LGBT Documentary, Pakistan’s Transgenders

Flamboyant, colorful and eccentric, many among Pakistan’s marginalized transgender community scrape a living through dancing, singing and begging on the streets of the country’s economic capital, Karachi. Many others, though, earn money catering for the sexual needs of the city’s seedier districts.

Investigating a never-before-seen side of life in Pakistan, this film from Oscar and EMMY award-winning director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy follows the stories of three transgender people, who each represent a different way of life in the country. Maggie is a prostitute who dreams of becoming an air hostess, while Chahat was abandoned by every middle-class family to beg on the streets. Sana is Karachi’s most sought-after transgender dancer, desperate to give up the profession after a particularly gruesome gang rape. Is there any hope for these courageous individuals who want to stand out on their own?

With exclusive access, this cutting-edge film goes behind the scenes of the transgender community to uncover the truth behind Pakistan’s Open Secret.

If The Air Hostesses Were Drag Queens

How boring the airplane safety instructions … But what if they were explained by three fabulous drag queens? 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.

ISIS throw gay teen from rooftop

A 15-year-old-boy has been thrown from a rooftop by ISIS militants

A teenage boy who was found engaging in sexual activity with a senior ISIS officer has been thrown from a Syrian rooftop whilst the ISIS member has been sent to the frontlines in Iraq to fight.

According to Syrian news agency, ARA, the teen was reportedly ‘captured’ in the house of ISIS leader Abu Zaid al-Jazrawi on Thursday.

ISIS militants arrested the teen on charges of homosexuality and he was convicted under Sharia law. Abu Zaid al-Jazrawi was also scheduled to be executed however ISIS officers intervened and sent the former leader to fight on the frontline instead.

The boy was thrown from the top of a building in central Deir ez-Zor, Syria.

The UN suggests that more than 30 people have been executed by ISIS in the past 12 months for being gay.

The executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, Jessica Stern, said Islamic State’s homophobic violence was inspiring widespread homophobic attacks.

“In addition to men perceived as gay, trans-identified people and lesbians are among those who have been raped and killed,” sais Stern.

If Dad Uses Tinder Instead Of Gay Son

What does Tinder have to do with the election? In this Canadian spot to encourage young people to vote (in Canada there are elections on October 19) we see the dad of a gay boy taking possession of his smartphone and his Tinder account and even combining an appointment with his son.

But which is different from what it seemed …

An Ordinary Day In The Life Of Two Gay Dads

What does it mean to be a family? Something very complicated but also very, very simple. This video created by Gays With Kids (an organization that offers support to single-parent couples) takes us into the life of Corey and Rocco, a gay couple from New York and their son Forge.

An ordinary Sunday between baby food, pampering, games in the garden and a visit to the grandparents. The peaceful serenity of a family full of love.

Doesn’t it melt your heart?

Gay Advertising, The Campbell Spot

Adorable: there are no other words to define this spot by Campbell, the famous brand of canned soups in the United States, made for the Star Wars Edition. Two gay dads grappling with the meal time, a scene of daily love (with reference to the film) and the claim “Created for real, real life”.

In the face of those who think that rainbow families are “stuff from another world”!

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.
