"Hey, I've got a question for you. Are you a good person?" the first mock text message reads. "YES! I'm good! Not perfect... but I've never done anything that bad!" the reply reads. In response, the next text states: "The Bible says; Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, no swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God."
"For me, it was always my weight." "My queerness was something that I could handle and I could have a grasp on it," said the "Stay With Me" singer, who first came out to a friend at age 10. "But my weight as a kid was the hardest thing for me." Sam first spoke about their experience getting liposuction in a 2019 interview with Jameela Jamil, describing how it came after a doctor found their body was storing excessive amounts of estrogen in their chest.
DEAR ABBY: My longtime friend let's call her Cindy is six months pregnant and has started sharing name ideas with me. Cindy will hear a word she thinks sounds pretty and decide it will make a great name for her daughter, regardless of the meaning of the word. I had to beg her to stop considering Chlamydia as a name. She finally agreed after I repeatedly emphasized the bullying her daughter could receive over that name.
As the political backlash grows, these gaps become even more important to try to fill with some creative supports. That could be partnering with local LGBTQ+ community centers, community colleges and universities, or even mainstream media willing to do coverage of their local LGBTQ+ communities.
From Anthony Bridgerton to Prince Fiyero, Jonathan Bailey's resume is a master class in swoon. His charm is so evident that when crowned him 2025's Sexiest Man Alive on Nov. 3, the magazine included a winky pat on the back on their cover: "We know, we nailed it."
A graph, supposedly used to track the number of US citizens aged between 18 and 22 who identifed as trans or non-binary from 2021 to 2024, was created by American professor of psychology Jean Twenge, in response to claims by right-wing academic Eric Kaufmann that "trans identification is in free fall among the young". In a post on X/Twitter post earlier this month, Kaufmann shared "analysis" that he claimed showed fewer people were publicly identifying as trans. But the research was challenged by journalist Erin Reed, who said it contained "a massive statistical error" by ignoring binary trans people.
A new policy rolled out by the Pentagon effectively removes a crucial part of due process for military service members facing involuntary separation under Trump's second ban on transgender military members. Those who wish to argue against their separation at a board hearing will now have the final decision made by a superior who is not required to participate in that hearing.
A cisgender woman in Arizona is speaking out after she says she was harassed by cops in the women's restroom of a Tucson Walmart late last month. Kalaya Morton, 19, of Phoenix, says she and her ex-girlfriend were using adjacent stalls in the store's women's restroom when two male sheriff's deputies entered. 'They were flashing lights on our feet and saying, 'You have to get out of here. You have to come out. We need to talk to you,'' Morton told .
NHS patients who are already receiving these medicines for gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria can continue to access them, as can patients receiving the medicines for other uses.
Adult entertainment store Hubba Hubba is closing its doors after serving the alternative and LGBTQ+ community in the area for four decades. In an Instagram post last week, owner M.J. Pullins wrote that the store is ceasing operations on Nov. 24, citing rising costs, "miserly landlords," and an economic climate that is not conducive to small businesses. Pullins wrote that the challenges "made this a fight not worth fighting anymore."
Queer spaces have long been tied to nightlife culture, born from necessity in bars and clubs where safety and community were first found. But what started as a sanctuary has, for some, become a source of harm. As rates of addiction, relapse, and overdose climb across the LGBTQ+ population, we must reckon with an uncomfortable truth: celebration shouldn't come at the cost of our lives.
At LGBTQ Nation, we give a lot of space to the people who are tearing trans kids down. It's pivotal, of course, to track the movements and policies of a hostile administration hell-bent on using trans rights as bait in its quest for supremacy and power. But what gets lost in all that noise are the others, the people who are lifting trans kids up, the ones who feed them and clothe them and love them every day for exactly who they are.
As a woman, I would like to remind anyone that is in the community I have built that I believe that trans women are women full stop and you cannot change my mind. The protection of trans people and the LGBTQ+ community is a duty I'd encourage everyone in my community to continue to fight for, we must protect the dolls. It's been an honour being able to see the variety of facially challenged and intellectually stunted come together below this post to bash a

Alan Cumming is a man who wears many hats: actor, producer, presenter and queer bar owner, but being artistic director of Scotland 's Pitlochry Festival Theatre may be his most personal project to date. The 60-year-old star, born just 15 miles from Pitlochry, aims to put the town on the map with Out in the Hills, a new festival dedicated to LGBTQ+ arts.

Japan's parliament on Tuesday elected ultraconservative Sanae Takaichi as the country's first female prime minister, ending a three-month power struggle after disastrous election losses in July for the governing Liberal Democratic Party. Takaichi, 64, replaces Shigeru Ishiba, who lasted just a year as prime minister. The struggling LDP joined the country's right-wing Japan Innovation Party to form the fragile alliance enabling Takaichi's election. Takaichi still lacks a majority in both houses of parliament, throwing prospects for a successful premiership into doubt from the outset.
The court heard that health director-general Dr David Rosengren had consulted with executives of the state's hospitals and health services at 10am on 28 January, the same time that Nicholls held a press conference announcing the ban and a subsequent review. In a statement to parliament on Tuesday, just hours after the verdict, Nicholls issued a "written ministerial direction" to reinstate the ban until the review had been completed, saying the court ruling had focused on the improper process behind the ban's enactment, not whether it was appropriate. 'I am satisfied it is appropriate and in the public interest that I issue a written ministerial direction,' he said, according to The Guardian. The new directive's provisions are believed to match those announced in January.
Trans influencer Miles McKenna was judging the event when the proposal took place.

Cheung was born in 1956, the youngest of ten children in a family that made suits for British businessmen. Fabric, gesture, and presentation were part of his upbringing. After a short stint studying in England, he returned home and entered a TV talent contest in 1977. He didn't win, but his voice - tender, pure, and edged with melancholy - caught the city's ear. By the early 1980s, he was a household name.
I am a gay woman who has served in the British army for 30 years. For hundreds of LGBT veterans, their experiences have been catastrophic their lives and careers shattered. For the serving community, today's unveiling of this incredible memorial is about remembering that we stand on the shoulders of giants those people who fought discrimination and persecution so we can now serve openly and proudly. It is about being able to say to our veterans: you belong and you always did.
Now the band has shared a new music video for their song "Gabriela" which sees each member of the band recreate an iconic Mariah look. The band are asked the same question as before, this time by Bowen Yang, before showing off their looks. After a lengthy intro, the video then switches to "Gabriela" for which the band are all dressed in rainbow tank tops, white shorts, and black boots harking back to Mariah's Rainbow album cover look.
