Of course the Iowa same-sex marriage decision was big this week, here's what else hit the queer presses:
- Vermont is also hot on the trail of approve same-sex marriage, although they're going the route of the legislature and not the courts. The governer has promised to veto, but there might be enough votes to override.
- New recruits to Catholic Priesthood in Australia will be tested on their gayness first. I wonder what kind of percentage is required to pass?
- As a means of protesting the Pope's unhelpful remarks that promotion of condoms might in fact increase the spread of HIV/AIDS, France is selling Pope condoms.
- Among the more than 100 prisoners awaiting execution by Iraq's newly U.S. installed government are many that have committed the crime of homosexuality. Amnesty International demands the list of names and accusations and are monitoring the situation. It is unlikely that Iraq is concerned about fair trials.
- Zac Efron gets cuddly with another man on the Graham Norton Show.
- Researches have, for the first time, filmed how HIV spreads to other cells in the human body.
- Apparently, Japan has made it so you can get gay-married in other countries and it will count in Japan.
- Meanwhile, over in Europe: Zurich got a lesbian mayor and Moscow has rescheduled their Pride to line it up with Eurovision, the worlds most-watched non sporting event. Time will tell if the extra publicity will keep Moscow from baning Pride yet again.
Activist/bloggers have set up the site Boycott Jamaica until the country 1) Publicly commits to end gay bashing on the island and improve the human rights situation and 2) A statement from the Prime Minister clearly and unequivocally condemning violence against GLBT people and expressing regret for past violence- UFC President Dana White rants about fa#gots on his video blog, then apologizes at the request of GLAAD.
