This is What Happens to Gays in Malaysia

I see that while I was away the filthy Con government deported another gay refugee.

Even though he could be imprisoned or savagely caned for being openly gay.

And now the police in Malaysia are looking for Kulenthiran.

Malaysian police say they want to question A. Kulenthiran, a Malaysian gay man who was deported after his appeals to stay in Canada was denied by Immigration Minister Diane Finley.

And this is what could happen to him.

( WARNING: VIOLENT AND BLOODY VIDEO)



Kulenthiran should never have been deported to a place where something so awful could happen to him.


The SoCon Minister of Immigration Diane Finley had a chance to intervene. But she refused to lift a finger to help.

Just like she didn't lift a finger to help Alvaro Orozco. Even though he could be killed in Nicaragua.

And all to please the rabid Con base and the religious extremists in the Harper government like the porker homophobe Charles McVety.

Malaysia and the Cons. Where moral barbarity meets moral depravity.

If anything happen to Kulenthiran or Alvaro our homophobic immigration officials and the wretched evil Con government will have blood on their hands.

And we WILL remember.

Once Canada was a beacon of human rights.

Harper and his Cons have turned it into a toilet.

The sooner we flush them the better....

Nicaragua Dumps its Anti-Gay Law

When I heard that Nicaragua had scrapped its anti-gay law at first I was surprised.

Consensual gay sex will no longer be a criminal offence in Nicaragua under a new civil code due to come into effect on March 2008.

Under old legislation passed in 1992, "anyone who induces, promotes, propagandises or practices sexual intercourse between persons of the same sex commits the crime of sodomy and shall incur one to three years' imprisonment."


And then I thought of Alvaro.












So I e-mailed him to find out how he's doing and get his reaction.

He was happy but he did point out why the NIcaraguan government did what it did. Not because it was the right thing to do. But because of the almighty buck.

The reality is the government of Nicaragua doesn't want tourists to stay away so the only way for them to improve their image in the world is to abolish the anti-gay law.

And that because of the power of the Catholic Church it will take a long time for homophobic attitudes to change.

It will take many many years for people in Nicaragua to accept gay people. The homophobia will still be there. And now it could be even more dangerous as gay people now have the right to speak.

Alvaro is also proud that along with Amnesty International and other human rights groups around the world his case helped make the change happen. Although it won't happen until next March.

And his personal situation remains bleak.

The last eight months have been hard....depression, stress, and other bad symptoms. Thanks to my family doctor , my councillor, and some spiritual orientation I am doing better. But it still is a big challenge to confront this sad reality.

The hope for now is that the Minister of Immigration will respond to the online petition and stop the deportation....the last chance is the appeal in Federal Court that my new lawyer Mr. Lorne Waldman is doing...I just hope that my supporters don't give up to continue helping me.

I hope they won't either.... so our hideous Immigration Department won't deport Alvaro back to a country where his case is well known. And his enemies could be waiting.

So if you haven't done it already please use the link in Alvaro's website to petition the Minister.

Nicaragua may be joining the 21st Century. Time marches on.

But Alvaro still needs us...
