LGBTQ News and Stories at Beyond the Cube Daily News
Looking for real stories about LGBTQ lives, issues, and events? This is your go-to spot for news that matters to the LGBTQ community and allies. We highlight voices that often don’t get mainstream attention, from inspiring leaders to critical challenges that shape the community’s realities today.
Remembering Muhsin Hendricks: A Pioneer and Advocate
One deeply moving story we cover is about Muhsin Hendricks, the world’s first openly gay imam. His recent tragic death in South Africa was a huge blow to LGBTQ rights, especially among LGBTQ Muslims. Hendricks spent years building bridges between faith and identity, showing there’s space to be both. His life’s work was about acceptance and support where it’s often lacking. His loss points to ongoing dangers LGBTQ leaders face, even in countries with legal protections.
Why LGBTQ Stories Are Essential
Sharing LGBTQ stories helps break harmful stereotypes and brings visibility to a community often pushed to the margins. We dig beyond the headlines to explain the ‘why’ and ‘how’ behind these news pieces — whether it's about social challenges, milestones in acceptance, or daily experiences. Covering local and international LGBTQ issues connects the dots on progress and setbacks alike. These stories are more than news; they’re about real people's lives and the fight for equal rights.
Stay with us as we keep reporting on events, advocacy, and cultural moments affecting the LGBTQ community, welcoming readers to understand and support every step of the way.
