The Pride Way

 "The beauty of standing up for your rights is that others see you standing and stand up as 

well." - Cassandra Duffy

The courage of those who walked the Pride Parade brought about tumultuous changes in 

many parts of the world. Here are some:

 Australia:

Australia has the highest number of laws protecting LGBTQIA+ community from 

discrimination in workplaces and in general. Among the plenty rights available to the 

community, the prominent ones are: change of sex, personnel allowed to serve in military, 

marriage, adoption, and running for political positions.

France:

France has the reputation of being the most gay-friendly countries, Paris being called the 

most romantic cities in the world,how can it become a hindrance to love! The country allows 

most of the rights to the LGBT+ community, although large numbers of homophobic and 

transphobic attacks are observed every year due to the orthodox thinking still prevailing. 

USA:

Continuous efforts have been made to make USA more LGBTQIA+ friendly. Adoption of 

children by same-sex married couples is legal nationwide since June 2015. Crimes due to 

deliberate inequality and hatred based on sexual orientation or gender identity have been 

made punishable under the federal act of 2009. Civil Rights of the community have been 

advocated at all levels by various organizations.

UK:

 The LGBTQIA+ rights have increasingly strengthened since the start of the 21st century. 

Today, LGBTQIA+ citizens have many legal rights and UK provides one of the highest 

degrees of support and developing mindsets to accept everyone and everything. UK 

currently holds the world record for having the most out LGBTQIA+ people in it's Parliament. 

LGBTQIA+ communities have been built across UK, most notably in Brighton, which is 

widely regarded as the UK's unofficial "gay capital".

Belgium:

LGBTQIA+ rights in Belgium are seen as some of the most progressive in Europe and in the 

world. Belgium became the second country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage in 

2003. Belgium has also frequently been referred to as one of the most gay-friendly countries 

in the world.

India:

In the second decade of this century, several significant decisions have been made 

regarding LGBTQIA+ community. Rights provided include a third gender option, 

disclassification of homosexuality has a sickness, equal age of consent, adoption (by single 

people, not couples), and other iconic judgements not many hoped for in India. 

"Love is too beautiful to be hidden in a closet."

The journey to achieve total equality because of the narrow thinkers, it will be a little hard, 

but the finish line will be colourful, not grey. Although some part of the destination is still 

remaining, we have come a long way.The day is not far where every form will not only have 

gender as male, female and others but also lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, 

intersex and asexual, cause actions are louder than words.

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin William. Gaddafi came up with this champion in

The Mentalist

The Mentalist is a very interesting show about a man named Patrick Jean, a former psychic who has the ability to "read" peoples minds . He uses these same skills to work with the FBI, and helps them catch criminals. In return he also wants their aid in catching the person who killed his wife and daughter. The peculiar thing about this show is the wa y he use s h is ability to think in absurd ways helps him solve crimes. Putting himself in the shoes of the criminal and predicting the criminal's next move, as well as using a "mind palace" to store all important facts and  evidence of the case, are just a few of the things that he does. Patrick's ability to think in the most absurd fashion and come up with the most crazy reasons as to how a person can be caught or proven guilty is interesting. This is also probably the reason why the show has a very repetitive story line. In which the sequence of events happen i

Nasty Battles #9 - Last benchers Vs first benchers

The classification - There are 2 kinds of students in a class- the outstanding ones and the others who are always standing out of the class. The former being the face of the class and the latter being the backbone. Idiosyncrasies - If a doubt is being asked in the class, the nerds frantically scan the textbooks for the answer while the other ‘chilled out’ kind is like “Just 5 minutes left for the lecture to climax ;)". The first benchers wish to get a degree to get a job (in hope of a ‘bright’ future) while the last benchers consider Facebook as their present and also their future (Who cares if it’s bright or not!?). The former crowd will always be on time, never call in a sick and would LOVE to work overtime (and basically salsa to the teachers’ rhythm). Last benchers, on the other hand, are those who OBVIOUSLY want to attend the class; but for the fun in their own sweet last bench-ly world (it does amaze me that how they manage to listen to the teachers). They’ve
