How Episcopalians Think about LGBTQ+ People & the Bible
This is one of the finest and clearest talks about homosexuality in Christianity I have ever heard. It is full of common sense, too. It’s a pleasure to listen to this priest’s message. — © Mark Alexander

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.

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.

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.
