Even tourists could face prison under Uganda’s proposed anti-gay laws – Los Angeles Times

An admission of being gay could result in a lengthy prison sentence, leaving many in this country’s small but tightly knit gay community living in terror and considering fleeing. The law also criminalizes the failure to report people suspected of participating in homosexuality activity, putting friends, former partners — even supportive parents — at risk of going to jail for remaining silent.

The assault on abortion rights isn’t about babies. This is about power – Los Angeles Times

“Misogyny amongst certain parts of our culture knows no bounds,” state Sen. Nancy Skinner, a Berkeley Democrat and head of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus, told me. I can’t argue. We are, as she put it, in a “dark age” where hatred of women is “insidious and couched in morality.”

Among so many situations

In this existence lived

In no case should we have

formed the expectation

Let the wind take

Let the tide carry

Only the future will tell …

The pure and beautiful truth

That every day unfolds

Is that we have no control

about nothing

about nobody

Every time we expect

Anguish to ourselves we cause

Let’s leave everything in the hands of the All

fulfilling the journey

With optimism, generosity

Receiving life with joy

And love を 車

” Todos os dias, a vida transporta um punhado de esperança para que se possa sonhar. É assim que acontece: com os olhos mais puros e pensamentos longe, a emoção e a coragem vem em forma de sorrisos rejubila-se com a verdade, fortalecendo sempre o desejo de chegar aonde se espera “
