A proposito. Lei ha dovuto smentire un outing che non aveva fatto. Pensa che ancora oggi resista l’etichetta “uomo che danza uguale gay”?
«Io non credo che ci siano pregiudizi o etichette, in questo senso la società si è evoluta. Credo che il problema sia legato alla celebrità, genericamente. Ma non reputo giusto che una persona con una dimensione pubblica debba per forza parlare del suo privato o essere forzata a fare delle scelte pubbliche».A proposito.

Silver Spring Wilson II identifies as a bisexual woman and some lesbians will not let her into the clique.
U People Stories are stories from regular everyday people, gay, straight, black, white and with varied beliefs who have had been made to feel like the "other". These are the kinds of stories that we all have carried with us; where it would make you cry if you thought about it but makes you laugh when you talk about it.
What the U People Story Archive does is build a bridge of understanding that unifies our struggles while at the same time lifting an emotional weight off the shoulders of the storyteller. These stories are humorous, moving and timeless. They are individually a testament of how discrimination and the emotions that result connect, effect and can change us all. www.iloveupeople.comSilver Spring Wilson II identifies as a bisexual woman and some lesbians will not let... more

EP: When we began this interview you were getting ready to play an event in support of Texas NORML in Austin. Are there any other dates beyond NORML on the horizon?
Jet: I’m planning some shows but I am not ready to announce the tour yet. It will be in select U.S. cities and several countries in Europe.
EP: Fave venue so far?
Jet: To perform at the Melkveg in Amsterdam is a rush. And my shows at Ruta Maya in Austin, Texas are a blast too. Each show and venue is different and the audience is (diferent) too. It makes my performance new to me each time.

That, my friends, is the $25,000 question! Or at least a topic of increasing popularity.
There is nothing new under the sun, and some would say that same-sex pairings are as old as history itself. So, why is it that just recently Oprah is addressing this issue? I have given this topic quite a bit of thought myself through the years and I can offer you gentle readers a whole truck load of reasons why a woman just might leave a man for another woman. Some are humorous, some are serious--and you can read them here if you are so inclined.That, my friends, is the $25,000 question! Or at least a topic of increasing... more
"A little gay kid in a small town is more important than whether I want a label." That's what actress Clementine Ford (who plays Molly in the Showtime series "The L Word") told the journalist of Diva magazine who interviewed her: "I never want to put a label on myself — but knowing that not everyone comes from such a liberal place, when something like Prop 8 comes out, you realize it’s important to stand up and be counted. " Clementine is the daughter of the famous actress Cybill Shepherd, who curiously plays also her fictional mother in "The L Word".
The interview is in the March 2009 issue of the Diva magazine."A little gay kid in a small town is more important than whether I want a label."... more

Nel numero di autunno-inverno 2008 di Numéro Homme, quindi la notizia non è propriamente recente, c’è un’intervista al celebre e celebratissimo Roberto Bolle.
All’inizio le solite domande di prammatica sul suo lavoro, su chi sono i suoi ballerini preferiti, cosa farà ne prossimo futuro (è stato “ingaggiato” da Berlusconi per il G8 in Sardegna…), insomma il solito armamentario messo in campo dai giornalisti, poi il colpo di scena. Alla fine dell’articolo l’intervistatore gli chiede se ha accettato la sua omosessualità. Strabuzzo gli occhi meravigliato, ve lo immaginate ...Nel numero di autunno-inverno 2008 di Numéro Homme, quindi la notizia non è... more
In the light of recent events that have taken place in the state of California, many people have decided that it’s time to take matters into our own hands. We will not sit back and let the rest of the world decide what we can and cannot do in America the Free.
We have borrowed from the Chicano movement and modified their "Day without a Mexican" into "Day without a Gay."
This concept is simple, but makes a huge impact.
On December 10th, 2008 we ask that all people in the LGBT community and all of our supporters call in sick to work and do not attend school. We ask that you do not purchase anything that day. We want California to see how many of us there are, and that there may be a person in their life that they didn’t know was gay.
Please join us. I know, personally, how extremely difficult it can be to come out and be open about yourself. I have overcome my fear, and I hope that all of you are able to as well.
We need to stand strong in California, and around the country. We need those that oppose us to know that we are strong and that we will NEVER GIVE UP.
Join us, and gain your equality. **this is not restricted to California**

Che Jorg Haider, leader dell’estrema destra austriaca morto tragicamente la settimana scorsa, non disprezzasse la compagnie maschili (allo stesso modo di quelle femminili) pare che fosse cosa risaputa come ormai era certo che la sera dell’incidente che ha tragicamente messo fine alla sua vita era reduce da una serata in un locale gay.
Ma Stefan Petzner, il successore alla guida del partito di cui Haider era leader (la Lega per il Futuro), fa subito fatto piazza pulita di tutte le voci che circolavano: Jorg era più di un amico e Stefan più di un collaboratore. I due erano legati da un rapporto di complicità: “Era l’uomo della mia vita” ha dichiarato Petzner in un intervista radiofonica. Un outing postumo: una scelta coraggiosa anche se politicamente suicida (ed infatti il partito ha già allungato la sua mano).Che Jorg Haider, leader dell’estrema destra austriaca morto tragicamente la... more
Non si contano quasi più le coppie formate da lei e lei tra le giornaliste e conduttrici della tv pubblica tedesca. Dopo il coming-out, un anno fa, della nota conduttrice della prima rete pubblica tedesca ARD, Anne Will con Miriam Meckel, all'elenco di coloro che non fanno mistero della propria omosessualità si aggiunge anche la «signora» della ZDF, Dunja Hayali, notissima conduttrice del programma mattutino «Morgenmagazin» e del tg di mezza sera «heute-journal» sul secondo canale della tv pubblica.

Men and women who are married or have been married to lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender people are making their voices heard in support of Coming Out Day on 11 October.
An estimated 2 million gay, lesbian, or bisexual individuals as well as an unknown number of transgender people have married or will marry heterosexual partners.
Kathy Callori, executive director of the Straight Spouse Network, stated that when their spouses come out or transition, straight partners feel ignored, betrayed, and sexually rejected and often embark on their own soul-searching path to healing. "They and their children too are often stigmatized or isolated in social or religious groups. They also fear their LGBT partners will lose their jobs or community status if they come out publicly," she says. Men and women who are married or have been married to lesbian, gay, bisexual or... more
Snap shot of one young gay man's ongoing "coming out" marking National Coming Out Day 2008 (UK) on 12th October. Featuring Peter Kumar who this year, is coming out to his Indian family. Video produced by the Queer Youth Network - the National LGBT Youth Organisation.
Observed internationally the day creates the opportunity for individuals to be open about their lifestyles, relationships, friends and families and also creates a discussion and platform for their allies to encourage diversity and acceptance.
Everyone can participate in National Coming Out Day even if you're not coming out yourself! The point is to raise awareness and reinvigorate the spirit of courage and unity between people of all genders, races, sexualities, nationalities, ages, backgrounds and beliefs.Snap shot of one young gay man's ongoing "coming out" marking National Coming Out Day... more

Feltrinelli sta per pubblicare, a vent’anni di distanza dalla prima, la decima edizione di Ragazzi che amano ragazzi.
Il libro, scritto nel 1988 da Piergiorgio Paterlini, è considerato un vero cult ed il precursore della letteratura gay in Italia e, nonostante il tempo passato, un libro attualissimo.
“Se ancora tanti, troppi ragazzi - scrive l’autore nella nuova introduzione - si riconoscono in queste storie di vent’anni fa (quando non c’era internet, non c’erano, almeno capillarmente come oggi, né l’Arcigay né l’Agedo né le Famiglie Arcobaleno, non c’erano quasi libri, non c’erano i mille film e telefilm che oggi raccontano una “condizione” omosessuale serena e a volte felice) […] significa che il poco o tanto che è cambiato non basta”
Il libro, una raccolta di interviste, è una fotografia fedele della condizione omosessuale fatta da chi, all’epoca, la scopriva in se. Una foto scattata non solo ai ragazzi omosessuali, ma a tutti i giovani e al mondo che li circonda.Feltrinelli sta per pubblicare, a vent’anni di distanza dalla prima, la decima... more

Sexperience offers a wide range of videos that give real personal experiences of sexual issues and problems, as well as providing frank advice. The videos cover a broad variety of topics from when people lost their virginity to threesomes.
Britain has the worst STD rate among young people and the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Western Europe, so we really need to start talking about sex more openly.
YouGov's Sex Education survey for Channel 4 revealed that 20% of the 14-17-year-olds surveyed had their first sexual experience at 13 or under and that 15% of teens are unaware there is no cure for HIV/AIDS.
Sexperience will open up discussions and encourage young people to talk about sex more honestly.
