I am glad to see someone, somewhere fighting for this. In the US if you are gay, as noted here, you can not donate- but you also cannot if you have a tattoo- or there may be a time limit I believe. Even though I hate needles- and am not a fan of donating blood, it is nice to see someone fighting for what they believe in. I wonder what this policy is actually if a loved one, non-relative, i.e. lover needs some blood if you can still donate it or not…

@Mayfair: I must agree, this is clearly a homophbic attack Nonsense !  As long as we dont know how they really behaved and acted , we cant consider this as a homophobic attack .

i rather wonder , why people get homophobic again , although many countries have established gay rights and people learnt to accept gays . Can it be that gays have to be blamed too ?

It sounds like someone is a bit insecure about their own sexuality and un-aware of his own countries lagalities! CHEERS for those enforcing the law! <not>The only earthquake any gays are causing are the ones where they have great sex!</not>

**Mass. and the churches that provided a meeting place for the Boy Scouts did not allow them to do this at all. They kept it very simple- you do not allow gays, find another place to congregate. I was a Boy Scout. Kinda funny when ya think about it. Reminds me of an all-boy school in fact. Let's put a bunch of boys all together and expect nothing anywhere near gay-related to happen AT ALL… haha hhmmm. I may be stereotyping a little here, but let's break it down... boys are: Curious Adventerous Mischievous Horny with dicks that randomly get hard The list could go on and on. Point is, You cannot put boys (especially under 18) together in almost any number for almost any period of time without something sexually occurring at some point. If you do, and nothing happens- I would check for abnormalities. lol Disclaimer: Not to say that if anyone else was in the boy scouts or with other boys etc and they didn't do anything sexual they are abnormal- it just isn't the majority. Might I add that my tenure in the organization was a great one. I surely learned much more than what they intended...  **

@raphjd: hXXp://www.365gay.com/Newscon07/06/061207porbus.htm Same-Sex Kiss Gets Teens Kicked Off Bus by 365Gay.com Newscenter Staff Posted: June 12, 2007 - 4:00 pm ET (Portland, Oregon) Portland transit officials are investigating a complaint that two teenage girls were kicked off a city bus after exchanging a kiss. The 14 year olds say that they were on a TriMet bus on Monday, heading home from school when they kissed.  After another passenger complained the driver allegedly called them to "sickos" and told them to "knock it off". One of the girls told television station KTVZ that her friend was visibly upset by the driver and that she then tried to comfort her with a hug. At that point, the girl said, the driver ordered them off the bus. TriMet said it is investigating the complaint and wants to speak with the driver. Fetsch said it is against TriMet?s policy to kick minors and ?vulnerable? people off the bus. The girls parents say they are considering lodging a civil rights complaint against the driver. Last month Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed into law an amendment to the state's non-discrimination laws that includes sexual orientation. The law, however, does not take effect until Jan. 1. LGBT rights groups had been fighting for enactment of the change for more than 30 years. 365Gay.com 2007 **I am glad this was not me. It would not have been pretty. It is interesting how around the world, different areas are subject to different PDA (public display of affection) tolerances. If this story, among thousands more- including Matthew Shepard does not influence everyone to be wise of your surroundings, then I feel for you. These were two 14 year olds. Girls at that… you would think the guy would be okay with it lol (If he was str8?) I remember being 14... but I was in a very Gay Accepted state with a lot of very strict laws regarding hate crimes and such. We would usually make out just to scare old people! Naturally, I and any of my friends and acquaintences have always expressed careful PDA judgement when it has come to children being around. They are too vulnerable to influence- not that influencing them to love, and not to hate isn't such a bad thing... Only when the MAJORITY of the world does not hate, will the world be a better, safer place.**

This is really good news for gays in the UK. Under current law, work and private pensions {ISAs and the like} are exempt from handing out widower's benefits. Even some state pension benefits are exempt from paying out to gay widowers under current law.

US Governor of Iraq at the time {with the US State Dept} wrote the Iraq constitution, outlawing m/m sodomy. I remember watching the BBC news when this happened and C. Rice said the topic was not open for discussion, that the Bush Admin felt it was the best thing for the US and Iraq to include the anti sodomy laws in the Iraq constitution.

well hellz-a-poppin

homosexuality is not taboo accross africa what is happening in africa is that the new politcal infrustructure is run by power mad nutcases who rule on a whim, usually designed to repress and control and keep in poverty whole populations so that they can lay claim to billion and billions and billions in personal wealth which ends up in banks in Switzerland . So penalising gays is no different a form of politcal oppression as stealing all the aid - it's the same thing in fact…...

you know when all this is over and done with when gay people finally get to happen when open gay kids are the norm when the bible turns out to be a load of balony that it is when the family unit survives the onslaught of diversity when all that is finally laid to rest…. who the hell are the conservatives going to bash next ??

yer but who the hell is she when shes not screwing around, binging on burgers, spending millions on crap and snorting coke off naked bodies at celeb pact orgies  ??

I think it's important to realise that the Poles are a civilised lot. You have to look at the little shits who've wormed their way into power and how that ability to corrupt the political process can still prevail ,anywhere actually. Remember under Margret Thatcher in Britain we had a 20 years fight for our rights which were halted in their tracks for a whole generation. It is important that people understand how politics works because if you dont the bastards get in and then your pooped.

hysterical - any pictures ?

well i wonder if thats true the hater is really trying to love - but he only knows how to love through extermination it's a tired old cliche isnt it - about 3 billion yrs old these things usually boil down to the rise of specific personalities within the ranks who get their moment of glory and bring down their wrath upon the world….. violence is a form of pornography after all...

good good good good good good good oggod i never understood why it has been aceptable to have records about murdering and decaptiating gays but the same for lynching blacks is seen as the opitomy of shame. absolutly staggering

when these despotic murdering tyrants who think they act for the good of their god suddenly go on a rant to persecute some group or other what do you think it is that set them off on some self righteous bender…? maybe their milk was off that morning, or their 50th  3 million pound new private jet  expected from japan has been delayed .... i mean - i really think this is what it comes down to with these maniacs.
