Homosexual persecution: Austrian justice minister apologizes "Apology" is still a word that does not easily cross the lips of many people. Now, Austrian Justice Minister Alma Zadić took an important step. She apologized for the fact that until about 20 years ago gays were persecuted in the country. Many people were very touched by the gesture and emphasized its special significance. Alma Zadić's apology - what exactly was it about? In Austria, too, there were anti-LGBTQ tendencies - especially in the post-war period. For example, until the early 1970s, it was forbidden to live out your love as a man for men. At that time, thousands of people were convicted. The corresponding criminal offense at the time was called "same-sex fornication." Until the start of the 2000s, being gay was still considered illegal in many areas. It wasn't until 2002 that the increased age of consent was enforc...

Dancing Queens: a woman as a drag queen?!

With her, she shared a very ...

The colorful queer world of series stars In series, viewers often encounter worlds they can completely empathize with. They root for their favorite characters and mourn when they leave. The actors often have little in common with their roles. For example, a schizophrenic serial killer may be a loving family man in real life, or a true gentleman and womanizer may be gay in real life. There are some queer actors in the colorful world of series. In today's society, coming out doesn't have to mean the end of one's career, although many people are still afraid of this. Many actors openly admit their homosexuality and lead a carefree life. Because: they no longer have to hide. Some of them are more successful than ever and provide their fan base with couple pictures, updates and the like on social networks. National and international gay se...

3sat shows documentaries about queer life If you want to enjoy a little more "queer TV programming," you don't necessarily have to turn on Prince Charming. 3sat is also dedicating an evening to the topic.
