Meanwhile in Russia

Now that my own cam­paign is out of the way, time to look to Rus­sia, where “Con­ser­vat­ive law­makers in Saint Peters­burg just passed the notori­ous “pro­pa­ganda” law to silence any read­ing, writ­ing, speech or debate on any­thing “gay.”” Appar­ently, the Rus­si­ans intend to invest USD 11 bil­lion in tour­ism.

Kill the Gays” Defeated!

First thing in my email this morn­ing from the All Out organ­iz­a­tion. The inter­na­tional pres­sure has worked! Uganda has aban­doned the Kill the Gays bill, clos­ing par­lia­ment in the face of an unpre­ced­en­ted global out­cry.

Azwan Ismail, Unfazed.

Azwan Ismail was very briefly quoted in theSun. Very very briefly. Any journ­al­ists around to explain the shod­di­ness in report­ing the biggest social upheaval of the year? “I expec­ted these one-sided com­ments, but per­haps not to the extent of mak­ing death threats. We are only exposed to one point of view on homo­sexu­al­ity,” he said when
