Honestly though why does Spotify even need to know what gender you identify as? It’s a music streaming service lol

Probably tracking user listening habits for marketing purposes.

Indian supreme court decriminalises homosexuality

YASSSSSS!!!

God damn, India. I never know how to reconcile some of the terrible **** I hear out of India with how every Indian actually from India I've ever met is the nicest person in the world.

How Britain’s colonial legacy still affects LGBT politics around the world

Quote:

Theresa May, urged Commonwealth nations to reform existing anti-gay legislation held over from British colonial rule. And while stopping short of a formal apology, she used her speech to explicitly acknowledge Britian’s responsibility: “As the United Kingdom’s prime minister, I deeply regret both the fact that such laws were introduced and the legacy of discrimination, violence and death that persists today.”
Thanks, Britain!

How many musicians from the 50’s or earlier were queer that we you know of?

The first that comes to mind for me is Sister Rosetta Tharpe, one of the progenitors of rock music. She played gospel music with an electric guitar, and was an excellent artist. There is also a great deal of evidence that she was lesbian, or at least bisexual.

Any others out there? Any genre is great.

Little Richard is an obvious one.

Brunei to make same-sex sexual acts punishable by death by stoning

Psy-Fi 04-03-2019 06:41 AM

It's official...

'Barbaric to the core': Brunei brings in gay sex stoning law

Quote:

The tiny, Muslim-majority kingdom in 2013 became the first East Asian country to adopt Sharia law at a national level and it introduced the legislation and associated penalties in stages, with the new measures set to begin Wednesday, April 3.

Under stages two and three of the penal code, sex between two men and adultery both carry a punishment of stoning to death, while sex between two women is punishable with 100 lashes.
The law also introduces harsh penalties such as amputation of limbs for stealing, and imprisonment for dressing as someone of a different gender.

Under the new laws, if a woman has an abortion, she could face 15 years in prison. Similarly, pregnancy out of wedlock is punishable by up to two years in prison.

The penalties also differ depending on whether the accused is a Muslim, married and the level of evidence. A Muslim who declares themselves a non-Muslim, a god, or who mocks the Quran could also receive the death penalty. By contrast, sexual intercourse with a dead person or an animal carries a maximum 10 year prison sentence.

Tfw you use the brutal oppression of homosexuals as an avenue to stroke your victim complex. It's almost like Merit never got banned.

It’s not Islam it's Sharia Wahhabism don’t you know? Real Islam is down with the rainbow. Like Iran for instance, the place is like a giant pack of skittles.

Yeah but you're like, "Thanks, fags, I really needed a hate boner today."

Compared to this data London has a much bigger problem with this stuff than NYC

Tennessee preacher-cop calls for execution of LGBTQ people

Quote:

"They are worthy of death," Grayson Fritts said in a June 2 sermon at All Scripture Baptist Church, a small church in Knoxville that he leads.

"God has instilled the power of civil government to send the police in 2019 out to the LGBT freaks and arrest them and have a trial for them, and if they are convicted, then they are to be put to death," he said in the clip.

"We have a bunch of them we're going to get convicted because they have all their pride junk on, and they're professing what they are, that they're a filthy animal," he said.
