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.
