Judith Light isn't gay, is she? I know she's a huge activist on LGBT issues, but I thought she's straight.

Or is there a joke there I'm not getting?

Judith Light is an awesome gay ally. She happens to be heterosexual though.

OMG.

Uganda wants to execute gays, and their families and friends face 7 years in prison if they don't disclose them to authorities.

I have no words.

I have words, but LoT will * them out.

If you watch Rachel Maddow, she's been on that story for a while now Some of the stuff around The Family feels a bit too Dan Brown to me but she's been drawing some interesting connections between that story and some significant American politicians (and also with the Stupak Amendment in the House version of the healthcare bill).

Apparently the death penalty part is being taken out. Still criminalizes homosexuality, though.

Just because it is slightly apropos of a previous conversation it is worth pointing out that this is a Christian country (a coworker here just jumped to the conclusion that its a Muslim country) that was going to pass this before international limelight changed their mind.

The legislation has drawn global attention from activists across the spectrum of views on gay issues. The measure was proposed in Uganda following a visit by leaders of U.S. conservative Christian ministries that promote therapy for gays to become heterosexual. However, at least one of those leaders has denounced the bill, as have some other conservative and liberal Christians in the United States.

Well no wonder, the Ugandans are hanging with a bad crowd.
