Which is the world's most LGBT-friendly city?

Amid a mass of colour and pounding Latin rhythms, revellers at this year’s Bogotá Pride march
waved banners stating “not one step back”. They were among tens of thousands who took to the
streets to celebrate and support Colombia’s LGBT community.

Many annual Pride marches that were once solemn protests against repression have become
celebrations of now-existing rights or progress, reflecting the strength of LGBT communities.

In Bogotá, for example, the capital of a macho and socially conservative country, there has been
surprising progress in LGBT rights.

In March, Angélica Lozano Correa, a former member of the Bogotá city council, became the first
openly LGBT person to be elected to the country’s Senate. In 2016 the country’s government
passed laws allowing same-sex couples to adopt and marry, and the previous year it granted
transgender people the right to change their identity on official government documents – policies
which have allowed more equality and openness.

Trump: Court defeat on asylum policy 'unfair to

US'
"A 9th Circuit judge just ruled that Mexico is too dangerous for migrants," he tweeted. "So unfair to
the US."

His policy would have returned migrants back over the border while they sought a legal right to stay
in the US.

The legal defeat comes as migrant numbers at the US-Mexico border surged to their highest since
2008.

Mr Trump was said to be livid after US immigration officials estimated border apprehensions in
March had topped 100,000.

The San Francisco ninth district judge's order on Monday against the migrant policy is not due to go
into effect until this Friday, giving US officials a chance to appeal.

Tommy Fleetwood reveals Masters 2019 plan ahead of
Augusta showdown
Tommy Fleetwood says “winning is what it is all about” as he seeks his first ever victory on the
PGA Tour this week.

The Ryder Cup star trailed Rory McIlroy by two shots on the 17th tee in his last strokeplay event at
The Players – and fearlessly fired at the flag on the island green.

His 9-iron bounced off a sleeper and into the water – a bogey that saw him finish in a tie for fifth.
But before the first Major of the ­season, last year’s US Open ­runner-up promised the same
-aggressive approach if he is in contention on the back nine here on Sunday.

The first player into the Augusta press room yesterday also wants to be the last on Sunday evening.
“I’m always going to play to win,” said Fleetwood. “Why would people expect me to play for the
middle of the green if I had a chance of catching Rory?
