Gay Organization

A talk on LGBTQ issues by filmmaker and gay rights activist Onir Dhar at the ongoing Bhopal Lit Fest (BLF) was cancelled as a group threatened to stage a protest, a member of the organizing team said on Saturday.

Twitter users are flooding the #ProudBoys hashtag on social media with images of LGBTQI+ pride, displacing posts made by neo-Nazis and white supremacists using the tag. Proud Boys, a far-right group founded in 2016, calls itself a "white chauvinist" organization but is considered a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Corporate and individual donors have given more than $5.3 million to help victims of Sunday's mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Florida by a gunman who killed 49 people and wounded 53, organizers of fundraising drives said on Tuesday.

Thousands marched in Havana on Saturday to support gay rights and to join a symbolic marriage ceremony organized by President Raul Castro's daughter Mariela.

For the first time in the 114-year history of Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade, gay rights activists marched openly on Sunday under rainbow banners in the city's annual celebration of its Irish heritage, after organizers lifted a longtime ban.

The amount of Cook's contribution to the Human Rights Campaign wasn't disclosed, but the advocacy organization called it "substantial."

A Bollywood-style United Nations (UN) music video on gay rights, featuring Indian actress Celina Jaitly, has become one of the organization's most watched videos ever with over a million views online, the UN said.

Robert Gates, the new president of the Boy Scouts of America, said he would have moved last year to allow openly gay adults in the organization but said he opposes any further attempts to address the policy now.

A man in China is suing the government after officials refused his application to register a gay organisation and replied that homosexuality is "against the construction of cultural and ideological progress".

The Boy Scouts of America voted on Thursday to lift a century-old ban on openly gay scouts in a major victory for gay rights activists, but the decision means a sea of change for an organization that depends heavily on faith-based groups.

Caught in an ideological crossfire, the Boy Scouts of America is putting off until May a decision on whether to ease its policy of excluding gays. Whatever the organization eventually does, it's likely to anger major constituencies and worsen schisms within Scouting.
