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. "También estamos discontinuando o redireccionando fondos para ciertos programas adicional...

Texas GOP Endorses 'Reparative Therapy' for Gays

The Texas Republican Party now endorses so-called " reparative therapy " for gays, under a new platform given final approval at its annual convention Saturday. The new anti-gay language never came up for debate before roughly 7,000 delegates ratified a Texas GOP platform that tea party groups succeeded in pushing further to the right, including winning a harder line on immigrationTexas GOP Endorses 'Reparative Therapy' for Gays One influential tea party group called Texas Eagle Forum had urged the party to support psychological treatments that seek to turn gay people straight. It comes after Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie last fall signed a law banning such therapies on minors, and California has a similar law. The Fort Worth Convention Hall cheered when party leaders announced that Christie finished a distant 11th in a 2016 presidential straw poll. "There's a very, very small group of people who want to keep the p...

Lets talk about drag!

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 the...

Atacan a transexual en el metro de Atlanta, Georgia, USA y la gente aplaude

Atacan a transexual en el metro y la gente aplaude More Sharing Services Compartir Cuando una persona es víctima de violencia física y sexual, es común que la ciudadanía se indigne. Esto no pasó en Atlanta, donde dos transexuales afroamericanas fueron atacadas mientras la gente aplaudía y grababa el abuso en sus teléfonos. Sucedió en los trenes MARTA, que forman parte del sistema de transporte de aquella ciudad. El video se volvió viral en Flyvids.com, informó el portal TheGaVoice. Allí se ve cómo una mujer es acosada verbalmente por un hombre, quien le lanza una patada. Cuando una amiga, otra mujer trans, intenta defenderla, es atacada por otro hombre, lo que lleva a una violenta pelea. Lamentablemente, nadie intentó detener la violencia.

Puerto Rican Wants Same-Sex Marriages Recognized

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico March 26, 2014 (AP) By DANICA COTO Associated Press   A Puerto Rico attorney who married her longtime partner on the U.S. mainland has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to have their marriage recognized in her home territory. The lawsuit comes as the debate on gay rights intensifies in Puerto Rico, where legislators and religious groups have recently clashed on several issues. The suit filed Tuesday by attorney Ada Conde challenges the constitutionality of Puerto Rican laws that define marriage as between a man and a woman, as well as those that prohibit same-sex marriage and the recognition of such marriages. Conde said she has been in a relationship for nearly 14 years with Ivonne Alvarez, an accountant and financial adviser whom she married in Massachusetts in August 2004. "We wish to enjoy the same social privileges and contractual rights ... and not to be treated as we are being treated as second-class citizens," she said....

Pastor de la Iglesia de la Reforma y otros, envenenan con su homofobia a FROZEN

Imagen
Desde que se estrenó el pasado mes de noviembre, la película de animación "Frozen", producida por Disney, se ha convertido en un enorme éxito de taquilla, al recaudar más de US$1.000 millones en todo el mundo. Pero la buena acogida que "Frozen" ha tenido entre el público y la crítica no ha sentado bien a todo el mundo en Estados Unidos, particularmente a algunos comentaristas conservadores, que aseguran que la película "tiene una agenda gay". En unas declaraciones que han corrido como la pólvora por internet, el pastor Kevin Swanson, de la Iglesia de la Reforma, denunció a través de su programa de radio que se emite en Colorado que el filme es "maléfico" y que Disney "es una de la organizaciones más progay del país". "A veces uno se pregunta si aquí está ocurriendo algo maléfico… Me pregunto si la gente está pensando: 'Creo que esta preciosa pequeña película va a adoctrinar a mi hija de 5 años para que sea lesbian...

Big Business to Arizona: Gay Discrimination Bill Bad for Economy

BY  MIRANDA LEITSINGER Apple, American Airlines and Marriott delivered a message to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday: State legislation allowing companies to discriminate against gays on religious grounds would be bad for business. The conservative Republican governor is facing growing pressure over the bill, which the statehouse passed last Thursday.  Opponents  have called it "state-sanctioned discrimination" and an embarrassment. Apple and a slew of big-name firms issued letters and made phone calls to Brewer on Monday telling her the state would take a financial hit if the law passed, according to CNBC. Apple is just about to open large new glass manufacturing plant in Mesa, Arizona. Marriott, meanwhile, noted that their bottom-line could suffer as a result of the bill. This measure "would have profound negative impacts on the hospitality industry on the Arizona and on the state's overall economic climate for years to come," the hotel ...

Religious Right in Arizona Cheers Bill Allowing Businesses to Refuse to Serve Gays

Now, as states around the nation weigh how to balance the rights of same-sex couples with those of conservative religious business owners, Gov.

Related Coverage Bill Viewed as Anti-Gay Is Passed in Arizona FEB. 20, 2014 The legislation, approved by lawmakers on Thursday , immediately attracted national attention, with conservative religious groups welcoming it as a necessary form of protection for objectors to same-sex marriage , and gay rights groups denouncing it as a license for discrimination. The measure comes at a time when the courts are grappling with how to define the religious rights of private businesses: The Supreme Court is to hear two cases next month in which businesses are seeking exemptions from providing insurance cove...

Gobierno federal reconocerá matrimonios gay en todos los Estados de EEUU.

El secretario de Justicia estadounidense Eric Holder anunciará que el gobierno federal reconocerá los matrimonios del mismo sexo, incluso en los 34 estados que no consideran legal ese tipo de unión, dijeron medios de prensa en EEUU. CNN reveló que posee extractos de un discurso que Holder pronunciará esta noche en la gala de Nueva York de la Campaña de Derechos Humanos. Holder planea anunciar que el Departamento de Justicia emitirá un memorando el lunes que reconoce los matrimonios entre personas del mismo sexo "en la mayor medida que permita la ley”. La movida es la más reciente de una serie de acciones tras la sentencia de la Corte Suprema de EE.UU. en junio, que anuló una parte clave de la Ley de Defensa del Matrimonio, que había impedido al gobierno federal reconocer los matrimonios del mismo sexo legalmente válidos. http://www.metro.pr/mundo/gobierno-federal-reconocera-matrimonios-gay-en-todos-los-estados/pGXnbh!qpztIY63CGKY/
