So yes, it's high time that we have a Disney movie in which a princess marries a princess. And a prince marries a prince. And a plumber marries a schoolteacher — for crying out loud, why must everyone be royal and rich?!
But of course I want to see children's films go a step further and actively reflect the full, positive diversity of families in America today -- including gay families like mine. After all, we're talking about Hollywood -- land of the gays and those who love them! Is this really too much to ask? Gay rights are sweeping the globe, supported morally and politically by an overwhelming majority of Americans.........Sally Kohn
A new study published ahead of the World Economic Forum conference in Davos, Switzerland, says that the richest 85 people in the world share a total wealth of about $1.64 trillion (£1 trillion), as much as what the poorest half — 3.5 billion — of the world’s people own.
The study (full report) found that the wealth of the word's 1 percent richest people is about $115 trillion, 46 percent of global wealth and about 65 times the wealth of the poorest half of the world's people.
Canadian government has denied cancelling President Goodluck Jonathan’s visit to the country.
Canada through its embassy in Abuja debunked media reports that it cancelled a scheduled visit of the president because he signed the anti-gay law.
In an exclusive interview with our correspondent, the Canadian Counselor in Abuja, Ms. Alexandra Mackenzie said there was no scheduled visit of Jonathan to the country.
According to prosecutors, a 22-year-old college student secretly filmed himself having unprotected sex with as many as 31 people, knowingly exposing them to HIV.
In October, Michael Johnson, a student and former wrestler at Lindenwood University in Missouri, was charged with five felony counts of exposing partners to HIV. Some time later, police discovered the sex tapes—reportedly filmed with hidden cameras—stored on Johnson's laptop. Prosecutors disclosed the discovery on Friday.
"On that laptop were 32 videos engaged in sexual acts with Mr. Johnson," said Tim Lohmar, a St. Charles County prosecutor, told KMOV, adding that the tapes showed Johnson having sex with 31 partners over four months in his dorm at Lindenwood.
Lohmar also said that it's unlikely the partners knew about Johnson's HIV positive status.
Johnson, known online as Tiger Mandingo, met his partners—most of whom, if not all, were men—through his six social media accounts (three Facebook pages, two Twitter feeds, a Vine and an Instagram), according to the River Front Times.
POLICE across Nigeria have begun arresting lesbians and gays following President Goodluck Jonathan's recent signing into law of a new Draconian bill that makes being homosexual an offence punishable for 14 years in jail.
Earlier this month, President Jonathan put his signature to the controversial Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Bill into law. Condemned internationally as a fundamental breach of human rights, the law stipulates that anyone convicted of engaging in a same sex marriage is liable to serve 14 years in prison, while anyone aiding or abetting such relationships faces a 10 year jail term.
Human rights groups like Amnesty International have widely condemned the law as an infraction of Nigeria's human rights obligations and gay rights campaigners plan to picket Nigeria's high commissions and embassies worldwide.
Also, the campaigners are calling on Nigeria's trading partners to boycott Nigerian goods and spurn tourism with the country. Defiant, however, the Nigerian authorities have stepped up their campaign against homosexuals and so far this week, the police in Bauchi have arrested 38 people suspected of being gay.
It is likely that they will be charged under the new law in what will be a controversial trial attracting international attention.
At a conference in California it was confirmed Kiefer Sutherland will reprsie his role as the special agent for a new 12-epsiode series set and shot in London.
Using the tag-line ‘Live Another Day’, FOX producers told the audience at 2014 Television Critics Association Press Tour it picks up events four years on, with Bauer evading the FBI.
The hugely-successful show, which ran for 192 episodes between 2001 and 2010, had a distinctive real-time format, with interweaving plotlines and a countdown towards the heroic counter-terrorist saving the day, making it an iconic piece of television.
But Sutherland, 47, admitted to being nervous about bringing 24 back.
“I’m about as anxious and wound up as I’ve been in a long time,” he said.
“There’s a great impetus for all of us to create something new with the show.”
Filming in the capital will take place in February, but the actor is not expecting a warm welcome, telling the conference: “I’m sure we’ll be hated by a large portion of London for snarling up their traffic here and there, and for that I apologise in advance.”
