  • Cranmer (blog): Cairo: 23 homosexuals slaughtered by Egyptian Army
    October 10th, 2011
    Yesterday's march for gay rights in Cairo attracted 10,000 homosexuals, demonstrating against the intolerant anti-gay government and the army's perceived reluctance to protect the gay community. As they progressed, the homosexuals were repeatedly struck by projectiles thrown from the balconies of nearby homes and even from the upper floors of the state television building itself, witnesses said, and by the time the army arrived the gays were seething. Their homes are routinely ransacked and gay clubs are subject to nightly attacks. Some have been burned to the ground. Witnesses say the army opened fire with live ammunition and that one soldier ploughed an armoured personnel carrier into a group of peaceful protesters holding rainbow flags and singing ‘I am what I am’ and ‘Born this way’, crushing at least five of them. The bloody scenes prompted fears that Egypt is drawing ever closer to a sustained anti-gay conflict that cannot be controlled.

  • Theos: Euthanasia: compassion or consumerism?
    October 8th, 2011
    Strangely, the crisis of global economics has done a disservice to campaigners for the legalisation of euthanasia. As we knuckle down for a worldwide recession, facing the misery of slashed public services, rising unemployment and flat-lining growth figures, it’s impossible to imagine political leaders telling us to cheer up because they’ve made it easier for us to kill ourselves.
