You never know where the ruffian hacker group ‘Anonymous’ will strike next, or for what purpose. Most recently Anonymous decided to fight for gay rights, hacking Ugandan Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi’s website, and releasing a fake apology letter. It reads in part, “We have got to expel the narrow mindedness from this country, and begin afresh, starting with a full and formal apology to all homosexuals living in Uganda today.”

It seems like Malaysia is taking a step in St. Petersburg’s direction by trying to stop the “influence” of the LGBT community by removing them from TV, reports The Star.

In June, the liberal Australian advocacy group GetUp! forked over $31,000 at an auction to win a dinner with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard. Three same-sex couples were supposed to sit down and talk with Gillard about marriage equality within two weeks of the auction, but Gillard seems to fear awkward conversations because they still have yet to receive a dinner date.
