This is what happens on the imaginary Priscilla Airlines, at the rhythm of Let’s have a kiki from the Scissor Sisters. The video is the final graduation project from the Bezalel Academy of Art and Design (theme: the branding of an LGBT airline) by the Israeli Elia Chechick. So here is the plane of dreams, where passengers have unicorn-shaped backpacks and where, instead of the oxygen mask, dildos drop on the other. Simply brilliant.

Gay Advertising Video, KOHL’s Christmas Spot

Nothing like American kitsch is able to “normalize” everything. To make the new digestible to the average citizen who can send it down like a sip of Cocacola. We also see it in the marriage proposals, where the spectacularity prevails over the fact that the couple is made up of people of the same sex.
Then take a gay couple, put two beautiful sweaters on them and place it at the Christmas dinner, with the aunt the children and the inevitable dogs. Christmas, for an American, the party that embodies the idealization of the perfect family, all smiles and turkeys in the oven and hideous decorations on the fireplace. Around this east / ethics, American culture has persistently rotated since the 1950s(who does not have a family to spend Christmas with is a failure). Yet in this society, at least in a large part of it, the opening to the “new” is stronger than in Italy where, for some years, we have discovered that there is an alleged “traditional family” opposed to the others. In short, here in the Christmas spot of Kohl – department stores and obligatory stop for Christmas shopping – a gay couple appears, perfectly covered with the golden patina of the aforementioned aesthetic.
In spite of everything, sweet and moving. A sign that, in fact, American kitsch works.

Transgender Girl Receives The First Dose Of Hormones

This video in which Corey, a transgender teenager, is receiving the first dose of female hormones from his mother, Erica Maison, is traveling around the world . A moment that Corey had been waiting for two and a half years. Mom recorded the scene because, as she said, she wanted to capture the happiest moment of her daughter’s life forever. The emotion overwhelms the girl as she realizes that she is about to start the journey in order to finally be herself.

“I would like parents of transgender children to open their hearts and accept their children for who they are, not for the gender they identify with or not.” Erica explained. “Their hearts do not change even if their external appearance changes. No child would like to be teased, injured, or targeted. No child would ever choose to be transgender, they were born 100% like this … We are all different, but at the same time we are all the same.

We all want to be loved and accepted by others, and that’s what every transgender child wants. Being loved and accepted, especially by parents “.

Chinese Treatments To “Heal” Homosexuality

The Chinese Psychiatric Association has de-registered homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses for 15 years, and homosexuality itself is not a crime in China. Still, many clinics still offer treatments to “heal” from this “condition”.

The social and cultural stigma against homosexuals is still strong. For Chinese parents, the most important thing is that their children make them grandparents.
As John, a Chinese LGBT activist in this video, explains to us, for a Chinese person to come out with their parents is the most difficult thing.

The British Channel 4 has made a documentary in which a courageous Chinese LGBT activist has infiltrated one of the clinics that promise, with shock treatments, to “heal” homosexuality. The treatments people are subjected to in this clinic are horrifying and are IN fact dangerous. For example, there are various forms of electroshock – performed on different parts of the body – which should, in theory, make the patient associate a negative stimulus with the sexual impulse towards people of the same sex.

We can see the result in this trailer.
