The State Security Service has taken up the investigation In the course of further investigations, it is now to be found out who damaged the three faces and smeared the memorial plaques. Particularly frightening: some people seem to be so bothered by the memorial plaque that they can't stand the fact that it is centrally located and accordingly present in the city.

Irina Schlauch, like Nicolas Puschmann, wants to find her great love on TV. Like its male counterpart, the new dating show is likely to appeal not only to the LGBTQ community.

Opinions are divided about Ms. Désirée Nick or "La Nick". On the one hand, she is celebrated for her sharp-tongued manner and her "I don't mince words" attitude; on the other hand, many find the Berliner shrill and annoying. Not infrequently, there is even talk of arrogance. Even though the trash TV icon appears at many relevant LGBTQ events, opinions differ even within the scene. But one thing is certain: Désirée Nick is an indispensable part of today's TV trash program. Her career began long before Promi Big Brother, Dschungelcamp and Co. Her curriculum vitae shows many interesting stations. Among other things, she was a ballet dancer and a Parisian revue girl. Today, she works primarily as a cabaret artist, author and actress. Her podcast "Lose Luder" recently made headlines when she compared honesty and bullying, or complained that both are the same these days.

Ross Antony makes fans laugh at song quiz with Vanessa Mai Ross Antony is currently present in a wide variety of formats. He is not only a regular member of the quiz squad on "Buchstaben Battles", but has also been under the mask of the lively flamingo on "The Masked Singer". If you take a look at his curriculum vitae, you might quickly think that no one can fool the singer, especially when it comes to music. After all, he showed how versatile and musically versatile he is in the pink costume in prime time on ProSieben. But: that doesn't always seem to be the case. His appearance on Vanessa Mai's talk show "On Mai Way" showed that there is still room for improvement. Ross has not lost any sympathy, however. On the contrary! Many followers found his failure particularly endearing - perhaps because they didn't expect it to be that way. Ross Antony as a guest on "On Mai Way" - what happened?...

Gay rapper Lil Nas X conquers the world charts When people think of rap, they often think of men who present themselves as straight, woman-loving machos. Lil Nas X is different. He has long made no secret of the fact that he is gay. Accordingly, not everyone is thrilled with his current chart success. Some anti-LGBTQ groups have repeatedly used the rapper's works in the past to blaspheme - on social networks, among other places. However, his latest postings on Twitter show that the rapper seems to care little about exactly that. His success proves him right - and he has also been able to significantly expand his fan base over the past few months (thanks in part to his extroverted manner). At the age of 20, he can already look back on considerable success. An end to the Lil Nas X boom is currently not in sight. Lil Nas X hopes that his haters are sad ... and at the same time celebrates himself a little. After all, he has...

There are also numerous gay athletes in the fitness world For some years now, an exciting phenomenon can be observed among gay athletes. More and more athletes from a wide variety of sports are deciding to admit their homosexuality and come out. What in many cases is taken for "granted" in other areas of life still seems to come with an extra dose of courage in the sports scene. After all, in the general opinion picture, male athletes are assigned many adjectives. "Gay" is rather less among them. Therefore, it is all the more important that well-known athletes, among others, give homosexuality in soccer and co. a face. But which outings have actually really shaken up the sports and media world? The following examples show that careers don't have to suffer "just" because a person has decided to stand by himself and his orientation. Example N...

Nicolas Puschmann slowly takes the role of favorite at "Let's Dance Nicolas Puschmann is the first man to dance with a man - at least in the German version of Let's Dance. After Kerstin Ott had fought for victory with a professional dancer, now the ex-Price Charming is trying his luck. Unlike Kerstin, who suffered from the pressure and challenge surrounding the dance competition in her season, however, Puschmann seems to love his performances. His latest coup? 30 points for the contemporary, which even moved many to tears. Well-deserved top score - Nicolas Puschmann gives his all Nicolas fits in wonderfully with the overall concept of the show. The rumors that his friend Lars was jealous of the professional dancer at his side seemed to bounce off the (now again) happy couple. In addition, it sometimes seems that Puschmann is not really aware of his own abilities. In the interview...

Homosexuality is not a "phenomenon" of modern times. Homosexuality has been lived out since ancient times (and probably even earlier). Therefore, same-sex love was also a topic in the Roman Empire. There were orgies and other revelries in the context of which it was perfectly "normal" to live out one's lust. Roman (and Greek) mythology alone is full of homosexual and heterosexual sex, affairs and - unfortunately - rape. According to some traditions, people were even more open-minded about homosexuality than they are today. Or, in other words, why shouldn't people be free to have sex, but their gods were? There are several stories about gods mingling with humans and sleeping with them. A look back: What did it mean to be gay in the Roman Empire? The Roman Empire found its origin with the founding of Rome in 753 BC. ...

Jürgen Domian was probably the best-known TV pastor in the 90s. Many people still know him today. He stands for empathy, listening and also for the one or other funny situation. The topics and people he is confronted with are previously unknown to the presenter, and yet he has an open ear for anyone who approaches him with their story. No editing, no acted scenes, just real life and its protagonists. Above all, the presenter's charming and non-judgmental manner often led to quirky stories that still have cult status today. As early as April, Jürgen Domian - who, by the way, is bisexual - is to advise his listeners and viewers again. A look back: what is actually behind Jürgen Domian's show? The youth show "Riff - der Wellenbrecher," which ran on the radio station WDR 1, became "Domian live. Initially, the concept consisted of reports and expert opinions. Only one...
