It’s like life has just opened up because I had the courage to say: ‘This is me.’”Maria Thattil is effusive when she talks about the response from the LGBTQI community to her very public coming out as bisexual.

open letter that Victoria Police should not attend the Midsumma Pride March next month in Melbourne’s St Kilda.The open letter, which was published online on Tuesday, has attracted signatures from over 100 activists, academics, writers and performers.  A post shared by Joshua Badge (@joshua_badge)According to Pedestrian.TV, Victoria Police “confirmed in December it would attend” the February 6 event.Badge and Gafa wrote, “while some people can safely interact with police, their presence makes many more people in our communities unsafe.”This comes after a recent finding from the Victorian Pride Lobby revealed that four in five LGBTQI people do not trust Victoria Police.Badge told Pedestrian.TV that Pride March needs to be one where “all LGBTQIA+ people feel safe and are able to attend and participate.”They said Victoria Police “have ignored issues on this concern,” and they hope the open letter “encourages them to listen to community.”Gafa also told the news outlet Victoria Police is an “organisation in need of some good press” and “participating at Pride is a way of making the organisation seem progressive and LGBTQ-friendly when it isn’t in practice.”Badge and Gafa also highlighted in the letter that “police violence are everyday experiences for many people.”They reassure everyone is “welcome” but are calling for the “decentring of police.”“We want to see Pride exist in solidarity with communities worldwide and follow the example of Auckland, Brisbane, NYC, and Toronto Pride,” they wrote.“Pride March should be led by and for LGBTIQA+ communities.

By Evan Van ZijlMardi Gras has always been a broad tent as it contains all the different sections of our community. We have never been in agreement.One of the biggest donors to One Nation in the country is a gay man, as are some of the most ardent socialists, and in Mardi Gras, this distinction rises to the top.

ABC reported the Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is allowing people who have had COVID-19 to donate blood a week after recovering from it.Queer men expressed their annoyance and anger on as the Red Cross has not eased the restrictions on blood donations in Australia for men who have same-sex sexual relations.One person responded to the ABC article via with the tweet, “Maybe if the Red Cross weren’t discriminatory against Gay, Trans and Non-Binary people, there would be more people who could donate?”Maybe if the Red Cross weren't discrimatory against Gay, Trans and Non Binary people, there would be more people who could donate?— Lady_Caster (@Noir_Duck) January 18, 2022Another person tweeted, “I was born with a toxic blood condition and cannot donate.

15 resolutions proposed for the imminent Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras (SGLMG) Annual General Meeting (AGM) must be very concerned at the sharpness of internal conflicts in our movement and the calls from both “sides” to suppress debate, exclude many LGBTQI+ groups from the Parade and to expel individuals from SGLMG itself.We 78ers call on all members of SGLMG to embrace the importance of inclusiveness, open discussion and democracy in SGLMG. That the situation has reached this nadir only underlines the need for the SGLMG Board to focus on mediation, conciliation and conflict resolution and to stop right now the “let’s destroy them completely” option now afoot.This is the best way for members to call a halt to this unconstructive conflict and to tell the two “sides” to change direction.

Fisting) and it’s thrilling to report that the experience has broadened my horizons and hopefully might help broaden yours too!I was lucky enough to have a contact with whom to speak of such things. BJ has been running classes on kink and fetish in Melbourne since 2005. He took time out from his busy schedule to answer a few of my pressing questions and his generous answers were a fascinating insight into a fascinating world.When asked about the difference between kink and fetish, BJ says, “I think over the years this has become very blurry and people can be a little divided on it.

Lady Gaga and Salma Hayek share a deadly friendship in House of Gucci, but there was apparently a whole other side of the relationship that never made it to the film’s final cut.“There’s a whole side of this film that you did not see where Pina [played by Hayek] and I developed a sexual relationship,” Gaga, 35 said during an MGM studios House of Gucci panel Q&A with the cast of the film.“Should I? Should I go? Should I tell them?” Hayek asked Gaga.“I remember being on set with Salma and going, ‘So after Maurizio dies, maybe it gets hot?’” said Gaga, which elicited a round of laughter from the audience.“You think she’s kidding,” Hayek said with a wry smile.While no reason was given for the sex scene hitting the cutting room floor, Lady Gaga suggested the footage may one day see the light of day. “Director’s cut, who knows?” she said.Hayek told the audience the two had developed a “delicious relationship” and that audience “didn’t get to see all of the scenes” between the two.

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.
