@trentreviso:

The march was an attempt by the Russian gay community to attract attention to the issue of human rights, especially as it relates to gays.

well, atleast they managed their goal (though not the way they intended).

Republicans will use any trick in the book to try to explain away their hatred of gays.

This reminds me of President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

In favor of civil unions, but not actually in favor of gay "marriage." And, in Clinton's case, she favors the right of states to deny both civil unions and marriage, if they choose.

I appreciate President da Silva's support. But, there is a long way to go, and much work yet to be done.

I have mixed feelings about Stephen Fry.

I like a lof of his work {he was great in Black Adder}, but I hate that he feels the need to insult the US at every turn to get the British public to like him.

@raphjd:

Either way, it shows how fucked up people can be.

precisely what i was thinking !

i'm at a loss for words and disgusted !

Next they'll be voting. What is the world coming to?

One would imagine hotels would WANT people to come to them.

I figure there have been lots of openly Gay Leaders, the catch here is that this one is the NATION'S leader (or whatever Iceland considers themselves)

Bravo for bringing this to our attention. I'd have to say monks should probably be a bit less flamboyant, it just isn't monk-like!

Yay 🙂

Something makes me think that one of Phread's sons turned out to be a friend of Dorothy.  I don't remember the details of how he was expelled from the family, removed from all family reports and even erased from the pages of the family bible.  I wasn't able to find what I'd consider to be a credible reference to it, but since the largest source of their new members is by generating family members, chances are high that they'd eventually get at least one of us.  According to CNN, as of March, 2006, he has 13 children, 54 grandchildren, and 7 great-grandchildren, and the Anti-Defamation site says the church has 71 members (January 2008).  3 of his children are "estranged", so the math looks pretty simple, until you consider spouses.

Anyway, here's another site that has some interesting things to say: hXXp://www.splcenter.org/intel/intelreport/article.jsp?sid=185

The study in that graph at the bottom is at least 4 years old.  It was published in 2004, but we don't know what year the actual survey was done.

As time goes by, more and more are becoming in favor of gay marriages, but it's a painfully slow process.  Even once the majority of people are in favor of gay marriage, we then need to get the politicians in favor of it.
