David Bahati, Shreveport Extends Anti-Discrimination Laws, Katy Perry Transphobic, Peggy Noonan Blames Adam Lambert, Spock Gay Sex

The BBC, perhaps as an act of penance, publishes another reminder regarding Uganda’s proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill, and the critically criminal consequences the measures carries for “acts of aggravated homosexuality.” David Bahati, the Bill’s sponsor, parroted the language of American Evangelicals, continues to contend that in Uganda “we don’t recognise homosexuality as a right. We are after the sin, not the sinners. We love them, and we want them to repent and come back. It’s not an inborn orientation, it’s a behaviour learnt, and it can unlearnt. That’s why we are encouraging churches and mosques to continue rehabilitating and counselling these people.”

Shreveport, Louisiana City Council Monday, according to the Shreveport Times, voted unanimously to approve a resolution supporting Mayor Cedric Glover’s executive order that protects city employees, job applicants, and city contractors from discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability.

GLAAD is none too happy with Katy Perry, the “singer” who has made a career co-opting a faux-homosexuality stance, having posted a ridiculous tweet December 6th mocking what appears to be a transgender man, Perry’s loathsome, inane comments certainly the markings of a pop cultural imposter, or at the very least, someone deeply disconnected.

Peggy Noonan – throwing caution to the wind and in return catching crazy – manages to locate the source of all of society’s ills and it is Adam Lambert, naturally, Noonan’s nutty declaration coming courtesy of the Wall Street Journal.

A love story for this or any other age (or other galaxy), thanks to an ingenious reediting of a Zachary Quinto audio book, giving life to love that now dares speak its name – Capitan Kirk and Spock. Obviously, as a warning, it is NSFW.
