Cabinet office to fly rainbow flag during Pride week	24.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Francis Maude to show commitment to equality agenda by allowing flag to be flown from cabinet office next month Francis Maude is to show the government's commitment to the equality agenda by allowing the rainbow flag to be flown from the cabinet office in Whitehall during Pride week next month. David Cameron has faced criticism for attempting to distance the Tory leadership from gay rights after declining to speak in detail about the equal marriage bill in the run up to its bumpy ride through the commons earlier this week. But Maude intends to make clear that the government remains deeply committed to the equality agenda after authorising the flying of the Rainbow flag from the cabinet office between 25 June and 1 July. "This shows the government's commitment to the equalities message," one source said. Maude made a personal intervention on the eve of the two day debate on the marriage (same sex couples) bill in the commons on Monday and Tuesday this week. In an article for the Daily ...

Boy Scouts of America vote to end ban on gay youth members	24.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Vote at annual meeting in Texas may relieve political pressure but openly gay leaders are still banned The Boy Scouts of America on Thursday voted to allow gay youths in the organization, partially ending a long-standing ban on accepting homosexual members. Of the 1,400 scout leaders voting at the annual meeting in Texas , more than 60% supported the proposal. The members voted in favor of adjusting the BSA membership rules to read: "No youth may be denied membership in the Boy Scouts of America on the basis of sexual orientation or preference alone." While gay youth members can now be accepted into the scouts, gay scout leaders are still banned from the organization. "The Boy Scouts of America will not sacrifice its mission, or the youth served by the movement, by allowing the organization to be consumed by a single, divisive, and unresolved societal issue," the BSA said in a statement . "As the National Executive Committee just completed a lengthy review process, there are no plans for ...

Ukrainian court blocks country's first gay pride demonstration	23.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Ukraine's gay pride rally has been blocked at the last minute for the second year running, after authorities lodged a complaint A Ukrainian court has blocked the country's first gay pride demonstration in the centre of the capital, upholding a complaint by authorities that the rally would disturb annual Kiev Day celebrations and could spark violence. A demonstration scheduled for a similar spot last year was cancelled by organisers at the last moment when skinheads gathered at the planned location, intent on beating up the participants. While the recognition of gay rights has advanced in much of the West, antipathy toward homosexuals remains strong in Ukraine and other parts of the former Soviet Union. Homosexuality was a criminal offense in the USSR and societal resistance to it remains strong two decades later. The highly influential Orthodox Church strongly opposes gay rights. A small gay pride rally in the capital of Georgia last week was attacked by a large mob that included ...

Both lead actors spoke of their trust in director Abdellatif Kechiche over the four-month shoot for the film, including the scenes that, in the opinion of the Hollywood Reporter, "cross the barrier between performance and the real deal". According to Léa Seydoux, who plays the older of the two women, "I succeeded in forgetting that a camera was there." It was a process so intense, and resulting in so much ...
