DIVA Magazine March 15 Retour à l'édition précédente

In this month’s DIVA we consider what it’s like for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people who live life in fear of prejudice – particularly those who have been told that certain religious texts support this prejudice. In a moving interview, Christian theologian Vicky Beeching talks about the mental, physical and spiritual toll she and others pay because of this prejudice. Muslim student Rose Neelam and Rabbi Ariel Friedlander also have powerful stories about how accepting families can make all the difference to living a richer life. And award-winning writer Paris Lees is back to advise us how to be better trans allies.

Elsewhere, Season 4 Girls star Desiree Akhavan discusses what it's like being a crazy talented bisexual Iranian-American. And inside you’ll also find a ten page wedding special featuring the stories behind your wedding snaps and top tips for finding the best wedding venues. Not to mention all the fantastic bonus content you get for downloading the issue, including behind-the-scenes photos from our cover shoot with Vicky Beeching and a video of her keynote speech at the 2015 Gay Christian Network Conference.
