Two bits of news:

Uganda is considering the death penalty for gays. Check out the second-to-last paragraph: "In northern Nigeria, gay men can face death by stoning. Beyond Africa, a handful of Muslim countries, like Iran and Yemen, also have the death penalty for homosexuals." Discovering your sexuality (regardless of what that is) should be a new beginning in one's life, not the end of life itself.

To provide some counterbalance to the Uganda posting: GO PORTUGAL!
