And Men Who Have Sex With Men On HuffPost Live

There's been a lot of discussion in recent months about the controversial Gardasil vaccine which has been shown to protect against some types of the human papillomavirus (HPV).

The disease, which is spread via skin to skin contact, can cause genital and anal warts and, more troublingly, cervical cancer for woman who become infected. However, while much of the conversation about the vaccine has centered around women, men – including men who have sex with men (MSM) -- are also susceptible to HPV and research shows that Gardasil may also protect them from certain kinds of the disease.

Doctor and television personality Dr. Oz recently dropped by HuffPost Live to discuss the vaccine. Watch the clip above, also featuring Dr. Diane Harper, who has studied Gardasil, to learn about HPV and why men should consider getting vaccinated.

BELFAST, Northern Ireland – Unmarried and same-sex couples in Northern Ireland should be allowed to adopt children, a Belfast judge ruled Thursday, rejecting a 1987 adoption law that discriminates against both groups.

Gay rights activists praised the ruling in favor of a lawsuit pursued by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission. But Health Minister Edwin Poots, an evangelical Protestant opposed to gay partnerships, said the government would appeal.

"It is my intention to urgently appeal this judgment and I am taking this action with a heavy heart," said Poots, who called the ruling against the best interests of children.

Belfast High Court Justice Seamus Treacy ruled the law clearly violated European human rights laws on privacy and discrimination.

Other parts of the United Kingdom already permit gay and unmarried heterosexual couples to adopt children. But Northern Ireland's law restricts applicants to married couples and single adults, including gays.

Northern Ireland's chief commissioner for human rights, Michael O'Flaherty, said the successful lawsuit "sought to protect the best interests of the child. Given the high numbers of children in care, who need a family in Northern Ireland, the importance of this case in widening the pool of prospective parents cannot be overstated."

More than 2,500 children in Northern Ireland are in state care awaiting adoption.

John O'Doherty, director of a Northern Ireland gay rights group called the Rainbow Project, denounced the government plans to appeal the judgment as "wasting public money on a fool's errand."

He accused Poots of "allowing his personal prejudices to influence his public responsibilities."

Northern Ireland, like the rest of the U.K., legalized civil partnerships for gay people in 2005. Two years later, Britain devolved most government powers to a cross-community government of British Protestants and Irish Catholics, most of them religious conservatives.

oday marks the last day of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network's Ally Week, a week for "students to identify, support and celebrate Allies against anti-LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) language, bullying and harassment in America's schools."

While we frequently hear about famous allies who support LGBT causes – from Brad Pitt, to Anna Wintour to President Obama, it's not as common to hear professional athletes speak up on behalf of LGBT people.

Perhaps due to the hyper-masculine atmosphere of the locker room and playing field or court, the sports world has often been viewed as markedly homophobic. But that doesn't mean that LGBT allies don't exist in professional athletics. In fact, more and more players are speaking up and out about marriage equality and LGBT rights.

Below have a look at our slideshow of straight professional athletes who’ve lent support to the LGBT community. Who would you like to see on the list? Be sure to leave your comments in our comments section below!

'We Focus On Talking About Their Adoption Story And How Families Are Different'

As part of our Family Friday series, every week we spotlight one family, share the story of their love and send lots of love and support to them from our own huge family all over the world.

Since we've launched our Family Friday series, we've gotten so many beautiful submissions from you and we've been genuinely touched by your stories. Your families are beautiful. Thank you.

Ever since we started asking for you to send us photos of your families, our inboxes have been brimming with smiling children that literally melt our hearts. When Scott emailed us about his beautiful family, we couldn't get over the glowing faces of his children, Chance and Charley. Together with husband Daren, Scott was kind enough to sit down and give us some details on how his incredible family came to be. So without further delay, meet Scott (Daddy), Daren (Papa), Chance (4) and their daughter, Charley (3).

How did you and your partner meet?
We met in 2003 while vacationing separately in Chicago. Daren lived in Kansas City and I lived in Raleigh. As cliche as it sounds, our eyes met across a nightclub and I told my friend I wanted to meet that guy. I ended up changing my flight home and stayed an extra day so we could spend more time together. We returned home and began a long distance relationship, traveling back and forth between Kansas City and Raleigh every 2-3 weeks. After about 6 months I decided to move out to Kansas City, so we could start our life together.

Tell us about your wedding. What state did you get married in? Did you have to leave your residential state to do so?
We are a legally married couple! We were married on May 1, 2009 in Des Moines, Iowa. Marriage is definitely one of those milestones in life that we never thought would be available to us. As we had been together for 6 years, we were already married in our hearts, but being able to have an actual ceremony and getting that marriage certificate was somewhat validating and liberating. While the marriage doesn't provide us any legal protection or rights since we live in Missouri, the point is that the institution of marriage is just as important to us as it is with any other heterosexual couple. Most importantly, we wanted our children to be raised in a family where they can indeed say their parents are a married couple. The decision to get married came about quickly, as some friends were getting married and asked us to join them. The ceremony was a courthouse wedding and we got married in front of a few friends, our son and my now, mother-in-law. Unfortunately the suddenness of the ceremony didn't allow for us to have all our family and friends with us as we only had about 2 weeks to make it happen.

Has your extended family embraced your nuclear one?
Our children have been welcomed by our families and have earned a spot in their hearts. You can't help but fall in love with these kiddos. Unfortunately all our family lives out of town or state. They get to see Daren's parents more often, but they only get to see the rest of the family once or twice a year.

How do you explain anti-gay feelings to your children?
Since the kids are younger, we haven't had the gay discussion yet, let alone how society is so conflicted on that topic. Right now we focus on talking about their adoption story and how families are different. We are learning that you answer their questions and don't elaborate more than needed. Over time their questions evolve and they want more details. They know that their family has two dads, while also realizing they have a mother that lives somewhere else. Besides they are more concerned about who gets to watch which cartoon or fighting over the same toy.

What's your favorite memory about your family? Or tell us what makes you proudest of them.
Above all, it makes us proud to see how happy they are. That's what every parent wants for their kids, so now we just have keep that going the best we can. Since Chance is a year older, he has had more opportunity to create a proud moment. He played soccer with the YMCA for the first time last spring. He had gotten knocked to the ground and started crying and wanted to quit. Daren talked to him and encouraged him to keep trying. He decided to go back into the game and ended up making the winning goal. From across the field you could see how happy he was and then he suddenly sprinted across the field, and grinning widely ran into his papa's arms so he could proudly boast that he made the goal. To brag a little, Chance has learned all 50 states and can recognize them by shape – and he learned that at home, not pre-school.

Charley has proven to be extremely strong willed already. Any time you try to call her by a nickname, she gets irritated and states, "I am Charley, not a princess!" She has a natural tendency towards swimming. She loves the water and has no fear. She is already out swimming her big brother. She has a nurturing and creative personality, which has helped her in making new friendships. She knows how to work her daddies, too. Whenever she senses us getting upset and our voices rising, she stops us and says in the sweetest voice, "Daddy/Papa, I love you!"

How was your adoption experience? Did you encounter any obstacles in the process because you're an LGBT family?
Our experience was an amazing whirlwind. We were initially trying to adopt internationally as we thought it would be easier, but that proved to be wrong. While waiting we got a phone call from our agency in PA (Adoptions From the Heart). They told us about a baby boy that was born 2 months premature and was being released from the hospital in a few weeks. The problem was they couldn't find a family for him and for some reason they thought of us (even though we were trying to adopt internationally). We talked about it and acknowledged that we were called for a reason and we needed to take a chance with this and said yes. In a weeks time, we had to get all our paperwork re-done so we could adopt domestically. We then drove 22 hours to reach the hospital in Philadelphia the day before he was being released. The next day we were the parents of a 5lb little boy named Chance.

About 10 months later we were back in Philadelphia to finalize the adoption and told the agency that we wanted to adopt again, but was in no hurry. About 3 weeks late they called to tell us about a little girl that was due to be born soon. Again they were having some trouble to find adoptive parents for her. After a mild panic attack, we said yes and suddenly we had a 1 year old and a beautiful newborn named Charley.

Since being together, have you come across any unique challenges by having not only an LGBT family but a multicultural one as well?
We chose our agency because they worked with gay families, so we had an extremely positive experience. We really haven't had any issues, being such a diverse family. We obviously get a lot of looks and you can see people start talking. We can quiet a room though! I try to look at it as we are at least prompting conversations and if people watch how we interact as a family they will see that we really aren't that different. We have had lots of unusual and rude questions which have been balanced out with the encouraging comments.

We have been fortunate that until recently they were in a pre-school where they were adored. But there wasn't the diversity we needed so we have recently changed their schools. We were caught off guard one day when Chance said he wanted to be white like his friends and his parents. We had talks about loving his skin color and that hasn't come up again. Hopefully a more diverse school setting will help. Right now our number one challenge is mastering the hair of our daughter. That's just not an easy task.

REMINDER: If you'd like your own family featured on a Family Friday, please email us at [email protected]. Remember that family is what we make it, so if your family is you and the pack of LGBT folks who you'd go to the mats for, send them over. We want to see them, too.

Cute and young indeed. too young for me.

The soldiers want to have fun. They want to humiliate the wannabe-terrorists. They command Kostja to jerk and get hard. The shy boy tries his best and once he finally had a boner the soldiers tie him to the wooden grid. Then they drag Ahmed there. He has to sit an Kostja's hard dick. "Fuck him!" And better fuck hard!" Commanded to fuck each other the wannabe-terrorists have to entertain. They get spanked and carried outside in order to please the soldiers, to suck all cocks and lick the heavy boots.

Marks is a 23 y/o Marine who said he's thought about being in porn for a while. It wasn't until recently when he got into a little financial trouble that he asked his wife's permission to show off his uncut dick to the world in order to make some cash. Marks said he was excited about baring it all. Even so, he was a tiny bit nervous since it was his first time "doing it alone on camera" as he put it, so he was a little shaky out of the gates. Suddenly, though, he seemed to start having fun with it. He really played to the camera, and seemed to especially like the close-ups on his thoroughly rigid cock. Marks dropped his hands to his side a few times, letting it stand erect on its own. It has quite the downward curve! Even though Marks is married, he said he still finds time to jerk off. Lots of time, apparently. "I jerk of everywhere," he laughed. "Bathroom. Bedroom. Couch. No surface is safe." Thankfully, he held off and saved up a 2 day load for his porn debut. Marks stroked faster, using his foreskin to rub over the tip of his cock. He started panting as thick white globs of cum shot out halfway down his leg

Teen says Sandusky chased him in car as he ran away: ABC

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The 18-year-old who triggered the prosecution of Jerry Sandusky for sexually abusing him and nine other boys told ABC News the former Penn State coach once chased him down with his car as he tried to flee.

Aaron Fisher, previously known as Victim 1, has revealed his identity since testifying against Sandusky at his June trial. Sandusky, 68, was convicted of 45 counts of child sex abuse and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Fisher was just 10 when he met Sandusky through the former coach's charity for at-risk children, The Second Mile, in 2004. At first, Sandusky seemed like "the all-natural father figure," Fisher told ABC in the "20/20" interview broadcast on Friday night.

But after a year of box seats at Penn State football games and weekend trips with the coach, Fisher said he was being sexually abused in Sandusky's basement, leaving him confused and ashamed.

"Being a kid, you never know what to do. You don't know who you can tell because you don't know who you can trust," he said on ABC.

The attacks continued for years, with Sandusky misusing his position as a volunteer coach to pull the boy out of class. Fisher's attempts to hide or flee were met with a tightened leash, and Sandusky became aggressive.

"He once followed my bus home from school," Fisher said. "I took off running but he drove on the opposite side of the street, onto oncoming traffic to catch up with me. I ran up an alley and he went to my house and parked out front."

Fisher has revealed his identity in interviews before the October 23 release of his book "Silent No More: Victim 1's Fight for Justice Against Jerry Sandusky," published by Random House.

"A victim means people feel sympathy for you. I don't want that. I would rather be somebody that did something good, like a hero or something," Fisher told ABC.

When he was 15, Fisher broke down and told his mother, Dawn Daniels, and the school's principal, Karen Probst, that Sandusky was sexually abusing him.

"Aaron was melting down in the office," Daniels told ABC. "I immediately told them we need to call the police."

But the school principal advised her to go home and think over her next steps.

"They said that Jerry has a heart of gold and that he wouldn't do those type of things," Daniels said.

Instead, Daniels told the principal she would be calling Clinton County Children and Youth Services. School officials, legally mandated to make such reports, called too.

Probst did not return calls from Reuters for comment.

It took three years, two grand juries and a lengthy search for more victims before Sandusky was arrested in November 2011, just before Fisher's 18th birthday.

The long delay in prosecuting Sandusky drove Fisher to attempt suicide, he told ABC, especially when investigators told him they needed to find more victims.

"You start to doubt yourself," Fisher said. "I thought maybe it would be easier to take myself out of the equation. I was extremely suicidal.

"It's a fact that I lost a good portion of my childhood," he told ABC. "I endured heartaches and numerous amounts of people who didn't believe me and walked away from me."
