Gay pride going Kiev Style

About 100 activists have staged Ukraine's first gay pride march in the capital Kiev, ignoring a court ban. A gay-rights event planned for last year in Kiev was called off at the last minute after a gathering of skinheads threatened participants. "This can be considered a historic day," Olena Semenova, one of the organisers, said. And even though the parade was unsanctioned, the police were the good guys this time around - they arrested 13 people for trying to break up the rally. In other news, Obama has defended the use of drones in a "just war" of self-defence against deadly militants and a campaign that had made America safer. In a wide-ranging speech on a programme shrouded in secrecy, he said there must be "near certainty" that no civilians would die in such strikes. "We are at war with an organisation that right now would kill as many Americans as they could if we did not stop them first," he said in Thursday's address at the National Defense University in Washington DC. "So this is a just war - a war waged proportionally, in last resort, and in self-defence." But just or not just, let's not dwell on that forever because if there is one movie you lot need to see, it's The Hangover: Part 3. I saw it yesterday and it is one of the funniest movies so far this year. Let's hope The Internship can top it.
