Posted by EILE Magazine on January 26, 2020 in LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Politics, Youth

How will you vote in this election? Do you know where your candidate stands on LGBTI+ issues?

BeLonG To would like you to ask your election candidates to protect and advance the rights of LGBTI+ youth.

Film Review: The Grudge

Posted by EILE Magazine on January 25, 2020 in Culture & Arts, Reviews

Frances Winston reviews this reboot of Japanese horror film, Ju-On (The Grudge)

Directed by: Nicolas Pesce – Starring: Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, Jacki Weaver

This was first announced in 2011 as a reboot of the 2004 Sarah Michelle Gellar remake of the Japanese horror film, Ju-On (The Grudge). Since that announcement, it has gone through a rather erratic development trajectory (I really don’t have a long enough word count to explain it here) so what we get is more of a sidequel than a reboot, as events here run alongside events in the original (American remake) movie, and its sequels (still with me – good).

Trans study: Suicide risk lowers with puberty suppression for some

Posted by EILE Magazine on January 25, 2020 in Health & Fitness, LGBT, News & Current Affairs, Transgender News & Issues

(Reuters Health) – While only a minority of transgender youth who want puberty-blocking medicines receive this treatment, a new study suggests they may have a lower suicide risk when they get it.

Researchers examined survey data from 20,619 transgender adults, ages 18 to 36, who described their current mental health, as well as any interest in puberty suppression when they were younger. Overall, about 17% said they had wanted to take drugs to help their outward appearance better match their gender identity when they were growing up. Continue Reading »

Mexican Ricardo Canabal gave up playing football when he was 21, unable to reconcile his sexuality with what LGBT+ campaigners say is a deep-rooted homophobia in the sport.

Now 35, he has felt able to return to the game he loves, founding his own team of gay players in one of Mexico City’s amateur LGBT+ football leagues. Younger LGBT+ players, he says, have often had an easier time.

“(Playing on the team) fills me with satisfaction,” said Canabal. “It feels like something special … it’s something unique of its kind, that few countries or few cities have.” Continue Reading »
