UAE National Day 2025
Every year on December 2, something special happens across the United Arab Emirates. The whole country comes alive with color, culture, and pride. Streets glow with red, green, white, and black. Kids wave flags from car windows. Families gather in parks. Buildings shimmer with lights. And once again, the UAE prepares to celebrate one of its most meaningful moments: National Day, also known as Eid Al Etihad.

Enrique Castro Jr.
Democrats across the country had a strong showing on election night. From a democratic socialist becoming New York's youngest and first Muslim mayor to the victories of moderate Democratic women in Virginia and New Jersey’s gubernatorial races, the party is showing new signs of life. For a political movement that had struggled to rebuild after years of setbacks, these wins suggest a renewed sense of energy, direction, and purpose.

Colors of Courage
The world around him was painted in grey that morning. Not because the sky lacked color, but because Rayan had spent too many years trying to hide his own.

Hiding out in Hip Hop
I don’t understand why there is homophobia in Hip Hop and there is that in other musical genres. Hiding out in Hip Hop is a book from a gay hip hop insider who without ever given the names leaves one a lot of clues as to who the author of the book just might be referring to.

Drag Queens reading to kids
There is nothing traumatizing about drag queens who read storybooks. Please tell me, what is so traumatic about a person who dresses as a gender opposite to his birth gender who reads a book to children? I bet you can't tell me because there's nothing traumatic about it. It is traumatizing what small minds put in the heads of children and ignorance is where the real traumas for children are found. Although this article is short by point, it has definitely been done, as well as my case had been discussed and represented in the best way. There's nothing wrong with drag queens reading books to children. My point of view

It is an honor that people can come out to me
I am glad that so many people feel coming out of the closet to me about their true sexuality. I think about the fact that people feel comfortable and safe to come out of the closet to me and if I can make a person comfortable it means a lot to me. I remember the first time a girl came out to me was in catholic highschool of all places. From that moment it was the first time I ever had that happen and it’s one of those things and to me I wonder if I came out of the closet would I have that
