These LGBTQ Artists Are Pioneers In The Music Industry http://www.idolator.com/7682015/these-lgbtq-artists-are-pioneers-in-the-music-industry?view-all&chrome=1&Exc_D_LessThanPoint002_p1=1 Being the first person to do something can be liberating, but it can also be downright terrifying. Over the years, many musicians in the LGBTQ community have gathered the courage to stand up for who they are and what they believe in. They are pioneers in the industry for showing the world that even though they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, they are just as talented and worthy as any heterosexual or cisgender artist. From ’80s icons to pop powerhouses of today, these individuals have not only paved the way for similar musicians to authentically present themselves — they’ve also furthered the gay rights movement through their drive and their passion. After growing up in a Mormon household, see which rockstar’s life was transformed by coming out. Fred...

On the widespread fat-shaming in the gay community

Fat Gay Men Aren’t Welcomed At Pride https://www.gaypopbuzz.com/gay-fat-pride-lgbt-skipping/ June 24, 2016 I’m proud to be gay. But let’s be honest, gay and fat aren’t celebrated. By: Dale in New York This will mark my first year not going to Pride in a decade. I swore to myself after last year that I would never go again. I’m 5’10, 40 years old and 205 pounds. Does that make me fat? Yes. In fact, I technically qualify as being obese. Last year when I went to our PrideFest in New York City, more than a few gay men relentlessly made fun of me as I tried to make my way through the street fair. “Oh, look at that guy!” I heard one millennial say. And, “Jesus Christ, look at that fat f*ck!” said another, drunk off his ass. Two guys standing in front of a booth literally pointed at me as I walked by, hooting and hollering at my expense. “Oh my God! Is that a bear?” snickered one of them. I’ve been contemplating skipping Pride for several years because I...

Comment:  This provides yet another example of how idiotic can a dictator become, instructing his citizens about their private sexual practices and shows how the States can control and suppress bodily rights. We should do the best we can to stop stupid people from reaching power https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/04/16/oral-sex-yoweri-museveni-uganda-president-says-mouths-are-for-eating/ Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni says his people don’t have oral sex The president of Uganda has said that “outsiders” are trying to get people in his country to engage in oral sex. Speaking in public, President Yoweri Museveni said the sexual act was “wrong” and not what the mouth is for.

عن العنف الذي نتعرض له لمجرد كوننا مثليين من قبل الأفراد

عن العنف الذي نتعرض له لمجرد كوننا مثليين من قبل الأفراد القضية التي سأتطرق أليها هنا لا تحدث فقط في مصر، نعم لدي الدراية الكافية بذلك حيث أنها تحدث في بلاد عديدة، ولكن وقعها يكون أقوى وأصعب إذا كنت تعيش في دولة عربية أو إسلامية أو أفريقية مما يزيد من معاناة مجتمع المثليين والمثليات والمتحولين/ والمتحولات جنسيا ومتغيري النوع الاجتماعي ومزدوجي الميول. وحيث أن دول العالم المتقدمة لا تجرم أو تضطهد الفئة المذكورة، فأنه يمكن لأي من يتعرض منهم للسرقة أو الإساءة الجنسية أن يقوم بالإبلاغ عن ما تعرض له للشرطة ولكن الأمر يختلف تماما إذا كنت تعيش في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا. ومن هذا المنطلق، يعاني أفراد مجتمع ال م.م.م.م من الإساءة والاستغلال والانتهاكات الجنسية والجسدية دون أن يتمتعوا بالحق الأساسي في التوجه للشرطة والقضاء للمطالبة بالتعويض عن حقوقهم إلى جانب تعرضهم للوصم والتمييز مما يحول دون تحقيق العدالة ويثبط من عزيمتهم ويدفعهم للاستسلام والشعور بالقهر. أنا كشخص مثلي يعيش في مصر تحت ضعوط يومية، اعتدت التزام الصمت عن ما أتعرض له أنا وأقراني وأصدقائي من مآسي وانتها...
