Equality: not even in death

By Khaled Diab Tragic as the deaths of young British soldiers in Afghanistan are, why is the media not mourning

@TracyQuanNYC Indeed. Some Victorian men escaped the strict sexual mores of home and travelled south where they could more comfortably come out of the closet. Orientalist Richard Burton even fantasised the existence of what he called a "Sotadic Zone".

Belgium's Foreign Minister Hadja Lahbib wore the #OneLove armband while cheering on the Belgian national side at the #FIFAWorldCup. She even trolled FIFA President Gianni Infantino by chatting with him while wearing the armband. 👏🙌 twitter.com/hadjalahbib/st…

Qataris widely regard homosexuality as a western import and Europeans tend to view Qatar's homophobia as Arab/Islamic. But the Gulf's "anti-sodomy" laws date back to the British Empire. Before that, homosexuality was tolerated and often celebrate in the Arab world. #WorldCup2022

@sarahposner @WIRED I wonder if Twitter algorithms have changed since Musk took over or if it's down to a mass exodus of progressives. But I've noticed a pronounced downturn in engagement with my tweets. I wonder if others are experiencing the same.

It is symbolic, in a grizzly sort of way, that the latest mass shooting in the US, in which the gunman killed six people, occurred at a Walmart. Walmart is one of America's largest gun distributors and has even had Black Friday sales on firearms. bbc.com/news/world-us-…

Now that COP27 and the spotlight it cast on Egypt's dire human rights situation is over, @sana2 fears that her brother Alaa Abd El-Fattah will be forgotten again by the world. We must not forget or forsake. #FreeAlaa #FreeThemAll twitter.com/democracynow/s…

"Footballers and football are role models for so many people around the world, so how they behave has immense influence." I spoke to @semafor about the #FIFAWorldCup's fairy tale carbon neutrality claim. C'mon FIFA, you can and must do better. Thanks to @caressemh @joeposner twitter.com/semafor/status…

I spoke with @janegarvey1 and @fifiglover of @TimesRadio about the #FIFAWorldCup's far-fetched "carbon neutral" claim. It is not the fault of fans that this term confuses them, I explained. Governments must strictly regulate its use to avoid greenwashing. thetimes.co.uk/radio/show/202…
