By NAYONIKA MANNA
It’s a bright, sunny day in Toronto. The sunlight streams through the windows, filling the space with warmth. Splashes of blue, green and red decorate the walls, where traditional Gurage grass-woven basket ornaments hang. The air is filled with the rich, bitter-sweet aroma of freshly roasted coffee and mouth-watering Ethiopian food. Soft jazz plays in the background, adding to the relaxed vibe.

TV Tonic Reflection on "Queer in the cradle of civilisation: a cultural clash"

Reflection by: Nayonika Parag Manna and Johanne Elina Nielsen
Our project in Greece focused on the contrast between the legal rights of LGBTQ+ individuals and the level of public support for those rights. According to Equaldex, the legal rights for LGBTQ+ people in Greece are relatively strong, rated at 90%. However, public support for these rights is only around 40%, which represents the second-largest gap between legal rights and public opinion in the world.

What is meant by the phrase, “Britain’s unwritten constitution”?

Constitution is a framework that defines how a country is to be run and governed. It helps provide rights and freedom to every citizen in that country. According to Morrison (2021, p. 5), a country achieves order and identity when its citizens “recognize a shared set of values” and such values should be “installed by fundamental laws and principles, and upheld by parliament, courts, and other institutions established to maintain and reinforce them”.
