Same sex marriage is under attack in the United States. Here’s everything you need to know about the Supreme Court case. WORDS BY JORDAN ROBLEDO For decades, LGBTQIA+ communities worldwide have fought for the same rights and liberties as their heterosexual peers.

Saint Lucia decriminalises same-sex activity in historic ruling

admin, , , ,

In a major win for LGBTQIA+ rights in the Caribbean, Saint Lucia’s law banning homosexuality has been declared unconstitutional. On Tuesday (29 July), Saint Lucia’s high court struck down colonial-era laws — “buggery” and “gross indecency” — found in sections 132 and 133 of the Criminal Code, which criminalised same-sex relations. Consensual male homosexuality, even in private, was punishable by up to 10 years in prison. The court found that the laws singled out LGBTQIA+ individuals in a way that violated basic human rights — including the right to privacy,…

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HINGE PHOTOGRAPHY LYDIA GARNETT In 2025, discourse around labels is raising big questions about how we connect and what it means to love one another.

New GAY TIMES report reveals the challenges facing independent LGBTQIA+ venues

admin, , , ,

In every town, city and corner of the UK, LGBTQIA+ venues have long served as more than mere places to gather. Dancefloors, bookstores, galleries and more have been transformed into sanctuaries, battlegrounds, and living rooms for chosen families to commune – spaces where identity is affirmed, community strengthens. Yet in 2025, the fight for their survival continues.

In response to this urgent reality,…
