Ukraine gay pride marchers ready to defy violence	19.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Organisers in Kiev determined to go ahead after cancellation of last year's event, despite rise in homophobic attacks Efforts are going ahead in Ukraine's capital Kiev to stage a gay pride march next week in the face of data showing a sharp rise in the number of homophobic attacks reported in the city. Organisers were forced to cancel the celebration last year, hours before it was due to start, after police said they could not guarantee the safety of participants in the face of threats from far-right and religious groups. A report published this weekend by Amnesty International revealed what it called "endemic discrimination" by both the Ukrainian authorities and members of the public towards the country lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender and intersex (LGBTI) community, and is calling on the government to drop proposals to introduce two pieces of legislation which would further entrench homophobia by making it illegal to promote "propaganda" about homosexuality in the arts. Ukraine ...

Cardinal Keith O'Brien still a danger, say abuse accusers	18.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Complaints of Vatican whitewash as O'Brien leaves Scotland for penance in exile The four men whose accusations of sexual misconduct led to the dramatic resignation of Britain's leading Catholic cleric as archbishop have attacked a Vatican announcement last week that he will leave the country for a period of "prayer and penance". The three priests and one ex-priest, whose complaints were first reported in the Observer in February, say Cardinal Keith O'Brien should have been sent for psychological treatment instead. One of the priests warns: "Keith is extremely manipulative and needs help to be challenged out of his denial. If he does not receive treatment, I believe he is still a danger to himself and to others." The four men are demanding an investigation into O'Brien's "predatory behaviour" and say that stripping him of his cardinal status should not be ruled out. Despite making statements to the papal nuncio three months ago, they have heard nothing about a formal investigation into ...

Three months on, a cardinal is banished but his church is still in denial	18.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Cardinal Keith O'Brien has been told to leave Scotland for 'prayer and penance', after resigning over charges of sexual misconduct. But his accusers still wait for a proper inquiry When news came last week that Cardinal Keith O'Brien was being exiled from Scotland for "prayer and penance", memories came flooding back to Lenny, the former priest who has accused O'Brien of inappropriate behaviour. He remembered being a young priest in the 90s and telling O'Brien, then an archbishop, that he could not pledge allegiance to him and was leaving. The cold chill of O'Brien's disapproval followed him down the path of the archbishop's official residence and seeped into him in the dole office where he queued for benefits. Years later, the two were forced to meet again. O'Brien was a cardinal. Lenny reminded him of an unfortunate prank O'Brien had organised when he was spiritual director at Lenny's seminary. Ah, the cardinal admitted, other staff had later chastised him for bad judgment. "But these ...

Tory chair Andrew Feldman: I did not make 'swivel-eyed loons' remark	18.5.2013	The Guardian -- Front Page
Conservative co-chairman taking legal advice following online rumours that he made remark about party activists The co-chairman of the Conservatives has denied describing party activists as "swivel-eyed loons" after rumours circulated on the internet that he had made the remarks. Lord Andrew Feldman said he was taking legal advice after posters on Twitter implied he was the senior Tory quoted anonymously in several national newspapers. The Tory made the remarks – in earshot of journalists – after being asked about the decision of 116 party MPs to defy the prime minister and vote in favour of an amendment regretting the absence of an EU referendum in the Queen's speech. The Conservative said: "It's fine. There's really no problem. The MPs just have to do it because the associations tell them to, and the associations are all mad, swivel-eyed loons." In a statement Feldman, who was a friend of David Cameron at Oxford University, said: "There is speculation on the internet and on ...

Christians aren't being persecuted in American schools \| TF Charlton	18.5.2013	The Guardian -- World Latest
Unfounded fears have driven some Christian groups to co-opt the language of discrimination for their reactionary policies Christians make up 78% of the American population , 90% of Congress , and 100% of presidents thus far. But to hear some conservative Christians tell it, they are a persecuted minority. Newt Gingrich recently claimed that LGBT rights have caused Catholic adoption services to be " outlawed " in Washington DC and Massachusetts. In a loaded speech on the House floor last week, Representative Steve King accused President Obama of racial favoritism and " [eroding] western Judeo-Christendom ", unfavorably comparing his congratulatory call to Jason Collins , the newly out NBA player, with strangely unspecified slights against Tim Tebow, "who will kneel and pray to God on the football field." Fears of marginalization because of Christian faith, even persecution , have deep roots in white American evangelical culture, dating back to the Scopes Trial and before. As with ...
