Men Arrested for Gay Marriage In Tanzania Face Anal Exams

Here’s more about what’s going on with LGBT people in Tanzania. It’s not good.

Movie: Boy Erased

I haven’t seen this one, so this isn’t my review. But I figured I’d post something about it in case other people are interested. It’s a film about gay conversion therapy.

Here’s the full review. I’ll definitely see this one, eventually.
