Theatre and musical icon Kristin Chenoweth has revealed how she knew one of her ex-boyfriends was gay – because he recognised that her shoes were Louboutins.
“You know, I love my gays. I just don’t want to marry one. That’s all.”
To dump someone and then have them become your best friend, all because he recognised the infamous red-bottoms; now that is iconic.
LGBTQ+ People and COVID-19
LGBTQ+ people experience health disparities. Barriers to care cause us to be less likely to get medical care; and mean we're more likely to have compromised health in general. Health disparities magnify the impact COVID-19 could have on us.
These are among factors that can increase our risk:
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness, and LGBTQ+ people smoke tobacco at much higher rates than our heterosexual cisgender peers.
LGBTQ+ people experience higher rates of HIV and of cancer. This means more of us may have weakened immune systems that can make us more vulnerable to COVID-19.
LGBTQ+ people regularly experience discrimination and lack of cultural competence when seeking health care. As a result, many avoid or delay seeking health care even in emergency situations.
Our amazing and diverse community also includes over 3 million LGBTQ+ elders here in the US alone. Our LGBTQ+ elders are less likely than other older folks to use health and wellness services like meal programs and senior centers due to anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination and harassment. Since this virus affects older people more severely, this a serious issue for our community.
LeDuc is no stranger to firsts. In 2019, they were heralded the first out gay athlete to win a US pairs title with their skating partner, Ashley Cain-Gribble.
They have since come out as non-binary, and are preparing to compete in the US figure skating championships in the hopes of locking down spots on Team USA for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
If successful, they will be the first out non-binary person to take part in the Winter Olympics.
HOMOSEXUALIDAD EN LA INDIA
La influencia occidental llevó a muchos indios a avergonzarse de una práctica que los colonizadores vilificaban y encontraban repugnante y, como ha sucedido en otros muchos lugares, los movimientos anticoloniales y el exceso de celo de muchos nacionalistas, que llegaron a interiorizar totalmente los valores de los dominadores, empezando por el mismo Mahatma Gandhi (que desconfiaba profundamente de toda sexualidad), dieron a la homosexualidad la calificación de "vicio occidental", lo que ha llevado a una destrucción sistemática de los muchísimos ejemplos de prácticas homosexuales esculpidos en los templos o a la "heterosexualización" de algunas figuras, lo que da a los mismos indios una visión bastante sesgada de su pasado.
