Uganda's president just signed an anti-LGBTQIA+ bill with the potential for the death penalty into law.
Museveni's approval of a harsh new anti-gay law has sparked outrage worldwide, with some calling it a "permission slip for hate and dehumanization."

People in the Middle Ages knew the earth was round, as you can see from this 900 year old drawing.
So where did the myth come from that Medieval people thought the earth was flat?
Well, it was once an important part of America's national identity...

Westminster Abbey isn't actually an abbey... and it hasn't been for 464 years.
It also has a statue of Martin Luther King Jr. and is home to Britain's oldest door.
So here's a brief history of this very peculiar place — and what its real name is...

We are deeply concerned about the passage of #AHB23 once again by #Uganda's Parliament. We continue standing firmly in solidarity with the country's #LGBTIQ+ community and with them we #SayNoToAHB23. See our previous statement 👇🏽

This Sunday is World Autism Understanding Day 🌻
Did you know that 90% of disabilities in Australia are not visible? The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool to help certain disabilities become more visible. Wearing a sunflower lanyard or wristband at SYD enables us to recognise that someone may require assistance as they make their way through the airport.
We've been working with our partner @AutismSpectAust to help make Sydney Airport a more inclusive and accessible space for everyone. More: sydneyairport.com.au/sunflow…

Across Asia, LGBTIQ people are being forced to change who they are through abusive practices that are clouded in secrecy.
This month, we are launching a video series featuring five people who shared their experiences with conversion therapy practices.

For many, it was the experience of a lifetime, a day they will not forget. Over 20 team members flew to Sydney in late February to take part in this year’s Mardi Gras and World Pride.

In Sydney for #WorldPride2023, I attended the Caucuses of the Pacific and Asian regions this Monday.
Great opportunity to meet with leaders who are furthering our mission in their own continents and to exchange ideas for future action against discrimination based on #SOGI.
