Grindr n’a pas reçu de consigne pour empêcher les athlètes d’avoir des relations pendant les JO. La raison du blocage de certaines fonctionnalités est bien plus triste : Grindr cherche à les protéger de l’homophobie et des conséquences éventuelles lors d’un retour dans un pays qui criminalise les personnes LGBTQ+. Les Jeux Olympiques de Paris 2024, comme toutes les manifestations sportives internationales, sont des lieux de rencontre. Et si l’on a considéré un temps que les lits en carton des athlètes étaient des lits anti-sexe, il n’en est rien : le CIO est conscient qu’une telle manifestation est propice aux rencontres, d’un soir ou d’une vie — en témoignent les quelques 200 000 préservatifs distribués aux sportifs et sportives pendant la compétition. Mais pour les personnes qui utilisent l’application Grindr, dédiée aux rencontres entre hommes, la compétition pourrait tourner au cauchemar.
Poles take to the streets of Warsaw on International Women's Day to demand free access to contraceptives. Although pro-Western parties managed to oust the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) government in October 2023 elections, women are voicing anger and frustration over delays in changing the laws on women's reproductive rights. The PiS's eight-year rule saw access to abortion, in-vitro fertilisation and emergency contraception tightened. IMAGES

Polls close in Columbus, Ohio, after voters were asked by referendum whether or not to enshrine the right to abortion in the state constitution.
