Germany's Foreign Office is issuing warnings to transgender and nonbinary citizens traveling to the United States.
The warning is due to a recent executive order from President Donald Trump declaring that only passports with male or female gender markers will be accepted as valid. The order erases transgender identity from law, refusing to acknowledge a person's gender identity if it differs from their assigned sex at birth.
Under Trump's order, the U.S. will only recognize two sexes: male and female, based on biological characteristics at birth as a matter of policy. It declares that gender cannot be changed through medical interventions.
Andy Lee, a straight porn performer who also caters to a gay audience, has opened what he refers to as a "porn star university" in the United Kingdom for those wishing to capitalize on the gay male porn-viewing audience.
The Irish-born Lee, known for amateur-style content that he films with his real-life straight friends, will teach aspiring adult performers how to market themselves, find their niche, and shoot better content. The university is open to both gay and straight men.
Lee's university was profiled in a new mini-documentary from All Out podcast host Jon Dean, who traveled to Cambridgeshire to speak with some of Lee's protégées.
Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo has been announced as a headliner of the WorldPride 2025 Street Festival and Concert.
Erivo, a three-time Oscar nominee who portrayed Elphaba in 2024's blockbuster movie Wicked, and who will reprise the role later this year in Wicked Part 2, frequently uses her platform to uplift diverse voices, champion inclusivity, and promote equity and greater LGBTQ representation and visibility.
Last fall, she was honored at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner, where she was presented with the organization's National Equality Award.
