EE.UU. impone sanciones a Uganda por sus leyes homofóbicas

telesur Jueves 19 de Junio de 2014, 04:58 pm El gobierno de los Estados Unidos impuso este jueves una serie de sanciones a Uganda tras considerar que la legislación de ese país "va en contra de los derechos humanos universales y complica nuestra relación bilateral", según un comunicado emitido por la Casa Blanca. El presidente de Uganda, Yoweri Museveni, firmó en febrero una ley que prevé la condena a cadena perpetua para los homosexuales que persistan en sus prácticas, obliga a las personas a denunciar a los gays ante las autoridades y declara ilegal la promoción de la homosexualidad. Por tal motivo, el gobierno norteaméricano ha decidio negarle la entrada a EE.UU. a los oficiales ugandeses involucrados en "abusos de los derechos humanos", incluidos aquellos contra la comunidad homosexual, detalló la portavoz del Consejo de Seguridad Nacional, Caitlin Hayden.

The 11 Most Common Drag Queen Styles The world seems to be obsessed with drag queens; RuPaul’s Drag Race had a record number of viewers for season 6 and articles have been popping up all over the Internet calling it “the best reality show on TV.” If you think about it, it’s all for good reason! The show has “5 G’s,” as Latrice Royale from Drag Race Season 4 might say: glitz, glamour, gossip, grit, and girls (well, “girls”). With Drag being such a unique art form, having endless possibilities of looks and transformations, there always seems to be an argument about “how its supposed to be done.” I for one believe that there is no certain or correct way to do drag. As public characters or personas, us drag queens get to decide (on our own) the type of drag we choose to represent our own style. They are so many types of drag queens: faux, androgyny, fish, club, goth, pageant and the list goes on and on. I am obsessed with them all. I tend to incorporate many of these styles
