In Uganda, where homosexuality is illegal and LGBT people are forced to live their lives in secret over fears of violence and murder, a British playwright and producers are staging the country’s first gay-themed play.
The River and the Mountain, written by Beau Hopkins, is a tragicomic portrait of a gay businessman in the East African nation. According to The Washington Post:
The main character is a 29-year-old corporate businessman whose mother desperately wants him to get married. The woman pays a Christian pastor to “cure” her son after she learns of his homosexuality. When the cleric fails to achieve her objective, she wants her money back. Then she enlists the services of a private dancer and, finally, a witchdoctor. She never succeeds in her mission.
At his workplace, the gay character’s employees are so shocked to learn he is gay that they wonder aloud, “But he is a good man.” In the end their new hatred for their boss overpowers any affection they previously felt for him, and the play ends as they swing machetes, baying for his blood.
Not only were producers prohibited from producing the play at Uganda’s national theater, but they couldn’t even hang posters publicizing it there. As a result, The River and the Mountain debuted at a little-known theater in the country’s capital, Kampala, last Friday amid fears of a police raid.
The play could still see the national theater stage if government censors authorize it, though that’s a big “if.” Uganda signed a law three years ago proposing the death penalty for so-called “aggravated homosexuality,” while last year prominent activist David Kato was murdered after being publicly outed by a national tabloid.
In the face of all this violence and oppression, August has nonetheless been a month of firsts for the Ugandan LGBT community with gay activists previously holding their first pride parade. Gay activist Pepe Julian Onziema called the staging of the play “revolutionary,” telling The Washington Post, “I think it’s time that we opened our minds to the things happening in our midst.”
The play’s producers and directors plan to bring The River and the Mountain to other East African countries in hopes to “normalize the gay character” in the region.

KEY WEST, Fla. -- Her goal of swimming from Cuba to Florida appearing elusive, Diana Nyad was out of the water Tuesday morning, being checked by doctors on a boat and discussing whether she could return to a fourth day of swimming.
Nyad emerged from the water at 7:42 a.m. A team member, Vanessa Linsley, said the swimmer was battered by a rough night and was unsure if she would be able to finish the 103-mile crossing.
"Instead of getting hit with one doozy they got hit with three," Linsley said, "They got hit with the weather, they got hit with the jellyfish and they got hit with the sharks all at the same time."
She continued: "They are discussing with Diana as to how she wants to proceed."
Nyad, who turns 63 on Wednesday, was making her third attempt since last summer to become the first person to cross the Florida Straits without a shark cage. She also made a failed try with a cage in 1978.

Conceived and produced by Full Frontal Freedom, the vid takes on Romney’s legendary off-shore accounts, Super Pac, various tax shelters and other shady dealings that “everyone else but Fox News” can see. Being politically-conscious never looked so good or sounded so damn catchy.

If you thought you got an eyeful of Shia LaBeouf’s naked body in the video for Sigur Ros’ “Fjögur Píanó”, the outspoken actor has announced he’ll be filming unsimulated sex scenes in Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac, which begins shooting in September.
Talking to MTV News, the Transformers star said:
“It is what you think it is. There’s a disclaimer at the top of the script that basically says, we’re doing [the sex] for real. And anything that is ‘illegal’ will be shot in blurred images. But other than that, everything is happening.”
Illegal? What does that mean? Last time we checked, filming people having actual sex is perfectly legal. There’s, like, a whole billion-dollar industry for it.
Maybe there’s some really freaky stuff in Nymphonmaniac we don’t wanna know about, or maybe LaBeouf’s a little too in his head and doesn’t know what he’s saying (we’d opt for the latter). Whether softcore or hard, the film is also rumored to star Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Nicole Kidman.
Above is the video of LaBeouf’s comments—keep an eye on his Lawless co-star Jessica Chastain and her reaction. It’s priceless.

Now that “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has been repealed, military gays can start asking and telling as much as they want. Capitalizing on this newfound freedom, Outmilitary.com has launched the first mobile hook-up app for the men and women of the armed forces.
“While gay service members no longer have to violate their oath of honesty and integrity in order to serve, knowing who is gay on base or aboard ship can be nearly impossible,” Outmilitary.com creator John McKinnon told Virtual Strategy Magazine. “Now, the app gives them a powerful tool to find and connect with one another right on their smartphone, they can literally ‘see’ other gay service members on their base, ship, wherever.”
So basically take Grindr, put it in a uniform and call it a gay. The app is available for iPhones, iPads and Android devices and comes in 16 languages including English, Spanish and Chinese. Because whether abroad or at home, the libido wants what the libido wants.

A Moscow court on Friday (Aug. 17) found three members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" after a guerrilla performance in Moscow's main cathedral in February. They were sentenced to two years in a penal colony.

(RNS/ENInews) A Moscow court on Friday (Aug. 17) found three members of the feminist punk band Pussy Riot guilty of "hooliganism motivated by religious hatred" after a guerrilla performance in Moscow's main cathedral in February. They were sentenced to two years in a penal colony.

The band performed a "punk prayer" against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill I.

The case has divided Russia and the Orthodox Church and drawn worldwide protests on behalf of the band and free speech. Outside the courtroom, protesters clashed with police and well-known chess champion Garry Kasparov was arrested during the protests.

The charges against Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Maria Alyokhina and Yekaterina Samutsevich had carried up to seven years in prison, and the prosecutor had demanded at least three years for the women, who range in age from 22 to 30.

Judge Maria Syrova said that she did not accept the defendants' explanation that Christ the Savior Cathedral is not a church but a commercial enterprise because of businesses that operate there.

During the trial, which began last month, the defendants explained that they were opposed to Kirill's support of Putin, who returned to the Kremlin after winning the March 4 presidential elections in the face of protests claiming voting irregularities.

Kirill has been silent on the case for several months after leading a prayer service in April to pray for deliverance from persecution of the church.

Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin, spokesman for the Moscow Patriarchate, has said the church is ready to forgive members of Pussy Riot if they repent.

"If someone insults me personally, then of course I will forgive them," Chaplin told the RIA Novosti news agency last month. "But if someone insults my faith or my God, I wait until they change their position and admit that they acted wrongly."

In the performance, the musicians walked into the cathedral, donned brightly colored hoods and began to gesticulate and dance in front of the altar. Their actions were filmed as a video and set to music with the lyrics "O Birthgiver of God, Get Rid of Putin" and an expletive as a refrain.

The video went viral, shocking many Russians and infuriating the Kremlin and the Orthodox hierarchy, but also setting off a debate in the church about the role of forgiveness and mercy in Orthodoxy.

Following the anger that quickly ensued after a Russian judge found punk band Pussy Riot guilty on hooliganism charges on Friday, New York City activists staged their support for the three female members of the band.
Six protestors were reportedly arrested for blocking traffic and wearing maks during the show of support.
Among protestors were Occupy Wall Street members and other free speech activists who organized a "punk prayer" session outside St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Cathedral on the Upper East Side.
The Pussy Riot trial has provoked outrage from members of the international community who have condemned the harsh two-year sentencing handed down by Judge Marina Syrova on Friday.
The three women of Pussy Riot were arrested in March after staging an anti-Putin performance at Moscow's main cathedral, where they sang lyrics begging the Orthodox Church to save Russia from President Vladimir Putin.
Since the arrest, a global campaign, which included many high-profile names like Paul McCartney and Bjork, voiced their condemnation of the charges.
On the eve of Friday's verdict, a group of musicians, supporters and feminists organized a reading at the Ace Hotel in New York to also show their support for the young women. Karen Finley and Chloë Sevigny were also in attendance.

Верховный суд России отклонил жалобу на запрет "пропаганды гомосексуализма" | Pussy Riot: всем - по два года колонии

Верховный суд России отклонил жалобу на запрет "пропаганды гомосексуализма"

  

 

Верховный суд России отклонил жалобу на запрет "пропаганды гомосексуализма"

Верховный суд России отклонил жалобу на решение Архангельского областного суда 22 мая 2012 года о законности введения запрета на так называемую "пропаганду гомосексуализма". Заявителем была Татьяна Винниченко, руководитель ЛГБТ-организации "Ракурс" (Архангельск). Как сообщает "Российская ЛГБТ-сеть", заседание состоялось 15 августа. Пока готова только резолютивная часть решения Верховного суда России, мотивировочная появится позже.

Фактически Верховный суд России одобрил ограничение конституционных прав граждан. Законы о так называемой "пропаганде гомосексуализма" среди несовершеннолетних используются для ограничения свободного распространения информации о положении и проблемах геев, лесбиянок, бисексуалов и трансгендеров, они создают почву для систематического нарушения прав человека в России.

Валерий Созаев ("Российская ЛГБТ-сеть") считает, что "Верховный суд России в своем правовом нигилизме ушел недалеко от Архангельского областного суда...". "В этой связи интересно, какие решения им будут приняты по аналогичным жалобам из других регионов", - добавил Созаев.

"Пропаганда гомосексуализма имеет право на существование так же, как и "старушка зонтика", "черепаха метлы", "реализм бедра" или "калькулятор треугольника", - цитирует "...ЛГБТ-сеть" Татьяну Винниченко. - Депутаты областного собрания почему-то сочли информацию о гомосексуальности "наносящей вред здоровью, нравственному и духовному развитию ребенка", однако аргументов, подтверждающих обоснованность такого вывода, суду предоставлено не было".

Напомним, законы о запрете так называемой "гомопропаганды" действуют в 7 регионах России. Готовятся к принятию, по меньшей мере, в 5 регионах, а также на федеральном уровне. По мнению правозащитников, они используются для ограничения целого ряда конституционных прав граждан - в том числе свободу собраний, слова и так далее.

    Facebook Makes Big Move On Marijuana Reform

    Facebook Makes Big Move On Marijuana Reform:
    Facebook turned over a new leaf Monday, unblocking advertisements promoting a marijuana legalization campaign involving a set of November ballot initiatives across the country.

    The social media giant conceded to Internet freedom advocates over the past week that it had erred in yanking a pro-legalization group's ads from its network because of pot leaf images. Parties involved in the controversy confirmed the Facebook decision to The Huffington Post on Monday.

    Just Say Now organizer Brian Sonenstein told The Huffington Post that the leafy ads were no longer listed as disapproved on Facebook.

    When the online campaign's ads were submitted for review earlier this year, Facebook outright rejected them, as it did the group's ads two years ago. In 2010, Facebook took down Just Say Now's ads after about a week on the social network.

    More than 15,000 supporters signed an online petition calling for Facebook to bring back the latest batch of Just Say Now ads, catching the eye of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Northern California.

    The two free speech groups approached Just Say Now and Students for Sensible Drug Policy — which had found itself in a similar situation — about appealing to Facebook. Electronic Frontier Foundation activism director Rainey Reitman and ACLU staff attorney Linda Lye said they held several discussions with Facebook executives from Wednesday to Friday. Lye said the Facebook representatives were "quick to admit" they had either misinterpreted or failed to follow Facebook advertising guidelines.

    "Their position was very clear -- and we certainly applaud it -- which is that Facebook is a neutral platform," Lye said. "It does not weigh in on political advocacy, and it was a mistake to reject the ads."

    In a statement last week, Facebook spokeswoman Gwendolyn Belomy said the company's advertising policy had not changed.

    "We do allow images of marijuana in ads under circumstances, such as a political debate," Belomy said. "However, we do not allow ads for illegal activity, such as the sale of marijuana."

    Belomy did not respond to a follow-up question on whether Facebook acknowledged a "mistake" in blocking the marijuana leaf ads.

    For some legalization advocates, including Sonenstein, the ads' restoration shows a broader shift in public attitudes toward pot laws.

    "Marijuana's knocking on the door at this point," Sonenstein said. "The initiatives and the campaigns are much stronger this year. Support is where it's never been, at least in the last 30 to 40 years. … It's just one of those things where people are starting to say, 'Well, I guess we better get on one side of this issue or the other,' because public perception is changing."

    Just Say Now, an online campaign started by progressive blog Firedoglake.com, was launched in 2010 to push for ballot initiatives to legalize marijuana in Arizona, Oregon, California, Colorado and South Dakota. This election cycle, Sonenstein said Just Say Now is supporting major pot law reforms in six states.

    When Facebook first pulled the pro-legalization ads in 2010, Firedoglake.com organizer Michael Whitney likened hiding the marijuana leaf to "running a campaign and saying you can't show the candidate's face."

    In a blog post on the ACLU's website Monday morning, Lye praised Facebook's reversal as a "victory for free speech on the Internet." She warned that Facebook's ambition to become the "virtual town square" will be stymied if its advertising policies have built-in censorship.

    "They did the right thing here," Electronic Frontier Foundation's Reitman told The Huffington Post. "But this is just going to keep coming up again and again both on Facebook and other sites as more of our political discussions and our societal discussions kind of move in to these online spaces."

    Sweet Manhattan, a very short story

     

    Sweet Manhattan


    47, still sexy and gorgeous, thin, long legged, bouncy (gym - five times a week); three teenage boys and unconditional worshiper – husband – chiropractor, big house in Queens and psychotherapy practice (“relationships problems, mostly”), and...
    - And, you know, Esther, it's like I don't care any more.
    Esther is a good old friend; one of the very few who still is there.
    - Nothing makes sense; it's just a game. I am a mechanical toy. Someone tightened my spring up and it unwinds itself gradually, through the years; that's all there is in it. The same emptiness, and nothing fills it up.
    - I dig you. Well, I will fill up my glass, - chuckled Esther, waiving to a waiter. - Manhattan; sweet.
    Esther loves her, managing to maintain their closeness with her elegant dry wit, framing her affection with it, as if to hold it firmly in place.
    - So tell me, what happened. Tell me. I know all your mental choreography. I like to watch you dancing. You did not call me for nothing. Who is it this time: Arabian sheik, mobster from Chicago or some local hoodlum?
    -Nothing happened. He went back to school to California. And this time it's different. He is just 26.
    - And how different is it? Oh, there is something serious going on. She kissed the rim of her full sweet Manhattan glass very carefully.
    - A bit too sweet for my taste.

    They met at the Upper East Side bar. She brought him into her spare Manhattan apartment (inherited from her German Jewish grandma – she was her favorite). He pulled out a knife on her after half an hour: “Give me the money!”
    “Sure”, she said, and knocked him out with a karate kick on a head. Sex was great afterward.
    - Well, to make a long story short and sweet, our poor little booby finally found himself a dominatrix; a mommy who can stand up to him, and that what he probably needs. Lucky boy, ah? And who of us is a psychologist, darling, you or me?
    Esther's wild smirk was ennobled by a display of incredibly white and natural looking teeth; a jewelry job, by the best dentist in town.
    - And you are telling me about all this just now, a month after it all ended? You really know how to keep your little secrets, sweety, don't you?
    She laughed again, and this time some overtones of anger and envy popped up in her voice.
    - These waiters here have such horny asses; they all are gays.
    She glanced at them critically.
    They sat at a cafe at MOMA; their usual spot, on a balcony above kouroses, Egyptian mummies and their sarcophagi.
    - And now you miss him. Oh, how sweet of you, darling.
