The legislation makes it illegal to disseminate information to children even if it merely shows that gay people are just like everybody else. At Mayak, packed on Saturday night, gay men and women steered away from discussing the law, preferring to enjoy life, closeted as it is. About a hundred people were chatting at the bar, sitting in armchairs or dancing. Couples were sharing kisses. Everyone was waiting for the club's specialty: a drag show. At 1.30 a.m. on Sunday, the music stopped and the show began. (AP Photo/David Goldman)SOCHI, Russia (AP) — It's Saturday night at Mayak cabaret and the nightclub is packed.

1 Year ago, Benedict's announcement changed church

Posted: 10 Feb 2014 08:43 AM PST

In this file picture provided by the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano on Dec. 23, 2013, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, left, welcomes Pope Francis as they exchanged Christmas greetings, at the Vatican. It was a holiday at the Vatican and Pope Benedict XVI was speaking in Latin at an arguably boring ceremony announcing new saints, so few people were paying much attention. But what Benedict said a year ago Tuesday changed the course of the 2,000-year-old Catholic Church and paved the way for the historic papacy of Pope Francis. In his soft voice and in a Latin that the cardinals present strained to understand, Benedict announced that he no longer had the "strength of mind and body" to be pope and would retire at the end of the month, the first pope to step down in more than half a millennium. (AP Photo/L'Osservatore Romano, ho)VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI's longtime private secretary says his boss' stunning decision to resign paved the way for the "enormous impact" Pope Francis is having on the church and world at large.
