Zimbabwe Gay Activists Back In Business As They Have Balls Of Steel.

Just incredible people. And focused on getting information out on HIV/AIDS. Wonderful.
The battle continues to assure basic human rights for LGBT people in Zimbabwe despite government harassment. The group Gays and Lesbians of Zimbabwe (GALZ) reopened its Harare office last month. The GALZ office had been closed after a police raid last August. Based on an interview with a Zimbabwean LGBT activist, the Washington Blade reported that GALZ, which has close to 2,000 members across the country, also continues to host HIV/AIDS workshops in Bulawayo. “When they raid our offices they think they are going to find pornographic materials,” the activist told the Blade. “When they come in there, they find it is a resource center. People are busy working.”
“I am told President Robert Mugabe’s party, ZANU-PF, is going to use the issue of homosexuality as one of their campaign tools,” the activist, who asked the Blade not to publish his name because he remains afraid of potential reprisals against him, said. He added his brother and most other Zimbabweans who oppose Mugabe will ultimately vote for him because of his strong opposition to homosexuality. “I strongly believe that they will use this issue to threaten the LGBT people in Zimbabwe. And they will do everything in their power to make sure that LGBT people are punished.”

Gay-friendly British rugby star Ben Cohen has claimed sports brand Reebok dropped their sponsorship deal with Welsh rugby international Gareth Thomas because he came out as gay. He was speaking at a debate at Britain’s National Student Pride today (2 March). The panel session on homophobia in sport also featured former Premiership footballer Graeme Le Saux who explained how he became the victim of homophobia in soccer, despite being straight. He said Thomas had told him Reebok cancelled their sponsorship deal with him because he revealed his sexuality in 2009.
READ THE REST HERE.
OOPS. He has apologized…….
My most sincere apologies to @reebokuk. The claims I made about Gareth Thomas’ contract were untrue. I was mistaken and I apologise. Ben

LEARN – According To ‘La Repubblica’ Homosexuals Control The Catholic Church And Forced Papal Resingnation.

Something about this story makes little sense to me. Like all of it. Members of the Catholic Church must take responsibility for the endless hate and repression the church has committed IN THEIR NAME. AND WITH THEIR PERMISSION. Leave us out of your guilt.
A potentially explosive report has linked the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI to the discovery of a network of gay prelates in the Vatican, some of whom – the report said – were being blackmailed by outsiders. The paper said the pope had taken the decision on 17 December that he was going to resign – the day he received a dossier compiled by three cardinals delegated to look into the so-called “Vatileaks” affair. According to La Repubblica, the dossier comprising “two volumes of almost 300 pages – bound in red” had been consigned to a safe in the papal apartments and would be delivered to the pope’s successor upon his election. The newspaper said the cardinals described a number of factions, including one whose members were “united by sexual orientation”. In an apparent quotation from the report, La Repubblica said some Vatican officials had been subject to “external influence” from laymen with whom they had links of a “worldly nature”. The paper said this was a clear reference to blackmail. It quoted a source “very close to those who wrote [the cardinal's report]” as saying: “Everything revolves around the non-observance of the sixth and seventh commandments.” The seventh enjoins against theft. The sixth forbids adultery, but is linked in Catholic doctrine to the proscribing of homosexual acts.
