This long-running Mardi Gras event is a highlight of the festival, second only to the parade.

The ABC has announced a “diverse and talented family of presenters” to host this year’s Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, live from the Sydney Cricket Grounds. “What better excuse for us all to get together and have a big ol’ party!?” Macdonald said. “I’m thrilled and honoured to be hosting the Mardi Gras for the ABC.

Penrith Christian School has listed transgender identity and same-sex attraction alongside “abusive relationships” as behaviours “not acceptable to God” in a statement attached to its enrolment application. Trigger Warning: This story has details of homophobic and transphobic statements, which might be distressing to some readers. For 24 hour crisis support and suicide prevention call Lifeline on 13 11 14. For Australia-wide LGBTQI peer support call QLife on 1800 184 527 or webchat.The Sydney private school’s principal, Tracey Deal, has defended the homophobic and transphobic Statement of Faith, which states that “Adultery, same-sex attraction, transgender identity, premarital sex, sexual acts between members of the same sex and abusive relationships, are all examples of relationships and behaviours which are not acceptable to God.According to the Guardian, in a letter to parents, Deal called the controversy a misunderstanding and said the media has “misinterpreted a small part of the Statement of Faith and inferred mistreatment of students.”Other parts of the Statement of Faith discuss “divine healing for the body” and “everlasting punishment of the wicked (in the sense of eternal torment).”Back in 2013, the Sydney Morning Herald reported that Penrith Christian School was forced to review its Statement of Faith after it came to light that it called homosexuality an “abomination unto God, a perversion of the natural order and not to be entered into.” The school had responded then that the “policy was now under review, according to Christian Schools Australia, which says the wording has been ‘misunderstood’ and that gay and lesbian students are treated with care”.Good to see Penrith Christian School now re-thinking their

Spotify, which exclusively hosts Rogan’s podcast, has refused to censor him — leading multiple artists to pull their catalogs from the streaming audio service in response.But in a recent episode, Rogan once again turned his attention to transgender people, after previous episodes in which he and his guests have compared being trans to having anorexia, have pushed debunked claims about medical procedures on trans youth, and decried that they can’t use anti-trans slurs.Speaking to former psychology professor and right-wing provocateur Jordan Peterson on Jan.

last year’s “No Time to Die.” But only in the latter film is there a reference to him being gay when he appears in a scene in which Bond and Naomie Harris’ character Moneypenny interrupt him planning a date with a man. But then there is no further mention of it in the movie.“I think I thought, ‘Are we doing this, and then doing nothing with it?'” he told the Guardian of first seeing the fleeting reference in a script. “I remember, perhaps, feeling that was unsatisfying.”He even went so far as to say, “I’m very happy to admit maybe some things were not great about that [creative] decision.”However, he did not think it was an addition that the filmmakers felt pressured to include.“I suppose I don’t feel it was forced upon the studio.

most successful trans and female contestant in Jeopardy! history.Schneider also amassed one of the highest earnings totals, holds the second-longest consecutive winning streak, and became the first trans Jeopardy! competitor to qualify for the annual Tournament of Champions.After dominating game after game since debuting during Transgender Awareness Week last year, Schneider’s streak was finally broken Wednesday by Rhone Talsma, a librarian from Chicago.A Final Jeopardy question on Bangladesh tripped up Schneider, who had led up to that point, while Talsma — who is also LGBTQ — answered correctly to clinch the win.Schneider said in a statement that it had been an “honor” to appear on Jeopardy!.“To know that I’m one of the most successful people at a game I’ve loved since I was a kid and to know that I’m a part of its history now, I just don’t know how to process it,” she said.Schneider had thought that Talsma “was going to be tough going into it.”“I loved hanging out with him, we had great conversation before the taping, but I could tell that he was here to play and that he was going to be good,” she said. “I still came very close to winning, but I did feel like maybe I was slipping a little bit.

controversial host appeared to endorse Peterson’s theory when he suggested that acceptance of the trans community is a sign of “civilizations collapsing” during the Jan. 25 episode of Spotify’s “The Joe Rogan Experience.”Critics are now, once again, calling out the podcast host for having “peddled harmful anti-trans rhetoric.”Rogan, 54, implored the controversial, pundit and author to share his thoughts on what made an individual trans.Peterson, 59, described it as a condition of a “sociological contagion,” comparing it to “the satanic ritual abuse accusations that emerged in daycares in the 1980s.”The former psychology professor at University of Toronto also used his time on Rogan’s popular platform to oppose Canadian federal Bill C-16, which amended the country’s human rights protections to also cover trans and non-binary citizens.

public health order issued by the New South Wales government.It comes on a day when New South Wales recorded over 30,000 cases of COVID-19.According to the health order, “Singing and dancing is not permitted at a hospitality venue, entertainment facility, nightclub, major recreation facility or music festival.”Exceptions to this rule only apply to performers who are “performing” or “rehearsing,” a person who is “instructing” or “being instructed, in singing or dancing,” and a “wedding service” or a “gathering immediately following a wedding.”One of the four main ways to obtain an exemption would be to “ensure there is no dancefloor at the event” or that “any existing dancefloor is not used.”Yesterday, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras (SGLMG) sent out the announcement stating that it was cancelling Party for the 2022 LGBTQI celebration.It wrote it was doing so with “very heavy hearts,” and Party is not “operable under the state’s Public Health Order.”It also acknowledged that the SGLMG team has “worked tirelessly with NSW Health, the State Government and venues at all stages of planning for our entire Festival.”It added, “This phase of the pandemic remains volatile, and the health and safety of our community will always remain our top priority.”Party would be a mainly indoor event with dancing.
