A proposal that bans the use of a person's sexuality or gender identity against them in court has reached the American Bar Association (ABA). Under the referendum, the so-called 'gay panic' defense would be inadmisible in court.
In recent years, defendants have used the gay panic defense to justify violent crimes against LGBT people. The argument is that the victims brought it on themselves by sexually propositioning the assailant.
The prelinimary agenda for the next ABA meeting asks that governments take "legislative action to curtail the availability and effectiveness of the 'gay panic' and 'trans panic' defenses, which seek to partially or completely excuse crimes on the grounds that the victim's sexual orientation or gender identity is to blame for the defendent's violent reaction".
A majority delagate vote at the annual conference in August is require to ratify the proposal. The recommendation wouldn't become national law, but will more than likely set the tone for local and federal policy.

Anti-gay protestors in France are serious enough to disrupt the Tour de France, the country's most prestigious event. Protestors are having a go at the Tour following a blundered protest at the finals of the French Open.
The coalition, a combination of Catholic Church members and conservative UMP opposition party enthusiasts, is planning the demonstration at the world's largest cycling event, quite possibly disrupting the tour, in protest of the country's legalization of gay marriage.
Strong protests have erupted since France granted gay and lesbian couples the right to marry. The opposition has turned violent and racist in its attempt to overturn the law.

Russia's lower House of Parliament passed a bill unanimously Tuesday making it illegal to spread gay 'propaganda' and to teach children about homosexuality. Just before the 436-0 decision with one abstention, a group of gay rights protestors were attacked by a civilian crowd and then taken away by police.
The broad language of the bill bans "propaganda of nontraditional relations" in a move closer to traditional values. The bill must still pass the upper house and be signed by Pres. Vladimir Putin, but neither is expected to be an obsticle.
If passed, the legislation will peanlize with hefty fines any person or organization the distributes information about lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people to minors and those organizing or participating in gay pride events. Individuals face fines of 5,000 rubles ($156), companies including the media up to 1 million rubles ($31,000) per violation.
Foreigners found in violation of the law could be jailed for 15 days and deported.
The bill remains politically popular even though Russia decriminalized homosexuality in 1993. Since, anti-gay sentiment has been increasing. The legislature is also considering a law to make it illegal for countries that allow same-sex marriage to adopt Russian children.

Pope Francis has warned church high leaders that there is a 'gay lobby' at work in the Vatican and something must be done about it.
In an internal document published by leaders of The Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of Religious, a regional group of priests and nuns, Francis is paraphrased as saying that there is corruption at the Vatican, including a 'gay lobby'. "It is true, it is there... We need to see what we can do..."
The Vatican says the document was meant for a private audience and therefore they would not respond to the remarks.
Reports of a 'gay lobby' have circulated before, particularly leading to the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI. According to Italian media, the illusive gay lobby is influential in church policy making through blackmail. The specifics are unclear, as are the number of gay-friendly leaders that exist at the Holy See.
