Uganda: Homosexuals, Lesbians Erode National Decency- allafrica.com- By J.s. Mayanja-Nkangi 12/16/07 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
UGANDA is experiencing an internationally orchestrated crescendo of demands for "rights" by the homosexual fraternity: male, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and transvestite. Essentially, these "rights" reduce to only one; the absolute, non-negotiable, "right" to enjoy sexual pleasure man with man, woman with woman; with the bisexual exploiting the pleasures of both worlds and the trans gender coveting and securing the sexual pleasures which both God and his or her heterosexual parents did not give him or her.

China: The Love That Dares to Speak Its Name - Discreetly-1/13/08 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
By Simon Elegant/Beijing www.time.com <br><br> There's never been a better time to be gay in China, but as Destination's somewhat schizophrenic combination of outer reserve and inner exuberance demonstrates, it still pays to be careful. Beijing's attitude has been described as a Triple No policy: no approval, no disapproval, no promotion. That hands off approach ? a sort of commercial don't ask, don't tell policy ? is emblematic of the delicacy with which the Communist regime is learning to deal with many of the issues concerning personal liberties that are increasingly being raised by its burgeoning middle class. For their part, homosexuals in China seem perfectly happy to pursue their lives within the broad boundaries allowed by the government, albeit not without the occasional snipe at the authorities. It's no coincidence, for example, that the once ubiquitous term tongzhi ? comrade ? is now only heard as a slang term among young Chinese for gay men.

Pakistan/India: Gay Men and Mischievous Boys-CHOWK , Amita Rahjan 5/2/05 (Sexual Minorities & HIV Status)
"Masti" denotes the homoerotic behavior of men who do not describe themselves as homosexuals. It is not necessarily penetrative and neither does it fall within the Western definition of homosexuality wherein two males are ultimately seeking a committed partner much like heterosexual couples. Masti, a word that literally means mischief, is a relationship that in most cases does not imply permanence or emotional attachment. It is not seen as a substitute for a conventional heterosexual relationship leading to marriage and children. Neither is it limited to a particular geographic location as studies in India and Pakistan have proved.
