Openly homosexual Catholic priest back in office The uproar surrounding the former Benedictine monk Anselm Bilgri was great. After all, he openly outed himself as homosexual and then also married a man. For the Catholic Church, this was reason enough to remove the priest from his office. But now Bilgri is allowed to work again in the church and in his old position. But how is that actually possible? After all, the Vatican is actually far from tolerating - let alone accepting - homosexual men in the priesthood. The fact that Bilgri can now work as a priest again is due to a conversion to the Old Catholic faith. He is celebrated for this by many members of the community and the church. What is behind the Old Catholic faith? As early as the end of the 19th century, the Old Catholic Church separated from the Roman Catholic Church. The reason for this was the ...

Non-binary person becomes victim of violence in Berlin Berlin has seen another case of homophobia. This time an assault occurred in the district of Spandau. The victim was a 22-year-old person. The perpetrator is (so far?) unknown. He insulted, kicked and pushed. What had happened? At the time of the crime on Monday evening, the later victim was on the move in Spandau (Falkenhagener Feld). Here the person was attacked by a still unknown man and verbally attacked. It seems to have come directly to the announcement, because: Already on Tuesday the police in Berlin published a corresponding message. According to this, the later victim took the bus line M37 in the direction of Waldkrankenhaus. At the stop "Am Kiesteich" got off the 22-year-old and the alleged offender. The latter followed her and insulted her again and again. The verbal assault was followed by action. The attacker pushed his victim, kicked her in the back and threw things at her - the m...

Incitement trial against Polish priest dropped The Polish priest Dariusz Oko has called queers "parasites" among other things in a magazine. Therefore he was charged with sedition. A fact that should now cause much disappointment - especially within the community: The trial has now been discontinued in exchange for the payment of a 3,000 euro fine. What had happened? Dariusz Oko had called gay people "parasites" and "cancer metastases". As a result, he was denounced by another priest, Wolfgang Rothe. The penalty order at the time amounted to a sum of 4,800 euros. Oko decided to appeal and so it was clear: there had to be a trial. The accusations with which the Polish priest was confronted were far-reaching. Among other things, it was stated that he had "incited people to hatred" and insulted others. Again and again Oko tried to row back. A...

At the center are queer-hostile statements of the AfD. This time it hits the Queerbeauftragter Sven Lehmann. In a post on Facebook, the deputy Christina Baum has no good word for him.

US congressman wants to blame rampage on queer community Transphobia - unfortunately - also plays a role in the USA. A current example shows that there are apparently hardly any limits when it comes to bringing the queer community into disrepute. Recently trans-hostile laws were passed and now the scene has to deal with bad accusations again. US Congressman Paul Gosar claims that the Texas school massacre was perpetrated by a transgender woman. The 63-year-old Republican tweeted this wild hypothesis on social media. Heated discussions quickly ensued on the Internet. What happened in Texas? In the small Texas town of Uvalde, a gruesome act has occurred. In an elementary school, a former student, who was now 18 years old, had shot a total of 19 elementary school children and two teachers. The perpetrator had used the murder weapons on the basis of the American law...

Sven Lehmann comments on monkeypox and a risk of stigmatization While the world is still struggling with the Corona virus, the next virus has already made it into the media. There are more and more reports in the news about the so-called monkeypox. Among other things, there is always talk in this context that mainly gay or bisexual men are affected. Health Minister Lauterbach has also spoken out in this regard. And also at Sven Lehmann the reporting does not pass without trace. He recently emphasized that anyone could be affected by monkeypox... Not just gay men. "The virus knows no sexual orientation." Currently, monkeypox is known to spread through close skin contact and droplet infection. Accordingly, anyone who regularly has close contact with many people is at risk - or so it seems. This includes, of course, men...

Jake Daniels comes out as gay and Jochen Klopp is thrilled by his courage Outings in soccer are still something special, even in this day and age. For far too many people, "being gay" and "sports" (especially soccer) just don't go together. However, it can be extremely liberating to admit to yourself and your sexual orientation, as player Jake Daniels recently experienced. He came out as gay. There was praise for it from different sides. Among others, also from Jochen Klopp. Klopp hopes that more people will be able to come out of the closet It didn't take long for German coach Jochen Klopp to speak out regarding Jake Daniels' courageous outing. He stressed in a post-match interview that he hoped more professional players would dare to come out in the future. It was simply "crazy" that "such a big thing" was still being made of it. At the same time, he looks je...

In Austria, gays can now donate blood more easily With regard to blood donations by homosexuals in Austria, there will soon be a relief. This is because the same requirements will soon apply to gays as to everyone else. The keyword: the so-called "three times three" rule. This means that anyone who has had sex with more than three different partners in the last three months is not allowed to donate blood for three months. It is completely irrelevant whether the person in question is straight, gay or trans. This is intended to ensure more equality in everyday life. In the meantime, many politicians have spoken positively about the far-reaching changes. After all, this means that in the future it will be the lifestyle or sex life of the person in question that counts, not their sexual orientation. What regulations were in effect until now? The regulations that affected numerous homosexual men in Austria still exist in many countries....
