Although many LGBTQ+ couples enlist the services of sperm banks and even though there exists a shortage of samples from Black men in sperm banks across the country, men who have sex with men continue to be forbidden from donating sperm. TreVaughn Roach-Carter, 26, made that discovery when he received a rejection email a day after contributing to the Sperm Bank of California.The email informed him that since he had indicated that he was gay, and Food and Drug Administration regulations prohibit anonymous sperm donations from men who have had sex with men within the past five years, he could not donate anonymous sperm, the Washington Post reports.“I thought these bans were something that was long gone and over and that I wouldn’t have to worry about it,” Roach-Carter told the paper.He explained that being a donor was essential to him as a gay Black man because he feels that people ought to have the right to have families that look like them. The Post found that Black sperm donors make up less than 2 percent of sperm donors who have donated to the largest cryobanks in the U.S.Roach-Carter also said that it was also important to help LGBTQ+ couples who utilize the services of sperm banks to have children.“I know that when the time comes for me to have children, it will be a lengthy, stressful, and also probably expensive process.

A new study has found that most people who initiate gender-affirming treatment in their youth continue it as adults — undermining the argument by right-wingers that transgender people are likely to regret such treatment and even detransition, and that young people are not ready to make decisions about gender transition procedures, even though they do so in consultation with parents and doctors.The study, from Amsterdam University Medical Center in the Netherlands, looked at 720 people who had been treated with puberty blockers and hormones at the center as adolescents and whether they continued with gender-affirming care.“Most participants who started gender-affirming hormones in adolescence continued this treatment into adulthood,” says a summary of the study, which was published online Thursday by The Lancet. “The continuation of treatment is reassuring considering the worries that people who started treatment in adolescence might discontinue gender-affirming treatment.” “Most,” in this case, was 98 percent.“To our knowledge, this study is the first to assess continuation of gender-affirming hormones in a large group of transgender individuals who started medical treatment with puberty suppression in adolescence,” the report notes.“The key message [of the study] is that the majority of people who went through a thorough diagnostic evaluation prior to starting treatment continued gender-affirming hormones at follow-up,” Dr.

How’s this for a fairy-tale story? Rob Madge built a following on social media by posting hilarious home videos, many of which went viral during the pandemic; Rob reached out to the team at London’s Turbine Theatre to see if they would commission a play based on those videos. The result – My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) – premiered in June 2021 at the Turbine. We went to check it out at the time, describing it as “an uplifting and life-affirming piece of theatre”. Following a successful run at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe, it now returns to London – but its new home is the glittering Garrick Theatre on London’s West End.

A 10-episode series on gay serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer released by Netflix on Sept. 21 captures in chilling detail Dahmer’s 13-year murder spree that took place mostly in Milwaukee between 1978 and 1991 in which 17 young mostly gay men, 11 of whom were Black, lost their lives.

Netflix has taken off an LGBTQ tag for its miniseries Dahmer: Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story amid flak for the classification.The series initially hit the streaming service with the tags 'LGBTQ,' 'ominous,' 'psychological,' 'horror,' 'vintage crime,' and 'dark' upon its debut September 21, with many viewers taking to social media to criticize the streaming service for the inclusion of the LGBTQ classification.One user wrote, 'Hey hi @netflix I IMPLORE you please reconsider having Dahmer with the LGBTQ tag, especially as one of its tags right when you open the app.' The latest: Netflix has taken off an LGBTQ tag for its miniseries Dahmer: Monster – The Jeffrey Dahmer Story amid flak for the classification. Evan Peters is seen in the titular role in the seriesAnother said, 'netflix added the Jeffrey Dahmer series to the LGBTQ+ tag.

Zack Sharf Netflix has removed the LGBTQ tag from its Ryan Murphy-created Jeffrey Dahmer limited series, “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.” The show, starring Evan Peters as the notorious serial killer, launched Sept. 21 on the streaming platform and was categorized under the LGBTQ tag for at least two days. A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Variety the LGBTQ tag was officially removed by Friday, Sept. 23. The decision to categorize “Dahmer” as LGBTQ content ignited controversy on social media, with many subscribers condemning Netflix for the decision (via the Los Angeles Times). The tag is normally used to spotlight shows such as “Heartstopper” and “Sex Education,” both of which include LGBTQ characters and subject matter in a positive light. “Dahmer” technically does feature an LGBTQ character since the serial killer was a gay man, but as one subscriber wrote on TikTok, “This is not the representation we’re looking for.”

Netflix has removed the “LGBTQ” tag from its series about serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer after many online commenters objected.Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story dramatizes the tale of the Milwaukee man who murdered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991. He dismembered many of them and may have cannibalized their body parts.

The new series about one of America’s more notorious serial killers has stoked plenty of criticism.

Netflix has removed an LGBTQ tag from the new limited series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.It's unclear when, exactly, the streaming giant ditched the show's LGBTQ label or why Dahmer received it in the first place. But the real Dahmer long preyed upon the Milwaukee LGBTQ scene, and some critics have accused law enforcement of failing to act because of stigma surrounding victims' sexuality.Dahmer stars Evan Peters as the infamous serial killer who murdered at least 17 men and boys—many of whom were people of color—from 1978 to 1991.

DAHMER- Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story on Netflix, a confoundingly multi-titled miniseries from prolific producer Ryan Murphy about the notorious gay serial killer.While the series’ announcement was met with cries of “Why?” and “Again?,” DAHMER sold itself on doing something different. Rather than trying to find some empathy for the man—which other projects have done before—or, worse, glorify his crimes, the series purported to center on his “underserved victims and their communities,” calling into question the systems that “allowed one of America’s most notorious serial killers to continue his murderous spree in plain sight for over a decade.”But, by most accounts, DAHMER has failed to make a case for its own existence.

Netflix was criticised by fans for putting the new true-crime drama based on Jeffrey Dahmer in its LGBTQ+ section.
