Pop icon Cher celebrates 75th birthday

Happy Birthday! On Cher's 75th birthday... Cher has become a real "gay icon". Many of her fans are active in the LGBTQ scene and have certainly celebrated the artist's birthday on May 20 - at least in their heads - a little bit. The pop icon's illustrious history began early in the mid-1960s. Since then, it is impossible to imagine the music scene without her. But it was not only with her music that she made headlines. Among other things, she was also repeatedly in the media because of her numerous plastic surgeries and the transsexuality of her daughter, who has identified as a man for several years. One thing is certain: Cher's life has been shaped by numerous influences. That she definitely does not belong to the "old iron" (and will never belong to this), she recently proved with her guest appearance in the latest Pink video. Who is Cher? - A look back at an exciting life Cher began her musical...

Germany's Next Topmodel Final

Transsexual candidate could become Germany's Next Topmodel 2021 At the beginning of the current Germany's Next Topmodel season, it was repeatedly emphasized how much value would be placed on diversity. On social networks, many wondered to what extent this plan could be put into practice. Now it turns out that a trans contestant might even win the show! Alex has managed to prevail against many competitors and to convince Heidi and the guest judges again and again. Although the show is now in its 16th season, it has - unlike many other formats - lost almost nothing of its fascination. Alex could become a role model for many young people ... and not because of her modeling skills, which are certainly also convincing. However, one aspect that always comes into focus with the trans candidate is the fact that she knows what she wants. She is self-confident and...

My boyfriend cruises without condom

Hello Dr. Randy, My partner cruises but does not use a condom! (Daniel, 29 years) I am really close to separation. I have known for a long time that my boyfriend cruises with passion. I am actually not jealous and quite capable of separating sex and love. We are also actually what you would call a "happy couple". Lately, however, I've been worrying more and more about the fact that I don't like the fact that he's "cruising the world" and then sleeping with me. After all, I don't know what diseases he brings home with him. We have been together for about four years and so far - thank God - nothing has happened. How long this will last, of course, I do not know. I have also already talked to him. He absolutely cannot understand my fears and calls me a philistine. If this goes on, I will separate - or do you think I have another ...

Demi Lovato is "non-binary"

Hollywood star Demi Lovato has come out as non-binary. Recently, another star has come out - not as gay, not as lesbian, but first and foremost as non-binary. That Demi Lovato fights for the rights of the LGBTQ community has long been known. Now the star posted a statement on his Twitter channel that caused quite a stir. Instead of "she" and "her" Lovato now wants to use "they" and "them". This is to express that there are people who do not want to be assigned to the male or female gender. It is a little difficult to translate the said "they" or "them" into German. Because: up to now there is no equivalent to this. Demi's tweet in detail Demi Lovato posts a lot on twitter anyway. Therefore, it almost seems as if this - quite important - message is a little lost in the mass of tweets. But only almost! The reactions to the statement did not take long...

Help Dr. Randy! My boyfriend cheated on me, what should I do? (Hans, 61 years) My boyfriend recently confessed to me that he cheated on me. Supposedly he was drunk and also has a hard time remembering everything. Allegedly. I am now torn. Actually, cheating has always been a no go for me. I have always said that if someone cheats on me, I will leave him immediately. But we've been together for three years and of course you wonder if you shouldn't forgive. After all, we've had a lot of happy times too. Can you give me some advice? Kind regards Hans Dear Hans, let's first talk about the actual situation: your boyfriend cheated on you, took heart (for sure) and confessed everything to you. I am sure that this was a step that was not easy for him. This aspect speaks for your relationship for the time being. Alternatively, he could have taken his misstep upon...

Love goes through... the nose?!

Why love really goes through the nose! Surely everyone has at least one man in his environment who just always smells "incredibly good". But what is the actual reason for this? What determines whether the smell of a person is perceived as pleasant? Or what possibilities are there to positively influence one's own body odor? It is certain that it can have an enormous influence on the first impression, if the smell of the counterpart pleases. The following tricks show that there is no need for "rocket science" behind a positive olfactory experience. With the right equipment, everyone can help out a little... And perhaps convince their own crush a little faster. Tip No. 1: a look at the detergent Washing powder and fabric softener are offered in many different variants nowadays. Here it is quite worthwhile to look a little more closely. Because: especially said fabric softeners are usually seh...

We would like to test out BDSM

Hello Dr. Randy, My partner and I would like to try out BDSM - but how? (Walter, 63 years) My boyfriend and I have been together for eight years now and would like to try something new. Since we both place a lot of value on fidelity, we don't want to attend cruising events or anything like that. Instead, we wondered if BDSM might be an option for us. We both have no experience here yet, but we are curious. In the meantime, we are considering how it would make the most sense to proceed. Yes, we know that such considerations sound unromantic. But we are both comparatively safety fanatics and would like to know what we are getting into. How should we go about it? LG, Walter Dear Walter, you seem to have relatively precise ideas about what you want to experience in bed. That's good. Many couples don't dare to talk to each other about the "most beautiful secondary matter in the world". So far, so good. Since the BDSM area is a...

How friendly is Rainbow Europe?

When you think of Europe, you often think of freedom and tolerance... But does this actually apply with regard to the rights of queer people? This is exactly the question that the Rainbow Europe report recently addressed. The result might surprise many people... Among other things also because Germany did not make it to the top places. One point that may have caused the relevant developments to be set back could be the pandemic. After all, this is not the first time that Corona has pointed out, like a kind of magnifying glass, problems that have "somehow always been there" but are now becoming even more tangible. A sobering conclusion for Rainbow Europe Rainbow Europe puts its finger in the wound and emphasizes, among other things, that Europe has obviously not managed to develop further in 2020 with regard to the rights of queers. With regard to the rights of the community, it shows that the northern...

The same sex marriage

We are allowed to get married! - But why actually? For many gays today it is almost taken for granted. And possibly in a few decades there will be far less thought about the fact that same-sex marriage was quite hard fought for "at some point". However, this makes it all the more exciting to look at the various caesuras on the road to "gay marriage." The following milestones show that many people have achieved a great deal here. Being gay in the Nazi era: when loving a man was punishable by law The Nazis made homosexuality a punishable offense. Many gay men were taken to concentration camps and killed or severely mistreated there. After World War II, comparatively little was said about homosexuals during the Nazi era. In the 1950s it was said that the prohibition of male homosexuality was compatible with the Basic Law. The 1980s as the first turning point...
