There is in today’s world an enormous cultural-sexual divide, a severe split in the reactions of human societies toward homosexually oriented people. Religion and politics evoke equally vocal and passionate responses from adherents and opponents. God and State and Homosexuality make people see bliss or red. They make people want to love or kill us!
Brave black lesbian policeman helped save congressman from assassination
I wonder how many good or heroic deeds must LGBT citizens perform to bring about a shift in homophobic minds to see us as equally valid, fully functioning and ‘normal’ in this country–and indeed around the world.

A sweet young girl–a real biological girl–and her team were disqualified from a soccer tournament because the organizers say she looks like a boy! http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/06/06/8-year-old-girls-soccer-team-disqualified-because-she-looks-like-a-boy/
Blind and LGBT?
If you are blind how do you know you are LGBT? Another argument against the absurd myth that homosexuality is learned. Sexual attraction/orientation is a visual experience that emerges from deep within the mind; it is evoked early in development by visual stimuli, by visible attraction toward certain people and away from certain other people.
WorldPride in Madrid 2017

Progressive Gay Activists Push for Relationship Equality in Albania
In 2017 the PRO-LGBT leader Kristi Pinderi (photo attached) announced the rights group will file a lawsuit requesting equal recognition of gay relationships.

More brutality and death to gays in Chechnya

Danger For LGBT People in Many Places: Here is One: Mauritania
On my website GlobalGayz.com I do not have an informative descriptive story about LGBT life in Mauritania. There is virtually nothing about the country’s homosexual citizens on the entire Internet.
