How many same-sex marriages actually get divorced? Divorces Around the discussion about whether same-sex marriages should be allowed or not, one particular number is often forgotten: the number of gay marriages that are divorced again over time. Now, a statistic has been published that addresses this issue. One question that played a particularly important role in this context was: how have the numerous same-sex marriages affected the divorce rate? After all, more marriages also mean more separations at the same time, don't they? (By way of explanation: the figures given here are taken from the report of the Federal Statistical Office). A look at the statistics: how stable are same-sex marriages? First of all: of course, same-sex marriages are not immune to divorce. Divorces occur - literally - in the best ...

The Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation prohibits gendering in relation to certain target groups Hardly any other topic is currently as hotly debated as this one: should gender be used or not? Now the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation has decided to put its foot down, at least in its own area. Because: gender asterisks are to be forbidden there. In this context, the TAZ reported on an internal mail that prohibits employees from using the famous asterisks - both when writing and speaking. Nevertheless, there is one exception: if the offers refer to a target group that welcomes gendering, it is still allowed to work with "*innen". Otherwise not. But can target groups always be defined so precisely? And how sensible is it to apply double standards here? A look at current developments shows that it could still be a very long time before a compromise solution can possibly be found with which...

Anti LGBTQ law in Hungary gets worse and worse Hungary is taking the next step in its fight against the LGBTQ community. Because: in the near future, media that deal with queer content will no longer be allowed to be sold near churches and schools. The likelihood that some retailers will switch to operating a kind of "black market" is quite real. After all, just because the sale of media is banned does not mean that there is not a fundamental interest in education within society. What is certain, however, is that from now on it will no longer be so easy to buy books and the like on the subject in Hungary. The list of banned content is long. This is because all media that even remotely deal with same-sex love or LGBTQ in general are affected. What is the intention behind the law? Probably it is also the media attention ...

Papis Loveday gives a glimpse into queer life on Promi Big Broter Model Papis Loveday might be known especially to many "Germany's Next Topmodel" fans. Now he got very emotional in front of the Promi Big Brother cameras when he talked about being gay and his experiences with racism. Among other things, he explained that coming out would have meant the end of his career, especially in the 1980s. He worried that he now had the impression that these problems regarding homophobia were currently being repeated. And that's what scares him. Of particular interest: Papis had never officially said he was gay. However, most people might have had an assumption in that direction. However, he has never talked about his sexual orientation as openly as he did on PBB. It was virtually an outing in prime time. Papis' experience with homophobia Once started, Papis talked openly about the fact that in his home country in ...

The LGBTQ community continues to grow in Bucharest. Meanwhile, CSDs are also celebrated here. At this year's event, however, more people came than were actually allowed (due to the applicable Corona requirements). The consequence: the responsible persons are now charged with a fine. This amounts to a little more than 1,400 euros. The CSD 2021 and its counter protests As part of the CSD 2021 in Bucharest, many people came out onto the streets of the city. However, not all of them were about speaking out for more tolerance and for queer rights. Among other things, there were also counter-demonstrations that promoted "more normality". Among others, according to the news portal g4media.ro, the supporters of a national, radical right-wing party were behind these. The extent to which they were bothered by the community was evident from many signs and statements. It became much more colorful a few hours later, when the actual Pride s...

How can it be possible to declare war on these "signs of aging"? The following tricks are at least worth a try.

Now it's official, because the fight for victory in the Promi Big Brother house is over for Rafi Rachek. Whether he was able to collect sympathy points during his stay is questionable. Likewise, it remains to be seen how he will react when he - with a little distance - looks at the scenes of the past days. What is certain, however, is that the ex-"Bachelorette" and "Bachelor in Paradise" contestant did not manage to collect enough viewer votes for himself. Rafi's exit is therefore now "Exit No. 4". Previously, Daniel (voluntarily due to health problems, Heike and Mimi (the latter also voluntarily) left. The first nomination 2021 On Saturday evening it became serious. Because: the first nomination of the residents of the PBB container or the "space station" was pending. The viewer was thus taken part of the decision.
