Barge has published a map highlighting the zone where gays and lesbians arent welcome it covers nearly one 3rd of poland 5 of the countrys 16 regions the resolutions passed by the towns arent actually binding but its clear theres no room here for rainbow colors.

Homophobia is especially entrenched in polands conservative south east. But even in brutally warsaw scenes like this one are highly unusual to Women Holding hands in public. And i gotta are a couple and dont want to hide it but living openly as homosexuals isnt easy even here in the capital stuff. You want to just go we always feel afraid of it. But i think its women its a little bit easier for us. Were not safe either. But for men Holding Hands is completely out of the question and poland. They got married in berlin but in poland theyre still considered single homophobia is officially encouraged.

At this gathering pilgrims are praying for their family values to be upheld. Homosexuals need to recognise their weakness for you and i think get treated well pray for healing. Thats what you should do just those people just want to justify themselves to justify sin and it is a sin right so to me defending these people would be justifying sins without them. That a legit sin is embodied by couples like him ilya and i got one is a lawyer the other a journalist they want to live openly as lesbians but its not always possible. I was in a store recently and i wanted to say that my wife had sent me to go shopping. But then i thought i might live to say my wife. Anyone else wouldnt even think about it.

She more or is a Buddhist Monk as a child he realized he didnt fit into a neat definition of gender. Played with doubts about his identity he sought spiritual guidance. I used to associate monks with traditional images but as i am barked in the learning process that changed i can be who i am one of the higher up monks told me. Who does and wants to free all people in the same way just as the moon sheds light on all who look up i mean i started on this. Trip and now this monk is fully embraced 2 years combining his spiritual duties with his job as a makeup artist. And it doesnt stop there go to an issue more or is also an l g b t q activist.

His parents of all my supported him after completing school in japan he moved to the United States where he studied art he didnt feel he could live authentically in japan fearing he would have to sweep who he really was under the carpet that said in recent times more japanese are starting to question traditional gender stereotypes. And you want to get many people in japan still cant accept it but speaking so openly about your sexuality does help to challenge backward thinking that came with the body of the women.

Secure and happy in his individual identity. In the United States and she more was finally free to embrace his love of make up for him it offered a chance to address the full dimension of his identity. So that even as a kid i wanted bigger eyes so thats how i got into make up that thought allows you to be a different person. Gives you courage and filled you with hope about what is was a book. To create a. New early on that he was different to other people traditional color classifications like blue for boys and pink for girls seemed strange to him he expressed himself through illustrations. Someone once told me that homosexuality was natural that made me question why i even exist but the very fact im different makes me look like a missing puzzle piece a part of the whole diversity of this kind is just nice. That think that it was. These days as he moves through shibuya he feels free no longer filled with shame. This journey toward selflove is the subject of the book hes working on at the moment. But his message of tolerance does not get spread everywhere in japan. But it was. Quite interesting i dont think japan is ready to accept this kind of lifestyle but i personally think its really good that there are people like him. I even want to. Make up extraordinary and buddhist priest. For him life is about having the courage to accept who you are. And finding pleasure and meaning in earthly as well as spiritual pursuits.

The leading produces are australia china the us and new zealand together they make up around 70 percent of the Global Market and they all boast vast herds of thousands of sheep. Germany cant compete with that its sheep farming industry is on the decline and its herds are getting smaller. A flock of sheep blazing in the shade. The 1st lambs of the year have arrived and so shepherd florian pis has brought his animals to rest in a green patch between warehouses and factories in the industrial ruhr area in western germany. Normally he keeps his flock on the move hes one of the few shepherds left in the country. There are around a 1000 professional shepherds left in germany thats not so many really i dont know many young people who want to do this job ill continue to do it with passion until i have to step down its certainly a dying profession that nobody wants to do you dont make much money you just dont get rich doing it. The sheep are eventually sold for their meat but municipalities also pay shepherds to have their flocks graze on public land. But wool has become a losing business these days sales dont even cover the costs of having the sheep sheared so that some a beautiful merino wool. Is mitt romney and i have merino sheep because they still have the best quality wool i get over a euro per kilo. And colleagues of mine who have other breeds get a lot less they get 45. 00 to 0. 65 per kilo. Of some of them dont sell it any more choosing to burn the world or toss it instead. Theyre going to.

For wool is processed here died and spun into yarn. Moved from german sheep barely plays a role in the international market. Because. We get our will from all over the world from new Zealand Australia and south america also from england. Depending on the requirements we have to meet we get our wool from everywhere with one foot in bali on. This mill receives only about 10 tonnes of wool from germany each month compared to the 220. 00 tons it gets from new zealand wool from down under is pure and wool from other places its softer and cheaper too because its produced very efficiently the vatican felt spinning male wants to promote local wool but has no illusions about the future of wool from germany always harder sadly consumers today are not willing to pay higher prices at the retail level theyre more interested in getting new products faster they want to see trends in changes in fashion so the cost has to be low it would be nice if people could change their priorities and still.

Its all the municipalities fault was that they failed us even though and. Even after our loss they failed to at least what they promised to do. So im delighted to be a little. Bit. More than a quarter of a century has passed since apartheid ended but the South African government still hasnt managed to equip all the townships with power Running Water and a functioning Waste Disposal and sanitation system. The local authorities are aware of the problem but theyre chronically underfunded. 2 years ago they declared a war on waste 50 illegal waste dumps were transformed into parks and playgrounds like this one. But the spokesman for the Municipal Authority into buns he. Says local residents also have a role to play. So frank were having intelligence and where we are. Trying so hard is our mess pushing message that that talk to all communities to make them understand that you all know your own neighborhoods you know your neighbor was not. Meant.

But we have a lot of people that live in those away places that live close to tips and places where garbage collectors but they are Living Conditions for anyone so were really trying to change that because our. Housing is very close to those areas so we want them to be the best areas people are going to live in.
