A golpe de calendario
De pequeño me enseñaron que estaba muy feo ofender a los demás. Y que más rechazable todavía era hacerlo de manera gratuita y contra alguien que no va a contestar a la ofensa. Claro que yo recibí una educación cavernícola, donde me inculcaron valores como el respeto al prójimo, la disciplina, el sacrificio y el orden. Será por eso que he sentido indignación y pena viendo el ‘calendario laico’ con el que la Federación de Gays, Lesbianas, Transexuales y Bisexuales de Madrid representa de manera irreverente escenas de la iconografía cristiana. Coronas celestiales con forma de pene, transexuales medio desnudos/as suplantando a la Virgen María, preservativos a modo de brocados sobre túnicas de santos son algunas de las escenas con las que este colectivo pretende la sustitución de las festividades religiosas por celebraciones sociales. Entre otras ‘genialidades’ proponen que el 25 de diciembre, Navidad, se coma turrón por el Día Internacional de la Democracia.

Bill targets hate crimes
When people hear about hate crimes happening, they normally picture it in another state or city, not anywhere close to home.
Kent State, however, was the location of a hate crime about three years ago.
In February 2006, former PRIDE! Kent president Angela Wicks was assaulted when she was walking on front campus to a friend's apartment between 2 and 3 a.m., said PRIDE! Kent vice president Trae Ruscin at their meeting Thursday.

The Washington Post Cross-Dressing Shoplifting Story Misfires
Yesterday, the Washington Post published a story about two shoplifting suspects who were shot over the weekend by a Prince George’s County police officer. The suspects were shot after they attempted to drive away with the officer’s arm lodged in the door of their getaway car. But the Post story was not concerned with the facts of this botched escape—the newspaper had already covered the particulars of the incident a day earlier. The follow-up amounted to a lengthy correction of one fact: the gender of the wounded suspects.

La idea es ampliar el debate para retirar a la transexualidad de la lista de trastornos de la OMS y la APA, contribuyendo con ello a aminorar a la discriminación. Se sensibilizará a comunicadores sociales y estudiantes de esa área, así como a la ciudadanía en su conjunto. El 19 por ciento de los casos de discriminación contra la diversidad sexual, han dañado en Chile a transexuales.
