One more country to join all those countries which already allow same-sex civil unions.
Congrats to them!

Hypocrisy is right but at the same time its an understatement.

I would leave it to hypocrisy if it was just some random dude spewing hate on the internet.

But a politician with power to affect public opinion, and therefore their votes and possibly resulting legislation?

@Waldo1215:

Love how the article claims the System "failed" Lea yet Lea is the one who failed to obey the system in the first place. As Jim Carrey would say: "STOP BREAKING THE LAW ASSHOLE!"

Exactly. In a lot of these cases (if not ALL of them) these people were drug dealers who were shot in deals-gone-wrong or similar circumstances.

Not all religious people are evil.

My dad's side of the family is deeply religious, and they don't hate anyone.  The same with my husband's mom.

My uncle is a youth minister, and he preaches that Jesus accepts everyone.

My husband's mom left her old church because the new vicar preached bigotry.

Reminds me of when a group of boys wore skirts when it was too hot, because they could not wear shorts.

This is exactly what people are starting to do these days in Madrid: people get together at home to drink so that people don't spend money outside. Or people drink on the street (like drinking in a park) and then go to the clubs.

@raphjd:

People tend to get drunk at home, then go to the clubs, skipping the pubs and bars.

Sadly, even in our country HIV is synonymous to AIDS. And this is mostly true that in my country those who contacted HIV sooner of later became a full blown AIDS, due to lack of knowledge on this matter and the medication provided.

I think Golden (2015) was already posted here years ago. Yeah it was a beautiful short

I know the article is from 2016. Just wanted to post something that I like… didn't know it was going to bother someone... sorry for that...

Really good to hear decrease in HIV rates. I agree that other STI/STDs are as problematic and everyone needs to be more vigilant to minimize spread

Wow! What a labour of love and showing of acceptance

Absolutely 🙂

The official stance was that masks be worn at all official events, but no social distancing is required.

It has been 200+ days since the last case of local transmission.

Taking decisive action early on was what saved the island from another epidemic from occurring there.

True that in some countries it is still very difficult to come out, but in some others in which it used to be unbelievable to have people freely coming out there has been a huge improvement.

It is a very, very small step forward… he talks about "civil marriage", but not "religious marriage" (I don't think we will ever see that happening)... I have very close friends who are catholic and would love to also be able to celebrate a "religious marriage". For them, the fact that the Pope is for "civil" marriages is not important news: in Spain we have been able to celebrate civil marriages since 2005.

@buffboybryan:

Ive not seen that dude in anything. Not really my type. That's some funny fucking shit seeing him called out on it.
As Far as the rest of this conversation goes. All lives dont matter until BLACK LIVES MATTER!
Stop being racists jerks.

Black lives don't matter until they matter to blacks.

No lives matter until babies matter

BLM is based on lies and defending criminals, not law abiding citizens.

If you want to get into factual discussion about BLM, we can have that.

A lot of Bernie supporters voted for Trump.

Go on a liberal Facebook page and read the comments.  You'll see lots of homophobia, sexism, racism, and whatnot.
