Sri Lankan president Ranil Wickremesinghe has stated his government will not oppose a private member’s bill decriminalising homosexuality when it is presented to Parliament.
At present, same-sex relationships are illegal in the South Asian island nation, and there are other discriminatory laws targeting trans people and sex workers.
Dear KT, Sadly, sometimes relationships slip. It may be time to reevaluate your feelings, as they might be sending you down a slippery slope. If you are unhappy, you might be manifesting unwarranted suspicion. Making an accusation of infidelity to your partner without being totally sure something is actually happening may not destroy your relationship, but will certainly become a wedge of distrust and disunity between you both.
So, until you are sure, I would take this opportunity to examine the status of the relationship. Consider telling your partner that you feel the relationship need...

In Bishop Condie’s words:
the Diocese of the Southern Cross is a new structure for Anglicans in Australia who can no longer sit under the authority of their bishop.
So, what lead to this rupture and what does it mean for the future of the Anglican Church in Australia?

Anglicans are the second la...
The Polish appeals court has ruled that so-called "LGBT-free zones" must be scrapped, the verdict has been welcomed by activists as a victory for human rights and democracy.
"LGBT-free zones" seek to ban what local authorities see as the promotion of homosexuality and other minority sexual identities, especially in schools.
Many local councils in Poland passed resolutions in 2019 declaring themselves free of "LGBT ideology", part of a conflict in the mostly Catholic country between liberals and religious conservatives, who see the struggle for gay rights as a threat to traditional values....
Dear Kim, Bringing a new life into the world is a wonderful thing, and it should help soften our hearts as we prepare to build a family.
I’m not aware of your agreement, but like I always say, clear and open communication is key. You just might find the father wanting involvement may be a good thing, and in the future, your child may want to know their father.
