FROM REUTERS By Angela Moon | ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. The first openly lesbian Miss America contestant will not only vie for the crown at the 95th annual pageant in New Jersey this weekend, she will also aim to spotlight the injustices faced by gay and transgender people. “We are still fighting for visibility,” 23-year-old Erin O’Flaherty, who was crowned Miss Missouri in June, said during a media event in Atlantic City ahead of Sunday’s contest final. “So it’s really important for me just to exist in this capacity as completely who I am and be open and proud about it… Keep Reading

What’s Your Sign? Horoscopes & You!

Basics of Western Astrology Explained By: Paul Curran Introduction This article covers the basics of Astrology and how they are inter-related. Astrology is defined as ‘the art or practice of determining the supposed influences of the planets and their motions on human affairs and human disposition’.

A forecast can then be produced. The Zodiac Western Astrology originated way back, around 500 BC, with a concept called the… Keep Reading

Britney Spears “GLORY”

Ready to reveal it, let inhibitions come undone…’ Britney Spears declares on ‘Invitation’, the opening track of Glory, her ninth album. It’s a lyric that feels appropriate as Britney hasn’t sounded this uninhibited in years. Uninhibited she may be, but is the album any good? In one word, yes. It’s absolutely her best since Blackout, but anybody who tells you it’s on a par with In The Zone and Blackout are massively reaching. There is a great 10 track album contained in Glory. You just need to pick out the album you prefer and delete the filler from your iTunes/Spotify.… Keep Reading

Living a Life That Matters: A Plea to Stop the Violence

Normally, I avoid speaking publicly on controversial topics that are driven by politics, religion, or race. However, as a concerned mother and aunt of young adult and teenage African American males, I find it extremely difficult to be silent about the racially-charged violence against young black males by those in whom authority is entrusted. Of course, this type of violence against young black males is not new. In my opinion, it only appears that it has just recently been occurring at alarming rates because of the heightened attention this issue has received of late. Most of the increased awareness seems… Keep Reading

INDONESIAN LGBT COMMUNITY SUFFERS

By Beh Lih Yi JAKARTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – The rights of Indonesia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community may have come under “unprecedented attack” in 2016, according to Human Rights Watch, but activists said progress had seen LGBT people no longer living in the shadows of society. The LGBT community is largely tolerated in Indonesia, especially in urban areas. But LGBT people suffered a sudden public backlash when a central government minister said in January that LGBT people should be barred from university campuses. The comment swiftly “grew into a cascade of threats and vitriol” against LGBT Indonesians, rights… Keep Reading

Editor’s Note

I would like to share some thoughts spotlighting the current spotlight on the NFL spotlighting the SF 49ers whom are spotlighting the quarterback Kaepernick who himself is spotlighting what? First amendment ? Race issues? Himself, perhaps, using this as a platform? No, I personally doubt that. The President and his own spotlighted or spotlights ? Or maybe some cause of NFL as the League or maybe even Kaepernick’s owner! That’s right owner, not boss or supervisor or commandant. No, no– clearly OWNER, and with that comes ownership rights, which are what we’ll examine: What rights, reservations, and exceptions does an… Keep Reading

Hector Silva’s Work Matters

Hector Silva’s work paved the way for latino artists in the gay community. Sometimes quaintly called “erotic,” his explicit imagery normalized gay sex by demonstrating the intimacy of lovemaking. Even if his impact was restricted to only Los Angeles’s often conflicted latino gay community, it would be important, but it found an audience far beyond his home community. It brazenly illustrated the love and adoration between two men, and it challenged any who saw it to rethink their own conception of what it meant to be queer and Latino. Self-taught, Silva draws on traditions of Chicano prison art, but the… Keep Reading
