admin, , , ,

The group has a long history of fighting against LGBTQIA+ rights. Last month, it was reported that the Supreme Court will formally consider a petition for a case calling on them to overturn their 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, the historic ruling that made gay marriage legal nationwide. The petition comes from former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who has made headlines and been embroiled in legal battles since she refused to sign marriage licenses for gay couples.

Couples then split up and entered a “trial marriage” with a different…

Scottish schools required to have separate toilets based on “sex recorded at birth”

admin, , , ,

Scottish schools are now required to enforce toilet polices on the “basis of biological sex.” Back in April, the UK Supreme Court dealt a devastating blow to trans rights when it ruled that the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. The decision stemmed from a dispute centring on whether a trans woman with a Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) should be treated the same as a cisgender woman under the UK’s Equality Act 2010. A week later, a Scottish judge ordered that schools must provide single sex toilets after a…

Japan expands protections for same-sex couples

According to The Japan Times, the government have decided to recognise same-sex couples as being in “de facto marriages” under nine more laws, including the Disaster Condolence Grant law.

Pete Buttigieg addresses Tucker Carlson’s conspiracy theory that he’s “faking” being gay

admin, , , ,

Pete Buttigieg has the best response to Tucker Carlson’s wild “fake gay” conspiracy theory. Back in September, the conservative political commentator referred to the former US Secretary of Transportation as “the fake gay guy” during an episode of his podcast. “My gay producer is always like ‘he’s not gay.’ He was with a girl like 20 minutes ago, and like he wants to be the Democratic nominee. It’s like: ‘time for a gay guy!” However, that wasn’t the only bizarre thing Carlson said in regards to Buttigieg’s sexuality. Later on…

G-A-Y Bar to close, marking another major loss for London’s queer nightlife

admin, , , ,

Jeremy Joseph, the owner of the legendary G–A-Y Bar in Soho, has announced its closure. Speaking to Metro, Joseph explained that long-running rent struggles, particularly during COVID, combined with Soho’s fading queer identity and safety concerns, led him to close G-A-Y Bar. He said these issues made his decision to concentrate on keeping Heaven open “a lot easier.” “When I opened the Old Compton venue, it was the gayest street in London, but now it has lost its identity,” he said. “This weekend half of Old Compton Street was closed…
