The Pink Humanist is an online magazine published by the UK LGBT charity the Pink Triangle Trust (PTT).
It features topics of special interest to those who identify as humanists, atheists,, freethinkers, secularists and sceptics in the LGTB communities and those who support them.
The latest (Winter 20015/16) issue gives details of how PTT funding is helping a Ugandan Humanist organisation, HELU (Humanist Empowerment of Livelihoods in Uganda) to assist vulnerable girls and educate children.
In “The challenge of atheism in contemporary Zimbabwe”, Nigerian human rights activist Leo Igwe, who founded the Nigerian Humanist Association, speaks to two sceptics who describe the difficulties of “coming out” as non-believers in the country, and Stuart Hartill writes about the unexpectedly fast progress being made towards LGBT equality on the Isle of Man.
The issue also contains the fascinating account of eccentric gay Transylvanian, Franz Baron Nopcsa von Felso-Szilvás, born in 1877, who is today considered the father of paleobiology through his dedicated research into dinosaur bones.
Other features include an examination of LGBT rights in Greece and Tasmania, a review of a new biography of gay atheist code breaker Alan Turing entitled Prof: Alan Turing Decoded and an introduction to a new book – The Adventures of a Happy Homosexual: Memoirs of an Unlikely Activist – by the President of the UK National Secular Society, Terry Sanderson.
