It is all because of the gays if Los Angeles is burning!

Breaking News: Gays Blamed for Wildfires in LA—Again! 🔥🌈 Oh, Mary, grab your fans because this is too much! According to a so-called “expert” (and we use that term loosely), the gays are apparently the reason for the wildfires scorching Los Angeles. Yes, really. Seems like we’ve moved on from being blamed for hurricanes and economic downturns to now setting California ablaze! It’s giving Desperate Housewives meets The Da Vinci Code, and frankly, we’re howling. “The Gays Did It” – A Tired Old Tune 🎶 Apparently, when life gets tough, people still find it easier to blame queer folks than, you know, actual causes like climate change, deforestation, or poor urban planning. But sure, let’s all believe that gays sipping oat milk lattes on Santa Monica Boulevard are summoning wildfires with ...

LGBTQ+ Meta staff and the case of time off for “mental illness” – the saga continues

Meta’s Hate Speech Chaos: LGBTQ+ Employees Speak Out, and the Fallout Could Be Massive 🌈 In a shocking turn of events, LGBTQ+ employees at Meta are reportedly calling themselves “mentally ill” and taking time off work after the tech giant decided to relax its hate speech policies. This isn’t just a workplace issue—it’s a signal flare for the broader community and a potential harbinger of even darker days ahead. 💔 Let’s unpack this drama, darlings. Meta’s new policy, which seemingly allows certain types of hate speech under the guise of “freedom of expression,” has understandably left its LGBTQ+ employees feeling unsafe, unheard, and disillusioned. Some are even claiming that this shift in policy violates the company’s own ethos of fostering inclusivity. And honestly? They're not wrong....

Montana: a bill about transphobia and bigotry

Montana’s Transphobic Bathroom Bill: A Recipe for Hate and Harm 🚫 Oh, loves, here we go again. The state of Montana has just pushed forward House Bill 121, a vile piece of legislation designed to ban transgender individuals from using bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity. Honestly, it’s giving 1950s segregation vibes, and we’re not here for it. Not one bit. This isn’t just a local squabble across the pond—it’s a dangerous precedent that feeds into the global epidemic of transphobia. It’s ignorant, it’s cruel, and it could have devastating consequences for trans folks everywhere. Let’s break it down. A Bill Built on Bigotry 💔 HB 121 is dressed up as a “safety” measure, but let’s be real—it’s pure and unfiltered discrimination. Transgender people have been p...

Emilia Perez: an Oscar to the Queer Representation

And the Nominees Are… Queer Representation is Slaying the SAG Awards! 🎭🌈 Darlings, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards 2025 nominations are out, and wow, it’s giving diversity, it’s serving inclusion, and it’s dripping with queer excellence. 💅 This year’s list of nominees has us gagging—not just for the incredible talent being celebrated but also for what it means for LGBTQ+ representation in the arts. A Spotlight on Queer Brilliance ✨ For years, we’ve been screaming for more LGBTQ+ stories to take centre stage, and the industry is finally starting to listen (took ‘em long enough, eh?). From openly queer actors leading major projects to storylines that explore the nuances of LGBTQ+ lives, this year’s SAG noms are proof that Hollywood is edging closer to reflecting the real world. Th...

Russia Anti-Gay laws make more victims every day.

Russia’s Anti-Gay Crackdown: A Cruel Joke That’s No Laughing Matter 🌈💔 Alright, loves, let’s have a little chinwag about Russia’s latest disgusting display of anti-LGBTQ+ hate. The case of Anton Yevdokimov, a queer Russian comedian, is a stark reminder of the vile lengths to which this regime will go to silence and punish our community. And frankly, it’s enough to make anyone see red—no pun intended. The Tea on Anton Yevdokimov’s Arrest 🍵 Anton, a rising star in Russia’s comedy scene, has been arrested for daring to joke about being gay. Yes, you read that right—a joke. Under Russia’s oppressive "gay propaganda" laws, even a throwaway gag that affirms LGBTQ+ existence is deemed criminal. It’s tragic, really. Comedy has always been a way for marginalised groups to push back against po...

Canadian LGBTQ+ people are scared of Pierre Poilievre, and this is why!

Pierre Poilievre’s Shady LGBTQ+ Comments: Just a Gaffe or Something More Sinister? 🌈 Darling, it seems the tea is well and truly spilled north of the border. Pierre Poilievre, Canada’s Conservative leader and Prime Minister hopeful, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Over the weekend, he casually tossed out a statement claiming Justin Trudeau and his Liberals have been using LGBTQ+ issues as a “wedge.” Oh, Pierre, love, let’s unpack this, shall we? The Drama Unfolds While Trudeau’s government has long championed LGBTQ+ rights—think equal marriage, trans protections, and all that jazz—Poilievre’s comments suggest he thinks it’s all just a ploy to divide voters. Excuse us, but what planet is she on? Pierre’s tone-deaf critique reeks of minimising the hard-won battles of queer ...
