What do U.S. Army officials think will happen  if they change the present law requiring homosexuals to be dismissed from the army? Apparently gay people won’t be able to work alongside straight men and women because there would be too many ‘distractions,’ which is what John McCain thinks. I mean, how archaic is this guy? He [...]

Two men are facing court charges in Malawi for gross public indecency, which can land them in jail for up to 14 years.  As much as I disagree with what’s going on in Malawi, this stuff still happens in the United States and other developed countries.

Where’s Colvin’s evidence?

This just has dirty written all over it. I don’t think this will be pretty for either side. I hope the three can last in jail over there.
