• In Saudi Arabia, twenty men were arrested during a purported gay wedding, which had 400 men in attendance. Homosexuality is illegal there and punishments are determined under Islamic law. [IOL]
• Call them "mutant" (and damn fortunate) HIV patients: As many as one in every 300 people infected with HIV will never see the worst effects from it. Doctors want to go after these "elite" examples of HIV infections, which never lead to AIDS, but such lucky individuals often don't want the attention. [Reuters]
• In Georgia, Georgia Tech University repealed protections for gays in its student housing code of conduct to comply with the findings of a lawsuit filed by two students (who were represented by the Christian law firm Alliance Defense Fund). Students will no longer face the threat of punishment for using gay epithets and derrogatory language based on orientation. [Advocate]
• In Britain, a retrial of murdered lesbian Mandy Power finds a one David Morris guilty, which clears suspicion – at least legally – that it was Power's ex-lover Alison Lewis who killed her, her two children, and the children's grandmother. [BBC]
• In Oregon, the longtime leader of the Oregon Christian Coalition and staunch anti-gay advocate, Lou Beres, admits to sexually molesting young girls. [AP]

RE: Saudi Arabia
So 400 men attended the alleged gay wedding? WOW. Too bad they didn't gang up on the Virtue & Vice brigade and mete out some punishment of their own. Imagine how that would play in the Muslim world: 400 gays taking a stand and beating the shit out of faith-based bigotry. Maybe one day...
RE: GA Tech
I happen to live in Atlanta, not very far from GA Tech, and let me tell you that I find the school's decision to abandon its protections for gays and lesbians quite odd. That decision makes as much sense as dropping protections for blacks because the KKK filed suit. What happened to fairness? What happened to protecting minorities from oppression by the majority? Besides, what gives the faith-based-hate community a right to overturn such protections? Their religion is very offensive to me, but I doubt that I would be allowed to demonstrate on the Tech campus against them. In fact I am sure that these same people who sought to remove protections for gays and lesbians would be screaming and moaning if such protections were taken away from them.
Regarding the Saudi story, homosexuality is punishable by DEATH (usually hanging). Why shy away from that fact, Queerty? Let's not be so PC when it comes to the global jihad that all westerners are facing, including gay men and women.
