place in Los Angeles and probably did not take place without the influence of alcohol. Bill had drunk liquor and left with another guest in the direction of the toilet. The result: a classic quickie. Gay sex, or not? This is a question that will most likely remain unanswered in the future. Because: Freely according to the motto "A gentleman enjoys and keeps silent!" Bill did not reveal whether he had fun with a guy or with a woman. Especially piquant: Bill's sex partner or sex p...

It's that time of year again: Christmas is just around the corner and your partner or crush should receive a gift this year that ideally they won't forget. However, the choice of the right gift is often not so easy. Especially when a couple has not been together for too long, the question quickly arises: "Suitable or too much? With the following five tips, it may be even a little easier to dare to think outside the box and give useful AND sometimes sexy gifts at the same time. Gift idea No. 1: Gift baskets "times differently" (also for affairs suitably) A gift basket is incredibly old-fashioned? Oh no! With a little imagination, the principle of the gift basket can be quickly modernized and "eroticized". For example, the gift baskets in the classic and somewhat "braver" version can consist of grooming products for men. Many guys have discovered the beard as a fashion accessory for themselves. A ge...
