On Tuesday 20 June, the Estonian Parliament reached a historic decision to legalise same-sex marriage by adopting amendments to the Family Law Act. The new law, tabled by the coalition government led by Prime Minister Kaja Kallas of ALDE Party member Reformierakond, was adopted with a majority of 55 votes in favour. As of 1 January 2024, any two consenting adults in Estonia will be able to marry, irrespective of sex. The law proposes cohabitation agreements as an alternative to marriage, establishing a simplified procedure for the transition from a cohabitation agreement to marriage and including necessary legal provisions for the implementation of the Cohabitation Act.

Sport as a social space is notoriously harsh and uninviting towards the queer community. Gender and heteronormativity, particularly in male-dominated sports, is the backbone upon which many of these cultures are built. ‘To be open, out, and proud is how we pave the way for a new generation of tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion,’ sport climber Campbell Harrison says.

Alex Newell won Best Featured Actor in a Musical and J. Harrison Ghee Best Lead Actor. `Newell’s and Ghee’s nominations alone made history for nonbinary performers. They chose to be nominated in the male category, but some other nonbinary actors have withdrawn from competition because of the gendered categories. & Juliet‘s Justin David Sullivan did so this season, and Asia Kate Dillon made the same decision after appearing in Macbeth last season.`

Garth Brooks’ new Nashville bar and honky-tonk Friends in Low Places is opening this summer — and the country star is sharing that everyone is welcome… except assholes. “I want it to be a place you feel safe in. I want it to be a place where you feel like there are manners and people like one another,” Brooks said about his new business. “And yes, we’re going to serve every brand of beer. We just are. It’s not our decision to make. Our thing is this: if you [are let] into this house, love one another. If you’re an asshole, there are plenty of other places on lower Broadway.”

Remembering Anita Cornwell, the fearless pioneer who shattered barriers as a Black lesbian writer, activist, and feminist. Her legacy lives on in her groundbreaking work.
Veronica Esposito on Samin Nosrat and What Cooking Taught Her About Transitioning. I was celebrating my first birthday as a woman. In my hands was a heavy, rectangular object gift-wrapped in festive red paper and decorated with a big bow. It was from my partner, whose loving blue eyes watched me from across the room. As I sat in a comfy armchair in an Airbnb tucked into the Northern California wilderness, I could see the cool, misty morning air, the overcast sky showing hints of the emerging fall weather.

Well it’s Pride Month and you know what that means: people making television and cinema for the LGBTQ+ community! Honestly I had expected them to make more television and cinema for the LGBTQ+ community than they apparently intend to do this specific June, but that is fine and we will model through it. Okay, let’s get into what’s out there with lesbian, bisexual, queer and trans characters on your teevee sets.
