PinkUk's September's Newsletter
Issue No. 65 – September 2025
Space Coast Pride 2025, Melbourne, Florida, USA, 27 September 2025
During the last 12 months we have seen some progress but also some derogation of LGB rights around the world. The progress saw same-sex marriage laws passed in Greece and Thailand. Also, two countries decimalised gay sex, namely Namibia & Dominica. It was not all good news as some countries have gone backwards with Bulgaria, Georgia, Ghana and Mali have passed some anti-LGB legislation. Then there is the USA, where ACLU tracked 533 anti-LGBTQ bills. We have not included Trans legislations as we class trans as a gender issue, not a sexuality issue.
It is with sad news we hear that Terence Stamp has died at the age of 87, just after confirmation confirmed of a sequel to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, with the original trio returning.
