Joey Graceffa and his boyfriend Daniel Preda have split
The pair shared in an emotional video that they’ve split and some fans can’t cope.
YouTuber Joey Graceffa and his now ex-boyfriend, Daniel Preda have announced that they’ve officially split after being together for six years.
In an incredibly emotional and revealing 14-minute video, which they called “We broke up” the pair discuss their break up, revealing that they actually broke up 3 months ago saying that neither of them had been happy for a while and that the lack of distractions had forced them to make some tough decisions about their relationship.
Daniel admitted that they had been living apart and now had his own home and said the dismantling of six years together was extremely hard.
The couple assured their fans that they had nothing but “love and admiration” for each other. “We want to stay in each other’s lives and be friends past this,” Joey added.
Their fans were quick to console the couple, with many expressing how 2020 couldn’t get any worse.
One user commented, “Me: 2020 can’t get any worse 2020: hold my virus, Parallel universe, hornets, more racism, world war 3” while another added, “2020: Kobe Died 2020: COVID-19 2020: Delays 2020: Hornets 2020: Racism 2020: THIS”
Joey and Daniel confirmed their relationship in 2016, a year after Joey came out as gay on his YouTube channel.

Where can I buy LGBT inspired facemasks?
Mandatory face coverings are going to become a thing across the UK – it’s already a requirement on public transport and in Scotland, you must wear a covering when shopping. As lockdown restrictions continue to be eased, and we’re all able to open up our social bubbles, it seems that face coverings are one of the ways we’re being told that can reduce coronavirus infections.
Although it’s important to remember that wearing a face mask doesn’t necessarily stop you for catching the virus, but does help reduce the spread of the virus.

The EU’s most anti-LGBT+ leader has been reelected in Poland
In a blow to LGBT+ rights activists in Poland, Andrzej Duda from the far-right wing Law and Justice Party has won the presidential election. However, he only won the election with a tiny majority, with only 51.2 per cent of the votes.
Duda ran an electoral campaign which heavily vilified the LGBT+ community, calling it a “destructive” force.
Photo by Kaboompics .com on Pexels.com The tiny majority is the tightest win Poland has ever had. Rafal Trzaskowski, the current major of Warsaw, who runs on a liberal platform narrowly lost with 48.8 per cent of the vote.
During Duda’s campaign, he signed one of the most anti-LGBT charters in the EU against what he calls the “LGBT Ideology”, which he said was “more destructive than communist indoctrination”.
The charter defends the “institution of marriage” which means that there is no acceptance of gay marriage.
He’ll also refuses to accept allowing gay couples to adopt children.
Poland has the worst LGBT+ rights for any EU country
Poland’s lags way behind its fellow EU countries when it comes to LGBT+ rights according to Rainbow-Europe.org. It has just a 15.8 per cent approval rating, compared to Malta which sits at the top with nearly 90 per cent approval. Neighbouring countries to Poland, Lituania, Belarus, Slovakia and the Czech Republic all fall well below 50 per cent on the scale.

Reddit just purged a lot of subreddits that criticised trans people
Reddit has purged a huge amount of forums recently. Yesterday it banned numerous subreddits, many of which were gender critical, trans-exclusionary or part of an anti-transgender movement.
Reddit is one of the largest forum websites in the world. It has hundreds of thousands of pages dedicated to thousands of topics, with millions of users.
As part of an ongoing clean up of its website, Reddit banned numerous forums yesterday (10th July), which homed thousands of threads of conversations with regards to the validity of transgender identities and gender expression.
Here’s the list of subreddits that were banned that Reddit said had broken its guidelines on “promoting hate”.

r/TrueLesbians
r/GCDebatesQT
r/ActualWomen
r/TERFIsASlur
r/GenderCriticalGuys
r/GenderCritLesbians
r/LGBDropTheT

r/ThisNeverHappens
r/BecauseTrans
r/CisPrivilegeIsALie
r/TransgenderKids
r/GenderCriticalTheory
r/GC_WoC
r/GenderCynicalCritical
r/ThereAreTwoGendersThe ban included LGB specific reddits. Some of the LGB groups think that the T should be dropped from the LGBT+ acronym, very much like the Get the L out campaign which disrupted Pride In London in 2018 or the LGB Alliance on Twitter.

- r/TrueLesbians

- r/UncensoredLGBT

Detrans is a forum that was initially banned for around an hour but was later reinstated. Its purpose is to give those people who detransition a forum to talk about their lives and journies.
A week ago, Reddit made headlines after it deleted dozens of forums for hate speech.
It is thought that Reddit has now deleted around 2000 of its forums.

This London Gay Sauna has announced post-lockdown opening date
One of the UK’s busiest gay bathhouses has announced its plans to open for the first time since non-essential businesses were ordered to close by the UK’s government.
As the UK’s businesses start, slowly to come back to life, after 100 days of lockdown due to the Coronavirus, many customers are eager for some businesses to re-open, particularly in the LGBT+ sector. One of the last business types to reopen is the sauna.
Now, Pleasuredrome in London has given fans of the gay sauna hope, by announcing it is planning to reopen and welcome back patrons by the middle of summer.
In a statement sent via its mailing list, Pleasuredrome, one of the UK’s busiest gay bathhouses announced its plans to reopen in August – although no specific date was given. We will, of course, update if a specific date is published. The sauna closed back on March 17th.
The pledge to reopen was made after the UK’s government said it was further relaxing restrictions on yet more businesses including swimming pools and gyms. These lifted restrictions only apply in England as the devolved administration in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are setting their own timetable for reopenings.
From the 13th July close contact services such as spas and massage parlours will be allowed open in England.
From the 25th July sport facilities and venues will be allowed to open, “subject to evidence closer to the time”
Many businesses in England have returned, albeit will COVID-secure restrictions including physical distancing measures and limiting the number of people permitted in the building. Bars and pubs were allowed to reopen last weekend, however, nightclubs are still not permitted to open.

People have been considering what a Joe Exotic presidency might have looked like
There was a point where Tiger King star Joe Exotic was running for the presidency in the US… Now people have been wondering what that might have looked like if he had actually won.
In 2016 Joe ran a presidential campaign as an independent candidate in Colorado and received 962 votes.
So taking to his official Twitter account, his husband, Dillon asked Joe’s fans, what they thought Joe’s first act as president would have been… the answers were hilarious.
Unsurprisingly there’s was running theme in the imaginings of his fans and many of the responses centred around one person.
Carole Baskin’s name was brought up quite a lot in the thread of ideas of a Joe Exotic presidency would have looked like.
During the Netflix documentary series, Tiger King, the feud between Carole Baskin and Joe Exotic was a central theme and Joe’s dislike for the big-cat rights activist was pretty intense.
However, people did have other suggestions for a Joe Exotic presidency, one person suggested that the White House lawns could be turned in an animal enclosure, while another suggested that the “USA would never financially recover from it”.
