Kyrgyzstan Finally Found Voice Against Gays

Kyrgyzstan's New Voice
Last 27 February 2014, as Russian euphoria over the successful seizure of Crimea was nearing its peak, the Kyrgyz nationalist group Kalys held a protest outside the U.S. embassy, saying they opposed what they called the Western gay agenda and a recent Human Rights Watch report criticizing the treatment of gays by Kyrgyz police.

They burned the portrait of a local ethnic Ukrainian activist who had been vocal in his support of Ukraine's anti-Russia "Maidan" movement, called him a "gay activist," and called on Kyrgyzstan's parliament to take up a law banning "gay propaganda."

Rate of HIV Infection Increasing Among Gays

Bading AIDS
Around the world, the incidence of HIV in gay men is increasing consistently, growing at 2-5 percent annually. Although the U.S. transmission rate declined in the early years of the American epidemic, when activists were promoting condoms and HIV was constantly in the news, in recent years rates have begun to creep up again, especially after the lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender step up their campaign.

The sexual HIV transmission rate in men who have sex with men (MSM) is substantially higher than the rate seen in heterosexuals.

Women's Soccer
Feminism is laudable when taken into context, but it becomes unbearable when it tries to ignore all facts just to get to their point.

For instance, supporters of the Women’s World Cup decry at the way the world governing body, FIFA, has treated the women's game. Their main beef concerns the artificial turf fields; competing teams staying in the same hotels and lastly, a prize money pool one-third of what their male counterparts had available in Brazil a year ago. It seems it's all about the money.

Confederate Flag Flies High in NASCAR

Confederate Flag and NASCAR
When you have it, flaunt it. This is what Steven Rebenstorf did when he had numerous Confederate flags flying atop his canopy tent inside Daytona International Speedway.

It's been like that for years. And the 57-year-old Rebenstorf has no plans to take it down — not even if NASCAR decides to ban the embattled flag from its racetracks.

"I like Mexico. I love the Mexican people. I do business with the Mexican people, but you have people coming through the border that are from all over. And they're bad. They're really bad," he told CNN's Jake Tapper.
