Pat Robertson: Gays use rings to spread AIDS

Source: WPXI.com

Televangelist Pat Robertson has made some curious comments about gays, AIDS and jewelry.
While the comments were made yesterday (Tuesday), they were quickly removed from the Christian Broadcast Network's website.

Robertson:
You know what they do in San Francisco, some in the gay community there they want to get people so if they got [AIDS] they’ll have a ring, you shake hands, and the ring’s got a little thing where you cut your finger. Really. It’s that kind of vicious stuff, which would be the equivalent of murder.

You can't make this shit up.
Pat -- the gift of idiocy that keeps on giving.
At least CBN removed it quickly, but maybe they should think about removing HIM. An embarrassment to Christians everywhere.

IAAF makes "gay rights" jumper repaint "rainbow" nails

Source: France24

AFP - Swedish high jumper Emma Green-Tregaro has repainted her nails after being warned by the IAAF that the rainbow colours she sported in qualification in support of gay rights were a breach of regulations.

Russian pole vault gold medallist Yelena Isinbayeva has provoked a furore at the World Athletics Championships over her outspoken anti-gay remarks, which she later tried to play down saying she was "misunderstood" and opposed to discrimination against homosexuals.

And she had called Green-Tregaro "unrespectful" to Russia after painting her nails in the colours of the rainbow flag that symbolises support for gay rights while competing in Moscow, a move that garnered acclaim elsewhere in the world.

*Great example on how to create a controversy out of nothing more than painted nails. Nice move, IAAF. Love those Swedish women too!
