By Lila Seidman June 3, 2016 At the only gay bar in the most sparsely populated independent country in the world, Zorig Alima tells me he’s a “penis shaman.” The proprietor of d.d/h.z says he can confidently predict men’s penis sizes and sexual predilections.

Lady Gaga Banned in China; Met with Dalai Lama
China’a authorities have forbidden Lady Gaga’s performance because she met with the Dalai Lama. Chinese authorities are bigoted idiots who live in fear and loathing of change, fear of humanism, fear of open-mindedness. They are wrapped in blindness and xenophobia–no surprise since their close neighbor is North Korea. Their ignorance is pathetic. Such attitudes keep

How utterly tragic. As billions of dollars are spend on warfare and as combatants violently die in blood, other countries slowly die of starvation.

Homophobia is Poison
Homophobia is an invisible emotionally-loaded issue for some straight people. It’s like religion that grabs a person’s core soul and cannot let go–even if it is poison.
The Gun Industry Says Massacres are Good for Business.
The bigger hoax is that even if every adult had a gun they would not be “protected”. It’s a hysterical myth that having a weapon makes one shielded from being shot. The vast majority of gun owners do not carry them to work, to church, to a nightclub, to school, in their car or truck.

Kenya: Primitive and Abusive Judicial Procedure–Anal Exams of Men
Last week, a judge and prosecutor in Kenya decided in court that anal exams prove or disprove homosexual intercourse. As any educated person knows this is totally bogus witchcraft and voodoo justice. Such thinking by supposedly intelligent professionals is overwhelmingly absurd and hard to believe in this century. It reflects total ignorance of human behavior,
