An anti-LGBT+ bishop from Nigeria has suggested that if Joe Biden wants the country to decriminalise homosexuality, he should take a Nigerian man as his “second wife”.

Cops fine gay couple because they couldn’t believe two men could be in a relationship
The men were stopped by police at a checkpoint and Ohayon tried to explain that they were taking care of his mother. The officers didn’t accuse him of lying about going to the mother’s home but instead didn’t believe that the men could actually be a couple.
“After we were asked why we were together, we said that we were a couple,” Ohayon recounted, according to the Jerusalem Post‘s translation. “They responded: ‘What do you mean?’ and we asked if he’d never heard of gay men and if he was dismissing the fact that we’re a couple.”
“So the second officer joined and they had a conversation between themselves about us…. The officer said ‘No way. There’s no such thing.

Gay Media Please Raise Your Standards
I’d like to clarify one thing for both Ramos and Timberlake. There are only two ways to be an ally in 2021, for someone like JT: You either suck a dick or you transition. Those are the only options, decided on by the council of secret homosexuals and transsexuals, millennia ago

Gay couple nearly killed by man shouting “fa***ts.” But he wasn’t charged with a hate crime.
Harvey Mullin Price was convicted this month on seven charges related to attempting to shoot and kill a gay couple. Price is still free on bail, and the couple is still in fear of their lives.
Avery was Price’s brother-in-law, until Avery and his then-wife divorced after he came out.
When Price found out, he vowed to punish Avery and then his new partner, Neal. When he found out that the couple was staying at a cabin built by Avery while he was still married to Price’s sister, Price made clear his intentions.
“He told me straight up that he would make sure that if I ever entered Hatchet Cove again that he was going to kill me,” Avery told CBC News three years ago.

They did everything right. But after one at-home haircut, a husband and wife died of Covid-19
Mike and Carol Bruno did everything right to avoid Covid-19. They refrained from hosting the big, traditional family gatherings they were used to. They stuck to phone calls and video conferences with family even though they didn't live far away.
But a simple family visit to get a haircut claimed both of their lives.
The Brunos were married nearly six decades before they passed away from the virus, their son Joseph Bruno told CNN. The Chicago couple, who died 10 days apart, are now among the more than 337,000 people who have died from coronavirus in the US.
Bruno hopes his family's grief serves as an important reminder of how easy it can be to contract Covid-19, no matter how safe you are.

Here’s why COVID-19 has a vaccine after 1 year and HIV doesn’t after nearly 40 years
The rapid development of several COVID-19 vaccines has compelled numerous web commenters to accusingly ask why the same hasn’t been done for HIV, a pandemic that has lasted nearly 40 years longer than the coronavirus.
However, a closer look at the different virology of coronavirus and HIV helps explain why the former has a soon-to-be widely available vaccine and the latter doesn’t.
The aforementioned critics often claim that the lack of an HIV vaccine is due to the fact that HIV has most affected men and trans women who have sex with men, Black people, people of color, and intravenous drug users — marginalized people who tend to have less money and political power. Thus, the lack of an HIV vaccine can seem like a conspiratorial way to let these communities die off.

Parents want to get a gay elementary school principal fired, saying he will molest children
“Protect our children,” one picket sign read. “Do not wait until there are victims.”
The unnamed principal’s relationship with his partner was reportedly outed via Facebook on April 2020.
One protestor claimed the principal admitted to having sex with his partner in front of parents, that the principal called it a “mistake” and offered to resign in July, but hasn’t done so. The protestor also claimed that 300 parents signed a petition demanding the principal be dismissed; some are reportedly worried the principal will install secret cameras in the children’s bathrooms.
The “evidence” against the teachers included suggestions that they “used magical powers to seduce the children and render the crime scenes invisible,” reports The New York Times.
