Philippines: Same-sex couples can co-own property, top court rules
The landmark decision said
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
"Same-sex unions are outlawed in conservative Catholic Philippines and it is the only country in the world, outside of the Vatican, that does not allow divorce. This has left #LGBT couples without legal protections when it comes to property, finance and healthcare."

It's SO easy ..... so why all the fuss? There has been a lot of unnecessary fuss and unfounded fear in recent years about #Transgender people and the "Toilet debate". This is very refreshing a step in the right direction.

Alan Turing is famed for cracking the Enigma code during World War II, significantly shortening the war and saving lives. Turing faced persecution for his sexuality, undergoing hormone treatment after a 1952 charge of "gross indecency." He died from cyanide poisoning in 1954. #lgbthistorymonth

Deer grazing by the Bird hide
Sculpture in the secret walled garden
Part of the Berlin Wall in the woods helping to provoke N understanding of conflict and division
It was great to revisit Carey’s Secret Garden this weekend to catch up with their work with refugees & mark 2yrs since Bibby Stockholm left Dorset
This peaceful place of horticulture, sculpture, nature & ethical commerce needs celebrating & I hope to return soon

Quote of the day?
via BBC - Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper said "Farage has recruited yet another Conservative minister with selective amnesia - one who complains about broken Britain while conveniently forgetting they helped break it."

Thanks to Shaun for organising our Christmas Dinner last night. Much enjoyed by the dozen guys that attended.
Shaun petal: Foregoing your own choice and having the course that no-one else wanted was above and beyond the call of duty!

A 40-fold surge in cases and the litigation infrastructure behind it
“When American organisations with annual budgets in the hundreds of millions fund UK litigation, there are legitimate questions about whether this serves British democratic interests”
