Gay activists attack Ugandan preacher's porn slideshow

A Ugandan pastor who screened same-sex pornography in a church to try to bolster support for proposed anti-homosexuality legislation has been condemned by gay rights groups.

Explaining his decision to display the images, the evangelical preacher said it was necessary to educate people "about what homosexuals do".

Cuba y Venezuela firman un acuerdo para promover el respeto a las personas LGTB

Aprovechando la clausura del Congreso Cubano de Educación, Orientación y Terapia Sexual, del que informábamos hace unos días, Cuba y Venezuela firmaron el pasado viernes un acuerdo de colaboración en educación sexual que entre otros objetivos busca impulsar el respeto a los derechos de los homosexuales y combatir la homofobia como políticas de Estado en ambos países.

En virtud del acuerdo, el Centro Nacional de Educación Sexual de Cuba (CENESEX), dirigido por Mariela Castro, capacitará a unos 800 funcionarios de la Defensoría del Pueblo de Venezuela en temas de diversidad sexual e identidad de género. La intención es que el acuerdo se haga extensivo a otros países del ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para las Américas), un mecanismo de integración regional del que forman parte además Bolivia, Nicaragua o Ecuador.
