Sesame Street launches with its first gay couple. While efforts are currently being made in Hungary to ban queer content from the media, the USA is currently taking a different approach. An episode has now been published on YouTube in which everything revolves around a gay couple. Fittingly, this is part of the content of Family Day. Among other things, it is intended to show what everyday life is like in a rainbow family. Frank and Dave, the two main characters, are the dads of a daughter (Mia). They are all introduced to the other residents of Sesame Street - and thus also to the audience. Many queers are enthusiastic about the gay couple on Sesame Street - but there are also dissenting voices Already (as of June 21, 2021), the video with the rainbow family has been clicked on far more than 100,000 times. The comment function is deactivated. Viewers only have the option of giving thumbs up or thumbs down. D...

"Fag bandage" - AfDler with absolute no go The German national team has made a very good figure in the game against Portugal and that too with the "fag bandage". Actually, everything could be beautiful. Actually. AfD politician Uwe Junge seems to feel disturbed by one detail here. We're not talking about the team's playing tactics, but about the captain's armband on Neuer's upper arm, which this year features a rainbow design. A gesture of solidarity with the LGBTQ community. The AfD politician in question, however, called it a "faggot armband" - and thus turned many on the net against him. Boy has deleted his tweet again - but: the network does not forget AfD politician Uwe Junge seems to have been affected by the headwind and the media response, because the post in which he called Manuel Neuer's captain's armband a "fag bandage" is now history. Literally it said: "Mün...

The rules around blood donation in the UK have been relaxed Discussions around making it harder for gay men to donate blood in many countries are ongoing. Now - once again - something seems to be happening. In the UK, the rules have been relaxed a little in this regard. Even though it is certainly not yet possible to speak of complete equality here, the action shows that the efforts of the last few months have been worthwhile. But what does this actually mean exactly? Is every gay man in Great Britain really allowed to donate blood? No. And yet many members of the community speak of progress. Gay men in the UK are allowed to donate blood, but.... In this context, some restrictions must be observed. In plain language, this means that gay or bisexual men who have only had sex with a single partner in the last three months, for example because they have...

Hungary once again underlines its LGBTQ hostility Queers in Hungary still don't have it easy. Now the situation for them could get worse once again. Currently, there is talk of a new law that will "protect" minors in particular from LGBTQ content. The goal here is not to spread the opinion that same-sex love is "normal". The plan to intervene refers - more precisely - to media in the field of education. The plan here is to condemn homosexual content from sex education books, for example. The relationship between men and women is to be brought further into focus. This is a bitter setback for the community, which is fighting for more rights and more tolerance every day in Hungary, among other places. If it is up to head of government Viktor Orbán, however, there are plans to intervene even further. Companies, too, will no longer be allowed, for example, to...

However, it is the small rays of hope in the form of events that give hope that soon a little more normality should prevail again.

In addition, those responsible are also working on the planning for the Marche des Fiertés in Geneva. It has been dated for September 11. A short overview of important dates for the Pride in Geneva (Geneva Pride) A big parade in - more or less - narrow streets? This is (in times of the pandemic) not yet to be thought of.
