As a supporter of the death penalty, my take isn't that it's a bad thing that he was sentenced to death.  The bad thing is that he might not have been sentenced to death if he was straight.

Which is the title of said article. :P

QuoteRamzan Kadyrov has given Mohamed Salah honorary citizenship in Chechnya, taking advantage of the Liverpool forward's short stay in Russia's most controversial republic.

Egypt's national team are based in Chechnya for the World Cup despite outrage from rights organisations pointing to the region's crackdown on political opponents and a widely reported anti-gay pogrom, which Kadyrov has denied.

Don't forget the devilish John Wooden.

Wooden was outed a long time ago. Look up "Sam Gilbert."

A referendum was held today in Romania to change the constitution into making marriage strictly consisting of a man and a woman. The population reacted by massively...ignoring it, and the turnout was barely 20% (even with two voting days and the threshold for validity being as low as 30%).

QuoteWASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.

QuoteWASHINGTON — The Trump administration is considering narrowly defining gender as a biological, immutable condition determined by genitalia at birth, the most drastic move yet in a governmentwide effort to roll back recognition and protections of transgender people under federal civil rights law.

It's a totally predictable move on their part.

The Trumpites love nothing better than outraging gender activists, and the more riled up they get the activists against them, the better they like it. They know they can "sell" this debate to a majority of the population as 'our enemies' cause is fighting to let men into women's bathrooms'.

This moves the narrative away from 'Trump is a pathological liar, loyal only to himself, and even those he hand-picked as flunkies can't work with his bullshit'.

I just want to say that I was never under the false impression that the Trump Administration cannot sink any lower.

I thought we had reached Peak Trump with the UN speech but that illusion didn't last 24 hours.
