Pregnant Man Gives Birth To A Baby Girl In Argentina

Last Wednesday, December 18, the first baby to be born to transgender parents in Argentina was delivered via C-section in the province of Entre
Ríos.

The proud parents are 26-year-old Alexis Taborda and 28-year-old Karen Bruselario.

Alexis was born a woman, but lives as a man and Karen was born a man, but lives as a woman. Because of
Argentina's Gender Identity Law passed in May of 2012, the couple have both been able to legally
change their genders without gender reassignment surgery, which meant that when they got pregnant
via natural means, it was the man, Alexis, who carried the baby. So what about the baby?

Well, the baby was due on December 22 via scheduled C-section, but couldn't wait.

Alexis started having contractions the weekend before the
scheduled birth, and the baby was born "early" weighing 9.37 pounds (that's a big baby) at Hospital Fermín Salaberry in Victoriain.

The couple named their baby girl Génesis Evangelina.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday announced the discovery of 44 new mineral deposits in 800 locations across the country in addition to the over 50 billion barrels of oil reserves. He also disclosed that efforts were being made to generate power from coal in line with his administration transformation agenda.

Man Receives 20 Lashes For Practicing Homosexuality in Bauchi

Image
A Nigerian man has received 20 lashes after an Islamic court in the northern city of Bauchi convicted him of homosexual offences. Under Islamic law, courts can punish homosexual acts by stoning to death. But the judge said he took into account that the Muslim man, Mubarak Ibrahim, 20, carried out the acts seven years ago, and had stopped the practice. In Nigeria, homosexual acts are illegal under both Islamic and secular law and restrictions have been tightened. Earlier this month, President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection. The new legislation applies throughout Nigeria. Most states in the predominantly Muslim north of Nigeria have adopted Islamic law, known as Sharia, since the end of military rule in 1999. Along with Mr Ibrahim, 11 other Muslims and a Christian man were arrested last month accused by the authorities of being homosexuals. He was also ordered to pay a fine of about $30 ...
