Russia is not a gay-friendly country.

Each year, Moscow has denies a permit to groups wishing to hold a Gay Pride Parade, even though the denial has been repeatedly ruled illegal by European Courts. This year, Moscow has again said no to a Gay Pride request.

Then there's the 'Gay Propaganda' legislation in various parts of Russia that make showing homosexuality in a positive light a criminal act. A country-wide version of the law is now being debated.

This all makes the results of a recent poll, though chilling, not all that surprising.

According to the Levada Center, over 70% of Russians think public displays of homosexuality are unacceptable. Only 12% think it's okay.

As well, 35% of respondents said same-sex relations were a disease or a result of psychological trauma, and 43% thought it was a bad habit.

Only13% said homosexuality should be punishable with jail time, though another 38% of respondents felt gays needed treatment. Only 38% felt homosexuals should be left alone.

Gay marches are often met with violence, sanctioned by authorities and ignored by police. And just last week a young man was tortured, sexually assaulted with beer bottles and killed after coming out to two 'friends.'

Russia will remain a sad, backward country for years until it smartens up!

Her name is Linda Harvey, and she is one of the walking jokes of the religious right. In her world both Harry Potter and Halloween should be banned because they promote Satanism. Oh, and get this: she also hates the gays! (What? But we're so loveable!)

Her latest claim is that LGBT news publications are turning children gay.

“Internet pornography can be the kerosene on an already simmering fire of adolescent hormones and confusion, and these feelings can bring them to precisely the wrong conclusion," she said on her radio program. "Manipulating feelings in the wrong direction is what pornography does anyway. Homosexual-themed pornography is extremely accessible to young people if they ever visit any websites covering the gay agenda as news."

"For instance, if your child was during a report on same-sex marriage just researching the political issue and visiting sites that are sympathetic to the social and political goals of the homosexual movement may quickly bring them in touch with explicit images because many of the homosexual news blogs have soft-porn gay dating sites or worse as ads."

After all, didn't Oscar Wilde turn gay after reading The Advocate? And I swear Rock Hudson was literally on the straight and narrow until he saw a suggestive dating ad on Queerty.

Of course, we should expect no less from a woman who says homosexuals should not get any rights because gay people aren't even human, and that same-sex wedding talk is making kids have gay sex.

So why bring her up? As someone somewhere once said: know thy enemy. And Linda is the perfect representative of the ignorance the LGBT community still faces each and every day.

Linda Harvey Has Never Said Anything Hateful, Dishonest, Disgusting or Homophobic [Truth Wins Out]

The Internet is abuzz about a billboard in New Zealand put up by Tui, a beer company in New Zealand.

The simple sign reads, ''Dad's new husband seems nice. Yeah right."

Tui's Facebook page was filled with people complaining the ad is ''homophobic'', ''disgusting'' and ''offensive'' since it first appeared on April 24.

One person posted: ''I have always had a good giggle at your billboards as I drive down the Hutt motorway each morning, but I am pretty disgusted by the one I saw yesterday. Homophobia in this day and age? Really??''

Tui shot back, with marketing manager William Papesch pointing out that the Tui ''Yeah Right'' Billboards have been around since 1994.

''Our intention with the current Tui Yeah Right billboard 'Dad's new husband seems nice' was to highlight the common situation or uncertainty experienced when someone's parent remarries.

''Given the recent passing of the Same Sex Marriage Bill in Parliament, this 'Yeah Right' line is a topical spin at the age-old situation of a parent's new partner.''

Well, it has finally happened: an active player for a major league sports team has come out of the closet.

Jason Collins, who plays for the National Basketball Association (NBA) with the Washington Wizards, made the announcement to Sports Illustrated (available in stores May 6).

His coming-out essay starts with "I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay."

He didn't plan on becoming the first out player of the NBA, "but since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, 'I'm different.' If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I'm raising my hand."

You can read the entire essay online at Sports Illustrated.

A 22-year-old Walmart employee has been arrested for prostitution. Police are alleging Foster Bills allegedly solicited "sexual encounters” inside a Queensbury, New York store while he was on the job.

Police were called in by managers who had received “an anonymous complaint of a male subject performing sexual acts in a secluded location.” Clean up in aisle three ... 

The police report claims Bills would set up meetings on Craigslist and then actually met the johns in the Walmart bathroom. (I think I'd prefer aisle three, thanks!)

Bills was arrested “after he accepted cash for sex from an undercover State Police Investigator.”

I guess you can get anything you need at Walmart.

The Boy Scouts of America has been criticized for not allowing openly gay members. After much debate, it is now proposing to lift the ban ... but there's a catch!

The proposed change will allow gay youth to become Scouts, but gay adults will still be barred from leadership roles. The policy shift will be voted on in May during a National Council meeting in Texas.

"While perspectives and opinions vary significantly, parents, adults in the Scouting community and teens alike tend to agree that youth should not be denied the benefits of Scouting," the BSA said in a statement. "The proposed resolution also reinforces that Scouting is a youth program, and any sexual conduct, whether heterosexual or homosexual, by youth of Scouting age is contrary to the virtues of Scouting."

This would mean that gay Scouts can now earn the prized Eagle Scout Award, something that has been denied many young men solely because of their sexuality.

However, the BSA is afraid that allowing gay adults as Scout leaders would result in a mass exodus of members. So soon you can be an openly gay Scout, but once you become an adult you will be asked to leave the organization. That makes perfect sense (not!).

GLAAD has created a new campaign called "Coming Out for Equality." Celebrities like Jackie Chan and Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander took part in hopes of encouraging others to come out of the closet in support of gay rights.

“It’s not enough to talk about those fighting for freedom, for equality, until you are one of those fighting,” Jackie Chan says.

Others stars involved in the campaign include Kristen Johnston (Third Rock From The Sun), Pauley Perrette (NCIS), Sarah Shahi (The L Word), and Tamala Jones (Castle).

New Zealand is the 13th nation, and the first in the Asia-Pacific region, to legalize same-sex marriage. The bill to recognize gay marriage passed with a vote of 77-44.

Same-sex civil unions have been recognized in New Zealand since 2005, but the government introduced the Marriage (Definition of Marriage) Amendment Bill to "ensure that all people, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity will have the opportunity to marry if they so choose."

"We did it," Labour MP Louisa Wall, the bill's lesbian sponsor, said following the vote. "In our society, the meaning of marriage is universal-- it's a declaration of love and commitment to a special person. Nothing can make me more proud to be a New Zealander than passing this bill."

"We cheered, yelled, cried and sang-- it was just amazing," performance artist Jake Andrew added. "I am so happy, not only because I can now marry the person I love, but because New Zealand has moved a step further towards gay and lesbian people becoming completely equal with the rest of society."

Now if only we could convince Australia and the US to follow suit ...

Last week, a study was published that confirmed what we all suspected: penis size is important to women. 

“We found that flaccid penis size had a significant influence on male attractiveness,” concluded the study by biologist Brian Mautz at the University of Ottawa.  

In his study, women were shown computer-generated images of naked men with various body shapes, heights and penis sizes. A study group of 105 heterosexual women were then asked which picture they found most sexually attractive.

The study found that:

   - in 80% of the cases, body shape was a major factor, with many women preferring men with a v-shape torso;

   - penis size was a factor, but in only 5% of the cases;

   - height was a factor in only 4% of the cases

The study concludes that, if a man is average height, an increase in penis size will make him more attractive; if a man is tall, his penis size has more influence on overall attractiveness; if a man is short, the penis size makes no difference in attractiveness.  

I have a suspicion the results would be different if the subjects were gay men.

Quebec Court Judge Lori-Renée Weitzman ruled yesterday that Luka Magnotta will finally stand trial for first-degree murder in the death of Concordia University student Lin Jun (pictured).

The judge considered all of the evidence submitted during a preliminary hearing before rendering her decision. Magnotta, 30, will also be tried for causing an indignity to a body, producing and distributing obscene material, sending obscene material through the postal system and harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of parliament.

Few details of the evidence shared in court have been revealed, due to a publication ban. It was revealed that Magnotta fainted following some video evidence, and that he was allegedly diagnosed at a young age with schizophrenia.

Magnotta's defence lawyer did try to have the charge reduced to second-degree murder because, he said, there was no evidence that the murder, which was videotaped, was deliberate and planned.

It will take another year before the actual trial begins.

The former Mount Carmel, Tennessee Vice-Mayor, William Blakely (pictured), was arrested and charged with indecent exposure this week. He was caught - get this - while allegedly masturbating out his car window while driving 90 mph. How is that even possible?

Apparently this isn't the first time he's done it, with several complaints being made by female drivers who have witnessed his reckless driving and fast-moving penis.

In this latest incident, three women came forward to complain.

"At over 90 miles per hour, he had his penis out [the window]. He was masturbating," said one witness. "[A]nd that's when it got really, really bad."

That can only mean he had some sort of transmission leak.

To get a driver's attention, Blakely would wave and honk and expose his chest. He would then ask her to do the same. How he then angled himself, while still driving, for the money shot is anyone's guess.

Sadly, for Blakely, things did not appear larger in the rear view mirror.

Catholic supporters of gay marriage are being advised that they should not try to receive Holy Communion.

Edward Peters, a Detroit professor and legal adviser to the Vatican, argued that the Bible and Catholic Church clearly indicate that marriage can only exist between a man and a woman.

"Catholics who promote 'same-sex marriage' act contrary to" Catholic law "and should not approach for Holy Communion," he wrote. "They also risk having Holy Communion withheld from them ... being rebuked and/or being sanctioned."

His position was seconded by the archbishop of Detroit, Allen Vigneron, who said Sunday that Catholics who receive Communion while advocating gay marriage would "logically bring shame for a double-dealing that is not unlike perjury."

"Were we to abandon [positions against abortion and gay-marriage], we would be like physicians who didn't tell their patients that certain forms of behavior are not really in their best interest," said Vigneron.

Thomas Reese, a Catholic priest, claimed the position of Peters and Vigneron were in the minority. "Most American bishops do not favor denying either politicians or voters Communion because of their positions on controversial issues," he said. Still, he admitted that "about 30 or so bishops have said that pro-choice or pro-gay-marriage Catholics should not present themselves for Communion."

I'd love to pay Peters a visit one Sunday, accept Communion (does it burn the unbaptized?) and then walk away with a bumper sticker on my back saying 'Jesus loves gay marriage.'
