Horrifying story out of Uganda via BBC:

A judge in Uganda has ordered the local Rolling Stone newspaper to stop publishing the names and photographs of people it says are homosexual.

The judge granted a request by gay rights group Sexual Minorities Uganda (Smug).

“We will publish more pictures but in a diplomatic way, so that we can dodge the law,” he said.
