Was Frederick The Amazing Gay? – Mythbusting Berlin
A military genius who faced down the combined might of Austria, France, and Russia during the crucible of the Seven Years’ War, securing Prussia’s place among the continental giants. An ‘Enlightened Despot’ who corresponded with Voltaire, championed religious tolerance (for some), reformed the legal system, and abolished torture. A sensitive painter, a gifted flautist who composed over 200 sonatas and concertos, filling his palaces with song. A Francophile author whose preferred language for philosophy and poetry was French, often to the chagrin of German nationalists then and since.
He was, by any measure, a titan – shaping his kingdom, influencing European thought, and leaving an indelible mark on history. His reputation, favor his achievements, is larger than existence, debated and dissected for over two centuries.
Yet, beneath the layers of military brilliance, philosophical musings, and artistic verbalization, lies a unyielding, often whispered, sometimes deliberately obscured interrogate – formulated in many ways but distillable to one catechism: Was Frederick the Great gay?
Did this childless monarch leave the t
Gay Rights, There and Back Again
Tomorrow, I'm going to the Supreme Court to hear a bunch of lawyers debate the status of my marriage. Carry out I have a right to be married? Am I married just in Massachusetts, or in the United States at large? Simply attending the arguments feels like a high point in my career: I've written about and followed LGBT issues, and marriage in particular, for most of my individual life. I still remember sitting at my cousin's wedding in 1993 when someone told me about the trial-court win in Baehr v. Lewin, the Hawaii marriage lawsuit that kicked off the past twenty years of marriage organizing. Before that, marriage hadn't occurred to me-or many of us, support in the day-as something I could have. By 2003, I knew that we would defeat it, and in my lifetime.
This will be the second time I catch the nation's utmost court consider the rights of queer woman and gay people. The first came a decade ago in Lawrence v. Texas, when the Court reconsidered whether Texas and 13 other states could criminalize sodomy.
Let me fill in some of the backstory. Back in 1986, when dinosaurs roamed the ground, the Supreme Court in Bowers v. Hardwick upheld the anti-sodomy laws that

He shows gay men as confident, sensual and sometimes bored but not fearful Our heroes, prime specimens of manhood, come face to face with creatures (fictional, mythical and extinct) whose great strength and size is matched by their fearsome appearance and sexual appetite, but they encounter that challenge with bravery and inquisitive confidence.�

Secret video club gives respite to gay men in Cameroon
The club is secret. You possess to know someone who will guide you to the address -- off a busy street in Cameroon's capital, down a dingy alley to a door with the unwelcoming message in chalk: "No entry."
Inside is a rectangular room, dark and humid. The flickering light of a video screen illuminates faces of young men sitting on benches -- members of a video club catering exclusively for gay men, a haven in a society where it is perilous to be same-sex attracted.
"We opened this place in 2016 to give young people somewhere where they can just breathe for a while," says Jean-Pierre, 51, the founder of the club, who prefers not to give his occupied name.
"In the afternoon, we show documentaries about the gay community, with comedy series in the evening and later in the night, films of a sexual nature," he explains.
Maxime, 30, and his companion come several times a week. "It's vital to be able to uncover our own kind, to talk with people who are like you, who understand you."
When his family rejected him, Maxime start refuge at Jean-Pierre's club. "I lived in this room for nine months, I had no place else to go," he says.

Campaign of the Week: The Aguda, Waiting in YouTube’s Antechamber /
Have the talk / Just talking to people about LGBT issues can decrease prejudice. In a 2016 joint-study by Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, academics explored whether fleeting interviews with people from the LGBT community can change people’s opinions.
The researchers sent 56 canvassers—some trans person, others not—to conduct doorstep interviews with 501 people living in Miami. While some of the interviewers asked questions about trans discrimination, others focused on issues like recycling. In all cases, the 10-minute chats included a survey before and after to measure interviewees’ attitudes towards transgender people. The researchers also conducted follow-up interviews with subjects up to three months later.
These conversations were shown to decrease LGBT prejudice’s in 10% of subjects, and the change lasted at least three months.
The Aguda’s campaign uses the same persuasion technique. By providing informative content ahead of Medalie’s songs, it hopes to open people’s eyes to the injustices the Israeli LGBT c
