* Asian shares higher on trade deal optimism, Europe to track rise * Investors remain on edge amid mixed messages from Trump * Oil eases slightly before OPEC meeting * Asian stock markets: tmsnrt.rs/2zpUAr4 By Stanley White and Noah Sin TOKYO/HONG KONG, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Stock markets in Asia inched up on Thursday on the possibility that China and the United States may soon seal a “phase one” deal to end their 17-month trade war, but conflicting messages from U.S. President Donald Trump kept a lid on the advance.

Not only China, but other countries have also felt it is difficult to deal with the US.” In contrast, it argues, “the US faces an increasingly confident Chinese people, something it is uncomfortable and unfamiliar with.” … [Read more...] about With Communism Less Popular Than Ever, China Derides ‘Divided States of America’

RIO DE JANEIRO (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Gay Brazilians rushed to the altar ahead of President Jair Bolsonaro taking office, according to newly released data that campaigners say reflected fears the incoming leader would clamp down on their rights. Same-sex marriage in Brazil rose 62% in 2018, and a fifth of the 9,520 gay weddings took place in December, according to Brazil’s government statistics agency IBGE. The right-wing Bolsonaro, who once called himself a “proud homophobe,” took office on Jan. 1, 2019 after being elected in October 2018. Rights advocates said Bolsonaro’s election led many LGBT+ people to the altar for fear that he might pass legislation limiting their right to wed. “The LGBT community knows its rights, and this conservative wave led to a reaction, to reaffirm this right and defend it,” said Claudio Nascimento, of Brazil’s LGBTI National Alliance, a non-profit group. Same-sex marriage is legal in 27 countries, … [Read more...] about Gay marriage soared ahead of Bolsonaro presidency in Brazil
