Marriage for all remains banned in Thailand Thailand is actually considered neither particularly homophobic nor extremely queer-friendly. It is therefore all the more shocking and sobering that the country has now decided to maintain the ban on marriage for all. Accordingly, lesbians and gays are still not allowed to marry here. The corresponding decision was made by the Thai Constitutional Court. The reason given was that the decision not to allow homosexual couples to marry did not stand in the way of equal treatment. Marriage must take place between a man and a woman. What is the situation like for queers in Thailand? As mentioned above, Thai law defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman - and thus excludes homosexual couples. In turn, the country is one of the countries where it is, however, perfectly legal to be gay or lesbian. Since the mid-1950s, queers have thus had to...

Queer Twilight star Kristen Stewart plans to produce a reality show about paranormal phenomena It was recently announced that Twilight star Kristen Stewart has gotten engaged. But even after the change in her relationship status, things are unlikely to get boring around the actress. On the contrary! In an interview given to "The New Yorker", she revealed that she is currently planning to produce a new show. It will focus on paranormal events and a connection to the queer community. The level should be high not only because of the actress' high standards for herself. The topic of the supernatural holds a lot of potential and could become the next rung on Stewart's ladder of success. More exact details not yet known As curious as the plans surrounding Kristen Stewart may make you, unfortunately no further details about the format have been announced yet. Accordingly, the...

Now it is official: Although new IOC rules were created in connection with trans athletes, the rules of the world athletics federation will not be changed. Nevertheless, it was emphasized that it is also important for the world federation to act in conformity with human rights. Nevertheless, everything would remain the same. How have the IOC rules changed? According to IOC regulations, there are no longer any universally valid guidelines. This means that each world federation is entitled to determine for itself the conditions to be observed in the course of participation, naturally within a fair framework. Accordingly, the requirement that a specified (and thus standardized) testosterone level must be ensured for participation in the competitions is no longer applicable, for example to prevent unfair basic conditions. The responsibility for what is allowed and what is not is thus in the hands of the responsible world federations. What consequences h...

UEFA with VERY mild verdict If you think back to the European Championship, you will not only think of the various games and rainbow armbands, but also of numerous discussions around the topic of homophobia. UEFA is now making headlines with a comparatively mild ruling. It decided to impose a ghost match on the Hungarian national team due to the behavior of its fans. The possibilities that would have existed in this context to make an example would have been far more versatile. But it now appears that only one game will be played in front of an empty crowd. Whether the fans who drew attention to themselves with homophobic slogans and the like will learn from this is questionable. The UEFA decision in detail It is particularly sobering that the original decision (actually two games should be played without spectators) was even softened. In addition, in connection with another match, a b...

Gay judge to work in India's top court This is a small break that could have a big impact. Saurabh Kirpal, who has long come out as gay, has now been proposed as a judge by the Supreme Court in India. If everything goes smoothly, he could work at the supreme court in the future. The documents are already with the responsible Ministry of Justice. Whether Kirpal will actually get the job, however, remains to be seen. But the very fact that he has been appointed (repeatedly, by the way) is something special. So far, no member of the queer community has been granted this honor. An important statement - also in international terms. And the chances seem to be particularly good this time. Who is Saurabh Kirpal? Saurabh Kirpal decided to start a career as a lawyer at a comparatively early age. Among other things, he worked as a junior lawyer, became ...

Transgender Day 23rd is also about remembering victims of transphobia In 2021, Transgender Day will be celebrated for the 23rd time. This is an international day to remember the people who have been victims of transphobia in the past. The problem is still widespread in our modern times. Therefore, it is not "only" about looking back, but also into the here and now. Looking at the status quo, it is noticeable that the road to the goal of equality is still long. Why was Transgender Day created? Transgender Day has been celebrated since the late 1990s. The fact that it was created was due to a sad occasion. At that time Rita Hester, a person of color and transsexual was murdered. At the time, the media reported rather casually - especially in comparison to other murders - and quickly went back to "normal daily business." It had...
