Hype for the Future 16A: The Countercultural Movements of America
The most notable and interesting countercultural movements in the United States of America are largely identified by LGBTQIA+ culture and heritage traits. While LGBTQIA+ have existed long before such identities have become normalized in society, the historical shunning and taboos continue to linger into the modern day in the vast majority of spaces within the nation. novaTopFlex aspires to network with countercultural hubs, including hubs of movements outside the LGBTQIA+ and intersecting […] -

Honey Don’t! another Ethan Coen lesbian B-movie
Honey Don't! is the second film in a trilogy from director Ethan Coen and co-writer Tricia Cooke. They are calling the films in their trilogy lesbian B-movies, but I think they should be calling them "lezsploitation." […]https://oldaintdead.com/honey-dont-another-ethan-coen-lesbian-b-movie/

Nothing is a broad term
If nothing can separate us from the love of God, as it says in Romans 8:38, then the list of “Things That Can Stop Him Loving You” is an empty list. Thus, being LGBTQ+ or any other marginalised flavour of person is not on the list of nothing, as it is an empty list. Therefore, God loves the entire LGBTQ+ community without exception.
I apologise for any Christians who have said otherwise.

Four films, indies, and genre work
Nothing new or extra good has crossed my path this past week. Instead I’ve been roaming among the indies and smaller films looking for something to watch. I didn’t find anything great, but I watched several fair to middlin’ things that I’ll give a short review about.

[podcast] Pride e altro
Internazionale – Pride – La storia del Pride in otto puntate. Di Claudio Rossi Marcelli.
La storia dell’umanità è costellata di lotte per i diritti e, anche se non sempre in modo lineare, tende a procedere in una lenta conquista di nuove libertà. In questo percorso però ci sono dei momenti cruciali di rottura, di rivoluzione, in cui la battaglia sembra compiere improvvisamente un salto in avanti.
Choramedia – Prima – Di Sara Poma.
Prima è il viaggio di Sara Poma attraverso la vita di Maria Silvia Spolato, la sua militanza e la sua sparizione, la scelta o la condanna all’oblio, a seconda dei punti di vista. Un viaggio che parte da una domanda personale: come sarebbe stata la vita dell’autrice se non ci fosse stato il coraggio di Maria Silvia e di tutte quelle e quelli venuti prima

The 21 Day Boyfriend Audiobook
The 21-Day Boyfriend
A.S. Kelly
Publication date: May 21 2025 (Audiobook)
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, LGBTQ+, RomanceEric O’Shea needs to make a decision. The annual event his family forces him to attend is just around the corner, and he doesn’t have a date.
Eric never needs help when it comes to finding men. But this time is different – his ex and his new boyfriend will be there, and Eric can’t just bring along one of his usual flings.
His only hope seems to be him: the best friend of his best friend, who he never wanted to meet.
Sean Quinn is a calm, collected, and cultured man; someone who would rather stay at home and read a book than waste his time chasing a date with no future.
Sean isn’t in a rush to find the perfect man, and he certainly doesn’t intend to go out with Eric: his best friend’s other best friend, who he’s avoided meeting for years.
But Sean has a flaw: he can’t say no to anyone, especially not when it comes to his friend Jake, who has a habit of worming his way into other people’s lives.
But it’s just one date, after all: pure fiction. It’s a shame, then, that when Eric needs Sean for another favour, he can’t turn his back. It’s a shame that just when Sean is beginning to understand that Eric isn’t what he seems, he can’t seem to stop before he gets hurt.
Twenty-one days: that’s the agreement.
Twenty-one days of grazing hands, furtive glances, and unexpected kisses.
Twenty-one days where anything goes; except falling in love.Goodreads / Amazon / Audible / Apple / Kobo / Google Play

Ferocious Designs appears on new ‘Rock Against Hate’ compilations benefiting LGBTQ+ causes
Artwork for Rock Against Hate, volumes 7 and 8 (BlowUpRadio.com)Ferocious Designs, the music project of Central New Jersey-based songwriter Brian Kelley, has contributed two tracks to the latest releases in BlowUpRadio.com‘s Rock Against Hate music compilation series. Rock Against Hate, volumes 7 and 8, will be available starting Friday, June 6, and all proceeds will benefit The Trevor Project and No More Dysphoria, respectively.
These latest releases will coincide with BlowUpRadio.com’s Rock Against Hate “Pride Month” Special, featuring live performances and selections from the compilations, starting at 9 a.m. EDT on Friday, June 6. The special will repeat every six hours through that weekend (June 6-8).
For more information, and to donate and listen, visit RockAgainstHate.org.
Also appearing on Rock Against Hate, Volume 7, is the late LGBTQ+ trailblazer and icon, Jill Sobule, who contributed a live version of her song “America Back” shortly before her untimely passing on May 1.
“It is a profound and bittersweet honor to appear on Rock Against Hate, Volume 7, alongside Jill Sobule,” said Kelley. “Jill performed at a very small venue less than 20 minutes from me in Central New Jersey in early April, and my wife and I nearly bought tickets to see her before realizing we couldn’t make it that night.
“I am a big fan of Jill’s work and her advocacy, and I’m proud to be taking part in a project she also supported,” added Kelley.
Kelley contributed a stripped-down version of his song “Peace of Mind,” featuring longtime friend and collaborator Christian Beach on acoustic guitar, for Rock Against Hate, Volume 7, benefiting The Trevor Project. The song, in its original form, appears on the 2023 album, Looking for the Light.
For Rock Against Hate, Volume 8, benefiting No More Dysphoria, Kelley submitted a “techno demo” of “It’s All Around You,” a song that appears in a more guitar-driven, power-pop format on his recently released EP, Off You Pop!
“We are seeing so many attacks on the LGBTQ+ community from the regime in power and its minions,” said Kelley. “My song ‘It’s All Around You’ is about trying to survive this fascist nightmare by finding strength and hope within one’s self and in the community and support systems around you — and these compilations are a small way for artists like me to help out and be allies in this fight.”

🔮 Historia del Tarot (Parte 2): Mitos, símbolos y magia según María Luisa Honey
En esta segunda parte de la historia del tarot, publicada originalmente en la revista Kena, la escritora Beatriz Espejo entrevista a María Luisa Honey, una mujer fascinante que nos abre las puertas al enigmático mundo del tarot francés. 🃏
Este tarot no solo incluye símbolos tradicionales, sino que se adentra en el arte, la mitología, la astrología… ¡y hasta en la historia de Napoleón Bonaparte! 👑🔥
Prepárate para descubrir lo que significan algunas de las cartas más potentes y misteriosas de este mazo único. Spoiler: hay drama, magia, traiciones, pasiones oscuras y hasta representación LGBTQ+. 🌈
💀 La muerte violenta: Aquiles y Héctor
“En el tarot francés, la muerte violenta aparece representada por una pintura en la que Aquiles arrastra en torno a los muros troyanos el cuerpo inanimado de Héctor.”
Esta imagen no solo habla de violencia literal, sino de rupturas emocionales profundas, pérdidas que transforman, finales inevitables que dan paso a nuevos comienzos.
🍎 La discusión: Paris y las diosas
Cuando Paris, rodeado de diosas, lanza una manzana gritando “¡para la más bella!”, no solo inicia la Guerra de Troya… también deja clara la energía de esta carta: conflictos, celos, competencia y caos emocional. 😬
🌳 Entrada a una vida mejor: El jardín de las Hespérides
Un oasis entre tanto caos. Esta carta representa esperanza, paz y una nueva etapa luminosa. Ideal para cuando has pasado por algo difícil y al fin ves la luz al final del túnel. 🌞
👯♂️ Amistad verdadera: Cástor y Pólux
Los gemelos mitológicos representan lealtad, complicidad y apoyo incondicional. Si te sale esta carta, piensa en esas amistades que son familia del alma. 💖
⚔️ Salir bien librado: Agamenón y Menelao
Los hermanos, saliendo del campo de batalla, simbolizan superación de obstáculos y éxito en medio del caos. Aunque parezca imposible, vas a lograrlo. 💪
🕊️ Abuso de confianza: El rapto de Helena
La escena del rapto de Helena no es romántica, es un llamado de atención: engaño, traición y manipulación emocional. Cuidado con quien te rodea… no todo lo que brilla es oro. ⚠️
🧪 Protección mágica: Medea y sus polvos
Medea, famosa hechicera, aparece recibiendo dinero a cambio de ciertos polvos mágicos. Esta carta sugiere protección poderosa, rituales, brujería ancestral y pactos secretos. 🕯️✨
🐂 Pasiones oscuras: Júpiter y Europa
Cuando Júpiter, disfrazado de toro, rapta a Europa, el tarot nos habla de deseos incontrolables, encuentros ocultos y emociones intensas. 🔥
Si esta carta aparece, no ignores tus instintos… pero tampoco te dejes llevar ciegamente.📦 Todas las penas: La caja de Pandora
La famosa caja de Pandora simboliza penas de todas clases, pero también la persistente chispa de la esperanza. Aunque todo parezca perdido, siempre queda algo bueno por rescatar. 🌩️➡️🌈
🕵️♂️ Secretos revelados: Mercurio
Mercurio, el mensajero de los dioses, representa noticias importantes, revelaciones, secretos que salen a la luz. ¿Estás lista para enterarte de lo que no sabías? 📬
🏆 El premio mayor: El vellocino de oro
Una de las cartas más deseadas: la conquista del vellocino de oro. Aquí hablamos de éxito rotundo, logros épicos y recompensas merecidas. ¡Vas por buen camino! ✨
🦁 Napoleón y la carta del León: poder, orgullo y redención
En honor a Napoleón Bonaparte, nacido bajo el signo de Leo ♌, se diseñó una carta muy especial:
Hércules estrangulando al León de Nemea.
Pero no termina ahí. En la misma carta también aparecen dos escenas:
- 👑 Napoleón coronando a Josefina
- 🎖️ Y condecorando a uno de sus mariscales
Todo esto simboliza lo siguiente:
Por muy mal que estén las cosas en este momento, te rehabilitarás ante el crédito ajeno.
Una carta que promete rescate de tu reputación, incluso en los peores momentos. ✨🌈 Inclusividad inesperada: el cometa parado en tierra
Una carta en este tarot muestra un cometa detenido en tierra, y su significado es claro: homosexualidad.
Sorprendente para su época, este tarot demuestra una visión inclusiva y simbólica de la diversidad. 🏳️🌈🕰️ Predicciones cumplidas: la derrota en Waterloo
Napoleón creía en las cartas, y según cuentan, le advirtieron que un retraso sería fatal.
Por eso, decidió comenzar la batalla de Waterloo una hora antes de lo planeado, pero aún así, una demora lo llevó a la derrota.
📉 El destino ya estaba escrito… y las cartas lo sabían.📏 Las cartas originales: pequeñas, precisas y mágicas
Las barajas originales del tarot francés medían solo 8 centímetros, eran prácticas y fáciles de manejar.
Cada carta incluía:
- 🔭 Un plano astral
- 🔤 Una letra
- 🖼️ Tres grabados
Eran conocidas por dar noticias exactas.
Después se creó una versión más pequeña: el famoso Lenormant, que María Luisa Honey manejaba admirablemente. 🔮🎴 ¿Cómo se consulta el tarot?
Cuando alguien quiere hacer una pregunta concreta, hay un método especial para obtener respuestas claras:
✋ El ritual de barajar
- Se barajan las cartas siete veces.
El 7 es un número cabalístico:- 7 días de la semana
- 7 colores del arcoíris
- 7 palabras dijo Cristo en la cruz
- En 7 días Dios creó el mundo 🌈🙏
- Luego, se extraen tres cartas clave:
- La número 9 → la indestructible (el 9 aparece en todas las multiplicaciones)
- La número 13 → la fatalidad
- La número 21 → la recompensa
🙌 ¿Con qué mano partir?
- Con la mano izquierda si deseas que intervengan los afectos 💓
- Con la mano derecha para preguntas comerciales 💼
✂️ Cómo partir la baraja
- Muchas personas la parten diciendo: “Por mí, por mi casa, por mi porvenir.”
- Otras dicen: “Por las tres fuerzas: el espíritu, la materia y lo que se ignora.”
🎭 Porque la mente juega un papel importante: si crees en el tarot, se convierte en un espejo profundo del inconsciente.
🃏 ¿Y la baraja española?
Aunque es la más popular, también existe la creencia de que, como se ha usado mucho para jugar, a veces “no dice la verdad”.
Pero eso ya es tema para otra lectura… 🧐✨ El tarot como espejo de la humanidad
Desde héroes griegos hasta emperadores históricos, pasando por hechiceras, cometas y cajas malditas… el tarot francés retrata la complejidad humana con arte y misticismo.
Cada carta cuenta una historia. Y según María Luisa Honey, el tarot no es solo para adivinar el futuro, sino para leer el alma. 🌌

Five fave lesbian/sapphic love songs of alt/indie rock
Obviously, we all have individual tastes in music. As a male listening to this genre, these five lesbian/sapphic love songs share common threads with all other great love songs — they contain a heartfelt emotional vibe, feature well-written and evocative lyrics, and include great instrumentals that help draw the listener into the soul of the tune.
Of these five fave songs, three are by Canadian artists, one is by an Irish band, and one is by an American group. Peace & love!

Museums launch new bilingual app to support LGBTQ+ communities living with dementia
Launching during LGBTQ+ History Month, LGBTQ+ in Wales will evoke memories of queer Welsh history, as Swansea Museum and West Glamorgan Archive Service join with other organisations across Wales to support LGBTQ+ people living with dementia in their communities.
The app package uses the real memories of community members in Swansea and Neath Port Talbot and from across Wales, as well as spotlighting key items from queer culture found in Welsh museum collections.
Created alongside National Museums Liverpool’s House of Memories dementia programme, Swansea Museum and West Glamorgan Archive Service have contributed their own items and memories to create a digital archive or LGTBQ+ content.
The main aim of this project is to spark conversations between people living with dementia and their loved ones. Using items found in the app as cues and talking points, people living with dementia can have meaningful conversations, as well as personalising the app to focus on items that hold particular significance to them.
LGBTQ+ in Wales is a digital archive of memories from Wales’ LGBTQ+ communities, with experiences of nightclubs, Pride marches, queer activism, drag acts and more. This new package is an addition to the House of Memories Cymru programme, which was launched at the Senedd in 2023.
AdvertisementHighlights from Swansea Museum and West Glamorgan Archive Service collections that feature in the app package includes programmes for the first gay marriage in Swansea, “Pits and Perverts” event poster, theatre programmes for drag acts and a Swansea University LGB society newsletter.

The museums involved are: Conwy Culture Centre, Swansea Museum, National Museum Wales, Glamorgan Archives, West Glamorgan Archives, Cyfarthfa Castle Museum and Art Gallery and Museum of Cardiff.
Other highlights for people to explore include court registers, inclusive rugby team shirts and flags and memorabilia from Pride events using a mixture of audio, video and images.
House of Memories Cymru is available through National Museums Liverpool’s My House of Memories app. Alongside the dementia community, the app is co-created through the award-winning House of Memories programme and features memories from a range of community groups in the UK and further afield.
The LGBTQ+ in Wales package will contain items that relate to specific areas of Wales. Already existing items from museum collections will be brought together to showcase the country’s rich and diverse queer history.
Jack Sargeant, minister for culture, said: “This LGBTQ+ in Wales app package will be such an insightful resource, celebrating the rich history and lived experiences of LGBTQ+ communities throughout our country.
Advertisement“This Welsh Government-supported initiative not only helps preserve our shared heritage but also provides an invaluable support for people living with dementia and their loved ones to connect through meaningful memories. Projects like this demonstrate the power of heritage and inclusive storytelling in strengthening communities across Wales.”

Who will stand up for LGBTQ+ Diversity?
Progress Pride flagThe only thing that has surprised me about Donald Trump’s assault on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is the speed with which he has imposed his bigotry on individuals and federal institutions. The first step came within hours of the Felon-in-Chief assuming office with an Executive Order intended to dismantle crucial protections for transgender people and deny the validity of gender identity itself. The new order withdraws a range of executive orders issued by Joe Biden, including those allowing transgender people to serve in the military, advancing the health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth, and interpreting federal sex discrimination protections in domains like education, housing, and immigration to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. And this is just the start, and I don’t think it will be confined to the USA for very long.
The attack on LGBTQ+ rights is part of a wider assault on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies intended to create a level playing field for women and minorities. The intention is to turn the Federal government into a system of oppression operated by people of Trump’s hate-filled mindset that diversity is a threat to white male privilege and must be crushed. He and his crony Elon Musk got where they are not by merit but through inherited wealth. It’s no surprise that they wish to deny others the chance to succeed.
I have addressed the question “why should we care about diversity?” many times on this blog in many contexts, though usually in science and usually in reference to LGBTQ+ rights. The obvious answer _ think – is based on notions of fairness: we should do everything we can to ensure that people have equal opportunity to advance their career in whatever direction appeals to them. But I’m painfully aware that there are some people for whom arguments based on fairness simply don’t wash. Trumpists, for example. For them there’s another argument that should work better. As scientists whose goal is – or should be – the advancement of knowledge, the message is that we should strive as hard as possible to recruit the brightest and most creative brains into our subject. That means ensuring that the pool from which we recruit is as large and as diverse as possible. In large and complex research collaborations, such as the Euclid Consortium (of which I am a member), the range of ideas and perspectives is a real asset when it comes to solving problems. The problem is that this argument doesn’t work either as they are driven purely by mean-spirited ideology and the desire to fill the institutions of state with those of a similar ilk.
The effects of the latest reactionary steps are already starting to show in the area of astronomy. The Diversity and LGBT+ channels on the Vera Rubin-LSST Slack (which is a Federal project, funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy) have already been deleted. A similar fate has befallen the Space Telescope Science Institute (funded by NASA). It seems to me unlikely that NASA itself will survive long as Musk will have his eyes on dismantling it and using its resources for his own vanity projects.
Over the past year I have given a few talks about my own career in research as an LGBTQ+ person; see for example here. In giving these talks I tried to strike a relatively positive tone, showing how LGBTQ+ rights have improved over the 40 years or so I’ve been involved in cosmological research since I started my graduate studies in 1985. I have, however, ended with a warning that the forces of reaction were gathering, and all the progress we have made could easily be put into reverse. That is exactly what is happening now in the USA.
The question in my mind is who will stand up for diversity? I can quote examples from my own life that prove that some individual institutions have never really taken LGBTQ+ bullying and discrimination seriously. Others may be genuinely supportive, but perhaps that is wishful thinking. It is notable how enthusiastically some US organizations have preemptivly cooperated with Trump’s edicts, even when paused through legal challenge. I grew up in the 1980s when the climate was filled with homophobic hate. It is naive to imagination that all that hate simply disappeared. We will find out very soon whether our self-styled “allies” have only ever been fair weather friends who will happily abandon us when we become politically inconvenient.

Mark Zuckerberg, Trump y la controversia sobre los tampones en baños masculinos
AnunciosMark Zuckerberg, director ejecutivo de Meta, está nuevamente en el centro de la polémica. La decisión de retirar tampones de los baños masculinos en las oficinas de la compañía ha causado indignación, especialmente entre la comunidad LGBTQ+. Este acto afecta directamente a los hombres trans que menstrúan y ha sido señalado como un retroceso en los esfuerzos por promover la inclusión. Sin embargo, el contexto político detrás de estas decisiones amplifica aún más las críticas.
Cambios en Meta tras la reunión con Trump
Según un artículo del *New York Times*, Zuckerberg adoptó un enfoque más conservador luego de visitar a Donald Trump en Mar-a-Lago durante el Día de Acción de Gracias. Tras esta reunión, convocó a un reducido grupo de altos ejecutivos para discutir un cambio radical en las políticas de la empresa, particularmente en cuanto a la expresión en línea. Posteriormente, ordenó que estas ideas se convirtieran en políticas oficiales.
Pero la controversia no termina ahí. El artículo también menciona que Meta está eliminando iniciativas clave relacionadas con la diversidad, equidad e inclusión (DEI). La empresa informó a sus empleados que:
– Eliminaría el puesto de director de diversidad.
– Pondría fin a sus objetivos de contratación de mujeres y minorías.
– Dejaría de priorizar a empresas propiedad de minorías al contratar proveedores.¿Un retroceso en inclusión?
Estas acciones, sumadas al retiro de tampones en baños masculinos, representan un giro preocupante en los valores de Meta. Para muchas personas, estas decisiones reflejan un desinterés por las comunidades vulnerables y una alineación con políticas conservadoras que limitan derechos y refuerzan desigualdades.
¿Neutralidad o inclinación política?
Meta es una de las empresas tecnológicas más influyentes del mundo, y decisiones como estas no solo afectan su imagen, sino también la percepción de neutralidad en sus plataformas. Si dos de las principales redes sociales (Facebook e Instagram) adoptan ideologías percibidas como excluyentes, se corre el riesgo de alienar a millones de usuarios que esperan espacios seguros y diversos.
Empatía más allá de la comunidad
Es importante entender que, aunque las decisiones de Zuckerberg puedan ser celebradas por personas con pensamientos homofóbicos o conservadores, retirar medidas de protección para cualquier población vulnerable no es adecuado. No se necesita ser parte de una comunidad para sentir empatía. Al igual que no necesitamos ser palestinos para sentir empatía con ellos, o ser judíos para entender la gravedad de la persecución que vivieron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, no es necesario ser parte de la comunidad LGBTQ+ para apoyar su derecho a vivir de manera segura y respetada.
Zuckerberg y Musk: Los magnates de las redes sociales
Con las recientes decisiones de Zuckerberg, ya sería el segundo magnate dueño de una red social de gran influencia que está tomando medidas alineadas con políticas conservadoras. El primero fue Elon Musk, quien adquirió Twitter (ahora X) y también ha implementado cambios significativos que algunos consideran contrarios a la diversidad e inclusión. Este fenómeno plantea la pregunta de si estamos viendo una tendencia entre los líderes de las grandes plataformas sociales de alejarse de la neutralidad en favor de posturas más ideológicas.
Reflexión final
El reporte del New York Times revela una transformación profunda en Meta que afecta tanto a sus empleados como a sus usuarios. Estas decisiones no son solo temas internos, sino acciones que impactan directamente a comunidades enteras y envían un mensaje sobre los valores que la empresa prioriza.
¿Estamos viendo el comienzo de un Meta más conservador y alineado con políticas MAGA? Solo el tiempo lo dirá, pero lo cierto es que estas decisiones han dejado a muchas comunidades sintiéndose ignoradas y vulnerables.

Too often in rock history, male drummers have received the spotlight. Well, listed below are my favorite women and non-binary drummers of today’s modern rock music. Each musician brings something special to their band from vocals, to lyrics, to other instruments being played, to being the very beating heart of each song as expressed through their drumming. These talented artists represent multiple nations (Canada, Ireland, the UK, and the USA)
Please consider giving each band a listen and see if you agree with me. Peace and rock on!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder review, YA tale about an amateur sleuth
I can see why A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is a hit with the YA crowd. Appealing diverse characters, some LGBTQ characters, interesting mysteries, a bit of romance, and high school shenanigans.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder has all the right ingredients, especially the lead character Pippa played by an excellent Emma Myers. However, I didn't think the writing of the mystery part of the story was outstanding. There were too many crimes, too many perpetrators, and too many false clues. It [...]

Another joyous year. It rained and people laughed. The March was upbeat and proudly trans positive. I met and photographed girls, gays, theys, so many allies, friends, clients and charities doing good. 2 hours of life affirming fun. I can’t wait till 2025, the 15th anniversary of Liverpool Pride.
