StiriGay.ro, affected by the financial crisis

Our website, StiriGay.ro was affected by the financial crisis. How could avoid it? Unfortunately it is not enough only to wish to do something for the things to work as planned.

StiriGay.ro is a project that appeared from the desire to move things a bit in theRomanian LGBT community. We started in full speed, bringing a lot of fresh news, mainly from abroad because in our country nothing seemed to happen.

SPECIAL: Shakira, drag queen: I managed to be ME in my dear small country

Despite all the homophobia and mean stuff, Shakira manages to say about him that he is a happy person, that he feels good in Romania and that life offered him enough to consider himself a lucky man. He learned to survive in a jungle that hates you only because you dare to be different.

With the drag queens group, he was sensational and if at the beginning they were only a freak show, thru artistic quality they changed the preconceived image about themselves. They were adored by gays and straight as well, they performed in gay clubs as well as in clubs that you'll never said a drag queen will ever enter.

STIRIGAY.RO EXCLUSIVE: Why Romanian Stars are not assuming their sexuality?

It's not a secret to anyone that the sexuality of our gay stars is a taboo. They prefer to stay hidden, to avoid commentaries or to make statements, many of them having buffer-relations between them and the press. Why are they doing it?

Maybe because the society isn't prepaired, maybe because they are advised to do so, maybe because it is harder for a gay to make it to the top in Romanian showbiz. Or maybe because they feel they are not members of this community. A lot of possibilities that StiriGay.ro is trying to solve together with the editor ofVoxPublica and famous journalist, Costi Rogozanuand the psychologist and permanent advisor of our site, Sorin Georgescu.

Why Romanian Stars are not assuming their sexuality publicly although about many of them everybody knows unofficialy that they are gay?

SPECIAL: I made the mistake of watching TV

I have this habit of watching TV. Don't ask me why because I don't have an answer. I watch TV like all the normal people. But the folks that appear on TV have this gift of making me sometimes, by their small mind, to make me feel bad in my own home.

I was watching the famous news about the football players making sex in a small romanian city. First published by the Libertatea tabloid then cited on every blog or site, even on those gay themed, or at TV, especially on those stations so called News Channels. Every media was debating the same issue: how could they do such a thing, how could some footballers made sex with eachother. With lines like: "they aren't real football players, they are from far away", "too bad, he was a promising footballer but now his future career is compromised" or "what do gays do in football", did make my stomach feel sick.
