Some conservative assholes sent threats about attacking the participants so it's cancelled.

LGBTQ Women Don't Feel Comfortable at Pride, Study Says

According to a survey conducted by the social networking and dating app for LGBTQ womenHer, many women do not feel welcome at, or plan to attend, their local Pride events.

According to their findings, 31 percent of the LGBTQ women surveyed said they didn't feel comfortable or welcomed at Pride.

Galiza thinks the problem may be the male-centrism at any LGBTQ event, whether Pride or otherwise, that isn't "focused for queer women only," she said. "I think it's a cycle where women will go to these events, not see many women there, and not go back a second time."

But while Her's study suggests that Pride is failing to attract a large number of LGBTQ women, 89 percent of respondents believe it is an important event nonetheless.

"There's no doubt the LGBTQ community can achieve much more if we're together," she continued. "We should also be aiming for equality within ourselves."

I clicked to see if they broke it down to subgroups.
According to their findings, 31 percent of the LGBTQ women surveyed said they didn't feel comfortable or welcomed at Pride. And the numbers get much worse once the researchers broke down that acronym: Forty-three percent of bisexual women, and the majority (53 percent) of self-identified queer women reported that they don't feel comfortable or welcomed at Pride.

Results were as expected. But they didn't break it down further.

I would also want to see how many men don't feel comfortable at pride to get the baseline.

Turkish police break up gay pride protest in Istanbul

Turkish police have thwarted an attempt by gay pride activists to hold a parade in Istanbul in defiance of an official ban from the local authorities.

Police fired rubber bullets at a group of around 40 activists in the country’s largest city, an AFP journalist reported, a day after the city governor’s office banned the march citing safety and public order concerns.

Small groups gathered at Taksim Square but witnesses said a heavy police presence outnumbered the activists, and at least four people were detained.

It is the third successive year that the march has been banned, and organisers denounced the move.

“We are not scared, we are here, we will not change,” the Pride committee said in a statement on Sunday. “You are scared, you will change and you will get used to it.

“We are here again to show that we will fight in a determined fashion for our pride.”

In one of the biggest LGBT events in the mainly Muslim region, the 2014 Gay Pride parade in Istanbul drew tens of thousands of people.

Last year, with the city on the edge after bombings blamed on Islamic State and Kurdish militants, organisers were denied permission to march.

Very disappointing to see Turkey heading in the wrong direction, especially after the brighter news from Ukraine.

Also on a semi-related note, this photo could be a behind the scenes look from a damn porno. (I think it is the guy to the far-right and his pose, or the suggestive cradling of the rifle that nails the look)

Now I kind of want a Turkish police sub genre of porn, sort of how like Mormon porn became a thing after the church and their involvement with prop 8.

[tw: depression; suicidal thoughts]

I feel like shit. So, okay, I have depression since I was 15 (7 years ago), and it is getting worse recently. Meds aren't working? I don't know. Everyday is a struggle, I'm feeling uglier by the day, I destroyed my relationship with a man that I love because I feel empty inside and continuing with him would be the wrong thing to do. Now I'm alone, constantly thinking about suicide and I can't get myself to seek help or talk to my friends because I love them so hard and they already have their problems. I don't want to get them to be worried about me. They deserve better. I don't know what to do anymore. I have tried so much, guys. I just feel like there is nowhere else to look for.

This is a temporary thing that comes and goes with depression. You need to keep yourself busy and work on different things to keep your mind from thinking that stuff. Also remember that suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary issue that comes and goes. You are probably not ugly but the negativity in your mind doesnt let you see the good things you have visually and personality wise.

If you want to talk more about it, vent or just chat about different things feel free to send me a pm since Im online for most part of the day.

First off, I am incredibly sorry you are dealing with depression. It's a dark and dangerous thing. My mother suffers from it, and its heart breaking, soul crushing, and it truly hurts watching the one you love dearly go through this horrific battle. Shes actually dealing with it as I type this.

I am actually about to start training as a counselor who will help assist people needing help with suicide, and various other issues they are having in life.

Friends will help you regardless if they have things going on in their life. The thing is, when you are sad, alone, and you are in danger of harming yourself, you should seek help within someone you trust or you can call the suicide hotline. These friends may have stuff going on, but maybe it's not as much as you think or as serious. I know the mindset of someone dealing with depression, and you are hitting literally everything on the head with it. Friends will help, a true friend will shut everything down and be there to listen, to lend support, or get you the help you truly need.

Did you ever think you deserved better? Did you ever think there are people ready and waiting to help pick you up, dust you off, and help you get through this? You deserve the best, and if you don't want to talk to friends, then talk to me. I will even PM you my cell number, my email address, facebook, or instagram URL and I will gladly talk to you, and I will do whatever I can to help you through this.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It sounds as your meds possibly need upped if they are not performing the way they should, or perhaps you need a different type of medication. There is nothing ashamed of that, as its incredible the break throughs science has had with medications and such.

You are loved, and you would be a massive loss to those in your world. Please, if you need to talk, contact the suicide hotline (https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/) they offer text as well as calling, or you can even inbox me and I will give you my information so you can reach out to me. I don't care if its 2 or 3am.. I will be there for you if you need it.

You can, and will get through this. It's just a bad few days, its not going to last forever. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and lastly, there is always hope. <3

WonderzL, hang on.

I can't even imagine what it feels right now, but don't give up. If you feel the meds aren't working, then contact your therapist ASAP, because it's quite possible they need to be adjusted/changed. Until then talk to anyone who'll listen, and there's a lot of us here who'll gladly do that. This community is here for you.

We have lost a member already (Pamplemousse) and I hope it never happens again... :(

I haven't been too terribly active in this thread as of late but I suffer from depression as well. I've never been on medication but it's more due to not seeking the right treatment. Regardless, I know exactly what you're going through. Many of the posters who have offered an ear (or a keyboard) are probably much better people to talk to than I, but I would still be more than happy to talk in any form if you ever need to.

I think you have so much to offer to everyone else and you are very young still. You are also very much appreciated and loved by everyone around you, and just think of the difference in the lives you've made of your students. That's a lot and something very positive in your life that you should think about because you never know how much impact your work has had in the lives of others. Especially when you wrote this:

Dear GayGAF, how do you deal with sexual boredom in a long-term relationship? And opening up the relationship is not an acceptable answer for me. &#128540;

I mean I haven't quite reached that point yet but I feel that this is where things are heading slowly.

So I just found out someone is using my facepics on Grinder. Why do people even do this? You're eventually gonna meet whoever your'e catfishing, and then what? Demand they wear blindfolds while you hook up?

Yea, already reported. I can only imagine how they were acting under my guise. Dating/meeting guys in any form is already tricky enough without stunts like these happening. Maybe I'll take a bit of a break to reset from something like this.
