Sickening Religious Extremists Counter-Protest Jerusalem Gay Pride, Six Same Sex Couple Sue Hawaii Demanding Civil Unions, Hawaii Christian Coalition Head Compares Homosexuality To Smoking, Guys With iPhones Fun, Zac Efron, Ryan Phillippe Unzipped Again

As participants gathered in preparation for the eighth annual Jerusalem Gay Pride Parade Thursday, a group of religious anti-gay extremists organized a counter march, holding a banner that read “Sick Perverts – Get out of Jerusalem.” The anti-gay activists were led by Baruch Marzel, who said of homosexuality “it’s a disease of choice, and a man can change his taste and his ways,” adding that “when someone has AIDS they tell them not to infect others, so why are these people allowed to march here in Jerusalem and infect us with their disease?”

Six same sex couples in Hawaii are filing a lawsuit Thursday in Circuit Court, requesting that the court order that gay couple be permitted to enter a legal status – civil union – that would have afford them the same rights, benefits, and responsibilities that opposite sex couples can acquire through marriage, in other words asking that court do what the Hawaii Legislature could not or would not do: reverse Republican Governor Linda Lingle’s cowardly decision to veto House Bill 444. Among those participating plaintiffs is Linda Hamilton Krieger, along with partner Kathleen Sands. Krieger says that the rationale employed by the outgoing governor in exercising the veto - that the decision of civil unions or gay marriage is “of such societal significance that the people of Hawaii deserve the right to directly decide whether the changes contemplated by House Bill No. 444 should become law” – is in fact flawed logic. “In this country,” said Krieger, “we don’t put people’s fundamental rights up to a popular vote. If we did that, our school would probably still be segregated.”

However, according to Garret Hashimoto, the chairman of the Hawaii Christian Coalition, most state residents do not want the government to endorse equal rights for same sex couple, saying “I feel insulted. They keep bringing up Martin Luther King, black rights and women’s suffrage. This is not about that. This is about two males or two females practicing sex. It’s behaviour. It’s not different from smokers or drinkers.”

Ryan Phillippe, the most beautiful man in the world, must either be forgetful or packing a snake, because once again, post-Hollywood Foreign Press Association luncheon, his fly remains undone.

Actor Ryan Phillippe appeared to have forgotten to zip up his pants while doing a little shopping and texting on his cell while at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Annual Installation Luncheon at The Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, California on July 28th,2010. Hopefully Phillippe remembered his zipper earlier while accepting a $50,000 grant from the HFPA on behalf of FilmAid International. Fame Pictures, Inc
