It is interesting how Uganda and the minority groups have organized to bring to the fore issues such as 'homosexuality.' It helps to note that indeed there are struggles, denials and opportunism. There is a deliberate effort to curtail infrastructures of safety and life preserving practices. There are also effort towards redress. The question who is 'right' and who is 'wrong' has tended to hide other issues: privacy, dignity, education, awareness, leadership, readership and establishment of tolerance infrastructures. Many have taken sides. Some are bitter to the point of belligerence. Sexuality indeed touches raw nerves. But humanity is known to get over what pulls it down. The next bench-marks are slated to have the politics and citizenship around sexuality, orientation, gender, identity and health.

Senate Passes Measure to End Shutdown and Raise Debt Limit
With Treasury warning it could run out of money to pay U.S. obligations within a day, the Senate voted overwhelmingly Wednesday evening 81-18 to approve a proposal hammered out by the Senate’s Republican and Democratic leaders after the House on Tuesday was unable to move forward with any resolution.
The House was expected within hours to follow suit and approve the Senate plan that would fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt limit through Feb. 7.
