# LGBTQ rights in Togo

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) people in Togo face legal challenges not experienced by non-LGBTQ residents. Both male and female forms of same-sex sexual activity are illegal in Togo, with no legal recognition for same-sex marriage or adoption rights.

## Law regarding same-sex sexual activity

While it was the German Empire protectorate Togoland, same-sex sexual activity was made illegal in 1884. The German Empire lost control of Togoland in 1916.
Same-sex sexual activity is illegal in present-day Togo via the Penal Code of 13 August 1980, with a penalty of one to three years imprisonment and a fine of 100,000 to 500,000 CFA francs.

## Adoption of children

According to a website of the French government, single and married people are eligible to adopt children. The website does not say whether LGBTQ people are disqualified.

## Living conditions

No law protects persons from discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
The U.S. Department of State's 2011 human rights report found that,
   The law provides that a person who engages in a consensual same-sex sexual act may be punished by one to three years' imprisonment and fined 100,000 to 500,000 CFA francs ($208 to $1,041). There were no prosecutions [in 2011] for homosexuality or the often related charge of indecent assault. The eight persons arrested for same-sex sexual conduct in 2010 remained incarcerated. Societal discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity occurred, and there were no known lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender organizations.

# Roseanne Skoke

Roseanne Skoke (born September 11, 1954) was the Liberal MP for the riding of Central Nova from 1993 to 1997.

## Political career

Central Nova had been considered a safe Progressive Conservative riding, but its popular MP, Elmer MacKay, did not run for reelection in 1993. Skoke was elected in the gigantic Liberal landslide of that year as the party swept Nova Scotia and won all but one seat in the Atlantic provinces.
She was one of the more socially conservative members of the Liberal caucus, drawing great controversy for her remarks on homosexuality in 1995, calling it "unnatural and immoral."
Due to redistribution prior to the 1997 federal election, Skoke was forced to run against fellow Liberal MP Francis LeBlanc for the Liberal nomination in her riding, which was renamed Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough. She was defeated due, in part, to controversies surrounding her. She refused to campaign for LeBlanc in the 1997 election leading some Liberals to blame her for LeBlanc's defeat at the hands of Peter MacKay.
Skoke attempted a political comeback by running for the leadership of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party later that year. She placed third.
In 1998, she unsuccessfully attempted to win a seat in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly by running against John Hamm in Pictou Centre during the provincial election.

## Legal cases

In the 1980s, she was one of six people charged and convicted for disturbing an act of solemnity during a service of religious worship after she insisted on kneeling for communion at her Catholic church. Those convictions were later overturned in the Supreme Court of Canada.
In October 2015, she began a private lawsuit against the bishop and Diocese of Antigonish after the diocese announced the coming closure of Our Lady of Lourdes church.

# The Woman Who Powders Herself

The Woman Who Powders Herself (French: La Femme qui se poudre) is a 1972 French black-and-white experimental horror short film written, produced, and directed by Patrick Bokanowski. The short film, which contains no dialogue, follows a cast of masked figures (similar to those of Bokanowski's later 1982 feature film L'Ange) engaging in a series of outlandish acts.

## Synopsis

A group of uncanny figures wearing crude, disfigured masks are portrayed occupying themselves with a variety of unconnected tasks, set to an unsettling film score. One of the figures is seen removing pieces of cloth from a well whilst a scarecrow mocks them. Another—the titular character—applies makeup to her "face" as she prepares to go out with an accompanying figure. A figure exits their house and wanders a vast wasteland as an arabesque song plays, encountering an ancient Egyptian style sphinx statue. Two figures accompany each other, one lying on their deathbed. A physical altercation occurs between a gathering of figures at a dinner table.

## Film print

The short film's original 35 mm print was purchased by the Centre Pompidou in 1993, and is currently stored in Level 4 of its Musée National d'Art Moderne.
# Werne's Row

Werne's Row is a row of five nearly identical Châteauesque mansions in the Old Louisville neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The houses were built for Joseph Werne, a prominent jeweler and antiques dealer, in 1897. Werne and his wife lived in the house overlooking the corner of 4th & Hill, while Dr. William Wathen resided in the blue house bordering Belgravia Court. The interiors of the houses were designed by Claude Balfour, while the exteriors were "intrusted to Mr. F. W. Mowbray", who also designed Louisville's Union Station.
All five homes are very similar in style except for small ornamental features. Although only one foot apart, none of the houses touch. A private park for the Wernes existed behind the five houses; it has since become a parking lot for the Belgravia Court Association.
Three of the homes are subdivided into apartments, while the other two remain single-family dwellings.
