Dennis Del Valle comes out as gay

‘I did not need the whole world to know I was gay.’ Dennis Del Valle, playing for a Swiss Team (Lausanne), opened up about his homosexuality in an interview with Swiss website 24 Heures. He said he regretted not coming out at his teammates earlier and added: “Now is the time to speak up. There must be lots of young athletes who live in secret, in Switzerland and elsewhere. On my level, I’ve had a successful career being gay. I hope they will say to themselves: ‘Why not me?’ Maybe I could change someone’s life. Me speaking out could allow someone to gain confidence, to feel safer, to not stop playing sport for fear of rejection.” When asked why he came out so late to his teammates he replied: “I especially didn’t want to break the chemistry of the team, that it could become weird in...

Turkish Children asked to stop drawing rainbows as this will turn them gay.

Pure idiocy. We all know that unfortunately Turkey, since their actual president is on his “throne” and politics allows always more space to extremist religious parties, homophobia has seen a peak and the poor Turkish LGBT+ population is having an always more hard life. A few days ago, with the beginning of the Ramadan, the head of religious affairs gave a very homophobic speech, where he blamed LGBT+ people for poisoning the youth, with their corrupted ideology. Apparently these words sorted effects on the ministry of education that has ordered schools and educators to stop children from drawing rainbows as these are symbols of the LGBT+ perversion that will turn all children gay. There is more! As reported on the JPost, The Museum of Modern Art of Instambul launched a campaign acr...

50Cent and his homophobic posts on Instagram

Such a repeater. Yes, 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) thinks that trolling Young Buck (since last year, apparently) is fun, but what is more fun is to make jokes on LGBT+ people. Really sweetie? But how did it start? Last year around this time he started trolling Young Buck on line with this post: ““Young Buck is almost ready to drop his album. He worked hard on this project, I told him his personal choice to date a tran sexual [sic] will confuse some of his core audience but with the support of the LGBT+ he should be fine.” A big homophobic offense for the LGBT+ Community - especially for trans people - and a free unneeded disgusting joke toward a colleague. Already in 2015 he wrote: “If you are a man and your [sic] over 25 and you don’t eat p***y just kill yourself damn ...

There is hope for gay couples in Scotland who want to have a baby by NHS Surrogate.

There is hope and “an open door” for others. A happy ending for Ross and Chris Muller, a Scottish couple that lives in Edinburgh and got married after 8 years of relationship. A couple that - like many others - always dreamed about starting a family together and finally their dream is coming true. They initially looked at adoption before settling on surrogacy, and having one of the best news in the world for them. After many researches they finally found a way to get surrogacy, but there is something we always have to keep in mind when taking this option into consideration: the super expensive costs of private surrogacy. They did not give up. As reported on the Daily Record, once they faced this very bad surprise, they asked NHS to help them but their request was refused because t...

Pope Ratzinger booms against gay marriages and abortion

"Gay weddings and abortion are signs of the Antichrist" Here we go again, the Pope who abdicated for a younger and more likeable Pope, the one who was put in the corner by Saint Mother Church because his likability had fallen so so much to become frightening for the entire Church Organisation, just can’t really stay quiete and water his little roses. In his biography that is being published today in Germany, and as anticipated by the ultra-conservative and Catholic American website LifeSiteNews, PapaRatzy allows himself to a series of questions in which he touches subjects, that in his opinion, are dangerous for the power of the Church in the world. According to what the aforementioned site anticipated, the real problems for The Church Ltd., are not the myriads of sexual abuses on c...

Tunisia and the possibly fake recognition of a gay marriage

What’s the truth behind the news? We have recently reported the fantastic news of a possible recognition of a marriage happened between a French man and a Tunisian man in France which, apparently, got automatically recognised in Tunisia too. But apparently now, after so many rumors, confirmations and denials, Tunisia Minister Zitoun quashes reports that this happened. The LGBT+ rights campaigner Peter Tatchell told the Jerusalem Post Wednesday that “this ruling is disappointing but not unexpected. […] A same-sex marriage conducted in France appeared to be recognized by default by the Tunisian authorities, possibly due to an administrative oversight. […] The Tunisian government has now confirmed that it does not recognize such marriages.” What is the explanation given by Zitoun? Ap...

Tunisia opens to gay marriages

The male - liwat - and female - mousahaqa - homosexual acts are punished with imprisonment up to three years in Tunisia. Yet despite this troglodyte law, Tunisia has written history between the Arab and Muslim countries, recognizing for the first time a marriage between two men. Shams association - which has always fought in the country for the decriminalization of homosexuality - through their facebook page announced this very important event. A unique news that arrives on the first day of Ramadan - a month sacred to Muslims - and which despite bringing such positive news, has sparked a heated debate in the high religious and extremist spheres of the country. This is the recognition of a marriage celebrated in France between a 31-year-old French citizen and a 26-year-old Tunisian c...

United Nations: a response to Covid-19 and the rights of the LGBT+ population

It is time to stop this stigma against LGBT+ population amidst this Coronavirus pandemic. Too many incidents among the LGBT+ population worldwide accused to be one of the causes of this Covid-19 pandemic brought the United Nations to release a note titled “COVID-19 AND THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF LGBTI PEOPLE”. There is a clear and urgent request from the High Commission of the UN to stop the stigmatisation of LGBT+ people continuously blamed for disasters, both natural and human, and especially in this historical and delicate time of our lives where we are fighting against a dangerous virus. The Office of High Commissioner makes clear example to this situation: “LGBTI people have previously been blamed for disasters, both manmade and natural, and there are scattered reports of this happe...

Same Sex Families can finally adopt in Finland

It took 3 years but it is now a reality. Helsinki is the first city with 2 same-sex families who have finally been able to adopt. In March 2017 Finland reformed and renewed their Marriage Act to finally allow same-sex couples to marry and become fully recognised families, becoming the last country of the Nordic ones to legalise marriage equality, even though until that moment Finland rarely had big homophobic issues and. In fact, equal access to fertility treatments has been legal for same-sex female couples in Finland since 2006. With the introduction of this new law, same-sex-couples, once married, would be able to adopt children: but this was not as easy as it seemed. In fact, as reported on News Now Finland, all couples willing to adopt a child must go through an extensive counsell...
