LGBT+ Users take over Twitter with the hashtag #proudboys to fight extreme right group.

Members of the LGBT+ community from all around the world have been making #ProudBoys trend on twitter by posting images of gay pride and pictures of themselves kissing their loved ones. This is what we can easily call a “peaceful fight” against something belonging to far right groups which are not so LGBT-friendly (or not at all). The Proud Boys group has denied being a homophobic organisation, but they are indeed a far-right and anti-migrant organisation. This is why actors, Canadian armed forces, users from all over the world have started sharing supporting pictures to drown out all posts related to this group. Who are these Proud Boys? Founded in 2016 by Canadian-British right-wing activist Gavin McInnes, the Proud Boys is a far-right, anti-immigrant, all-male group. The group ...

JK Rowling anti-trans tweets are such a disgusting side of someone who gained tons of money with stories of character not fitting in what she defines “normality”.

Her PR team blamed on middle-age related issues when it happened first, but Ms. Rowling proves to be a real TERF, and she’s not ashamed. It all started when JK Rowling took issue with an article in Devex, the media platform for the global development community, with the headline: “Creating a more equal post-COVID-19 world for people who menstruate.” You may ask your-self why. Well, she apparently got offended with the sentence “who menstruate” …. now, honey, wouldn’t have it been easier to ask your fans to donate for this project or simply dislike the project and promote a different one? Or simply ignore this? There are so many sentences on LGBT+ communities that I find offensive and inappropriate or even ignorant - just like your anti-trans tweets - but I do turn into a racist. I rather...

Billy Santoro disappeared from adult sites after racist comments on social media.

Billy Santoro is a gay porn star based in Australia, that after racist comments and after he called called police to shoot Black Protesters #BlackLivesMatter, has disappeared from adult sites. US are living a really dramatic moment in history: Covid-19 and the rise of Black Communities against the usual brutality of police offices and state-accepted-racism. Demonstrations that have found allies all over the world and especially amongst the LGBT+ community. But, apparently, this does not apply to Billy Santoro, famous gay porn-star, that lately has used his social media channels (and it is not the first time) to demonstrate his “sympathy” for police officer calling on the to shoot Black People which were demonstrating in the streets.

Netflix stands up for LGBT+ characters

International streaming giant Netflix has defended the decision to host characters representing the LGBT+ community throughout its slate, in opposition of a derogatory tweet.

Musileaks: Lady Gaga’s “Free Woman” leaks on twitter.

Yes, little “monsters”, twitter is a fantastic place (almost for everything, if you know what I mean), and this time … actually just last night while I could not fall asleep, I bumped into this tweet: https://twitter.com/Gypsypop2/status/1258599382406094850 The entire twitter community went crazy, and no-one could actually believe this song leaked… but hey… not only some music leaked and all Gaga’s fans finally could take a breath of fresh air, but also what might be the official lyrics leaked, and we do like them so much. https://twitter.com/LG_Views/status/1258619940799725569 Do you remember when Lady Gaga spoke about Free Woman in a PAPER magazine interview? “In 2020, what does it mean to be a free woman? Can I feel free on my own? Do I need to be loved in order to feel l...

It Friday and on Friday we don’t worry about anything (or at least we try not to) because all we want is to have fun. So this year Russia has decided to be represented by a band that in Russia and Europe is already quite famous, whose SKIBIDI choreography has become the most reproduced meme on TikTok in Russia in recent months. https://youtu.be/mDFBTdToRmw Gentle Ladies and Gentle Gays… please, welcome Little Big Band on the stage! But no, they have decided to surprise us even more: Little Big will go on stage in Rotterdam 2020 with UNO. https://youtu.be/L_dWvTCdDQ4 Little Big Band is from St. Petersburg and the group members are Ilya Prusikin, Sonya Tayurskaya, Anton Lissov and Sergey Makarov. The group represents a burning cocktail of absurdity, combined with powerful pun...
