Karl Lauterbach's statement on monkeypox draws criticism Health Minister Karl Lauterbach recently described gay men as a risk group for monkeypox. Exactly that met recently with criticism. Among other things, the Aidshilfe has since spoken out. This showed up dissatisfied with the kind of communication, which was put to the day. And indeed: In parts this kind of communication reminds of the beginnings of the Aids crisis, in whose context also gays were mentioned again and again. However, it was not only the Aids Association that was outraged by the statement.

Numerous spectators in front of the screens The Eurovision Song Contest is known to be an international spectacle in which the musical acts of the various European nationalities compete. In the end, the spectators and the juries of the individual participants determine their favorite. This year, the ESC was held in Turin, because the winners of the previous year came from Italy. Now, after a few days have passed since the final, a look back is ventured. Because: The organizers have released an odds analysis, which provides revealing insights into the interest of the individual countries in the ESC. Among other things, this shows that more than 160 million people sat in front of their screens this year. So although a lot of people are apparently still interested in the music highlight, far fewer viewers tuned in this year than before, when the figure was well over 180 million.

The gay sauna "Paraíso" is said to have experienced an outbreak of monkeypox. The facility has now been closed for the time being as a precaution. In addition, there is a reference to the gay event "Darklands Festival" in Belgium. Because: The local authorities apparently see a connection between the outbreak of the disease and the event.

Now the organizers inform the visitors about the outbreak via their homepage and thus comply with the official order. So far ...

Survey shows many queers in the U.S. are desperate A survey recently published by the Trevor Project in the USA is frightening. Because: according to the results, many queer people in America are doing anything but well. Nearly half of those surveyed said they had thought about suicide in the past year. Approximately one in ten queer youth have done just that. The numbers are particularly high in relation to young people who feel they are non-binary. Here there are twice as many. Possibly also because education regarding non-binaryness has not yet progressed that far? Accordingly, many young people could still feel a little more lost. A frightening tendency If you take a little time to look at the relevant surveys on the subject, you quickly realize that the numbers of young people thinking about suicide have increased in the United States. Many vera...

BR Broadcasting Council still without queer representation Recently, during the 642nd meeting of the BR Broadcasting Council, a new chairman was elected. Godehard Ruppert now holds the position. However, not everyone is satisfied with the overall result. Among other reasons, because not all groups of people would be equally considered. Accordingly, much criticism of the election has already been voiced. For example, only one third of the members of the committee are women. Politician Susanne Kurz commented that she was "looking forward to working with the new male and female colleagues". However, it is a "drop of bitterness" that the proportion of women is still "stagnating" at one third. There is also no queer representation. This criticized among other things the lesbian and gay federation in Bavaria. Among other things, this is not understandable because about 10 percent of the population is queer. The LSVD executive committee criticizes the result The lesb...
