.
...That's right, a poll by the British newspaper The Observer had 24% of respondents saying they wanted gay sex made illegal.

.
Britain is a country where gay civil unions are legal and gay sex has been fully decriminalised for decades, yet 1 in 4 people somehow think a man loving a man should be a criminal offence, punishable by law.
.
One could understand how a large proportion of the population may be against gay unions or may be somewhat homophobic, but that 1 in 4 people want to bar others from living their life is disappointing! ...

It has been reported by American law enforcement authorities that there was an increase in hate crimes against gay people in 2007, despite a drop in the overall hate crime rate. The FBI revealed there were 7,600 hate crime incidents this year, and there was a 6% increase in anti-gay hate crimes.
The report is statistical, so reasons for the spike in anti-gay incidents were not given.
Most of the reported hate crimes tended to be anti-black, anti-Jewish and anti-gay in nature.

Apple Apoia Gays na Califórnia
Há uma semana para o referendo sobre a 'Proposta 8', que pretende proibir o casamento gay na Califórnia, a Apple anunciou em seu site oficial apoio ao casamento gay e fez a doação de US$ 100 mil ao grupo "No on 8"."A Apple foi uma das primeiras empresas da Califórnia a oferecer direitos iguais e benefícios aos parceiros de mesmo sexo de nossos funcionários, e acreditamos que os direitos fundamentais de uma pessoa - incluindo o direito de se casar - não devem ser afetados pela orientação sexual", diz a nota.
Juntando-se ao Google e outras multinacionais como a Pepsi, que já tinham declarado apoio ao casamento gay.
Também ontem, Maria Shriver, esposa do governador Arnold Schwarzenegger defendeu a união civil. “Eu acredito no direito das pessoas de escolher um parceiro que amem. Essa foi a decisão que eu fiz, por muito tempo”, disse a primeira-dama, que também é sobrinha do ex-presidente John F. Kennedy.
