Queer Sex

Coming out of the closet is courageous and empowering. It is an act of freedom and pride. But why does sexual orientation even matter? Why do straight people never come out? And what are we doing in closets?

For a long time, nature has been erroneously used to assert the purported “unnaturalness” of homo-, trans- and intersexuality. Basic facts have been downplayed and ignored due to the misinterpretation of evolutionary theory, perpetuated within the confines of a self-constructed heteronormative worldview.

Days are getting longer, the weather warmer, summer is officially just around the corner… June is well and truly here! Whether you are part of the LGBTQIA+ community or a prized ally, you are probably aware that the month of June is none other than Pride Month and with it, Pride parade season has begun! Festivities aside, Pride Month is the perfect occasion to delve deeper into Queer culture.

Asexuality does not mean having no sexuality at all. It is often assumed that if you are asexual, then you are likely to be repulsed by sex. Sure, there are asexual people who are repulsed by anything sexual, but there are those who are quite the opposite.

Gender identity is a colourful spectrum that begins in the brain, not in our pants. We look at ways to define our own authentic gender identity.

Neen Sever shares their personal experience about gender identity and gives a deep insight into their journey to self-love.

Times change and our preferences for our relationships change with them! Alternative relationship concepts aren’t new, but they are now more relevant than ever before.

Bisexuality is the B from LGBTQIA+. For Bisexuality awareness week we will draw attention to the struggles of the bi+ community, while also celebrating them and their resilience. Trigger warning: biphobia.
