Gay Sex Still a Crime?


The actual act of gay sex has just been decriminalized in India. Just goes to show that there are still some pretty far fetched laws out there that for which one can definitely do some hard time...no pun intended.

The ruling overturns a 148-year-old colonial law which describes a same-sex relationship as an "unnatural offence"

Check out the BBC's account of the situation here

The Stoning of Soraya M.

I haven't been posting too many trailers in regards to cinema, so here's an interesting one entitled The Stoning of Soraya M. I'm assuming it'll be pretty insightful in regards to domestic violence as well as equal rights for woman in general on a global level. At the end of the day, I just hope it moves both you and me.
