The Big 4 Festival

Lesbian events in general are hard to find these days, let alone whole festivals. Don’t worry, though, because we have you covered. Go through our list of the best lesbian festivals in the world and pick your next vacation spot.

You heard that right — Lesbian festivals!

We can all agree that festivals are among the most magical places in the world. What beats dancing, good music, dressing the way you want, and feeling free? Not much, in our humble opinion. You’d think that those festivals allow you to be yourself fully, no matter your sexual orientation. Sadly, that isn’t always the case. 

Let us introduce you to lesbian festivals! Not many people have heard of them, but they are like regular festivals on a whole different level. Of course, only certain people are allowed to come to these festivals, but at least they’ll feel free to be who …

Rave parties have been around for quite a while. And as the decades went on, fashion changed for each generation. Here, we will take a closer look at the rave culture, fashion, and the idea behind each important period for the rave culture.

You don’t go to a rave party in your usual party clothes

When people think of rave parties, they believe it’s something new that has to do with DJs, electronic music, and bright colors. But, the truth is a bit different. It turns out that raves originated in the fifties. It was a term used to describe wild bohemian parties happening in the beatnik set in Soho, London. 

The first King of Rave was a jazz musician by the name of Mick Mulligan, and the tradition continued in the following decades. During the ‘60s, “rave” started to mean a party in general. Rave went on to refer …

Many think of music festivals as lairs of all things dangerous — alcohol, drugs, unsafe sex, etc. But that doesn’t always need to be the case. There are some safety measures you can take to ensure you have the best experience possible. 

Luckily, we’ve compiled a list of things you need to keep in mind when going to one of these events. Don’t worry — you’ll be as safe as you can possibly be!

Stay Cool and Hydrated

When going to a festival, not a lot of people think about hydrating themselves. All they think about is drinking alcohol, doing drugs, and partying hard. That’s perfectly fine too, but taking care of yourself in a correct way should be imperative. 

It’s unlikely that you’ll find people sharing free water bottles at festivals. That’s why it’s best to bring your own and bring as much as you can. Drinking lots of …

Why is queer nightlife important? How has the LGTBQ community suffered from a lack of it during the coronavirus crisis? Can queer nightlife survive the pandemic?

Join us for this breakdown of the importance of queer nightlife! Let’s see if it can still stay strong during COVID-19!

Nightlife Is Essential

Everyone has felt the impact of the pandemic on their social lives. We are constantly struggling to find new ways of sharing our time with someone, even if countless venues, bars, and clubs have closed down. However, queer life is even more difficult as a consequence of the pandemic.

For LGBTQ people, the nightlife is a major part of queer life. It’s actually one of the only ones that bring together LGTBQ people in their own communities. It provides great opportunities for finding love connections and friends. What’s more, it allows gay people to feel free and express themselves in …

Nothing is the same anymore, and neither is partying. Still, that doesn’t mean we cannot party at all. Drive-in raves are a thing now, just like drive-in movie theaters are. You shouldn’t dismiss them until you try them, so let’s talk more about why they’re great.

Drive-in raves

People really do have to get creative with parties nowadays. Ever since the pandemic started, people began feeling lovely and isolated. It’s only natural since we can’t see each other the same way we used to. That also means that we cannot go to parties. Partying is a big part of some people’s lives, so we understand the need to want to break the rules. Sadly, that isn’t something you should be doing right now for everyone’s safety. 

Thankfully, some creative people came up with the idea of drive-in raves and parties. What does that mean? It works the same way a …

Is attending LGBTQ parties, protests, and other events an effective way to take action? Should straight people attend LGBTQ parties? Our article will tackle these questions and reveal the best ways in which you could help as an ally.

The Struggles of the LGBTQ Community Over the Years

When it comes to the LGBTQ community, the past decade was certainly not easy. In 2015, the Supreme Court expressed its support for same-sex marriage. However, the optimism of this decision was forgotten quickly. The tragic shooting at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando resonated across the US and the world. Then, after six months, Trump came into power. This further swayed the overall tone from optimism to disappointment and protest.

It’s worth noting that Pride is a movement that was …

Virtual Drag Queen Performance

Fortunately, we’ve prepared this guide to make your first time comfortable and much more pleasurable. So take a look at our lesbian sex tips for first-timers below!

Use Your Intuition

We learn through intuition and experience most of the things we know about sex. However, it could be challenging to imagine your first-time lesbian experience.

Sex is still presented to us via imagery and information that emphasize male desire. You’ve probably even noticed that a large chunk of lesbian porn has straight men as the intended audience. While you can still learn some tricks from watching porn, remember that most of it isn’t realistic.

So how can you use your instincts if it’s your first time? The good …

What do you think of when you hear the term safe sex? Most people picture a condom. Some assume that the only way to really be safe is to abstain from sex completely. And while using condom or abstaining from sex are good ways to avoid sexually transmitted infections, there are a few more things gay teens need to know about safe sex.

01
What is the Difference Between Safe Sex & Safer Sex?

Safer sex refers to things we do to lower the chances of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STD or STI) during sex. Most health professionals don’t use the term “safe sex” because, aside from not having sex, nothing will provide 100% protection from infections.

02
Should You Use a Condom for Oral Sex?

Oral sex is considered a lower risk activity for STDs than are anal and vaginal sex. Even so, it is still possible …

From the “Rosa Parks of the LGBT movement” to a Cameroonian lawyer, you should know these heroes.
It’s LGBTQ Pride Month — a time to celebrate love, but also to champion equality and LGBTQ rights.

Throughout June, cities around the world have been hosting marches in honor of LGBTQ pride. In many countries today, people are free to join these marches, marry whomever they choose, and openly show their love. But that’s still not the case for LGBTQ communities in every country, and even in countries where it is safe to march, there is still a long way to go before true equality is achieved.

Without these incredible activists, the LGBTQ rights movement would not be where it is today.

In honor of Pride Month, Global Citizen is celebrating the brave activists fighting for LGBTQ rights in places where it can be dangerous to do so, and the inspiring champions …

There is at the present time no binding international law that protects lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals based on their sexual orientation or gender identity, nor are there any key organs or agencies of the United Nations that are specifically committed to their protection. While the success of marriage equality campaigns in North America, Europe and elsewhere might be seen as an indication that further advances in LGBTQ rights and protections are inevitable, that a tipping point has been reached on LGBTQ equality, and that we are witnessing the rapid expansion of these rights throughout the world, empirical evidence of state-sponsored homophobia does not support these claims. There is a large divide between the rights and protections enjoyed by Western LGBTQ individuals and those who live in the Global South. Being LGBTQ is punishable under law in more than 75 countries; another eight allow the death …

LGBTQ is the short form of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. These words are used to define a person’s gender identity and sexuality. The proper description is given below:

Insight into the daily challenges facing lesbian, gay, bixexual and transgender college students.

Learning to be yourself and dealing with other people’s perception of you can be hard for anyone. This process can be especially stressful or tough for students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). In fact, they can face unique issues when it comes to mental health. The discrimination LGBT students may face or the pressure they feel from their family or community, can put them at greater risk for emotional health struggles like depression, anxiety, substance abuse and even suicide.

If you or someone you know is struggling with issues related to sexuality or pressures of not being accepted by family, friends or community, it’s important to speak up. By developing strong coping skills, creating a positive social network, and seeking help if needed, LGBT students can protect their emotional health during college and beyond.…

The world is showing greater acceptance to the LGBTQ community and recognizing the need for equal rights in all possible sphere. But it is still too far away from the ultimate goal of ‘life of pride’. This change in a social response in happening, although at a very slow pace, only because of assertiveness of the community who are asking fair questions and highlighting challenges, biases, prejudice, trans & homophobias through events mainly the music festivals.

It is a fact that mental and sexual orientation makes people from the LGBTQ community more creative and innovative. This sense of dynamism, freedom, colorfulness, and struggle gives them the unique power to express through music. The world has witnessed rise in the LGBTQ community music festivals and the trend is likely to continue as they need to make their presence felt. The unfortunate reality of the contemporary world is that homosexuality is still …

Apart from the understanding about physical, psychological and behavioral the community needs support for legal and social lights at national, state and local levels.

The challenge is in making people aware of issues and challenges that the community faces and how a little bit of support could help in making everyone feel great.
