A candlelight vigil was held Monday night demanding justice for Professor S.R. Siras, who was found dead on April 7th under mysterious circumstances days after being reinstated at Aligarh Muslim University following a suspension by the university’s vice-chancellor after a group of students secretly taped the professor having sex with a male rickshaw puller. Siras, who taught at AMU for over thirty years, and was scheduled to retire this September, was openly gay, but was dismissed for what many regard as gay sex sting set up by the school. To date, no cause of death has been determined. Local and international gay activists have initiated an online petition insisting that the justice be served and that the truth of the circumstances that led to the professor’s suspension, subsequent reinstatement, and ultimate death, be told.

Police in Britain have issued a national appeal in an effort to establish the final movements of Anthony Muise, a 53 year old from Thornbury, Ontario, whose body was found on February 24th, 2010, late in the afternoon, in a canal near a museum in Manchester, England. Muise, who was gay, arrived in Britain in June, 2009, and had spent several months travelling throughout the United Kingdom. Police know he had arrived in Manchester on January 19th, 2010. According to the police, Muise had told family and friends he believed he had inherited a degenerative condition of some kind and hinted that he intended to harm himself.

It took seven hours, and technically two days, but Missoula, Montana city council passed a non-discrimination measure early Tuesday, the first equality ordinance in Montana that extends a legal protection from discrimination to individuals based on sexual orientation and gender identity. Council voted 10-2 in favour of the ordinance which now protects city residents from employment and housing discrimination based on “actual or perceived...sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.”

In addition to linking homosexuality to pedophilia, the Vatican suddenly surprised everyone by announcing it was “forgiving” the Beatles. “Drug use, dissolute and uninhibited lives,” and John Lennon’s proclamation that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus have been absolved because “listening to their songs, all of this seems distant and meaningless. Their beautiful melodies, which changed forever pop music and still give us emotions, live on like precious jewels.”
