I find it funny, that someone would
find the need to watch gays/lesbians/bisexuals,
and not straight people.
Do like watching it or something?
Seems a little odd to me. Most say that the more scared of homosexuality, the more you are either ashamed of your own, or you are not sure of your own. If you don’t like it, or dont approve, then why watch?

you would think if governments spied on the catholic church in the past 80 years as much as they have on lgbt groups,they would have found out about the priest sex scandal decades ago. shame on all.

My last comment was directed at the Italian censorship story.

Sorry.

Italy has as long as I can remember been the least democratic and law abiding EU State. Basically they do what they like. Their president has changed the law so he can’t face criminal prosecution!!

I’m sure there is an EU directive against this sort of thing and we’ll probably get to hear about it soon (though don’t hold your breath for the toothless tiger).

I used to work for a UK shipping company and we always had to add “import taxes” to Italian shipments despite there being no duties payable with moving goods or people throughout the EU.

That country makes the Sopranos look like Sponge Bob.

“During his visit to France Benedict will meet with Jewish and Islamic leaders.” — and given how open and ‘loving’ the fundies of these two other religions are, I’m sure de Furher….I mean Pope, will feel right at home.

As for France spying on gay groups, well, sadly some of the groups have threatened violence and thus the close quarter observances. Truth be told, let them spy, let them see the truth and let the Pope witness how his fear, his denial of human truth, his folly leads to this kind of gestapo tactic…..then again, given his upbringing as a child….
