This week: Chocolate activism, Thailand's marriage equality, China's silent battles, Ghana's countdown, Hungary's hypocrisy, the Gentili controversy, a tragedy in Oklahoma, the NASDAQ legal battle…

At the UN they've become more visible against gender equality, including LGBTQI+ equality. For example, last year they supported an amendment to remove a reference to sexual orientation and gender equality from a resolution on elections. To me this looks like opportunism, to score cheap points with conservative countries, as I mention in my recent blog post:

Thank you for your kind words
