News of the day
Starting off with three from The Homosexual Agenda:
Uganda's proposed law to jail gay people for life is expected to cause strife at a Commonwealth summit. It would also jail people for three years who know of a gay or lesbian person and who don't inform the police within 24 hours, jail those for seven years who defend gay rights, and put to death HIV+ people convicted of having sex with someone who was HIV-.
Maple Leafs's manager says he couldn't be prouder of his gay, hockey-playing son.
Controversy continues over Adam Lambert kissing a male dancer during his live performance at the American Music Awards.
Google places disclaimer over image result for Michelle Obama, but won't remove it from searches. Ironically, it's probably at the top of the list because of negative attention.
In September, a US Census worker was found hanged in Kentucky with "Fed" scrawled on his chest; the authorities are now saying it was a suicide staged to look like a homicide.
A Lebanese man has been arrested and sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia for witchcraft. He was a TV psychic broadcasting from Beirut into Saudi Arabia.
Three US airlines have been fined for stranding passengers on a plane for nearly six hours.
Canada is considering a ban on drop-side cribs in the wake of the largest crib recall in history. More on the recall itself, which applies in Canada and the US.
A French obstetrician is arguing that having fathers in the delivery room interferes with labour and causes problems, such as increased rates of Caesarean delivery.
A study has found that British police are less likely to believe a rape victim if she lives in a poorer area.
Starting in 2011, Britain will educate children as young as 5 on gender equality and how to prevent violence in relationships.
Along with recommendations to reduce mammograms, we have new recommendations to significantly reduce the number of Pap smears a woman gets.
Old but exceedingly cute news from miss_chance: I know when you hear "polar bear attack", you don't usually think "cute!", but trust me on this one.
