Justice Served: Unveiling the Names of Brianna Ghey’s Teenage Killers

The perpetrators responsible for the murder of trans schoolgirl Brianna Ghey, identified as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, have been publicly named as they receive life sentences for their heinous crime. Mrs Justice Yip revealed their identities after lifting the anonymity order, given the severity of their actions. Throughout the trial, the duo had been referred to as Girl X and Boy Y, with their disturbing shared interest in violence, torture, and serial killers highlighted during court proceedings. Their joint planning of “dark fantasies” was a chilling aspect discussed by the jury. At the time of Brianna's tragic murder on February 11 last year, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both 15 then, had compiled a “kill list” that included four other teenagers. During the sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, Brianna's father, Peter Spooner, expressed his devastation, describing Jenkinson and Ratcliffe as “pure evil.” In his victim impact statement, he remarked, “Now...

Let’s Look At The Top LGBTQ+ Stories Of 2023

has always shed light on the important happenings in the life of the LGBTQ+ community across the world. This year we have brought you more than 2000 television stories. Our struggles are common and our happiness is connected. Hence, we thought of revisiting the best moments of this year, while we are about to say goodbye to 2023. The most underrated gem of the year has to be Veronica Esposito's foray into AI-faked yearbook photos, allowing her to imagine the girlhood she'd always longed for. The most terrifying news of the year has to be the U.S.-based ‘hate group' Alliance Defending Freedom using a shadowy network of lawyers and doctors to infiltrate Canada. The best video on TikTok this year was of Queer Eye fame Jonathan Van Ness having a frank conversation with Dax Shepard about dispelling anti-trans misinformation, and they called out Shepard for participating in it. The best use of the rainbow metaphor has to be Jeremy Dutcher describing his understanding of intersecting queer identities to Riley Yesno. Adding to the list, we think the best moment for the community across the world was when Pope Francis approved blessings for same-sex couples. There is a tie for the best hypocritical moment of the year. The one was Kid Rock drinking Bud Light and serving it in his restaurant after opposing it first for signing a trans-TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney. The second contender for the title is Moms of Liberty Co-founder Bridget Ziegler flunking her own so-called Morality Test. And how can we forget this year's queerest award ceremony, The Grammy Awards? As for South Florida, the year has been a roller coaster ride of both joyous and heartbreaking news, as SMARTRide, the 2nd largest AIDS bicycle ride in the country, concludes its final journey in November, after two decades. While, on the other hand, the queer community has rolled its sleeves to fight hatred and discrimination like never before by organizing LGBTQ+ events, art shows, and street arts like Adora Vanessa Athena Fantasia in Miami Beach. Next week Queer News Tonight will bring you the 25 most watched stories we broadcast in 2023. We call the special 25 in 23. And it is substantial as more than 500,000 have subscribed to Happening Out Television Network on the streaming networks of Roku, Apple TV, Android TV and Amazon Fire TV. And more than 10 million views of our 2023 stories was a record watch on YouTube. And Queer News Tonight promises to support our LGBTQ+ community by bringing your stories to the world in 2024.

Faith History Is Made As Pope, Catholic Church And The Church Of England Will Bless Lgbtq+ Couples

Within hours of each other both The Church of England and Pope Francis for the Roman Catholic church formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples. This is a radical change to both churches' policies. Both churches insisted in new documents that people seeking God's love and mercy shouldn't be subject to quote “an exhaustive moral analysis to receive it.” The Church of England was not a complete surprise. For much of 2023 the church had hinted that they wanted to recognize gay priests and bless LGBTQ+ couples. The Pope's formal announcement this week was more surprising. It comes at the end of 2023 and a year of dramatic signals from the Pontiff including censure of two anti-LGBTQ cardinals and growing verbal embracement of the Queer community. Both declarations stopped well short of any recognition of marriage. Additionally the Pope's declaration stressed that blessings must be non-liturgical in nature and should not be conferred at the same time a...

Guess Which Country Supports Marriage Equality The Most

New Pew Research Center analysis shows that Western European countries are most heavily in favor of marriage equality. Pew has conducted surveys in 32 countries in the past two years. Support was highest in Sweden, where 92 percent of respondents favored equal marriage rights for same-sex couples. Other countries in Western Europe were not far behind, with 89 percent support in the Netherlands, 87 percent in Spain, 82 percent in France, and 80 percent in Germany. Each of those countries has legalized same-sex marriage . In Italy, where legalization is being debated but hasn't yet happened, 73 percent of respondents endorsed marriage equality. In the United Kingdom, support stood at 74 percent, and all parts of the U.K. have enacted marriage equality. The situation was much different in the Eastern European countries Pew has surveyed, with just 41 percent support in Poland and 31 percent in Hungary. In North America, 79 percent of Canadians and 63 percent of both U.S. residents and ...
