  • The Man Who Wants Everyone To Know That Harry Styles Has A Foreskin

    Penis activist wants young American fans of Harry Styles to know that he has a foreskin.

    Glen Callender is a foreskin crusader and he’s on a mission to ensure that our foreskins stay intact. Speaking about his mission and specifically about One Directions’ Harry Styles he said to Noisey Canada

    “I think it’s important from a cultural point of view that we make it known and educate that Styles has an uncircumcised penis,”

    “We have a lot of North American girls who are being conditioned from their respective cultures to say that foreskin is yucky and they don’t even understand that they young beautiful men they idolize have their penises intact.”

    Callender sees it his mission to stop the forced circumcision the world over.

    Callender who created the Canadian Foreskin Awareness Project also has a Pride, called, Foreskin Pride.

     

    ”The foreskin is a pleasure organ, it makes people happy, and that’s what the world should be like.” Callender told Noisey Canada.

  • Tim Farron Asked Three Times If Gay Sex Is A Sin

    The newly elected leader of the Liberal Democrats has failed to quash fears about his moral views on homosexuality after failing to answer whether he thought gay sex was a sin or not.

    During an interview on Channel 4 news earlier this week, Cathy Newman asked the new leader “Personally, do you think as a Christian, that homosexual sex is a sin?”

    Christians “do not go around forcing their views on other people” he answered and failed to answer the question. Cathy Newman then quoted a Leviticus quote, to which he responded: “My faith is based upon my belief that Jesus Christ is who he said he is”

    So evasive was he over the question she asked three times.
    The Brian Paddick backed Tim Farron was elected the new leader of the Liberal Democrats after former Deputy Prime Minister and Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg stood down.

    Tim Farron has come under pressure after abstaining on the gay marriage vote.

    Stewart McDonald MP for Glasgow South Tweeted,

    “Sorry Tim, but it’ll take a lot more than sound bites to convince anyone that you’re serious about LGBT equality.”

     

    Guardian columnist Giles Fraser suggested that if Tim Farron thought that gay sex was sinful that the future of the party was in trouble and that he was “utterly lost as a LibDem leader”.

     

    In 2007 Tim Farron voted against the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations in 2007, a law which protects against discrimination based on sexual orientation in the provision of goods and services. The law was used to bring Asher’s Bakery in Northern Ireland to account for refusing to make a cake with a pro-gay marriage slogan on it.

  • Tim Farron Wins Liberal Democrat Leadership Race

    A new leader has been announced for the Lib Dems.

    The Brian Paddick backed candidate, Tim Farron has won the leadership battle to front the Liberal Democrats. Tim Farron is the party’s former president.

    Speaking about Farron’s record on equality issues Paddick remarked,

    “Tim Farron has come under a lot of criticism from people who either deliberately or simply misread Tim’s position when it came to votes in the House of Commons on equal marriage,

    “He did ask for a change in the timetable to allow more discussion over complex issues around people who have honestly held beliefs who are currently employed as registrars, for example, who would feel very uncomfortable because it conflicts with their faith to conduct an equal marriage ceremony. He felt not enough time had been allowed in the parliamentary time belt to discuss those issues.”

     

    Tim Farrow had been up against Norman Lamb who said,

    “This leadership election has energised and united our party. Tim Farron will be a passionate leader of our party, championing social justice and leading from the front in our campaign to rebuild the liberal voice in our country. I will give him my full backing.”

    “Tim Farron received 56.5% of the votes and in second place Norman Lamb received the backing of 43.5%.”

  • What Happens When Two Men Try To Hold Hands In Russia

    ChebuRussia TV of YouTube decided to try a social experiment on the streets of Moscow to see what would happen when two men held hands in public.

    Using a hidden camera in a back pack to capture the response from the general public, two men from ChebuRussia held hands in the Russian capital city of Moscow. The couple endured abusive outbursts from various people around the city, with some pointing fingers and shouting abuse at the couple, with one man yelling “Leave Russia”.

     

    Most of the outbursts towards the couple were from men.

    Two passersby physically assaulted them by walking directly into their path on two separate occasions.

    One member of ChebuRussia said, “I’m a bit frightened by his reaction, he hit hard”, after the assault.

  • Wal-Mart Sued After Failing To Insure Gay Employees After DOMA Ruling

    The US’s biggest grocery retailer is being sued for discriminating against a same-sex couple.

    A woman is suing Wal-Mart, a company, which owns the UK Asda brand, after failing to offer health insurance to her wife after DOMA was struck down.

    Jacqueline Cote, 52, is suing her employer, Wal-Mart after failing to extend its insurance benefits to its gay employees after the Defence of Marriage Act, DOMA, was struck down in June 2013. Wal-Mart only started including same-sex couples in January 2014.

    Cotes is alleging that her wife, Diana “Dee” Smithson had spent, according to a complaint filed on Tuesday in Boston federal court, in excess of $150,000 (£95,913) on medical treatments fighting ovarian cancer, which were uninsured. She claims it is in violation of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964.

    Wal-Mart did extend insurance benefits to gay couples in January 2014.

    In an email to Bloomberg who originally reported the story, Brian Nick, a spokesman for Wal-Mart said, “[Walmart’s] benefits coverage previous to the 2014 update was consistent with the law.”

    Ms. Cote’s class action suit will be the first of its kind since the United States Supreme Court made same-sex marriage legal across all of the USA.
