GIMME MOORE
Forget Madonna’s garish and over-hyped Super Bowl appearance. Forget Nicki Minaj desperately trying to carve out a pop career based around dressing up like a tit and being controversial (it’s been done already, dear!!).

OUT OF AFRICA – PART2 – FELIX’S STORY
Last week, Uganda’s homophobic policies were back in the spotlight when the highly controversial Anti-Homosexuality Bill was re-introduced in the Ugandan Parliament by conservative MP David Bahati. Under the bill, gay and lesbian people in Uganda could face the death penalty for so-called “aggravated homosexuality” – a definition which includes consensual sexual conduct.
