US foreign aid – and how gays are treated in recipient countries
Looks as if the USA is telling some homophobic countries what for. A memorandum from the White House says the administration will weight up how it distributes foreign aid depending on how countries treat their gay citizens.
The Middle East and Africa come in for criticism, according to this story.
And Hillary Clinton has told a gathering in Geneva: “Gay rights are human rights.”

I hope they keep up the pressure. Things can get better. Where I live in Cebu the City Council passed a resolution guaranteeing members of the LGBT community the same rights as everyone else. It wasn't always like that but the local people really accept anyone no matter what their gender.
