Malta ‘One Of The Most Accepting Countries In The World’, BBC Says

Malta 'One Of The Most Accepting Countries In The World', BBC Says
Feb 1 2024 Share

In a recent article by the BBC, titled “Malta: The tiny European island of tolerance”, the world-renowned broadcasting organisation has hailed Malta as “one of the most accepting countries in the world in the past 20 years”.

The feature story delves into journalist Ramona Depares first meeting with Katya ‘Kaka’ Saunders, one of Malta’s first openly transgender public personas, and highlights Malta as having a ‘trailblazing transgender model’. This personal narrative serves as a testament to the island’s broader commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and inclusivity.

The article further acknowledges Malta’s significant legislative strides, noting that it is one of only five countries globally to enshrine LGBTQ+ equality at the constitutional level. This legal framework has supported Malta in maintaining its first-place position for eight consecutive years on the ILGA-Europe Rainbow Index, which evaluates countries based on their LGBTQ+ equality laws and policies.

Moreover, the BBC article underscores Malta’s continued prioritisation of equality, pointing out that 2024 marks the 20th anniversary of Malta’s first pride march. Such milestones underscore the country’s progressive stance on LGBTQ+ rights, despite being a nation where 94% of the population identifies as Catholic.

The piece concludes by reflecting on the remarkable progress Malta has made, emphasising the impressive nature of these achievements in a predominantly Catholic country.

“All in all, it’s impressive progress for a country that also happens to be 94% Catholic”, the article concluded.

Lewis Hamilton to Join Ferrari for 2025 F1 Season

Feb 1 2024 Share

In a groundbreaking revelation by SkySports News, the Formula 1 world is set to witness a monumental shift as iconic driver Lewis Hamilton is poised to join Ferrari for the 2025 season. This move comes as Hamilton’s illustrious stint with Mercedes is drawing to a close, with his contract expiring next year.

The seven-time world champion, who has not savoured the taste of victory since December 2021, is set to bring his unmatched legacy of 103 wins and 104 pole positions to the storied Italian team.

Hamilton’s decision to part ways with Mercedes, a team with which he became the most successful driver in F1 history, marks a significant chapter in his racing career. Despite his unparalleled achievements, Hamilton’s recent seasons have been challenging, with the last win eluding him for over a year.

The F1 paddock is also abuzz with speculation that Carlos Sainz might make a move to the new F1 team, Audi, in 2024, indicating a major reshuffle in team dynamics. Furthermore, Ferrari’s announcement a few weeks ago about a new contract for Charles Leclerc adds another layer of intrigue to the Scuderia’s future lineup.

This historic transition for Hamilton to Ferrari not only promises a fresh chapter for the British racer but also sets the stage for a thrilling 2025 season as he seeks to reclaim his winning ways in the cockpit of a Ferrari.
