Just because i link to an article or piece of commentary doesn’t mean i think it’s gospel or even necessarily that i agree with any of it. I felt i should clear that up because i’m concerned it wasn’t obvious before…

solemnhypnotik:
Uganda’s internationally-denounced bill that would have prescribed all Ugandan gays to be put in jail for life, would have required reporting to the government anyone suspected of being homosexual within 24 hours, and possibly would have demanded for the death penalty for the “crime” of homosexuality, appears to be dead.

Are mixed gender schools distracting? →
That’s the question the BBC is asking, in response to a number of schools in Cape Town that are choosing to separate boys and girls in a bid to improve academic performance, feeling that coeducational schools are distracting.
My perspective on the subject comes from quite an interesting and relatively rare location. I was very much, absolutely, a child of the state school system, which...

Yeah, although i think there is some justification for it (though it shouldn’t be so expensive): unlike HIV testing, the morning after pill is time-sensitive, and if your condom broke or...
