Dubai for Gay Expats: What the Golden Visa Ads Don’t Tell You

July 28, 2026 | Dubai is aggressively attracting expats, entrepreneurs and remote workers with low taxes, luxury living and long-term residency options.

But there’s one rather important question if you’re gay: What would your life there actually look like? 🇦🇪🏳️‍🌈

The UAE’s Golden Visa and other residency programs can make Dubai look incredibly attractive on paper. But financial freedom and personal freedom aren’t necessarily the same thing.

In this video, I look beyond the glossy Dubai marketing to examine what LGBTQ+ expats should understand before considering a move to the UAE.

Homosexuality: The Underside of Conversion Therapies | Full Documentary

Nov 18, 2023 | Accepting one’s homosexuality for an American today ought to be simple? And yet, it is not so straightforward! 700,000 young people in the United States have already undergone so-called conversion therapies, intended to "cure" their homosexuality.

Run by religious or pseudo-scientific communities, these therapies promise to fix a supposedly "deviant sexual orientation" and to change a person’s inner identity.

Through social, familial, and religious pressure, Mathew, Jordan, and Lucas all signed up for these therapies and went through hell: Isolation, sequestration, humiliation, food deprivation, physical and psychological violence.

Today, a political combat is underway to halt these therapies and to acknowledge the victims. This is likely to be a long process, given that such practices are still allowed in 41 states and have the backing of the Trump administration.

Homosexuality vs. Homosociality | Yesterqueers

July 24, 2026 | Hunter Biden really needs to stop talking about closeted gay politicians. Accusing lawmakers of being closeted implies that queer people are the architects of our own oppression, and it greatly misunderstands the difference between men who are homosexual and men who are homosocial.

Racy Short Story by Alan Turing Offers Glimpse of ‘Playful, Funny, Cheeky’ Side

THE GUARDIAN: Writing from year after gross indecency arrest challenges ‘isolated mathematician’ image, says Cambridge academic

When people think of Alan Turing, they might imagine he was arrogant, isolated, humourless, tortured. A better way of remembering the father of modern computing would be, an academic argues, as “playful, funny, cheeky, literary, and someone who really liked sex”.

The Cambridge University English literature professor Sarah Dillon has transcribed and studied a little-known short story that Turing wrote in the year after his arrest in Manchester for gross indecency.

Her conclusion challenges the popular understanding of Turing as an “isolated mathematician”. The short story, she said, shone light on a man who loved literature, was enjoying life and was not ashamed of his sexuality.

“I hope it will go some way towards resetting the narrative around Turing,” she said. “We think we know this figure and we don’t. There was more to him than is popularly believed.” » | Mark Brown | North of England correspondent | Friday, July 24, 2026

‘Hand Jobs, Oral Sex and Anal’: Pete Hegseth's Pastor Wants Gay Men Prosecuted for These Acts

July 21, 2026 | In February, Doug Wilson made headlines after giving a sermon at the Pentagon as part of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s monthly Christian worship service. Wilson, the lead pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, holds a number of controversial views: He believes the U.S. should become a Christian theocracy, married women shouldn’t have the right to vote and gay sex should be illegal.

In his first interview with an LGBTQ publication, Wilson talks about his connections to Hegseth and others in the Trump administration. He estimates that 10 to 20 people in the government are aligned with his radical ideology. He explains that he thinks trans people are “sad,” certain elements of his idea of “homosexual behavior” should be punished by execution and in certain cases of marital rape, both parties should be disciplined.



The very dangerous Doug Wilson is full of BS! He needs to be driven back under the rock he came out from. — © Mark Alexander

Worse Than Nazi Prison: "The Auschwitz for Homosexuals"

July 19, 2026 | This documentary explores the persecution of gay men under Nazi Germany and the devastating impact of Paragraph 175 during the Second World War.

Once home to one of the world's most vibrant LGBTQ communities, Germany saw decades of progress swept away after Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933. What followed was a systematic campaign of arrests, imprisonment, and persecution that affected tens of thousands of men across the Third Reich.

The film examines the destruction of Berlin's famous Eldorado nightclub, the closure of Magnus Hirschfeld's pioneering Institute for Sexual Science, and the expansion of Paragraph 175, which enabled the Nazi regime to prosecute an ever wider range of relationships between men.

It also explores the role of Heinrich Himmler, the Gestapo, and the SS in enforcing these policies, as well as the experiences of those imprisoned in concentration camps under the pink triangle.

Drawing on survivor testimony, wartime records, and historical research, this documentary follows the stories of men such as Josef Kohout, whose memoir became one of the earliest personal accounts of life as a homosexual prisoner in the Nazi camp system.

It also examines the medical experiments conducted by SS doctor Carl Værnet, the continued persecution of gay men after 1945, and the long struggle for recognition that continued decades after the fall of the Third Reich.

The documentary also highlights acts of courage and resistance, including Dutch artist Willem Arondeus, who fought against Nazi occupation despite the risks he faced as a gay man. His story stands alongside those of thousands whose lives were shaped by persecution, discrimination, and resilience.

Through historical documents, survivor testimony, and archival evidence, this film offers a balanced examination of one of the least discussed aspects of World War II and the Holocaust, while exploring the legacy of memory, justice, and human rights that continues to resonate today.

These religious freaks are cruel and ignorant. Homosexuality is not a choice; rather, it is innate. One is born with such proclivities. The environment and circumstances one is raised in also have their part to play in determining a person’s sexual orientation. The gay cannot be prayed away. Conversion therapy is destined to fail. The best that it can achieve is the suppression of homosexual tendencies. But that in itself is extremely damaging to one’s mental and physical health. In a civilized society, these practices should be outlawed. Being gay is very natural. If it weren’t, why on earth would it be present in the animal kingdom? Americans need to be enlightened. They are living in darkness. — © Mark Alexander

Exploring the Science behind Homo and Heterosexuality | SLICE Science | Full Documentary

Jun 13, 2026 | Natural selection predisposes us to heterosexuality and reproduction. A portion of the population thinks this is a choice or a decision. But not only. Since several years science interrogates the roots of sexual orientation, homo and hetero. Have we really a choice?

The spectacular advances in research on the human genome, coupled with recent studies on the effects of hormones on behavior, upsets conventional viewpoints on our sexual behaviors, and control of them by our brain. Science has discovered quite recently that biological factors are themselves influenced by the environment, and individual history. This is new and fundamental scientific data.

This document brings new light on the diversity of sexual behaviors, which are not specifically human, since some 450 animal species have been identified as being at least partially bisexual.

Homosexuality is not the mental illness of yesterday, nor the genetic defect of tomorrow; it is simply a natural variant of one of our basic biological characteristics, our sexual orientation.

This Week: Homosexuals (1964) - Extract

July 14, 2017 | This episode of acclaimed current affairs series This Week was the first British non-fiction programme about homosexuality, following reports on other ‘taboo’ subjects, such as abortion, suicide and drug addiction.

This edition focuses on the problems encountered by gay men in British society, making comparisons with Holland, where homosexuality was not illegal and gay men could live freely without fear of arrest and imprisonment.

Bryan Magee, the presenter of This Week, interviewed over 200 gay men, getting in contact with many through the Albany Trust, before he chose several to take part in the programme.

The gay men were brave in facing the camera, although they remain anonymous, enabling them to talk frankly and honestly about their experiences and sexual matters.

Many of the interviews found their way into Magee’s book One in Twenty (1966). It was translated into eight languages and continued to sell well into the 1970s.

This ground-breaking programme undoubtedly contributed to the campaign to change the law and decriminalise homosexuality, which finally happened in 1967.



Being queer is one of God’s blessings. He must have been in a good mood when He created us. So, to thank Him and show Him our gratitude, the least we can do is be proud of the blessing He has bestowed upon us! 😊 — © Mark Alexander

Ghana: - Its Anti-Gay Law Must Surely Be Vetoed in the Name of Commonn Sense, Mercy, and Compassion

AVAAZ: Days ago Parliament passed a horrific anti-gay bill. If it becomes law, innocent people could be locked up when all they want is to love in peace. Many have gone into hiding. Others are already fleeing the country.

But let’s not lose hope.

President Nana Akufo-Addo could veto the bill and stop it from becoming law. We know he doesn't actually support it - he understands how bad it is for Ghana’s international reputation.

“We are deeply worried about the national bill that plans to send people to prison because of their sexual orientation. We call on you to veto the anti-gay bill to become law in Ghana.”

Please sign this PETITION to help veto this outrageous bill.

UGANDA: Further, we have less than two weeks to tell the world Wendy and Diana's story.
What would you risk to kiss the one you love? Wendy and Diana, a young lesbian couple in Uganda, risked everything. And now the government wants to lock them in prison because of who they love. Brave LGBT+ champions inside Uganda are saying that an international outcry could be enough to push authorities to set Wendy and Diana free. But time is running out – their trial starts in less than two weeks and they’re facing years behind bars.
Please sign this PETITION to help these two young ladies. Time is running out. Please sign the petition here.

Ghana's Parliament Passes Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill

This screenshot is from this BBC article. | Reverend John Ntim Fordjour, the Ghanian MP who sponsored the bill, speaks to media after it passed parliament

BBC: The parliament in Ghana has approved a new bill criminalising homosexuality and the promotion of LGBTQ+ activities.

It proposes that identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer be punished by up to three years' imprisonment. The bill also introduces a "duty to report" prohibited acts to police.

Religious leaders have pressured President John Dramani Mahama, who still needs to ratify the legislation, to strengthen anti-gay laws since he came to power last year.

The ban has been sharply criticised by international organisations, including Human Rights Watch, which said it placed LGBTQ+ peoples' lives at risk while also "encouraging citizens to surveil and denounce one another".

Same-sex relationships have been banned in Ghana under laws dating from the British colonial era.

In an address to parliament, the bill's sponsor Reverend John Ntim Fordjour said it would protect Ghanaian family and cultural values.

He said the new bans would make existing laws "more robust, more encompassing and more stringent in dealing with the practices of LGBTQI".

Anyone who identifies as an "ally", a general term for a supporter of LGBTQ+ people, could also face a prison sentence. » | Harry Sekulich and Thomas Naadi | Saturday, May 30, 2026

This reverend’s robe is pretty and colourful; his thoughts, alas, are ugly and dark! Clearly, he has been filling his head with fiction, myth, and fairy stories! His reading has clearly clouded his judgment.

When will these unenlightened, backward-thinking people ever learn that ALL of God’s children should be given their God-given right to pursue their own happiness, given the hand that God dealt them?

It is truly ignorant and benighted to imagine that the granting to gays of their rights to a life of happiness, peace, and harmony endangers family life in any way. Gays don’t want to dissolve family life; on the contrary, they merely wish to have the right to form their own families. A gay wants love and tenderness just as much as a straight person does. So why do these backward-thinking people wish to deny gays those same rights? The rights that straight people expect for themselves, and take for granted.

Being queer is not catching! Granting homosexuals rights does not detract from a heterosexual’s rights in any way whatsoever. Moreover, a straight person is not going to turn queer just because there are a few queers living amongst them in the community! People are born queer; it is not a lifestyle choice! Fact is, it was God’s choice for them to be that way in the first place. It was God’s choice if one is religious; and if one is not religious at all, then it was mother nature that made queers, queer. Either way, one cannot argue with God or Nature.

This is 2026. It is high time that you people grew up and learnt something about science. Stop believing in the fairy tales of yore, from books of dubious provenance, and start believing in scientific facts instead! If you do that, it will ensure the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people, queer or straight! And maximizing happiness should be our aim. — © Mark Alexander

The Recovering Catholic: What's Really behind the Christian Obsession with Homosexuality

Jun 7, 2026 | Why are so many Christians concerned with gay people while often ignoring other issues the Bible discusses far more frequently? In this video, we explore the history, theology, culture, fear, and social factors that have made homosexuality one of the most debated topics in modern Christianity. You'll discover why this issue became such a focal point, what the Bible actually says, and whether the focus reflects the teachings of faith or something deeper within religious culture. If you've ever wondered why LGBTQ issues generate so much attention in Christian circles, this conversation offers historical context, spiritual insight, and a fresh perspective.


These simple people who call themselves “Christian” have a very poor understanding of the Bible and of what Christianity teaches them. For starters, a Christian is supposed to believe that God is the Creator — the Creator who created everything, including homosexuals.

If we are to believe the Christian message, then we humans are an integral part of God’s creation — we are, in fact, God’s children. Ergo, if a homosexual is one of God’s creation then God clearly intended for that person to be that way. Or are we also to believe that God makes mistakes, believe that God errs?

But this cannot be! Why? Because we are also implored, nay commanded, to believe that God is all-knowing, omniscient, and infallible. He is therefore inerrant. So, if God is infallible, one can come only to one conclusion, and it is this: God created homosexuals that way because He wanted them to be that way. So, who are we, as mere mortals, to argue with God’s intentions and about His Creation?

The conclusion: It is Christian's bounden duty to accept homosexuals just as they are, for that is how God intended them to be. We might argue about the nature of behaviour; but we cannot, and should not, argue about the nature of being.

Hence, homosexuals should be PROUD of their God-given nature, and both homosexuals and heterosexuals alike should be tolerant and accepting of each other. This will lead to PEACE and UNDERSTANDING in the community. And God is, after all, the God of love and of peace. Indeed, Jesus, who Christians are supposed to believe is the ‘Son of God’ and be part of the Triune God, is often called the ‘King of Peace’.

It is interesting to note that Jesus never talked about the concept of same-sex attraction and same-sex love. Had this been a problem for Him, He surely would have said something about it. — © Mark Alexander
