Around the Gay Globe: Bahrain Hates Fags, Poland Hates Fags, Singapore Hates Fags Oh, and did we mention Moscow hates us too? The small, backwards Middle Eastern island nation of Bahrain has been trying to crack down on homosexuality in recent months, surveying beauty salons and spas, heightening customs inspections to prevent foreign gays from entering the country, and launching a study to determine how widespread the disease of buttfuckery may be in the country. Now it seems they're targeting children, hoping to punish those students who might "veer" toward homosexuality.
In other depressing news, and this is a couple weeks old but it may be worth mentioning that Poland has skirted around their homophobic policy issues with the EU, signing on while securing a provision that they're allowed to ignore the LGBT protections extant in the rest of the union.
It's like 1960 in Russia still, and Moscow's mayor is warning against gay gatherings at this year's May Day festivities. His representative is saying that it's "a matter of surprise and indignation that gays plan to carry out unsanctioned gatherings in various parts of Moscow during the Festival of Peace and Work. There could be bloodshed and no one wants that." Also, a Singaporean television station and a cable company have each been fined for "promoting homosexuality" by, in one case, airing an episode of home design show that featured a gay couple, and in the other, airing a music video that featured a lesbian kiss. This from the land with the stick so far up its ass that they don't allow chewing gum to enter its borders, so we're hardly surprised. All the more reason not to go anywhere and just stay home and watch Gossip Girl. Just kidding. We're done reporting on real news for a while. Just kidding. No we're not. Just kidding.
