UK makes important statement by taking in nearly 30 queer Afghans The lives of queers in Afghanistan have become even more dangerous since the Taliban took power in the country. Now Great Britain, among others, has reacted - and in a special way. The country has decided to take in 29 people who would otherwise have been persecuted in their own country because of their sexual orientation. However, it is not to remain "only" with the 29 people. It has already been declared that even more Afghans will be given the opportunity to lead a self-determined life. Who was admitted? The first people admitted by the British government are mainly young male and female students and people who have been actively campaigning for queer rights in their country so far. Since the activists are likely to be known to the Taliban, among others, they would be presum...

In the USA, the first ID card with an "X" by "gender" has now been issued For many queers in the USA, this should be a reason to celebrate. Because: the first ID card with an "X" in the gender information recently went across the table here. In many countries around the world, queers are fighting to make this option possible. After all, quite a few people find it difficult to be classified as "female" or "male". Accordingly, the "X" indication is a long-desired alternative that will certainly be used in the future. An official statement from the American State Department There should be no doubt that the U.S. State Department is fully behind the innovations. In the meantime, the spokesman for the ministry, Ned Price, has spoken out. Even though the first passport with the "X" has now already been issued, it will still take a little time before others in the gen...

Who thinks of condoms, often thinks of exuberant gay cruising adventures, but sometimes forgets that it can also be the "normal everyday situations" in which it is important to be able to rely on the practical "Verhutzlis". Unfortunately, there are still men who want to persuade others to have rubberless sex. Sometimes with disastrous consequences. And let's be honest: modern condoms should have managed once and for all to say goodbye to their "pleasure killer" image. The following reasons show why no one should compromise with regard to wearing condoms. Reason No. 1: Protection against diseases Admittedly: This reason is certainly not innovative. When you think of condoms, you think of the fact that with their help sexually transmitted diseases can usually (and when used correctly!) be prevented. But even if most people know exactly that (and perhaps also partly can no longer hear...

Vladimir Putin is once again making anti-queer headlines. According to a report in the Washington Post, he spoke of Western decadence and railed against transgender people, among other things. This is not the first time that the Russian president has taken such a clear stance. In the past, there were also situations when he left no doubt about what he thinks of transsexual people. According to the report, the statement was made at the Valdai Debate Club in Sochi. What exactly is Vladimir Putin bothered about? The report says that Putin is bothered by the fact that children are taught that it is possible to become a boy as a girl and a girl as a boy. It is almost a crime against humanity to allow such teachings. Furthermore, he directly opposed activists who support transsexual people. It is their z...

Bretman Rock - First gay man makes it to Playboy cover This is an important statement for the LGBTQI+ community: the October issue of Playboy features a gay man. His name: Bretman Rock. He is 23 years old and beauty influencer. The very fact that a man is allowed to hold this position at all is special. Until now, only a few have been granted the privilege of gracing the cover of one of the most famous magazines ever. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner was one of the lucky ones. Bretman Rock - who are you? Bretman Rock is certainly one of those people who will have many people thinking "Where do I know this face from?". Especially fans of YouTube and Instagram he should be a more precise term. He was born in the Philippines and in recent years has chosen a career as a beauty influencer. As it turned out: rightly so. The 23-year-old has a great g...

For some time now, the so-called Intersex Awareness Day has been celebrated at the end of October, on 26.10. to be precise. The "I" can now also be found in the abbreviation "LGBTQI+" and plays an increasingly important role in the life of the community. Studies show that language is a wonderful way to observe how attitudes toward life and life in general change over time. The fact that the "I" has accordingly made it into the scene abbreviation shows how many people now identify with it and that intersexuality has been given a place within the community. According to current statistics, scientists assume that about two percent of the world's population are intersexual. Converted, this is more than 150 million. In most cases the affected persons do not notice their intersexuality for a long time. Only in the time of puberty they often notice that intersex...

For many, the question arises after just a few weeks, for others only after a few years, "When are we actually moving in together?" But regardless of whether it's early or late, there are a few points that can help make the situation as stress-free as possible. The following details show that actually no one has to be afraid of the eventual moving in together. If you follow a plan here, you can prevent trouble and - by the way - often keep love fresh as well. Tip No. 1: Compromise? Always gladly, but please not with the housing search! This is one of the most important rules of all: before signing the lease, both should agree that it is the right decision. If one of them does not like the apartment, it is important to listen to this kind of alarm bells. Sooner or later, otherwise, exactly this kind of compromise could degenerate into a dispute, which could end with the wo...

The following points show how it is possible to benefit from sleeping naked. At the same time, of course, it should always be kept in mind that every person is different. Those who are absolutely unable to make friends with textile-free relaxation should of course not force themselves to do so. Point No. 1: Many naked sleepers sleep more peacefully ... especially if the pajamas that are otherwise worn are too tight. A constant pinching and scratching can even make you wake up at night....
