What's Changed Since Same Sex Marriage Became Legal
Four years ago on June 26, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that same sex couples have the right to marry, a right guaranteed by the Constitution’s equal protection clauses. The landmark ruling accelerated a growing public acceptance of LGBTQ marriage, which includes lesbian, gay and other diverse sexual orientations. But as VOA’s Brian Padden reports, while opposition to same sex marriage is declining, it is still a strong political force in the country.

'Unruly' Private Life Disrupts Boris Johnson’s Bid to Lead Britain
A plate-hurling, screaming quarrel with his latest girlfriend has turned the spotlight fully on where Boris Johnson’s advisers didn’t want it — on his character and chaotic private life, which even his friends have described as “unruly.”The altercation, recorded by neighbors in south London who phoned the police, has thrown a wrench into Johnson’s smooth-running campaign to succeed Theresa May as Britain’s prime minister, which commentators say is his race to lose.His bid to win a leadership contest, which is now in its final stages after lawmakers whittled down in knockout ballots the succession choice to two candidates for the party’s 160,000 members to vote on by mail, has been built on avoiding television debates and dodging journalists.Johnson has refused to answer questions about the screaming match in the apartment of his girlfriend, 31-year-old Carrie Symonds, but calls are mounting on the 55-year-old to address questions about the altercation on Friday.Johnson ended a 25-year-long marriage, his second divorce, to move in last year with the younger Symonds, but his unruly private life has been marked by serial relationships, children fathered out of wedlock and terminated pregnancies.The quarrel has allowed his remaining opponent in the leadership race, the country’s current and normally mild-mannered foreign minister, Jeremy Hunt, to pile on the pressure and to launch Monday an uncharacteristically personal attack on his rival, accusing him of being a “coward” by trying to avoid public scrutiny and “slink through the back door” of Downing Street.Johnson, who was finally backed by more than half of Conservative lawmakers to be the new party leader has appeared on only one TV debate and granted a single short broadcast interview and one newspaper interview. Hunt says the public want a “fair and open contest, not one that one side is trying to rig to avoid scrutiny.”He added: “One of the strengths of our system is that we scrutinize our politicians with more intelligent ferocity than anywhere else in the World. But in this case it just isn’t happening. Nothing could be worse for a new prime minister in these challenging times than to come to power with a fake contest.”FILE - Britain's Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt leaves 10 Downing Street, London, Britain, Nov. 13, 2018.Hunt’s aides say it is especially important for May’s successor to be scrutinized closely as they will be entering Downing Street not via a general election but through a party vote with their democratic legitimacy questioned because the country as a whole would not have had any say in their selection.Hunt says he doesn’t want to quiz Johnson, a former two-term London mayor and short-lived foreign minister, about his private life, but about his claim that he can “guarantee” Britain will leave the European Union by October 31, the latest deadline for the country’s exit from the bloc.But while Hunt is avoiding focusing directly on Johnson’s character, some of his aides are happily fanning the flames and briefing reporters behind the scenes that the frontrunner’s highly colorful private life represents a security risk. It could leave him vulnerable to leaks about past behavior and even open to blackmail by foreign powers, they charge.The accusation has infuriated Johnson supporters, who say the explosive argument between Symonds and Johnson was just a normal domestic “tiff” apparently provoked by Johnson spilling red wine on a sofa. They maintain the quarrel was blown out of proportion by neighbors who are politically motivated. The police left without charging anyone.Nonetheless, the dispute, which is depressing Johnson’s poll numbers, is contributing to a picture of a Conservative party in disarray and fearful that it is facing an existential crisis because of Brexit. It comes as pro-European Union Conservatives have started to plot a strategy to wreck a Johnson-led government, if he seeks to take Britain out of the European bloc without an exit deal approved by Brussels.Sharp divisions between Brexiters and pro-EU lawmakers wrecked Theresa May’s prime ministership and there are growing signs that it might quickly upend Johnson’s, too, if he wins the leadership race.Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May speaks to the media outside her official residence of 10 Downing Street in London, April 18, 2017.May’s fate was sealed when the British House of Commons declined three times to approve a Brexit Withdrawal Agreement she negotiated with Brussels — a deal vehemently opposed by a third of her own parliamentary party on the grounds it would keep Britain subservient to EU regulations and rules and prevent it from negotiating trade deals bilaterally with non-EU countries.
Europhiles are also opposed to the deal. Several top Conservatives who want to retain close ties with the EU have warned they could join opposition parties in a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons and bring down a Johnson government.A former Conservative attorney-general, Dominic Grieve, said: “If the new prime minister announces that he is taking the country on a magical mystery tour towards an October 31 crash-out, I don’t think that prime minister is going to survive very long.”Even Britain’s current top finance minister, Philip Hammond, has warned the next prime minister “will not survive,” if they seek to leave the EU without a deal. He has declined publicly to rule out that he would vote with opposition parties against Johnson, if he sought a no-deal Brexit.Britain’s fractious Conservatives are ruling as a minority government, and they rely on the support of a Northern Irish party to give them a working majority of just three in the House of Commons. A handful of Conservative standouts could trigger a chain of events leading to an early election the Conservatives are unlikely to win.Johnson’s supporters say he remains the favorite of party activists because he has the star quality the party needs to win elections and curb both the populist threat from Nigel Farage’s new Brexit party and combat Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn.They also claim he has the political inventiveness to break the Brexit deadlock that has turned traditional British politics upside down and might even have the ability to persuade hardline Brexiters to accept a compromise and something short of their objective to break completely with the EU.

Biden: Congress Should Immediately Make 'Dreamers' Citizens
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, unveiling his immigration policy outline ahead of the first 2020 debates , is calling for Congress to grant citizenship immediately to more than 800,000 U.S. residents who were brought to the country illegally as children.
The former vice president and Democratic polling leader unveiled some of his immigration priorities on Monday in a newspaper op-ed that blisters President Donald Trump for an ``assault on the dignity'' of the Latino community through policies and rhetoric designed to ``scare voters'' in 2020.
``Trump repeatedly invokes racist invective to describe anyone south of the Rio Grande,'' Biden writes, noting ``horrifying scenes ... of kids being kept in cages'' and other ``actions that subvert our American values and our ability to lead on the global stage.''
Biden, who launched his 2020 campaign in April, calls for streamlining the asylum system for migrants and spending more on electronic security at U.S. borders rather than Trump's proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall. And he blasts Trump's latest threats of mass deportation and his decision to cut aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, three Central American nations that are sources of the increasing wave of migrants to the U.S. border.
Trump, a Republican, maintains that his immigration policies are necessary to keep the country safe. He also has made clear that his 2020 reelection strategy is focused squarely on his base, which since his 2015 campaign launch has embraced his hard-line nationalism and economic protectionism.
Biden's op-ed is published in the Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald, with Biden using the English and Spanish versions to praise the diversity of the surrounding city where 20 Democratic candidates will take the debate stage in two heats Wednesday and Thursday.
Biden has not yet offered detailed immigration policy proposals beyond the outline.
Nonetheless, the op-ed is part of a series of policy pronouncements of varying levels of detail as Biden tries to maintain his lead in national and early state polls of Democratic primary voters. Separately, he's offered education and climate action proposals, and his campaign has said health care and criminal justice plans are upcoming.
In his Miami newspaper piece, Biden further pledges an overhaul of U.S. foreign policy in the Americas, echoing fellow Democrats who've panned Trump's approach to Mexico, Central America and South America.
``The Administration's Latin America policy is at best a Cold War-era retread, and at worst an ineffective mess,'' Biden writes, citing Trump's tariff threats in Mexico, his refusal to grant temporary legal status to political refugees from Venezuela and U.S. ambivalence to rising instability in Central America.
The answer, Biden argued, is U.S. engagement and aid that expands ``economic opportunity ... so that people feel safe to stay in their home countries,'' and he argued that as President Barack Obama's top lieutenant he ``led a major, bipartisan effort to address the root causes that push people to flee'' those nations.
Other than the so-called ``Dreamers'' brought to the U.S. as children, Biden's outline does not directly address the more than 11 million immigrants in the country illegally. As vice president, Biden backed a comprehensive immigration overhaul that would have established a path to citizenship for most of those residents. That effort cleared the Senate but died in what was then a Republican-led House.
The immigrants brought to the U.S. as children are commonly referred to as ``Dreamers'' because of never-passed proposals in Congress called the DREAM Act, which would have allowed them to remain in the country if they met certain criteria. Opponents say the act would reward people for breaking the law, encourage illegal immigration and hurt American workers.
Immigration has not been a top priority among Democratic presidential candidates thus far, other than sweeping condemnations of Trump's values and priorities. The two Texans in the race — former Cabinet secretary Julian Castro and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke — have placed the most emphasis on the matter.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has joined them in releasing a detailed immigration plan . All three call for a citizenship pathway for immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Castro has gone the farthest, proposing that border crossings be decriminalized altogether, regardless of whether a migrant is seeking legal asylum under the existing process.

UN's Bachelet: Denying Fair Trials Leads to Radicalization
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet says all individuals suspected of crimes, even former Islamic State fighters, are entitled to due process guarantees. She warns failure to guarantee such risks further radicalization and violence.Bachelet reports more than 55,000 suspected Islamic State fighters and their families are detained in Syria and Iraq following the collapse of the militant group. Among them are foreign alleged fighters from nearly 50 countries, including thousands of families and children.The U.N. Children’s Fund estimates there are 29,000 children of foreign fighters in Syria, most under the age of 12. Bachelet says foreign family members should be repatriated, unless they are to be prosecuted for crimes in accordance with international standards.“Children, in particular, have suffered grievous violations of their rights - including those who may have been indoctrinated or recruited by ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, also known as Islamic State) not to perpetrate violent acts. The primary consideration must be their rehabilitation, protection and best interests,” said Bachelet, speaking Monday at the opening of the 41st session of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.Over the coming three weeks, the U.N. Human Rights Council will examine more than 100 reports. They include the records of individual countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Sudan and Venezuela. Global phenomena, such as torture, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, as well as topics crucial to women’s enjoyment of human rights at work, old age and climate change will be discussed.In her speech, Bachelet highlighted a number of these issues. For example, she voiced her outrage at the brutal crackdown by Sudanese security forces this month against peaceful protesters. More than 100 people reportedly were killed, and scores injured earlier this month.“I regret that the [Sudanese] government has not responded to our request for access to investigate allegations of serious human rights violations by the joint security forces during the crackdown … We have received allegations of rape and sexual abuse of both women and men during the crackdown, as well as information alleging that hundreds of protesters may be missing,” Bachelet said.The U.N. human rights chief also denounced the rising tide of hate speech and misinformation leading to attacks on religious minorities. In recent months, she noted, mosques, synagogues and churches have been attacked by gunmen, with large loss of life.In addition, she deplored the vilification of migrants and the criminalization of people trying to help them. She said more than 100 ordinary people in Europe have been arrested or prosecuted this year for feeding hungry migrants and finding them shelter. She said similar prosecutions of ordinary people trying to help individual migrants in distress also have taken place in the United States and elsewhere.
