Polygamists In The UK Can Get Benifits For All Their Wives. It's Only Fair...

You wonder why conservatives think it's ok to legislate marriage? Here you go (hat tip: Hot Air):

Officials said yesterday a review was now under way into whether the state should continue to pay out income support, jobseeker’s allowance and housing and council tax benefits to ‘extra’ spouses…

[I]f a husband and his wives arrive and settle in Britain having wed in a country where polygamy is legal, then the UK benefits system recognises his extra wives as dependents and pays them accordingly…

You allow gay marriage, where do you draw the line? Why not allow Polygamy as well? Why not lower the age of consent? Why can't a man be with a goat? Who are we to get in the way of his and the goat's happiness?

Aparently The Left Says 'Faggot,' Too. Who Would Have Thought?

Boy, apparently the Left loves to use the word "faggot." And no, it's not just a bunch of gays affectionately calling each other "faggot." It's the same kind of nasty, hypocritical bigotry we're used to seeing from the left.

Wil's Corner has the story.

New Headline Of The Year!

And again, in less than 24 hours, we have a new headline of the year:

Australia rocked by 'lesbian' koala revelation

Thank you, New Zealand Herald, for that one.

Rutheford wishes me to note that this in no way shows that homosexuality is natuarl, as the story mentions:

The furry, eucalyptus-eating creatures appear to develop this tendency for same-sex liaisons when they are in captivity. In the wild, they remain heterosexual.

Sounds to me like the horny little ladies just thrive under human care and hump anything in site. Kind of like gay thrive in San Fransisco and... Well, you get it...

Episcopalians Talk Sense To Anglicans

I'm surprised:

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania — Anglican leaders demanded Monday that the U.S. Episcopal Church unequivocally bar official prayers for gay couples and the consecration of more gay bishops to undo the damage that North Americans have caused the Anglican family.

In a statement ending a tense six-day meeting, the leaders said that past pledges by Episcopalians for a moratorium on gay unions and consecrations have been so ambiguous that they have failed to fully mend "broken relationships" in the 77 million-member Anglican Communion.

The Episcopal Church, the U.S. wing of world Anglicanism, must clarify its position by Sept. 30 or its relations with other Anglicans will remain "damaged at best."

"This has consequences for the full participation of the church in the life of the communion," the leaders said.

The meeting in Tanzania was the latest of several attempts to keep Anglicans unified despite deep rifts over how they should interpret the Bible. The long-simmering debate erupted in 2003 when Episcopalians consecrated the first openly gay bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.

Anglican traditionalists believe gay relationships violate Scripture and they have demanded that the U.S. church adhere to that teaching or face discipline.

Transgender 12 Year-Old

When I was 12 years-old I was convinced that I wanted to spend the rest of my life as a fire-fighting, time-traveling super hero who lived in space. Keeping in mind that I was wrong, read this:

A boy of 12 is believed to have become the world's youngest sex change patient after convincing doctors that he wanted to live the rest of his life as a female.

The boy - originally called Tim, but now known as Kim - has started to receive hormone treatment, in preparation for the operation that will eventually complete the sex change.

Tim was diagnosed as a transsexual two years ago, when doctors and psychiatrists concluded that his claims to be "in the wrong body" were so deeply felt that he required treatment. The therapy involves artificially arresting male puberty, with a series of potent hormone injections before the administration of female hormones to initiate the development of features such as breasts.

I'm glad society has progressed to a point where 12 year-old children are allowed to select their gender. Someone get this kid a GI Joe, for God's sake.

Moscow Human Rights Watch

With Moscow cracking down on dissension and killing former spies what "human rights abuse" does the media decide needs to be exposed?

Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov said Monday he would never allow a gay parade to take place in Moscow despite pressure from the West, Russia’s RIA-Novosti news agency reports.

“Last year, Moscow came under unprecedented pressure to sanction the gay parade, which can be described in no other way than as Satanic,” Luzhkov said at the 15th Christmas educational readings in the Kremlin Palace.

“We did not let the parade take place then, and we are not going to allow it in the future,” said Luzhkov who has been in office since 1992.

Sure they imprison wealthy political opponents for years without any real trial, but not allowing gay pride parades? Come on Moscow.

Viagra To Blame For AIDS, Not Sodomy

Another group of liberals unable to accept personal responsibility in their lives:

A major U.S. AIDS treatment group plans to file a lawsuit Monday that accuses drug giant Pfizer Inc. of illegally promoting recreational use of its blockbuster impotence pill Viagra.

The AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) told Reuters it wants Pfizer (Charts) to be barred from marketing Viagra as a lifestyle or sexual enhancement drug. The nonprofit organization said Pfizer's actions had led to risky behavior by men and an increase in HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Here's an idea. If you don't want to get HIV, don't commit sodomy with strangers. The gay community can blame nothing but their own perverse and hedonistic lifestyle for the AIDS plague sweeping through their ranks.

Group of Singers Attacked for Singing Star-Spangeled Banner, In SF.

It's stories like this that made you wish the San Andreas fault were moving West:

Members of the Baker's Dozen, the renowned, all-male a cappella singing group from Yale, are pummeled outside a New Year's Eve party after singing "The Star-Spangled Banner."

The attackers allegedly include graduates from Sacred Heart Cathedral, one of the city's oldest and best-known private schools.

...

The 16 singers showed up late to the party wearing preppy sport jackets and ties, and launched into "The Star-Spangled Banner."

A couple of uninvited guests started mocking them, and allegedly the words "faggot" and "homo" were tossed -- and so were a couple of punches.

The loud noise drew relatives from next door, who promptly ordered the house cleared.

The Yale kids, most of whom were staying with a family a block away, began heading home.

But witnesses said one of the uninvited guests -- who happens to be the son of a prominent Pacific Heights family -- pulled out his cell phone and said, "I'm 20 deep. My boys are coming."

According to Rapagnani and others, the Yale kids barely made it around the corner when they were intercepted by a van full of young men.

"They were surrounded, then tripped -- and when they were on the ground, they were kicked," Rapagnani said.

According to police reports, the cops arrived about 12:40 a.m. to find 20 people fighting in the street.

To the police, who were out in force to keep a lid on New Year's, it looked like just another drunken brawl.

But according to Rapagnani, "This was not a fight -- it was an attack."

Four of the alleged assailants were detained at the scene, then released after the cops took their names.

Meanwhile, Sharyar Aziz Jr. was taken by paramedics to San Francisco General Hospital, and later had to undergo reconstructive surgery in New York for a broken jaw that will remain wired shut for eight weeks.

Another unidentified Yale student sought treatment for a concussion, and a third for a swollen ankle and other abrasions.

...

Now authorities want the Yale students -- who have left San Francisco and will soon be back in school -- to return to the city to identify their attackers.

But dad Aziz said arranging their return won't be easy.

"The kids are scared s -- less of coming back to San Francisco,'' he said. "I'm just really frustrated.'

A few things: one, only in a city that outlaws guns and military recruiting, while at the same time celebrating homosexuality, bigamy, beastiality and various other forms of debauchery, do you get violent atacks on patriots in which the attackers scream homophobic slurs. Two, what the Hell does "I'm 20 deep mean?" and three, what's the world coming to when there are people "scared s---tless of coming back to San Francisco" for reasons other than disease?

Sick. These people had better be convicted.

I here tell that there are pictures and video here, for people who are interested.

Ultramontane, 6.37pm: Seems to me this could easily have been an intended "hate" crime against gays. They are an all male a cappella group who were wearing "preppy sport jackets and ties," plus the words "faggot" and "homo" were thrown around. However, it is San Fransisco, and the attackers were preps, so the intended target was more likely patriots than gays.
