"Os jornalistas pouco falam"

"Os jornalistas pouco falam ou falam de nada, foi duro de saber. Dizem-me que pensar é o que está dito, que agir é interdito. Também consta que os leitores dão mostras de impaciência com a quietude das redacções. A voz da rua não se reconhece."

Visibilidade gay na BBC

"The BBC today launched a major research project into what its audiences – including those with homophobic views – think about its portrayal of gay, lesbian and bisexual people on TV and radio. Licence-fee payers will be asked what they think of on-screen talent, humour, language, tone and stereotyping relating to the portrayal of gay, lesbian and bisexual people. (...) The gay, lesbian and bisexual project follows other research into the BBC's portrayal of disabilities and audience attitudes to taste and decency." Guardian

Obstáculos chineses

"The contestants were prepping backstage and the judges were settling in, but the first Mr. Gay China pageant was not meant to be. An hour before the show was set to begin on Friday night, eight police officers walked into the Lan Club and shut down the event, saying organizers lacked necessary permits.
(...) Although gay life in China has blossomed in recent years, many obstacles remain. (...) In 1997, China decriminalized gay sex. In 2001, homosexuality was removed from the official list of psychological disorders. During China’s first Gay Pride celebration last summer, the police in Shanghai forced the cancellation of several events, yet allowed others to take place."
