Bucks County Community College officials answered "I do" to the school's gay-straight student alliance's request to hold a Valentine's Day marriage ceremony in the cafeteria of the Newtown Township campus. Bucks County was the site last year of a lawsuit by several legislators against a couple who applied for a marriage license.
In Indiana, high school counselors aren't as prepared as they might be regarding gay issues.
Taiwan: Shrugging off her government's policy of rating publications for their sexual content, Must Muster Publishing, the first lesbian books publisher to join the upcoming Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE), says it won't seal or give a restricted rating to its books because they contain information about lesbian issues, not sex.
Philippines: Two communist rebels in the Philippines truly became brothers in arms when the men were married in a jungle camp, a newspaper has reported. Draped in a red flag with hammer and sickle in gold sequins, they exchanged vows, walked under an archway of
assault rifles and were serenaded with revolutionary love songs by a choir of New People's Army comrades. Critics called it propaganda.
New Zealand: It's fruity, pink, requires a certain taste and is targeted at the gay community. Guess what it is. No, silly. It's Pansy! wine.
In Africa, they're worried about the spread of "pervert sexual behavior" in schools. Translation: More kids are coming out.
