PHILIPPINES. Nation’s first transgender lawmaker looks into legalizing same-sex unions: “”Iba ang same-sex marriage kasi yung term, first of all, is very controversial. There are certain sectors in our society that want an exclusive hold on that term, let them keep that term. What we want are the civil rights as well as privileges and obligations of a marriage. We can call it civil union.”

TANZANIA. Top official says country will never lift ban on same-sex marriage: “The Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Constitutional Affairs and Justice, Mr Amon Mpanju, made the remarks in Dar es Salaam yesterday at the Second Universal Periodic Review Recommendations- Civil Society Feedback Session and Development Follow up Strategies Workshop. ‘While you are discussing, you should note that the government will never entertain recommendations that are contrary with the law of the land and the cultural norms of the society.’ stressed Mr Mpanju.”

REJOICING. $100,000 Pyramid is back.

PATHETIC. NOM’s Brian Brown says fight against same-sex marriage will continue for decades. “It’s going to take years, maybe decades, but we need a movement that has this march to be a living symbol year in and year out that we’re here, we’re not going away, and we’re growing.”
