10 Songs That Celebrate Bisexuality: Demi Lovato, Panic! At The Disco, Rihanna & More http://www.billboard.com/photos/7825924/bisexual-songs-demi-lovato-panic-at-the-disco-rihanna-pride-month 10 Songs That Celebrate Bisexuality Often times, the “B” in LGBTQ feels like the forgotten middle child. Halsey, who is openly bisexual, just scored a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 with her album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom which features a song titled “Strangers,” a groundbreaking duet with Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony -- another out-and-proud bisexual woman. We’ve already sang their collaboration’s praises, but it got us thinking of other songs that showed some love to the underrepresented bisexual community. In honor of Pride month, here are our top ten songs about playing for both teams. Panic! At the Disco, “Girls/Girls/Boys” Threesomes. Brendon Urie took all the guessing out of this one and said in a Genius annotation that this track is about the first threesome

25 Songs About Gender Identity 9/20/2017  by  Trish Bendix http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/pride/7966104/25-songs-about-gender-identity A handful of the world’s most well-known pop gems are about gender identity -- and in even more specific ways than  Lady Gaga ’s “Born This Way” or  Christina Aguilera ’s “Reflection.” Trans, non-binary, and androgynous people and ideas have influenced music for several decades, whether they were writing and performing it themselves or otherwise. Some of it has been riddled with detestable ideology -- some arguable, some blatant -- and others have been praise-worthy pieces of progress embedded in song. As many of these songs were written and released from a time when transgender wasn’t yet part of the vernacular, and using correct gender pronouns hadn’t become commonplace, they could be viewed as more problematic through a modern lens. But their existence -- especially those from gender-fluid performers, who clearly excel at telling t

In the late 90s, life for gay men in Cairo was drastically different than how it is today; a number of bars, restaurants, and public spaces across the city were friendly towards men who preferred the company of other men. Cairo's gay community thrived, men from all over the city were safely interacting, meeting, dating, and expressing their sexuality in relative freedom. This was, in part, due to the government's preoccupation with a long and painful insurgency against a wave of terrorism that devastated the country through the 90s. "The scene was much more alive.

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/09/17/serbian-prime-minister-attends-pride-march-for-the-first-time/ The Prime Minister of Serbia has marched in Belgrade’s Pride parade for the first time ever. Openly lesbian  PM Ana Brnabic  joined hundreds of LGBT+ activists on the streets of the Serbian capital. Parts of the city Pride route were cordoned off by riot police to prevent clashes between right-wing groups protesting the event. Brnabic told reporters that she wanted to partake in the march  to signal a move towards a more diverse Serbia. “The government is here for all citizens and will secure the respect of rights for all citizens. “We want to send a signal that diversity makes our society stronger, that together we can do more,” she added. Although extremist groups gathered with protest banners no incidents were reported. Serbia held its first Pride in 2001 but rallies were met with violence. Since then, Pride parades have always been organised but not always carr

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/09/16/over-20-arrested-in-zanzibar-for-homosexual-activities/ Over 20 people have been arrested in Zanzibar after they were accused of engaging in “homosexual activities”. Authorities in the region, which is semiautonomous of Tanzania, said that over twelve women and eight men were arrested following a police raid. Hassan Ali, a regional police chief, said that officers raided a hotel in the area and arrested the group of suspects. It is believed that they were attending a workshop. Authorities have claimed that they suspected they were engaging in homosexual acts. Ali confirmed this and said that police would “intensify vigilance against these groups”. “We rounded them up because we suspect that they were engaged in homosexuality in Zanzibar, which is illegal in Zanzibar and is against the law of the country,” he said. In Tanzania, if a man is found to be engaging in homosexuality then they could face a jail sentence of 30 years to life
