Malaysia Wants to Ban GLBT.

In what can only be described as pure evil, the Jabatan Pen­er­an­gan Malay­sia or the Depart­ment of Inform­a­tion Malay­sia just pub­lished the fol­low­ing state­ment on their Face­book page. Berkuatkuasa serta merta, stesen radio dan tele­visyen diminta menghentikan ran­can­gan yang menyi­arkan watak pondan, lelaki lem­but serta watak yang ber­cang­gah dengan norma masyarakat beragama ker­ana dikatakan menyokong

Tell Facebook to Recognise other Genders

Cur­rently, Face­book only allows one to identify them­selves as either male or female. A clear dis­crim­in­a­tion against those who do not identify them­selves as either gender. Face­book cares about how they are seen in the media and if enough of us speak up, they’ll have to listen. Will you take a moment to spread the

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. So what bet­ter way to ensure that

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. By adding your voice you’ve joined over 500,000 people around the world to send a power­ful mes­sage that the Ugandan gov­ern­ment
