That's ridiculous and absurd. What could they be afraid of? The Red Giant going pink and fabulous? C'mon, this century is still your's, so live in accordance to it.

It's great to be Canadian eh?

Another one, yay!  ;D

Several Latin American countries or cities have legalised same-sex civil unions, but these
generally confer fewer legal rights than marriage.

Civil Unions are always inferior to marriage, because even if the country makes the them completely equal, international law refuses to accept them as equal to marriage.

Also, once gays get civil unions, the government says we got our equality, even though you can easily prove it's not equal, so they won't do anything else for us.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged,
and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air,
however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

-William O. Douglas
United States Supreme Court Associate Justice (1939-1975)

…Normally people like her who claim to walk the straight and narrow in the public eye will be exposed at some point.

I told you so. Karma is a bitch ;D

Carrie Prejean wasted no time getting into the nitty-gritty while on "Hannity" tonight – immediately saying her solo sex tape was "the biggest mistake of my life."

Yet other nations that claim to be gay friendly will still give them Billions a year in aid money.

Great news, now one of our mods can get married  ;D

UPDATE

More held over homophobic attack

Six more youths have been arrested over a homophobic attack on a trainee police officer in
Liverpool city centre.

James Parkes, 22, was assaulted by up to 20 people outside Superstar Boudoir in Stanley Street
on Sunday night.

He suffered multiple skull fractures and is in a "critical but stable" condition in hospital, police
said.

The boys, one aged 13, two aged 15 and two aged 16, were arrested overnight and bailed.
Another boy, 15, was arrested earlier.

Six others have been bailed.

Studying CCTV footage

All 12 suspects, who are from Kirkdale, Anfield, Kensington, Fazakerley and Walton, were
arrested on suspicion of assault.

The 15-year-old is still being questioned by detectives.

Mr Parkes was attacked as he left the bar with his male partner and two friends at 2200 GMT.

He previously worked as a community support officer before joining Merseyside Police as a
trainee officer in May.

Officers are still reviewing CCTV footage from a number of bars on Stanley Street.

The city's gay community have organised a candlelit vigil to take place at the scene of the attack
on Sunday evening.

Hundreds of people are expected to attend.
