The tropical island of Mauritius could be on a path to decriminalise gay sex as a second case against the current law comes to the Supreme Court.

Abdool Ridwan Firaas Ah Seek, a 29-year-old human rights activist, claims Section 250 is unconstitutional. The law dates from 1898 when Mauritius was under British colonial rule and punishes ‘sodomy’ with five years in prison.

His lawyers argue the law goes against fundamental rights guaranteed in the Constitution of Mauritius. These include the right to  equality, privacy, freedom of expression, personal liberty, non-discrimination and protection against inhuman and degrading treatment.

A law change may also be good for the economy. Mauritius lies in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Africa. Its warm seas, pristine beaches and stunning plants and flowers make tourism a large part of the economy.

Second case against Section 250

Ah Seek’s case is not the only appeal against the law currently before the Supreme Court of Mauritius.

Another 29-year-old, Najeeb Ahmad Fokeerbux, founder of Mauritian LGBT+ group Young Queer Alliance, and three other young gay men are also challenging the law.

The cases represent frustration with the government for failing to strike down the colonial-era law.

The country’s Law Reform Commission said Section 250 should be scrapped in 2007. Furthermore Former Attorney General Rama Valayden tried to pass a law to make consensual same-sex activity legal but failed to get it through.

The government of Mauritius promised to reconsider the issue in 2017. But since then, progress has stalled.

Court hearings will continue early in 2020 and both groups hope to have the law struck down next year. However, they accept it may be 2021 before the court rules.

Archaic law

The largest and oldest LGBT+ organisation in Mauritius, Collectif Arc-En-Ciel (CAEC), is supporting Ah Seek’s case.

They say prosecutions for gay sex are rare under Section 250. However, the fact the law exists means LGBT+ people are stimatized. CAEC says that makes people less likely to go for HIV testing and encourages hate speech and discrimination.

‘Section 250 is like the sword of Damocles hanging over the lives of LGBT Mauritians. The time has come to repeal this discriminatory law that unfairly targets members of our society simply because of who they love,” said Aschwin Ramenah, Director of CAEC.

‘The way in which adults lead their lives in close, consensual relationships in the privacy of their own homes should never be a matter for state interference. Archaic laws like Section 250 have no place in our modern and democratic society.

‘Challenging Section 250 opens a new chapter in Mauritian  history. The CAEC hopes that the Supreme Court will relegate this law to the history books, and our country can finally live up to its reputation as a rainbow nation, where every citizen enjoys the same constitutionally-protected rights and is treated with equality and dignity.’

Other LGBT+ laws in Mauritius

Despite Section 250, LGBT+ people do have some protections under Mauritian law.

Since 2008, the law has protected them from discrimination at work and as customers of shops and other businesses. Furthermore, hate speech is illegal, gay and bi men can to give blood and lesbians can access IVF.

The Law Reform Commission is even reportedly considering legalising same-sex marriage.

However, Mauritius doesn’t recognise same-sex marriage or partnerships and same-sex couples can’t adopt children together. Trans people face a lot of prejudice and don’t have the legal right to change their gender on official documents.

Attitudes on the island vary widely. On the one hand, Mauritius relies heavily on tourism for its economy and many of the island’s resorts actively welcome same-sex couples from abroad.

Moreover, young people are thought to widely support LGBT+ rights. And a 2016 survey showed that half of Mauritians would be content to have an LGBT+ neighbor.

However, there is still widespread prejudice.

In particular, when CAEC tried to hold an LGBT+ Pride in 2018, they received hundreds of threats of death and mutilation. In the end, they had to cancel the event. It is thought the campaign was orchestrated by Islamic extremists.

Tropical island of Mauritius could be next country to make gay sex legal

American freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy has given up being on the US Winter Olympics team and will ski for Britain at the next games.

Kenworthy has become internationally famous as an LGBT+ sporting hero after he came out as gay in 2015.

Kenworthy grew up in Telluride, a ski and golf resort town in Colorado US. However, he was born in Essex, southern England. Moreover, he has an English mother, Heather Tyler, as well as an American father, Peter Kenworthy.

While he is just 28, the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022 are likely to be his last games.

Kenworthy switches to team GB

Kenworthy, a keen Instagrammer, announced his reasons for the team switch on the social platform.

He said: ‘I am very excited to announce that I will be competing for Team GB on the road to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

‘Although I was raised in the US I was born in the UK and my mum is British through-and-through.

‘She has been my #1 fan for my entire life and has proudly stood at the bottom of the mountain waving the stars and stripes in support of me for two Olympic cycles.

‘Now, in what is sure to be my last Olympic appearance, I’d like to return the honor by proudly holding up the British flag for her.’

Some have suggested that Kenworthy was also inspired to make the switch because the British Winter Olympics team is easier to get into.

Previously Britain’s most famous winter games competitor has been Eddie the Eagle Edwards. He famously came last in ski jump competitions in 1988. 

Olympic success

Kenworthy won the silver medal for slopestyle skiing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. The games were, of course, controversial due to Russia’s anti-LGBT+ policies, in particular the ‘gay propaganda’ law.

Kenworthy again represented the US in slopestyle at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. At that games, he made it to the final but didn’t win a medal.

However he has won AFP World Championships overall titles in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Since the 2018 games, Kenworthy has diversified his career. This year he guest starred in a Snatch Game episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race and joined the cast of American Horror Story.

Kenworthy comes out

Kenworthy came out as gay in an ESPN interview in 2015.

He subsequently told British LGBT+ magazine Attitude: ‘I wanted to do it in my words and once and for all – and hopefully help kids that are in the same position I was.’

British gay Olympic diver Tom Daley has welcomed Kenworthy to Team GB with a wry comment on his Instagram post.

‘Oh. So we are team mates now,’ Daley said.

Lana Del Rey deemed furries “gross” as she lashed out against the community during a live stream.

Whilst talking to her fans on an Instagram live stream, Lana was asked if she was a furry. The award-winning singer had a clear response to the question as she answered: “I’m not a furry, you guys are gross.”

The live stream, which happened on September 4th, came just after she released her newest album, Norman Fucking Rockwell.

It’s her 6th studio album to be released, with her previous album, Lust for Life, being nominated for a Grammy.

Furries are people who have human personalities and characteristics but are interested in anthropomorphic animal characters and enjoy dressing up as them.

Lana’s comment on furries caused a mixed reaction online, with some people jumping on board to agree with her remark.

Lana del rey speaking out against furries is exactly why we need her as out first woman president

Whilst others in the furry community took to Twitter in disagreement.

Lana Del Rey Comes Out Against Furries And Calls Them ‘Gross’

The hotly anticipated sequel of iconic dramedy The L Word is about to break ground for trans representation.

The new instalment of the Showtime series aired between 2004 and 2008 is reportedly looking to cast two trans men. And for one of the roles, they are specifically on the lookout for an Asian man.

The roles

THE L WORD
IS CASTING
TRANS MEN#TheLWord

— alex schmider (@anderfinn) April 24, 2019

The revival will be shooting in Los Angeles between July and October 2019 and will premiere by the end of the year.

The new episodes will focus on some of the beloved characters from the first six seasons alongside new ones.

Among these new additions to the LA crew of lesbian and bisexual women, there will be two trans men.

Production is casting a trans man aged between 30-50 of any ethnicity.

‘Many years into his transition, he is precise and proper, but not without a sense of humor,’ reads the description of the first character.

The other trans character must be of Asian descent and be in his 30s. They will also need to have an athletic figure and be open to film simulated sex scenes, in the steamy fashion The L Word’s fandom knows quite well.

Candidates can email their pictures and contact info to thelwordcasting@gmail.com by 10 May.

Trans representation in The L Word

The L Word originally featured Moira Sweeney, a trans character played by actress Daniela Sea.

In a relationship with Jenny (Mia Kirschner), Moira comes out as trans and adopts the name of Max.

Fans weren’t happy with the decision to cast a cis woman to play a trans character. But it was 2006 — trans representation has come a long way since then.

How did fans react?

The news of the casting has gained mixed reactions from fans.

Some are understandably excited.

as a transman this is kind of revolutionary. i always felt like i 110% didnt belong anywhere near lesbians bc its so easy for people to see me as one in those spaces when im just a trans dude.

— Leaf COMMISSIONS OPEN (@Leafisall) April 24, 2019

‘as a transman this is kind of revolutionary. i always felt like i 110% didnt belong anywhere near lesbians bc its so easy for people to see me as one in those spaces when im just a trans dude,’ one tweeted.

— Krishna Istha (@MXgenderslayer) April 24, 2019

‘Casting call for trans men for the L Word, your baby queer dreams could come true,’ another wrote.

Others, however, are worried about the way the show will portray trans sex.

I know I should be excited the L Word is casting trans men but I’m definitely more worried about their handling of trans sex instead. They can win back my faith though.

— Cris (@crs_crdns) April 24, 2019

‘I know I should be excited the L Word is casting trans men but I’m definitely more worried about their handling of trans sex instead. They can win back my faith though,’ another tweeted.

Someone pointed out that trans representation is important across the board and that The L Word should include trans women.

maybe they’ve already written a bunch of interesting roles for trans women and just haven’t put out an open casting call bc they already had actors in mind! if so, that’s great! but the l word doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to trans representation

— emily JM (@head_moths) April 24, 2019

‘so uhhhhh are you gonna cast any trans women or are you just focused on the real lesbians, trans men,’ a Twitter user wrote.

they added: ‘casting trans women in the l word is important bc:

-even in queer spaces our transness is often seen as more important to our identity than anything else, so having a group of lesbians that includes trans women would help to challenge that idea

-i want to be in the l word’

They finally wrote: ‘maybe they’ve already written a bunch of interesting roles for trans women and just haven’t put out an open casting call bc they already had actors in mind! if so, that’s great! but the l word doesn’t exactly have the best track record when it comes to trans representation’.

Emma Stone stars in a hilarious skit as a woman who walks in on her boyfriend having sex with her godson.

It comes about as the Academy Award-winning actress hosted Saturday Night Live last night (13 April).

The skit, titled The Actress, follows a young woman ‘trying to make it as an actress’ for years.

‘Then, one day, life came knocking,’ she narrates, as she pulls up to the gay porn set. ‘This time with a challenge.’

Grace, the lead actress of the gay porn film, introduces herself to the nonchalant director.

She then begins crafting a whole backstory for her character’s two lines in the scene, including naming her character Deirdre.

The hilarious scene escalates as she breaks from the script and ad libs with a dramatic monologue.

Emma Stone hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time last night. The show included a guest appearance and performance from Korean boyband BTS.

Emma Stone gets awards nod

The 30-year-old actress also recently starred in Oscar-winning film The Favourite.

The Favourite tells the very queer and very brazen story of two women vying for the favor of England’s Queen Anne.

A slew of films with LGBTI characters, actors, writers, and directors were up for awards at the 91st Academy Awards.

For the first time, more than half of the Best Picture nominations included LGBTI characters or actors.

The Favourite, Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star Is Born, Vice, and Green Book were all up for the award.

What’s more, Queen, fronted by gay popstar Adam Lambert, performed at the Academy Awards.

Emma Stone hilariously stars as woman who walks in on gay porn scene

Bisexuals are continuously exposed to insensitive, stupid questions from both straight and gay people.

For many non-bisexual people, the lines of such a sexual orientation are simply too blurred to be taken seriously.

Whatever implies a similar level of uncertainty – for others, not for bi+ people themselves – is often frowned upon and dismissed as temporary.

What hurts the most is that some of the most biphobic comments and questions come from those who should be on the side of bi people.

Bisexuals shouldn’t provide any explanations for being who they are, let alone to gay and lesbian friends who know the struggles of coming out too well to show no sympathy.

While bisexuals can count on many allies, certain gay and lesbian people seem to think of themselves as gatekeepers. Their sole job is to determine whether someone is ‘gay enough’ to be part of the community.

It all starts with a seemingly innocent question that then leads to another. And that’s when suddenly the conversation turns into the Voight-Kampff test from Blade Runner.

Here are seven things gay people should stop saying to bisexuals because, you know, enough is enough.

1. ‘So, *what* are you?’

An alien sent to Earth to let you know there are other sexual orientations apart from being straight or gay.

2. ‘You swing for both teams, huh?’

Aah, a sports metaphor. That’s a bad start.

There is no such thing as picking a team. Bisexuals don’t pick, rather they sometimes feel like that loser kid who’s never picked for the school team and ends up sitting on the bench for the whole year.

Certain bi people don’t feel either part of the gay community nor completely comfortable among straight people.

This can easily lead to isolation and depression. Bi men and women are, in fact, more likely to have poorer mental health and less likely to come out than gay men and lesbian women.

3. ‘Bisexuals are just greedy’

Whether bi’s get offended by it or laugh it off, this comment will always make them feel as if they were trying to steal partners from straight and gay friends on purpose.

They’re not. They’re honestly just trying to survive, like anyone else.

Don’t try to shame them for dating more than one gender. You’re better than this.

And, please, don’t tell bisexuals they’re ‘luckier’ because they are attracted to both genders.

Let’s flip the narrative here for a second. They are just twice as likely to meet undateable folks as monosexuals — I wouldn’t call that luck.

4. ‘Bi’s can’t be trusted’

The cliché of bisexuals being sexual machines who would do anything behind their partner’s back is a bit unrealistic.

Bisexuality is usually associated with promiscuity. As if being attracted to all genders necessarily means that bi folks pursue several people at the same time.

What’s worse, many believe bisexuals must have multiple partners without their significant other’s consent. Wrong.

Just like straight and gay people, some bisexuals are monogamous, while some are polyamorous. It’s really as simple as that.

Being poly requires a conversation with your partner, otherwise it’s just cheating. And that applies to monosexual people as well.

5. ‘In which phase are you?’

The moon has phases. The menstrual cycle has phases. Bisexuals do not.

They sometimes date people of the same gender, sometimes people of the opposite gender, sometimes non-binary folks. There isn’t a pattern. Deal with it.

6. ‘Just come out as gay/lesbian already!’

Bisexuals do come out, thank you very much.

In fact, if you’re having this conversation, chances are they already came out and you’re failing to acknowledge that.

Urging them to come out as lesbian or gay as that was the only ‘true’ coming out is crass.

7. ‘I’d totally date you if you were fully gay/lesbian’

Hey, you need to inform bi people of the Kinsey scale score they need to have in order to qualify for a date.

On the other hand, this might be just a ‘nice’ way to reject someone. Why don’t you come up with something less biphobic if the prospect of being honest is so unbearable?

Seven things gay and lesbian people should stop telling bisexuals

The city school board of Baltimore, Maryland has sent a clear message: it stands with and protects its transgender students.

Tell me more

On Tuesday, 10 April the Baltimore City Public Schools board of commissioners unanimously voted to pass a policy allowing trans students to use the names, pronouns, and bathrooms aligning with their gender identity.

This decision caused the board room, filled with LGBTI advocates, to burst into a round of applause.

The progressive policy goes beyond Maryland state guidelines, which recommends modifying school forms to allow students to self-identify their preferred names and pronouns, and that teachers ask students privately how they’d like to be addressed in class.

The new policy

Under this new policy passed by the school board, trans and gender nonconforming/non-binary students will be allowed to use the name and pronoun that reflects their gender identity, regardless of if they have legally changed their name.

The policy also extends the definition of ‘sex-based discrimination’ to include discrimination based on ‘gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation and nonconformance to stereotypical notions of masculinity or femininity.’

Additionally, the policy allows students to access the restrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities that align with their gender identity. Plus, it will provide a ‘safe non-stigmatizing alternative’ for students who feel uncomfortable in gender-segregated facilities.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 2% of American high school students identify as transgender. The CDC also notes that over a third of that 2% have attempted suicide in the last year.

Reactions

Alaine Jolicouer is the co-chair of the Baltimore City Commission’s education advocacy committee. She is one of several people who testified in favor of the policy. After it was passed, she called it a ‘symbolic and crucial moment.’

‘I saw the need for this change. And I’m very happy to witness it today. Not just myself but with members of my community,’ Jolicouer told the Baltimore Sun.

Viewers can’t handle how cute the ‘revolutionary’ gay sex scene in new Netflix show Special is.

Netflix released eight episodes of its new show, featuring a young gay man living with cerebral palsy.

The series is based on the memoir I’m Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves (2015) by Ryan O’Connell. He also stars, writes, and executive produces the series.

my show Special is out on Netflix today. go watch it. it feels like a warm, spiky hug.

— Ryan O’Connell (@ryanoconn) April 12, 2019

During episode three, Ryan’s new friend Kim encourages him to enlist the help of a sex worker in having sex for the first time.

Ryan reluctantly agrees.

The encounter starts off super awkwardly, with Ryan kneeing Shea (played by Brian Jordan Alvarez) in the face.

But things take a sweet and sexy turn when they end up having sex.

After they’re done, Shea cuddles Ryan to sleep, as Ryan smiles with a the biggest cheeky grin.

Ryan O’Connell: ‘That sex scene was my baby’

‘Well, that scene was really really important to me,’ O’Connell told Out. ‘That sex scene was my baby.

‘I have been really frustrated about the lack of representation of gay sex in film and TV [and] I don’t understand why anal sex has not been normalized or depicted for what it is.

‘I also wanted to make sure that Ryan losing his virginity was a nice, tender scene and that I was not traumatized.

‘When something is so common in your life and you don’t see it every in TV or film, I get really frustrated. I’m like, “Why is this so groundbreaking? This is something that tons of people experience!” he said.

As soon as the show dropped, viewers began praising the scene for its frank and honest portrayal of sex.

One viewer said: ‘Ep 3 with @brianjoralvarez as a sex worker is a stand out. Sweet and charming.’

Another tweeted: ‘What a beauftiful show. Plus one of the best gay sex scenes I’ve ever seen. Respectful, sweet and so damn bold my jaw dropped.’

Then another wrote: ‘The scene in #SpecialNetflix with @brianjoralvarez sex worker character and @ryanoconn is incredibly sweet, charming and beautiful. We need more stories that navigate the intersection of queer sex with race, class, disability, and gender with kindness and care.’

You can watch all eight episodes of Special on Netflix now.

Viewers praise ‘revolutionary’ gay sex scene in new Netflix show Special

The first images of the new Charlie’s Angels movie have started circulating online, leaving fans of the all-female spy trio in excitement.

The new iteration of the popular franchise stars bisexual actress Kristen Stewart as one of the angels. Her martial art and disguise savvy friends will be portrayed by Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska.

Scott is famous for her role in the Power Rangers movie and in Disney’s upcoming live-action Aladdin, whereas the film will be Balinska’s most important role to date.

The new Angels

Entertainment Weekly has released images of the Angels today (12 April).

Stewart will play Sabina Wilson, the hard-partying, highly skilled wild card. It isn’t clear whether the character itself will be LGBTI.

Scott and Balinska will star as Elena Houghlin and Jane Kano respectively. Houghlin is a MIT-trained scientist who, as Banks puts it, will serve as ‘the heart of the movie’, while Kano is a former MI6 agent.

The unlikely trio’s missions will take them across Europe, from Istanbul to Hamburg, and Berlin.

Nov 15 can’t come soon enough. @EW @CharliesAngels #firstlook https://t.co/fa6SpoUAmI pic.twitter.com/QFe7l1BxAd

— Elizabeth Banks (@ElizabethBanks) April 11, 2019

Elizabeth Banks directs

The new movie will be directed by Elizabeth Banks. Banks, who previously directed Pitch Perfect 2, will also star as Bosley, the link between the angelic trio and their mysterious boss Charlie.

Joining the Angels, a star-studded cast, including Sam Claflin, Noah Centineo, Patrick Stewart, and Djimon Hounsou.

Patrick Stewart and Hounsou will also take the role of Bosley.

‘”Bosley” is now a rank in the organization, like lieutenants,’ Banks explained to EW.

‘All of the Angels have been played by different women and have had different names, but the Bosley character was always named Bosley no matter who played him. We thought, “Well, that must mean it’s more than a name.”‘

The Hunger Games actress also produced the movie and co-wrote the script.

But Stewart isn’t the first LGBTI star to play an Angel

Stewart isn’t the first bisexual actress to play an Angel.

Drew Barrymore, who reportedly dated both genders, portrayed Dylan in the two movies directed by McG, Charlie’s Angels and Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle. Barrymore starred alongside Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.

Charlie’s Angels hits theatres on 15 November 2019.

Here’s your first look at Kristen Stewart in the Charlie’s Angels reboot

Disney released a slew of information about their new streaming platform, Disney+, on Thursday (11 April). The announcements included brand new content, including a spinoff series from the hit movie Love, Simon.

Disney gave a straight-to-series order to Leah and the Offbeat, which is based on Becky Albertalli’s young adult novel of the same name. It’s a sequel to Albertalli’s book Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda, on which Love, Simon was based.

Leah and the Offbeat follows Simon’s childhood best friend, Leah, who used to be in love with him.

Throughout the book, Leah grapples with friends and relationships, going to college, and being in a rock band. She’s also keeping a secret from her friends –she’s bisexual.

Screenwriters Elizabeth Berger and Isaac Aptaker, who penned the movie, are returning to write the series.

They are the only people returning from the movie. The series will have an entirely new cast and the movie’s director, Greg Berlanti, is not involved with the show due to his overall deal with Warner Bros.

Disney recently made their purchase of Fox official. They shuttered Fox 2000, the studio arm of Fox focused on mid-budget films, which produced and distributed Love, Simon. This new series comes from the Disney-owned 20th Century Fox Television studio.

Love, Simon’s legacy

There was a lot of anticipation leading up to Love, Simon — the first same-sex romantic teen comedy from a major film studio.

It wound up making a huge impact, with many people discussing the film’s representation and how important it was for teens to see. It earned a certified 91% on Rotten Tomatoes and earned $40.8 million (€36m, £31.5m) domestically, becoming one the top 15 highest-grossing LGBTI films of the last 15 years.

Numerous celebrities bought out screenings and gave free tickets to LGBTI people.

It also recently won a GLAAD Award for Outstanding Film — Wide Release.

Disney+ starts on 12 November for $6.99/month. The company also announced it will be available in all major worldwide regions over the next two years.
