Transgender Day of Remembrance: We will not forget!
Today is the 11th annual Transgender Day of Remembrance, and as this video shows, there is an appalling number of transgendered individuals that have been killed in hate crimes around the world just for being who they are. We don’t have the figures to back this up, but while we were working on our IDAHO [...]

The president of the United Nations General Assembly, Ali Treki doesn’t like gay people
Listen up, people: Homosexuality is “not acceptable” to Ali Abdussalam Treki, of Libya, the new president of the 64th session of the United Nations General Assembly. And guess what, since most of the mainstream media are too preoccupied with other issues to tell you exactly what this guy said, we’ve decided to take it upon [...]

Lizzy the Lezzy gets laid!
Here’s a quick shoutout for our friend, the inimitable Ruth Selwyn, who has just released a new book on her  character Lizzy the Lezzy, an animated lesbian standup comedy character with a cult following on Youtube. Since we got to know her through our video project for the International Day Against Homophobia, Ruth has become [...]

The Great French Kiss-in
Inspired in part by the Great Nationwide Kiss-in that took place in the US earlier this year, activists in Paris have put together this kiss-in in an underground shopping mall. Yes, ALL of us should be able to kiss who we want, when we want — without getting bashed, or thrown out of property or [...]

Madonna booed in Romania for supporting gypsies and gays
I think I just found a good reason to forgive Madonna for cancelling her Drowned World Tour concerts in Cologne in 2001 after we queued up overnight and braved a stampede for her tickets. In her latest concert in Bucharest, Romania, Madonna was booed by the crowd for daring to tell them:
“I’ve never been to [...]

Senator Tom Duane is our new hero
This 22 minute long late night speech by Tom Duane, the New York State Senate’s first openly-gay and first openly HIV-positive member, gave us the goosebumps and he totally deserved the standing ovation that he received at the end of his speech (apparently though, only the Democrats stood up and the Republicans did not). Senator [...]

Gay couples swarm LDS temple in Salt Lake City for a kiss-in
We love this. A few days ago, a gay couple was detained by security guards working for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon church) after an otherwise innocent kiss on the cheek, and then charged for trespassing (!!!). The result? Gay and lesbian couples in Utah decided [...]

Gay pride with Chinese characteristics
Finally out: This video from the wonderful guys from Shanghai Pride contains some really nice, colourful footage. The first gay pride season ever to be hosted in mainland China was a huge success despite the clampdown by local authorities halfway through the week and the cancellations of several events.

Landmark ruling decriminalising homosexuality in India now challenged
Just one week after India’s much celebrated ruling decriminalising homosexuality in the capital New Delhi, the religious homophobes have begun to organise themselves. An astrologer has gone up to the nation’s Supreme Court and filed a petition asking for the 148-year-old Section 377 which governs “carnal intercourse against the order of nature” to be reinstated.

Martina Navratilova on coming out
At the Beijing Olympics last year, there were only 10 athletes (nine female and one male) that were out to the media about their sexuality. We need more athletes with the balls of Martina Navratilova to shatter those closet doors of the sports world.

Just who is ‘Bruno’ mocking, the homos or the homophobes?
We’re pretty excited about watching Bruno, the new movie by Sacha Baron Cohen of Borat fame, but some of our friends have mixed feelings about the show. In this video, gay celebrities Jack Plotnick, Peter Paige (Queer As Folk), fashion designer Nick Verreos, comedian Jennifer Elise Cox, and LOGO founder Brian Graden express their concern [...]

GLAAD: Perez Hilton should apologize to Will.i.am for calling him “faggot”
So, as you may have heard, last night in Toronto, gossip queen Perez Hilton called Will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas a “faggot” and ended up getting a black eye himself (see raw footage above). Now when you’re a celebrity like Perez is and you need to file a police report, what do you do? You [...]
