...when I ask about the best tourist attractions in Burma's new capital. That's no surprise, really. Naypyidaw--the name translates as "Abode of Kings"--was built from scratch just three years ago on orders from the ruling junta. The vast swath of former scrubland didn't even exist when the latest Lonely Planet Burma travel guide was written, and there's not much tourist charm in a dusty bunker town whose sole purpose is the wish fulfillment of paranoid generals...

Gay straight alliances (GSAs) - extracurricular clubs that promote safety and tolerance in school - have grown from 200 in 1998 to more than 4,000 today. And students have won the right of GSAs to exist in more than a dozen court battles, even in relatively conservative regions like Salt Lake City, Utah and Orange County, Calif...
