In the latest issue human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell writes on the importance of putting LGBT rights on the agenda of the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), which takes place in the UK in April, 2018.
To date, CHOGM leaders have refused to discuss or support LGBT issues and concerns, and Tatchell insists that the time has come for them to start taking the issue seriously.
The magazine’s cover story examines how young Orthodox Jews are gaining ground in combating homophobia in Judaism, and also carries a report on how, despite using despicable anti-LGBT scare tactics, Christian extremists in Australia were dealt a considerable blow when gay marriage became law in Australia last December.
