Olympics 2021 - these athletes are queer For a long period of time, male and female athletes were afraid that coming out could affect their careers. This year's Olympic Games, however, show that those affected are now much more self-confident in dealing with the issue. Many athletes who will be competing in 2021 are open about their queerness. The following list gives a small insight into the best-known LGBTQs in the Olympic sports scene. However, the overview is not exhaustive. According to a report in Outsports magazine, more than 150 queers are competing for medals this year. Which Olympians are queer? Queer male and female athletes can be found in numerous Olympic disciplines today. Whether in basketball, field hockey, soccer, track and field, equestrian or swimming, the list is long. The fact that coming out in sports can also be wonderfully linked to erfo...

Rafi and Sam - happily reunited?! Many trash TV fans follow the love story around Rafi and Sam, which was largely lived openly in social networks until their separation a few weeks ago. Thus, the two influencers took their fans to Dubai, went through the Christmas season together, talked about adoption plans, etc. . All the more it must have shocked many fans that Rafi and Sam recently separated. There was no real mud-slinging. Only on the question of who actually left whom, the two did not really seem to agree. Recent Instagram postings show, however, that the tide has obviously turned. Here Sam talks about saying "yes" to "every other minute" with his Rafi. Why have the waves smoothed out again? About the answer to this question can be speculated certainly only. One reason why it - according to rumors - again and again to Differen...

A look back: the introduction of the Civil Partnership Act 2001 In the summer of 2001, the time had come: the Civil Partnership Act came into force. What was celebrated by some as a form of recognition did not go far enough for others even then. Even today, it is clear that the law was important on the road to equality and should not be underestimated. Certainly, however, there would have been even more tolerant alternatives. Either way, the law is now two decades old. Reason enough to take a little trip down memory lane. A heated discussion in the 1990s Of course, the Civil Partnership Act was not introduced "all of a sudden", but was the product of long debates. While it was important to many people within the community to become at least "somehow" (to some extent) equal, others again set different priorities. They focused less on gay marriage, s...

Many people in the LGBTQ community are likely to find it a bitter setback: The candidate for the Bundestag, Tessa Ganserer, is referred to by her deadname on the ballot. The first name "Tessa" is merely in parentheses. She is the first openly transsexual member of the state parliament ever. The decision to list Ganserer's "old first name" first was made recently by the Bavarian state election committee. The decision was justified with the fact that it concerns with the procedure a kind compromise. After all, both names were listed. The fact that the whole thing is not possible in a less complicated way has to do with a law that Ganserer has been fighting against for some time. Tessa Ganserer expresses herself on Facebook - and speaks many from the heart "I am mocked, insulted and at times threatened. I have endured many humiliating moments, but I will not let them take away my human dignity," the politician recently declared i...

Yoncé Banks celebrates her win at Die Alm Yoncé Banks seems to have a knack for challenges. The drag queen has not only managed to win the show Queen of Drags in 2019, but also Die Alm. She has officially become the "Almkönigin" and can now look forward to more than 40,000 euros and a golden cowbell. "More than" in this case means exactly 40,500 euros. But why actually such a "crooked sum"? Anyone who has followed Die Alm knows that there were rule violations here and there (as is common in many reality TV shows). These were punished by repeatedly reducing the jackpot for the final. By way of comparison: if it hadn't been for these rule violations, Yoncé Banks would have received a round 50,000 euros for her victory. Either way, she was and is successful. And that's exactly what she celebrates on Instagram, among other places. What is Die Alm about? Die Alm is one of those reality TV shows that doesn't air regularly, but only spora...

On the way to a sexy beach body - why swimming is so healthy Admittedly, sometimes it's not easy to motivate yourself to do sports. The inner pig is stronger every now and then, and sometimes it's harder than expected to decide on a sport in the first place. Swimming is very high on the popularity scale for many. This is a healthy and effective sport that can incidentally create the foundation for a sexy six pack. Even those who would like to lose a few excess pounds can benefit from swimming in many ways. The regular movements can promote blood circulation to the skin, helping to create a fresher appearance. A great foundation for summer flirtations, isn't it? In case of doubt, however, it is important to consult your doctor briefly before embarking on a "hobby swimmer's career". After all, people who suffer from cardiac insufficiency, for example, must hi...

At a time when some artists and performers complain about not performing in the usual way and instead on corona terms, the CSD 2021 in Berlin is causing a bit of resentment in some parts of the population. The reason: some participants and participants stood without mask in the masses, celebrated and danced exuberantly. In the meantime, Federal Minister of Health Jens Spahn has also commented on this, according to the "Welt" newspaper, stating that such an approach "does not fit in with the current pandemic situation". He went on to explain that hygiene rules would apply to all people - regardless of the purpose for which they were meeting. The CSD 2021 in Berlin - what happened? No question: the CSDs that took place before the Corona Pandemic were colorful, exuberant and diverse. Also last weekend, many queers and visitors did not miss the opportunity to stand up for the rights of the community. According to official police figures, far more...

After outing: many fans celebrate Tommy Dorfman Anyone who knows the series "Dead Girls Don't Lie" also knows her: Tommy Dorfman. You? Yes, exactly! Because: the actress recently came out as a trans woman. Even a few days after this courageous step, she is celebrated for this in the social networks. Accordingly, Tommy should remain more present than ever in the media and among her fans, even now that the series is no longer produced. It almost seems as if a new chapter is being opened here. What is particularly interesting, however, is the attitude that Tommy himself has towards the subject. Tommy Dorfman in women's clothes? Nothing new... Tommy Dorfman is one of the stars who use Instagram in a comparatively active way to stay in touch with their fans. For some time now, Tommy has been showing himself almost exclusively in women's clothes. Explicitly addressed was the question of whether Tommy could possibly be a transwoman, but for her part n...

Some love them, others hate them - and yet just about EVERYONE has an opinion about them: shorts. What used to be considered a "no go" in the office is no longer a problem in many professions today. Nevertheless, it makes sense to follow a few "basic rules", especially when wearing shorts, in order to be on the safe side style-wise. The following sections will help! Tip No. 1: Elegant shorts Elegant shorts are distinguished by the characteristics that also play an important role in connection with classic suits. They look light, ideally even have a crease and fit a little tighter - but not too tight! - on. They can also be super combined with light summer shirts and are, among other things, also welcome in many offices. (But beware! Some companies do not accept even these stylish shorts in everyday business! Here it is best to inform yourself in advance). Tip no...
