Chinese Court Dismisses Lawsuit Over Gay Blood Donation Ban, League Against Cruel Sports And British MP Joins Calls To Demand Calgary Stampede End Calf-Roping Cruelty, Emmy Nomination Surprises Including Several Out Actors Earning Spots, Glee Cast Makes Guys with iPhones Appearance, Joe McElderry Not Gay Despite Suggestions Otherwise, V Magazine Celebrates Spanish Male Model Sexiness, Cristiano Ronaldo Names Baby Boy, Cristiano Ronaldo Caught On Date With Mysterious Male

According to reports, a court in Beijing has rejected an attempt by a Chinese man, identified in court documents as Wang Zizheng, to sue a Red Cross centre in the capital city after his blood donation was denied by he is gay. China’s health ministry guidelines state that “homosexuals and those with multiple sex partners” are prohibited from donating blood. Wang said he was not deterred by the court’s decision and that he will “not give up on his duties” and would pursue justice through other avenues.

The League Against Cruel Sports, a United Kingdom animal welfare charity that was instrumental in banning the practice of fox hunting in Britain, has lent its support to the Vancouver Human Society and the VHS campaign against calf-roping at the Calgary Stampede – what is in fact an unadulterated exercise in brutality. This comes as a coalition of MPs in the United Kingdom tabled a motion in the House of Commons condemning rodeos and calling upon the Canadian government to “take steps to end the immense cruelty to animals in events such as calf-roping, which is practiced at rodeos including the Calgary Stampede.” The League is also asking UK travel agencies to stop promoting package tours to the Calgary Stampede, saying that “Canada is a beautiful country with so much to do, there really is no need to be abusing animals in this way for entertainment. We know from our opinion polls that British tourists vote with their feet on other animal welfare issues such as bullfighting, and we will be persuading them to do the same with the rodeo.”

The 2010 62nd Primetime Emmy Award nominations were announced Thursday and thankfully there were first time nominations for Friday Night Lights’ Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton, both impossibly great since season one.

The best supporting actor in a comedy series sets up a battle between three out actors – Glee’s Chris Colfer, How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris and Modern Family’s Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Jane Lynch was nominated for her work on Glee as well. But again with Monk’s Tony Shalhoub: seriously, who does the man sleep with?
