I've been meaning to blog about political issues, but the more I put it off, the more bad things kept happening. So I bring you a belated round-up.

What life is like in the U.S. for people with a minority sexual orientation:

The epidemic of rape in the Congo:

Meanwhile, Stephen Johns was murdered by a white supremecist at the Holocaust Museum, and a ten year old girl was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

I had to get these out of the way, so I can write longer posts on environmental carcinogens and the state of access to health care in this country.

human rights, current events, feminism, politics
