Moscow authorities ban Gay Pride

Moscow’s Deputy Mayor told the event organiser, Nikolai Alekseyev, and confirmed to Amnesty International, that his application to hold the event had been rejected due to the large number of objections it had received from members of the public.

In October 2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russia had violated the right to freedom of assembly of activists seeking to hold pride events in Moscow in recent years.

The fear of being gay and Ugandan

MaryAlex — Fri, 22 Oct 2010 14:27:48 +0100

Being known to be gay is tough. It is a life of reckless fear, not courage. We do what we do, not because we can, but because there is no other option. From the very first inkling of our sexuality, we learn to hide. And we do hide.

Iranian teenager faces execution for 'false' gay assault charges

mad4vibe — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 14:07:27 +0100

An 18-year-old Iranian man is facing execution over a false sodomy charge, campaigners say.

Ebrahim Hamidi was sentenced to death two years ago at the age of 16 for an unspecified assault on another man.

Although the allegation was withdrawn and the Iranian Supreme Court has rejected the guilty verdict and execution order, a lower provincial court is insisting on Mr Hamidi's execution.

Joakimprojekt`s — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:51:31 +0100

I'm an independent. I'm neither left nor right. Or both if you want. I want redistributive justice but not the Nanny State. Diversity but not tolerance of intolerance. Tradition but not inequality and bigotry. Law and order but not discrimination of minorities. Freedom but not license. Democracy promotion but not imperialism. I do believe that almost every problem in life can be reduced to a problem about HUMAN RIGHTS. Human rights are my philosophical passion.

Gay sex decriminalised in India

benc — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 09:16:48 +0100

A court in the Indian capital, Delhi, has ruled that homosexual intercourse between consenting adults is not a criminal act.

The ruling overturns a 148-year-old colonial law which describes a same-sex relationship as an "unnatural offence".

Bloody Discrimination - The gay blood ban

robwho2 — Mon, 18 May 2009 15:13:33 +0100

With many other countries having already changed their outdated and discriminatory blood policies – why can Britain, a country which apparently prides itself in its acceptance of diversity, now not do the same? I see there as something wrong when someone, through no choice they have made, is forced to fight in order to be allowed to help another human being..

Gay rights, modern art and why Belfast is 10 years behind Glasgow

Patrick Corrigan — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 19:50:18 +0100

In so many ways Glasgow is like a bigger version of Belfast. Victorian-era architecture. Heavy industrial heritage. Revamped waterfront. A drinking culture that loves its hops, but has learned to embrace the coffee bean. And, of course, an unhealthy dose of sectarianism beneath – or not as the case may be – the surface.

But I fear Scotland's biggest city is still about ten years ahead of Belfast when it comes to the public promotion of gay rights through such an edgy contemporary art exhibition.

Raped and killed for being a lesbian: South Africa ignores 'corrective' attacks | World news | guardian.co.uk

The partially clothed body of Eudy Simelane, former star of South Africa's acclaimed Banyana Banyana national female football squad, was found in a creek in a park in Kwa Thema, on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Simelane had been gang-raped and brutally beaten before being stabbed 25 times in the face, chest and legs. As well as being one of South Africa's best-known female footballers, Simelane was a voracious equality rights campaigner and one of the first women to live openly as a lesbian in Kwa Thema.
