Prison Officials Allow Conjugal Visits

A queer convict in Mexico did some historic humping this weekend.

The man - known only as Ricardo N - got lucky after his love-seeking boyfriend, Augustin N., filed a human rights complaint against the prison for denying their right to screw. Not quite as romantic as imprisoned South African gays' fight for marriage rights, but a step in the right direction.

The commission ruled against the Santa Martha Acatitla in February, saying such a penile penal prohibition counted as discrimination. Though the prison never publicly announced the coupling, the commission confirms that prison officials allowed boys to get down and dirty:

The Mexico City department of prisons and rehabilitation has allowed the first conjugal visit to an inmate with a sexual orientation other than heterosexual. [This is] an important step in terms of nondiscrimination regarding sexual preference.

And, we imagine, an important step for poor Ricardo's limp wrists!

It's been forty years since British parliamentarians signed the Sex Offenses Act, thus decriminalizing faggotry. The social sea change helped millions of homos ride on out of the closet. It also thrust homosexuality into the cultural spotlight, making gays - and their sex lives - one of the most talked about subjects in all the land.

Now, British journo Simon Fanshawe wants everyone to "bloody" shut up about the queers and focus on the person, not the sexual position.

How things have changed even since I came out, in 1976. Endlessly now, I get asked on to chatshows and debate programmes to discuss the state of homosexuality. Over a hundred years after the wonderful Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde termed it "the love that dare not speak its name", it has become the love that won't bloody well shut up.

Eeks! Do you think he's talking about us?

Anti-Gay Rev. Raises Free Speech Query

Canada's become a free speech battleground. Our neighbors to the north are preparing for a hearing on whether or not a homophobic reverend should be held accountable for a letter equating homos with pedophiles and drug addicts.

Reverend Stephen Boissoin's 2002 open letter read,

From kindergarten class on, our children, your grandchildren are being strategically targeted, psychologically abused and brainwashed by homosexual and pro-homosexual educators.

Your children are being warped into believing that same-sex families are acceptable; that kissing men is appropriate.

If that's true, we're way fucked.
