WARNING: Men Having Sex Ahead


A park near Amsterdam has unveiled information signs pointing out spots where officials say gay men are known to have sex - so other visitors are not taken by surprise.

The signs "clearly indicate what is happening in each zone; also those where gay men are known to practice 'cruising'," municipal spokeswoman Manon Koffijberg said.

Cruising is a slang word used to describe the act of trawling for casual sex.

Ottawa is one of Canada’s Most Livable Cities


Canada’s largest cities often top international “best of” lists. Vancouver was called the most livable city in the world by the Economist magazine, while Toronto was ranked the world’s 15th best place to live by AskMen.com, and Montreal’s “City Brand” was Ranked 13th.

But Canada’s smaller cities should not be overlooked, according to new livability rankings from the Martin Prosperity Institute. Ottawa, Guelph, and Victoria compete with bigger cities in terms of livability, and have joined larger centers among the country’s most livable places.

Put on a happy face!

The Irony of Satire

The National Organization for Marriage, a right-wing Christian fear-based org. in the U.S., recently put out a bizarre issue-ad.

The ad contended that heterosexuals should feel threatened by a coming scourge of gay-wedding tornadoes.

Stephen Colbert subsequently produced a commercial parody depicting the NOM membership as closeted nitwits.

NOM sent Stephen a letter of thanks, apparently for somehow helping their cause. See if it makes sense to you ...

Ontario passes law to ban hand-held devices while driving

A new law that bans using hand-held devices to talk, email, or send text messages while behind the wheel has been passed by the Ontario legislature.

The new rules, which don't come into effect immediately, include a fine of up to $500 as the province joins other jurisdictions in cracking down on drivers using the devices.

The law doesn't affect the use of hands-free devices such as Bluetooths or using cellphones for 911 calls, but it does include portable video games, MP3 players and DVD players.

Global positioning systems will be allowed, as long as they're properly secured to the dashboard.

There are no demerit points attached to the bill, unlike in other provinces. But drivers who place others at risk by using one of the banned devices can also be charged under existing careless driving laws.

Ontario is the fourth province to enact such a ban, following Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Nova Scotia.
