RE: An interesting take on LGBT folks in Hinduism
There is a rather esoteric bit buried in, which lists 12 (or maybe it was 15) types of "men who are not men", including "men who have vaginas", "men who use their mouths as vaginas", "men who use their ass as vaginas" etc.
It is tough to say whether it's homophobic or whether it embraces homosexuality, since it does not advocate hatred for said categories, and maybe legitimises them by acknowledgement. It could also be interpreted as saying that these are not "real men," and is perhaps meant to deprive them of patriarchal authority.Hinduism has been trans- friendly, with gods/deities taking transgender forms, incarnating in opposite genders, lusting said opposite-gendered incarnation etc. Trans communities have traditionally been acknowledged, respected, and given space in society.
Unfortunately, some very popular religious figures are now marketing their yoga retreats as un-gaying centres. They get away with classifying homosexuality as a disease because it is not directly mentioned at all in scripture. And Hinduism is generally used as a tool for oppression by politicians today, who interpret it to cater to their political ends.
How does Hinduism feel about crossdressers or effeminate men?

Georgia passes bill making it legal to ban gays & lesbians from adopting
The Georgia state senate has passed a bill that would allow adoption agencies to refuse to place children with same-sex couples based on their religious beliefs. The bill would also prohibit the Georgia Department of Human Services from taking “adverse action” against such agencies.
The bill passed 35-19 and will now head to the House for consideration.
Senate Bill 375, called the “Keep Faith in Adoption and Foster Care Act,” was introduced earlier this month by state Sen. William Ligon (R-Brunswick), who added similar language to an adoption overhaul at the end of last year’s legislative session, causing the bill to stall.
A Senate Judiciary sub-committee met on Feb. 8 to take up the bill, moving to send it on to the full committee, which passed the bill on Feb. 20.

RE: Anti-Gay Politicians and Suicides Of LGBT People (via BuzzFeed)
I am surprised this had never been part of the public discourse of LGBT rights and discrimination: Politicians’ anti-gay policies and homophobic speech can play a role in the suicides of LGBT people, according to one of the world’s leading psychiatrists.

This is so disheartening.

Troye Sivan recalls his most awkward Grindr experience
Here’s something that might make you feel better: Not even Troye Sivan is immune to the occasional date from hell.
In a candid new interview with PopCrush, 22-year-old Troye, who is currently nominated for favorite musician in the 2018 Queerties, recalls a particularly awkward date he went on a few years back.
He and the guy were hanging out when all of a sudden the dude whipped out his cellphone then started browsing guys on Grindr.
“It was a while ago,” Troye remembers. “I was like, ‘OK. I think I’m just gonna go home.’”
Dating, Troye says, was a lot “scarier” back then. Now that he’s a budding superstar, however, the game has gotten a little easier.
But don’t get to excited, fellas, because he’s currently dating model Jacob Bixenman, and they’re totally in love.
“I am definitely a serial monogamist,” Troye says. “I don’t really know. I’ve only ever had a couple of relationships, but they’ve been one after the other.”
Here are some other highlights from the interview…
