Restrictions on gay-themed content at YouTube gets a second look

Posted on March 23, 2017 | 2 comments

Earlier this week The Associated Press reported that YouTube was reversing some restrictions on LGBTQ content based on ongoing criticisms leveled at the company.  The video titled “Her Vows” was cited as an example. The video contains no nudity, violence or swearing, but YouTube deemed it unsuitable for people under 18. For many LGBTQ readers, this will not come as a surprise.

I have many friends who have had issues with Facebook in the past for posting innocuous photos of themselves. I do understand that in many cases this is more an issue with the imperfections of artificial intelligence, that companies use to manage content. And YouTube seemed to echo that in their statement, saying LGBTQ videos aren’t automatically filtered out, “some videos that cover subjects like health, politics and sexuality may not appear for users and institutions that choose to use this feature.” In the case of LGBT topics, which are by definition intertwined with health, politics and sexuality, filtering out what is and isn’t appropriate can be difficult.

Below U.K.-based YouTube creator Rowan Ellis video criticizes these restrictions, which ironically was initially also restricted, though YouTube has since reclassified that video.

LGBT group denied to march in Boston St. Patrick’s Day parade

Posted on March 8, 2017 | 5 comments

gay boston, lgbt rightsIn case you missed it, today’s Boston Globe is reporting something I read on Facebook last night, but didn’t believe (this is the age of fake news after all).

It appears that the Gay veterans group (OUTVETS), which has marched in the two previous St. Patrick’s Day parades in Boston is saying it was denied spot in South Boston parade later this month.

OUTVETS posted a statement on its Facebook page late Tuesday. Ed Flynn, a South Boston resident and a member of the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council — the parade’s organizer — confirmed that the group did not receive approval to participate in the March 19th parade.

Thus far neither Mayor Walsh nor Governor Baker have commented and the organizers of the parade which voted 9-4 against allowing the veterans group to march in the parade had not returned emails by the time the article published.

Follow the OUTVETS facebook page for updates.

You can read the full Boston Globe article here.

Men will be men: Public sex from the Tuileries to the Fenway

Posted on March 7, 2017 | 1 comment

homoeroticLater this month The History Project’s Out in Public lecture series will host its first event when they discuss the uniquely gay phenomenon  (and somewhat taboo subject) of “cruising”. How did this evolve over time and what can we learn about the men who turned to the public parks of Paris three centuries ago?

This lecture by Stephen Shapiro of Bennington College and Marvin Kabakoff of The History Project will share some of their stories and provide an informative and engaging presentation on the evolution of men’s subterranean sexual activity. Click here to learn more about the Boston-based The History Project.

Tuileries, Paris, 18th Century

When: Tuesday, March 28th at 6:30PM
Where: Fenway Health – 1340 Boylston Street (10th Floor), Boston

While the event is free and open to the public, seating is limited so reservations are strongly recommended. Reserve your tickets here.

P.S.A. on access to bathrooms for trans people

Posted on February 28, 2017 | Leave a comment

LGBTQ, Trans Community, gay BostonTake a moment to watch this P.S.A. regarding laws in some states that look to restrict bathroom access to the Trans population.

The video opens with this very valid point, “Every year, some fool tries to trick people into thinking this is an issue,” activists said in the video. “And somehow thinks the way to protect privacy and bathrooms is by policing them? The biggest irony is that their solution will create the very thing they’re trying to stop.”

However my favorite point shared is “more U.S. Senators have been arrested for public misconduct in bathrooms than trans people.”

#HoldTight campaign

Posted on February 26, 2017 | Leave a comment
When you feel like letting go… #HoldTight.

 

A new advertisement campaign from Australian bank ANZ is urging LGBT couples to hold hands during difficult times with its #HoldTight campaign.

Ever since the U.S. Presidential election in November hate crimes have risen. According to The Southern Poverty Law Center an astounding 867 cases of hateful harassment or intimidation in the United States were reported in the 10 days following the November 8 election. While many of these cases are directed at minorities and foreigners, the LGBT community has been targeted as well, making ANZ’s message relevant here in the U.S. Be safe and #HoldTight.
