    A "pink" is a person of "more leftist political tendencies" and "Cultureta" a person "supposedly educated." This is what the XXII edition of the Dictionary of the Spanish Language that the 22 schools have agreed to adopt and incorporating nearly 3000 new terms.

    The printed edition will not be published until 2013, but the new additions and amendments can find today in its online edition (http://buscon.rae.es).

    It also says that "muslamen" are the thighs, "especially those of women." And an "anti-Spanish" in these times of ethnic nationalism, is one "contrary to everything related to Spain."

    "Bunuel" is a new adjective that refers to the filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Among the developments are also "Mayor", "spray", "homophobic" and "oenegé."

    What has not provided on the Internet edition of the dictionary is the term "gay marriage", a type of union that was approved in Spain in 2005 and Argentina also adopted recently. However, it will appear in 2013 printed edition.

    It started with ACT UP.

    actup.org is an evolving web site that is based primarily upon a vision described in Larry Kramer's "We Are Not Crumbs; We Must Not Accept Crumbs" speech and extends the reach of his vision to include readers and speakers of many different languages.

    Larry Kramer: “I wish to quote my friend, Eric Sawyer's, optimistic view that in the age of the internet we can do much of what we did in ACT UP meetings and on the streets, on the world wide web. The information technology available today could help end the need for those endless meetings. Creating a blog could, in fact, incorporate even more voices and varieties of opinions and ideas than any meeting ever could. Where ACT UP once had chapters in many cities, we could now involve thousands more via simple list-serves and blogs. We can draw in students and schools and colleges all over the world. It is the young we have to get to once again. Creating a blog would allow for expression and refinement of ideas and policies, like a Queer Justice League for denouncing our enemies. A well organized website could function as an electronic clearing house for sharing information, for posting problems, for demanding solutions, for developing and communicating action plans. List-serves and a website could coordinate grassroots organizing and mobilize phone, e-mail and physical zaps or actions. They could also be used to spotlight homophobic actions, articles, movies and tv, and laws."

    Global Voices.

    actup.org may appear to be a simple web site. However the entire web site, both in user interface and in content, is translated automatically into 52 languages simultaneously.

People around the world can use search engines like Google, using their own language, and be linked to actup.org in its completely translated form.

    actup.org provides a world-accessible space to support a global conversation, among individuals of many different backgrounds, on issues about achieving equality in rights and health regardless of sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions, borders or languages, in an effort to unleash power on a global scale.
