[España] Zerolo: el PP no está invitado a la celebración del Día del Orgullo Gay 2010 El concejal socialista Pedro Zerolo afirmó hoy que el PP no está invitado a la celebración del Día del Orgullo Gay 2010 en Madrid porque siguen sin apostar por la igualdad". Durante su intervención en el Pleno del Ayuntamiento de Madrid, Zerolo aseguró que "nadie invitó al Ayuntamiento de Tel Aviv a participar", sino que "apareció de repente, de la mano del embajador de Israel", que pertenece a un "gobierno ultraconservador". Dirigiéndose a la delegada de Familia y Servicios Sociales, Concepción Dancausa, Zerolo le espetó que tampoco "el PP está invitado a la celebración del orgullo, porque siguen sin apostar por la igualdad" de los hombres y mujeres y agregó que "algunos nunca olvidaremos el calvario que nos han hecho pasar" durante los últimos cinco años.
[UK] Site do "Fantástico" resgata reportagem sobre casal transexual inglês O site da TV Globo, o "Globo.com", anda prestando um serviço interessante à memória televisiva do país: a seção "Especiais" resgata diversas reportagens e preciosidades da emissora.

[Uganda] Homosexuals Are Still Under Siege in Uganda The slight man in front of me with delicate features and dressed in a cream-colored linen shirt hardly seems like the man Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni knows not to arrest. But gay activist Frank Mugisha is a respected enemy of the state. Because he’s a public figure, the police can’t simply hold him; instead, they must follow the letter of the law, which only allows for the arrest of gays caught in sexual acts.

[Pakistan] Aziz and her dignity (a Boing Boing guest-dispatch from Pakistan) Last week, my uncle took me to meet one of his old neighborhood's infamous icons, Aziz Mamoo. She lives in a small one bedroom shack located in the heart of a very disturbed ghetto. Aziz Mamoo is transgendered or, as they're known in South Asia, a hijrah. At the age of 11, she was kicked out of her house by her brothers and found refuge with the local hijrah guru, Hajji Iqbal. Iqbal took her in and taught the young Aziz how to sing and dance. Every town in Karachi has a designated guru who is in charge of the hijrahs in their area. The guru becomes both the mother and father to their communities hijrahs. The local guru feeds them, provides them shelter, and teaches them how to pray and live a modest life. When there is a birth of a child that is transgendered, some families leave the infant at the guru's doorstep. After the death of Hajji Iqbal, Aziz Mamoo became the local guru of her neighborhood. Countless babies have been left at her doorstep and though she has very little to offer, she never turns them away. The two kids that live with her now are Ashi and Nighat. Many more lived with her before, but she kicked them out after they started doing, as she calls it, "number two work." 'Number two work' is a euphemism for prostitution and it's become a common job for many hijrahs in Karachi. (Photo: Bassam Tariq - Aziz Mamoo, center, sits on her charpoi with her two daughters, Ashi, left, and Nighat.)

[Turkey] Istanbul’s First Trans Pride – July 13, 2010 Instead of photographing Istanbul’s main pride event, Sarah had read about a small group holding a separate Transgender Pride. This was to be a first in Istanbul, with the march being held to bring awareness to hate crimes and discrimination faced by the transgender community living there. Transgenders are a minority in a minority, and one major problem is that they are often looked upon as outsiders by their local gay communities. This can often make the resources available to the gay community not as focused on the needs and requirements of transgender individuals.

She says it especially happens in the workplace.

She says she changed career four times in the last 20 years, because many employers would not hire her.
