Worth taking a look at...

This is an interactive map of the legal status of queer individuals all over the world. It's pretty sad actually. Enjoy your rights where you have them, we're damn lucky to exist in a country where we will not be imprisoned or executed, but that doesn't mean the struggle is over.

I can't believe that there are so many countries where homosexuality is not only illegal but punishable by death. What kind of world do we live in? I think it's time to pay attention to whats going on in the world and work towards something better. It's not unfeasible to think that with a little work we could improve the world we live in. Even small steps are steps; at least we're moving.
