Photo by Alvin Mahmudov on Unsplash That fight for marriage equality goes on. Unfortunately, Supreme Court rulings aren’t the end-all solution in the fight for marriage equality. As we discovered earlier this week with American indigenous people, there are legal exemptions and technicalities that can overrule a Supreme Court Ruling bringing in gay marriage to wide areas and nations like the U.S. Unfortunately, the same can be said for Mexico. According to Fronteras and Rio Salado College’s KJZZ, there are many...

The country had its first Gay Pride parade in the city of Bialystok, but the 1,000 people decorated in rainbow colors were unfortunately met with thousands of anti-LGBTQ protesters. And some were more violent than others. As the march went by, it passed signs and shouts comparing gay people to pedophiles. One section of the day even included stoning by...

Screenshot via YouTube @Polish Gay Pride marchers defy stone-throwing hooligans | AFP Poland is becoming an increasingly hostile place for LGBTQ people. Bialystok, Poland had its first gay pride, but the 1,000 people decorated in rainbow colors were unfortunately met with thousands of anti-LGBTQ protesters. And some were more violent than others. This is a far cry from Poland’s first pride which was in Parada Rownosci in Warsaw last year, attracting over 50,000 people and happening without any major incidents. As...

Photo by Jack Sharp on Unsplash We’ve got ourselves a Bermuda situation where anti-gay politicians can’t take no for an answer. Last month, we shared with you that the African country of Botswana legalized gay sex after its High Court voted that the colonial era laws were unconstitutional. Unfortunately, some conservative politicians aren’t letting this battle end. Just as the island nation of Bermuda became a political tug-of-war after its own high court chose to legalize gay marriage to the disgust of...

Photo by Dimitri de Vries on Unsplash Two gay men are at the center of a trial because they adopted children in Russia. Russia’s Investigative Committee announced on Wednesday that it has opened an unprecedented criminal case against two Moscow social workers. The government is upset that the officials allowed a gay couple to adopt two boys back in 2010, according to AFP. “Nothing like this has happened before,” said lawyer Maksim Olenichev of Vykhod (Coming Out) support group based in the...

Screen shot from Matt Miller’s YouTube Video, “What Is The Biggest Threat To Gay Rights?”Matt Miller of the Daily Caller took to DC Pride this weekend and shared his findings when he asked Pride attendees “What is the biggest threat to gay rights?” Many of the participants seemed to have some liquid or plant courage when answering the questions, but some were eloquent in their statements.  The answers boiled down to:  Straight People, White...

Photo by Nathaniel Tetteh on UnsplashA change is coming to Africa. While Kenya’s High Court has decided to keep laws against gay sex in the country, the country of Botswana has made the opposite decision. Botswana’s High Court has ruled to end colonial-era laws criminalizing sex between members of the same sex. Section 164 of Botswana’s Penal Code stated that “carnal knowledge of any person against the order of nature,” was an offense...

Photo by Alvin Mahmudov on UnsplashIs Russia changing for the better? Currently, Russia is considered a fairly toxic environment for LGBTQ people. Its government is anti-LGBTQ and even uses a non-LGBTQ propaganda law to ban sharing LGBTQ content online and even in person. The law is also used to prohibit large gatherings of LGBTQ people (with the excuse that youth could be corrupted). But a new survey says a rising change is coming...

Stock Photo / Image via PexelsKenya is currently awaiting what could be a historic and country changing decision. Kenya’s High Court is about to announce its ruling on whether or not homosexuality should be decriminalized across the country. Currently, people convicted of gay sex face up to 14 years of prison. And despite general tolerance for LGBTQ people, some Kenyan citizens take the law into their own hands by attacking gay people. Friday’s court ruling in Nairobi, however, could start...

Evan Low / Image via Facebook @AssemblymemberlowIt looks like the state of California has shelved two more LGBT rights bills, and they won’t be reintroduced until 2020. Last year, we shared with you that Evan Low’s bill against paid gay conversion therapy had been put on hold. The openly gay state assemblyman said that the decision was based on tough pushback from the Christian community, and he wanted to find a way to serve them and his LGBTQ constitutes. ...
