Good- Scotland’s Boys in Blue Fly Rainbow over Police HQ
Now, as proof, if it were needed, of changing times, the force is flying the rainbow flag of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community above the HQ in Fettes Avenue.Lothian and Borders Police, which was named Scotland's best employer for lesbian, gay and bisexual people earlier this year, raised the flag to mark LGBT History Month.
Chief Inspector David Lyle, who campaigns for gay rights in the force, said: "The contribution of LGBT people is often forgotten or ignored. It's great the police are able to recognize those efforts."It sends out the message of support to staff members and the wider public that the force is committed to diversity and equality.
Bad – Brazilian Gay Rights Activist and President of Sao Paulo’s Gay Pride Assoc was hospitalized after “anti-gay” attack at his office. He was gagged, hooded and beaten by unknown number of attackers.
In September LGBT activists in Brazil spoke about the high levels of homophobia in their society in the wake of the brutal sexual assault and murder of a gay teenager.
Ugly – The Face of Homophobia speaks a thousands words. Salt Lake resident Cristy Gleaves testifying before the Senate Health and Human Services about domestic partnership registry. And on the right, Utah’s anti gay Senator Chris Buttars, who want to black the registry from going into effect. How would you like to kiss that“Freddy Krueger” hateful face?
