In the age of social media and the like, Instagram in particular is often used to openly admit to oneself. Among other things, many artists also decide to come out in this way and get in touch with their fans. It almost seems as if a true "outing wave" has been rolling since 2020 at the latest. More and more celebrities dare to be open about themselves and are often celebrated for this in the comment columns. But which transgender outings or which artists in general are actually particularly stuck in people's minds? Even though every outing is individual, the following stars have left their mark on the scene. Outing No. 1: Elliot Page

Elliot Page may be known to many through the movie "Juno". The star decided to come out as transgender some time ago and now calls himself "E...

That it would not remain as harmonious on Promi Big Brother as it was on the day of the move-in was actually clear, as was Rafi. That the situation would escalate so quickly, however, could perhaps not really be foreseen. One thing is certain: The first tangible dispute has gone over the (TV) stage. In the middle of it all: Rafi Rachek, who has been dividing the viewer community ever since. His behavior is somewhat reminiscent of when he jumped into the boxing ring of the "Promiboxen" event a few weeks ago to stand by his Sam. In the current situation in the space capsule of the reality TV format, he also feels 100 percent in the right. Emotions are boiling over. On the social networks, however, there is already talk that he may have catapulted himself into oblivion with his action. But what actually happened? Rafi's conspiracy theory The stumbling block is quickly explained: For a few days now, Rafi has not tired of emphasizing that he knows that ...

In a few weeks, the time will finally come: in Switzerland, the vote on marriage for all is coming up. One aspect that could possibly play an important role in this context is that various musicians have now joined forces to write a song on the subject. Their goal: they want to achieve that as many people as possible vote "yes" so that queer couples are allowed to marry in Switzerland. "Just" one of many actions? Maybe. Nevertheless, the possible consequences of the action should not be underestimated. Because: the song relies not only on prominent participation, but also on a somewhat unconventional approach. However, it could reach the (still) undecided more than, for example, flyers. Who is behind "Yes, I do"? "Ja, ich will" is the product of several Swiss artists who have made it their goal to promote the queer community in ...

CSD to be responsible - according to right-wing party in Israel - for rising corona numbers in the country A look at the statistics shows: Corona cases are unfortunately on the rise again in Israel as well. The chairman of the Religious Zionist Party Bezalel Smotrich has an explanation for this, which meets with criticism from many people. He blames the CSD, which took place in Tel Aviv a few weeks ago, for the current developments. This is not the first time that the politician has attracted attention with such statements. Literally, he speaks of "improper behavior" in connection with Christopher Street Day. Discussions around Prides at Corona times - not only an issue in Israel In Germany, too, shortly after Pride in Berlin, there were heated discussions about which occasions it is allowed to demonstrate and which it is not. According to reports, even in the German capital, distance rules and the like were often not observed. Exactly that then called...

Lewis Hamilton supports Sebastian Vettel because of his support for the LGBTQ community: "Love always wins! The whole thing is somewhat reminiscent of the European Football Championship, during which topics such as LGBTQ, rainbow bandages, etc. were also discussed at length. And perhaps Sebastian Vettel would not have thought that his rainbow sneakers would make such big waves. A look at current developments shows that the topic is far from over. Because: before the race for the Hungarian Grand Prix, Vettel went one step further and decided to wear a shirt in rainbow design. This featured the words "Same Love". Another sign of versatility and equality. Hamilton is enthusiastic about the action The statement was well received not only by the LGBTQ community, but also by Vettel's top competitor Hamilton. However, not everyone is of the opinion that a s...

In Mainz, a memorial plaque for LGBTQs was damaged Just a few days ago, a memorial plaque dedicated to people who were persecuted because of their sexual orientation was inaugurated in Mainz. Now a homophobic act shows once again that it could still be a very long way to more tolerance and togetherness. Because: said stele was smeared with red paint. Who is behind the act is currently still unclear. People from politics speak out Many people, including politicians, were shocked by the act. It is an attack on LGBTQ people and their rights. A general look at the reactions shows that this kind of vandalism is definitely not classified as "petty". On the contrary! In connection with the destruction of the stele, charges are to be filed with the police in Mainz. The reactions in the social networks were also partly very emotional. Damage to the stele...

After Neuer and Co.: LBGTQ is also supported in Formula 1. It is not only within the soccer scene that the fight for the LGBTQ community and their rights is making waves. Now Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton have also come out in favor of more equal rights. The bone of contention was once again the anti-LGBTQ law that is supposed to prohibit, for example, the depiction of queer content in advertising and school textbooks in Hungary. This is mainly justified with the protection of the "classical family" consisting of "father, mother, child". Since the contents of the law were announced, Hungary has had to deal with a lot of criticism. Not only the politicians of the EU, but also many soccer fans showed their lack of understanding for the regulation in various ways. Now two of the best-known faces of Formula 1 have also spoken out. Hamilton and Vettel set an example The Grand Prix in Hungary is now being used by Vettel and Hamilton to...
