This thread is to chronicle breaking news concerning gay rights, gay activities or news.  It is not intended as an opinion thread(there are many others already in which to do that, or start your new one).

If possible, please cite your source.  Please limit this to news and citations only.

Mine today is from endtime.com's online daily radio program, Politics and Religion, just a few minutes ago.  You can hear today's program there after today(it is "live" today).

The news, mentioned there by host Irvin Baxter:  The nation in the world with the highest incidence of people involved in gay or lesbian activity:   Australia--at 17%.  17% of the population.    I'm not sure what his source, there, is.  Brother Irvin states this about half way through the 1-hour program.

Didn't you know - the government has CCTV cameras in everyone's bedrooms here?  

[Symphony]

Yes, ebia, point taken--how would they know.  

Anyway, the article is listed today at Drudge's web page(drudgereport.com)--The Courier Mail:  

Australia 'world's gayest country'

MORE than 17 per cent of Australians are involved in gay or lesbian relationships, putting the country equal first in the world for its proportion of homosexuals, according to a new worldwide survey.

The article goes on to say that America is second to Australia, in the number of same-sex relationships, in the world.  A study made by a world-wide condom manufacturer.

Also, another article at drudgereport.com, today,

"Hugh rise in sex diseases, in UK"

Surprise, surprise.

I heard the Australian thing today on the secular news as well.

No wonder ebia defends it so much.

I heard the Australian thing today on the secular news as well.

Since most of the media repeat each other, this is unsurprising.

No wonder ebia defends it so much.

eh?

ROTFL!!

I am an Australian and I haven't heard that news as yet.  But, it really wouldn't surprise me.  They're in the cities.  I'm outback.  If they come here, they are ordered to leave as quietly...and as quickly as possible.  No tears...no fuss...just a few words spoken from the right source..." Better get back to the city mate...we've got children in this town."
So...back to the city they go. We only recognise Actual men and women here.


Love...Tamara

Hmmm, thank you, Tamarra.  That sounds good.

I'm in a small, rural village here in North America.  The local newspaper apparently doesn't allow anti-gay letters to the editor any more;  I've only seen maybe three or four in the last ten years, and that was several years ago..  I'm pretty certain it's going on here though, but they don't flaunt it(yet), as in the cities.

Apparently, I'm beginning to find, you aren't suppose to be critical of anything, just like in Jeremiah.  

Here's a piece of Gay News... http://www.wftv.com/news/2534849/detail.html

Thanks Symphony!

That's why we refuse to have them in our town!  We have children living here.  These children are protected in my Australian outback town by the people in the town.
We have a policeman.  And what goes on in other town's we know about.  They have police too.  And, sodomy is a thing we won't tolerate.
I know Australian's are shocked by the Sydney Gay Festival. But, many police are in it now.
Not here...that's why we keep clear of city people.  If they buy a holoday house here, they are constantly watched, not only by the policeman, but by the people.
We have Neighbourhood Watch in Australia.  And, where I live, we abide by it.  We watch out for each other.
And, the children are precious.  
In time, they have to go to the cities to work.  But, their tuition here about homosexuals is intense.  They are taught to stay clear of all strangers in the city.  And, they stick with other kids from the country.
It's a tough life today!  Education isn't just reading, writing and arithmatic anymore!

Love...Tamara.

Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Stands


OTTAWA, OCT. 9, 2003 (Zenit.org).- Pro-family groups lost a major battle in their struggle against same-sex marriage when Canada's highest court rejected their bid to appeal a lower court decision, the Globe and Mail reported.

A five-judge Supreme Court of Canada panel ruled unanimously that the Association for Marriage and the Family in Ontario and the Interfaith Coalition on Marriage and Family cannot appeal a judgment by the Ontario Court of Appeal that found the traditional definition of marriage to be unconstitutional, the newspaper said.

In the new year, the Liberal government likely will introduce legislation to allow same-sex marriage.
