For minorities, it’s a different story. Being Indian-American, I […]
It’s about time: Someone from within the organization has finally stood up to the bullies at the Boy Scouts of America, who have imposed a national ban on openly adult gay members. And guess what? The BSA did not implode. NBC New York reports that the Boy Scouts’ Greater New York Council has brought 18-year-old […]
Are you in Berlin and on Grindr? Want to go make pancakes, trim nails or play chess with artist Dries Verhoeven inside a glass-walled container in a Berlin Kreuzberg square?

A time-honored tradition of excluding gay groups from the New York St. Patrick’s Day parade crumbles this week.

Last month, Lena Klimova — founder of “Children-404: We Exist” LGBT youth support group on Vkontakte and Facebook — was the fifth person to be officially charged under Russia’s “anti-gay propaganda” legislation. She was just acquitted, on the technicality that she did not actually register the social media group; she merely administrated it. The charges followed a complaint from the […]
Why does Gay Check Online exist? The website, which purports to tell you whether you’re gay or straight based on your facial features, sounds like something out of a dystopian horror film, or what the Third Reich might have come up with had they had access to webcams and the internet. Just fire up your […]
