I hate it. I don't feel like I can trust any other news website other than one run by and for lgbt+ people. But I also feel betrayed by my go to. They still have trans articles but you have to seek out the page instead of it being right there. And it is all because trans issues are 'contentious' and they want it to all be entertainment based. "we don't want to be seen as supportive of trans people cause the people with the money don't like that". I don't care about that. I want to know about how we are being oppressed, or how we are fighting oppression. Not which movie stars are bisexual or stuff like that. Not what I'm there for.
If anybody could tell me a better news site than pink news let me know lol.
You have www.GAY45.eu (in English, called by others a kind of The New Yorker for queers) and www.Queer.de (in German, news, and better than anything, easy to translate in any internet browser). Europe's queer media need to be refreshed. In the USA we can not ask too much. It is a party-style media with more celebrities and gossip than news.
While incredibly disappointing, disheartening, and cruel, we don't call it TERF Island for nothing. They're really living up to their reputation as a nation.
Another example of how profit motive and allying with capital is harmful to lgbt people if the social winds change direction. The only thing the capital owners care about is money.
There are two trans stories on today's landing page, both dated today. And one dated the 16th, which is the only story on the front page not dated today.
Especially on Twitter, and especially right now, it's important to expect attempts to sow dissent and division on the queer left; is it possible the post on the platform was such an attempt?
Hey, it's not my intention to sow division. This is my new site, I am focused on stories related to Australia however this one was big and nobody was covering it at the time.
I had suspected something was up, as a few weeks ago I had noticed that PinkNews had removed trans as a category on their news dropdown.
Earlier this year Pink News had a trans section under the news dropdown, and now it doesn't. This + The leaked recordings feel like sufficient evidence for me to publish and share this.
Pinknews pivoting to trans exclusion is definitely newsworthy. I’m glad to have read your post.
I think a lot of people forget lgbt communities are pretty young and we are very reliant on the functioning institutions we have be it in media or civil society. I hope an inclusive news org picks up the slack and we can put pinkish news behind us.
Division sowed by the employees of PinkNews itself? Get a grip and stop being so naive. Millionaire CEOs like Cohen are not our friends, they don't care about the outcomes for us, they only care about profit and are happy to fuck us to get it.
In Europe, you have in English a kind of The New Yorker for queer www.GAY45.eu (this is what others say) and for news www.Queer.de (in German, but is easy to be translated in any internet browser). Quality journalism, and you can see for yourself.
Pink news, like many LGBT organizations was founded by a gay white man who doesn't really care about the trans community. They gay community has always tried to exclude us. They forget that we bring our own bricks

I watch the young turks on YouTube. They're very progressive 🖤
Noooo, Ana has said some very problematic things about trans people in the recent past. Like a year ago.
They're not entirely focused on trans issues, but they talk about a lot of issues including trans. 🙂
Im pretty sure they have their own website and such too, but I just usually watch their videos lol

You could try following Erin In The Morning (https://www.erininthemorning.com/)
hello since 29 august the twitter account @pinknewstaff has been taken down
This morning on the 27th the lead headline at Pink News is about a group of trans kids occupying a UK education building.
"Trans youth occupy Department for Education in new protest: ‘We will have our dignity’"
The dropdown doesn't list LGBTQI specifically.

Star Observer has been my go-to for a long time https://www.starobserver.com.au/ (Australian based but also covers global news)

Looks like they finally realized that they need to drop the rage bait crowd.
I stopped reading their site awhile ago as I didn't think the articles were informative or well-written. This is disappointing to hear.
Dang it. I had stopped reading their articles awhile ago as they seemed less informative than other sources, but this is just disappointing.
