Russia accuses the EU of "LGBTQ propaganda". It is no secret that the East and the West do not agree on how to deal with the LGBTQ community. The Russian foreign minister now goes one step further and accuses the Western countries of the EU of engaging in "aggressive LGBTQ propaganda". This is far from the first time that Lavrov has spoken negatively about the community. In the past, too, he repeatedly incited against queers. What does the current "reproach" text say? Lavrov has written an essay about how Western European countries deal with the issue of "same-sex love" or queerness. The lines have it all. Among other things, because it is not "only" about homosexuality, but also about the accusation of wanting to shape the world order with their own handling of the topic. Propaganda would be used as a tool for this. The essay can now even be read in German.

Every year in June, the LGBTQ community celebrates Pride Month. Even if it is clear to many that the special attitude to life of queers who stand up for themselves and the demand for more tolerance should be addressed in this context, there are still many questions associated with the term "Pride". Accordingly, anyone who feels like diving a little deeper into the subject should definitely read on. Even if every queer interprets his own personal Pride certainly also a bit individually, there are also numerous details that belong to the "standard" in relation to the Pride movement. Pride in detail - how can a "classic" be described? Strictly speaking, "Pride" is one of those words that actually cannot be given a classic synonym. This particular attitude towards life expresses that a queer person is self-confident and proud of himself and his sexual orientation....

Has Queen Latifah officially come out of the closet? There are stars who keep a very low profile when it comes to their sexual orientation. Queen Latifah is an artist who has rarely addressed topics such as love and partnership. Currently the rumor mill is bubbling. Because: in the context of an award ceremony, at which she was awarded for her life's work, she wished among other things "Happy Pride!". Out of solidarity or perhaps because she herself is or could be queer? That there is speculation whether Queen Latifah belongs to the community is not new. However, the two "magic words" currently give the whole thing a little more fodder. What happened? The events that led to the current speculations are quickly explained. A few days ago, Queen Latifah received the Lifetime Achievement Award. During the acceptance speech, which is traditionally held on such occasions, you could notice her emotions. She seemed extremely ...

Ricky Martin was more often the victim of homophobic reactions to his Instagram pictures Many queers know that life - among others in social networks - is not always as colorful as the rainbow. Negative reactions to a picture with two men kissing have (unfortunately) become almost "normal" for many. One person who is not at all comfortable with this idea is singer Ricky Martin. He, who struggled a lot with his coming out a few years ago and even deliberately made negative comments about gay men so as not to be "under suspicion" himself, is currently defending himself against homophobic haters on the Internet. Not without reason. After all, he too has already been the victim of cyber bullying after posting pictures of himself and his husband. Ricky Martin loses followers - because of couple pic It sounds unbelievable, but it actually seems to show how intolerant many people have become. Ric...

These Schlager stars are/were gay - how the Schlager world has changed Nowadays it is usually no problem to come out as a pop star. However, this was not always the case. Rex Gildo, for example, hid his love for the same sex. In the end, he took his own life - perhaps also due to external pressure. Since then, however, the world has changed. Especially in the pop business, there are now many stars who make no secret of their sexual orientation. Rex Gildo This was one of the most tragic stories of the hit business ever. Rex Gildo, who was the "perfect son-in-law" for many, took his own life. Again and again rumors made the rounds that he had had an affair with Christian Anders, among others. Whether his hidden homosexuality was ultimately the reason why he jumped out of the window, can ultimately only be speculated....

Do Pride and Disney go together? Oh yes! Disney+ will soon be focusing more on Pride content, among other things. A total of six episodes will focus on the challenges and problems of the Pride scene.

The European Championship 2020 - when the world deals with the topic of queerness. Even those who are otherwise rather less concerned with soccer and co. may have noticed that this European Championship will not only focus on sports, but among other things on another important topic: LGBTQ. For a long time, it was a "well-kept secret" that footballers - obviously - can be gay and perform well on the pitch. Many athletes shied away from coming out. They were afraid of being perceived as not masculine enough. However, the topic of queerness is already playing a particularly important role at the 2020 European Championships. It only takes a glance at the details to see that the rainbow is present in many areas. The match of the German team against Hungary as a prime example The match between Germany and Hungary made big waves even before kickoff. Among other things, this was due to the...

Warsaw Pride was celebrated extensively In times of Corona it still seems a bit strange when several people come together in one place like in Warsaw. Nevertheless, they do exist: the occasions that show how important it is to stand together, of course based on the respective current Corona rules, but as determined as ever. A particularly nice gesture: even the mayor of the city did not miss the opportunity to walk side by side with the LGBTQs and thus make a statement. In a time when Poland is criticized from different sides, among others also because of its "LGBTQ-free zones", this step is in many ways a small highlight. Pride in Warsaw - thousands of visitors join in the fun The response was huge! Within a short time, thousands of people gathered in the streets of Warsaw to celebrate their Pride. Especially many goosebumps moments were experienced among an...
