Homosexuality is illegal in they African nation of Cameroon. Recently the government and tabloid newspapers there have been going nuts outing anyone and everyone. 2 men were sentenced to a year in prison after admitting they engaged in gay sex. The men are believed to pleaded guilty to avoid a medical examination to determine if they had anal intercourse, a requirement in sodomy cases as imposed by the courts.
The medical examination sounds a bit like the witch hunt crap that went on 100s of years ago. If you claim innocence they you must undergo the humiliation of a dubious “examination”. If you say your guilty you’ll get a quick and painless sentence. It’s a vicious circle you cant win either way.
Some 3rd world countries have really harsh anti-homosexual laws. Are they left over from the missionaries or is it to combat the sex tourist who have big money and like young boys/girls? A friend told me that a lot of anti-gay stuff in Jamaica is anger left over from the sex tourism trade.
Which ever way you look at it its fucked. I hate homophobia, no matter what excuse is used it wrong. Look at the cause of the hate and deal with that and people will be a lot more relaxed about it than some people think.

When working in a porno shop or any retail job you get bored when there’s no customers sometimes, and there’s only so much dusting & reorganizing you can do without going nuts, so id read the free gay newspapers. Most are okay and a better read than shite like MX (melbs free tabloid), there’s a lot of yuppie shit in the gay papers like what the gayest car to buy, or how to buy a house that reflects your personality, wanky boring moneycentric shit. But there is great articles ignored by hetro media like rampant homophobia in some 3rd world countries, or what’s the latest fucked up quote from the local rabid anti gay religious leader.
The funniest section is the contact ads. The guys ones are full of a good mix of ordinary stuff and pervy funny stuff, stuff like “50 year old leather daddy into tennis and fisting looking for piss drinking footy player for bushwalking and beatings” or similar. The women’s ones are a bit more subdued, usually stuff like “40 year old vegan with cats looking for 40-60 year old vegetarian earth mother for long walks and swimming in lakes at sunset”. A friend got back San Francisco and gave us a gay newspaper from there. The ads were nuts, we spent ages going through them laughing ourselves silly at the stuff in it. Gay dudes into cheesy sweaty uncut dicks or bi girls into lesbian gangbangs. The scene her is either very vanilla or the kinky ones are satisfied with their sex lives and don’t feel the need to advertise.
I was thinking there could be a drinking game you could do with personal ads, so I’m gunna work it out and post it later on.
