Sex in the news.

Gay couple in Malawi throws an engagement party, gets sentenced to prison for it.

Got to protect "society" and "civilization" from the gays, don't we? Got to fight it with incarceration and intimidation. If this is the society that gays will erode and destroy well... maybe it needs to be destroyed.

I found this part to be heartbreaking:

Ahead of the verdict, the two men thanked their supporters, remaining defiant in a statement released through Tatchell.

In it, Chimbalanga said: "I love Steven so much. If people or the world cannot give me the chance and freedom to continue living with him as my lover, then I am better off to die here in prison. Freedom without him is useless and meaningless."

Meanwhile China is sentencing swingers to prison.

The article focuses on one particular member of a swinger club being persecuted for their activities. He's a divorced college professor who cares for his eldery, Alzheimer's-stricken mother. The article casually mentions that he apparently was known to host orgies in the apartment he shares with his mother.

Wait... Yes, China has no business in peoples' bedrooms and consenting adults can do whatever they want. But this guy is scum in my book. China's activities here are disgusting. What's also disgusting is no one - not China and not the media - seems to be very interested in seeing how well the guy cared for someone who can't care for herself.

Personally I don't think I know two people who get get in the mood while someone was dying of Alzheimer's in the next room, let alone an entire orgy's worth of people.

Chimbalanga's statement is truly heart-wreching.
I'm so sick of this kind of crap happening. Why can't we just let people live in peace?

It's a damn shame about the couple throwing the party.

It both angers and saddens me that gays in other countries cannot live in freedom the way Erik and I do. We are a threat to nobody, but even in this country the religious nuts are obsessed with us. You would think they'd have other things to concentrate on.

I'm just so sick of all the hate rhetoric, the attacks, the persecution of our brothers and sisters overseas. My fondest wish is that these people would just mind their own damn business.

After all, I don't care what goes on in their bedrooms.
