CURIOUS GEORGE KILLERS SENTENCED TO LIFE

This is some crazy crazy stuff. I didn't know this happened but in 2006 the author of Curious George Alan Shalleck was murdered by two gay men, Vincent Puglisi and Rex Ditto after meeting them on a gay sex website. Read below for some creepy details:

An autopsy found that the 76 year old had been stabbed to death. There were more than 30 stab wound to the body and he had been struck more than 80 times with a blunt instrument.

The trailer home had been ransacked and jewelry and credit cars were missing. It was also discovered that money had been taken from Shalleck's savings account.

Tracing his final hours police determined he met his killers through a gay sex listing service. Using Shalleck's phone records investigators were led to Ditto and Puglisi.

The sentences were as follows:

Vincent Puglisi this week was sentenced to life in prison.

Puglisi was found guilty in June of first-degree murder and robbery with a deadly weapon.

His co-defendant, Rex Ditto, already is serving a life sentence after pleading guilty last year to first-degree murder and robbery with a weapon. [SOURCE]

How nuts is that?? Wow.. People be careful when you meet people online, you just never know who you will meet.

MORE ANDREW (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) GOSSIP

Alright folks some more gossip on what's going to happen with Shawn Pyfrom's character Andrew Van De Kamp on Desperate Housewives this upcoming season. I can't wait. He needs to have more of a juicy storyline like the first and second season. He was hot in those two. OUCH.. When talking about Bree and Andrew, Creater Marc Cherry spilled some juicy details about next season:

"-- Bree (Marcia Cross) will get out of the house more but she'll still be surrounded by muffins as a Martha Stewart-like entrepreneur. Her son Andrew (Shawn Pyfrom) works as her assistant and he may get a relationship in the second half of the season. Cherry said making Andrew a gay character was an opportunity to steal a scene from his own life in the first season. "The only ugly moment with my mother is when I came out and she was concerned that she wouldn't see me in heaven," Cherry said. He said he made Andrew act out against Bree when she said that as a way to exorcise his own anger and hurt feelings." [SOURCE]

Who's Excited?? I am!!

DUTCH SUB "BIRTH NAME" INSTEAD OF "MAIDEN NAME"

The Dutch are the coolest. They are so advanced with equality than most nations I find. They wanted to take equality to the next step. The have substituted using Maiden name to Birth name to not offend gays who take their spouses last name.

The Dutch civil service has developed a new name for "maiden name" so married gay men won't feel awkward.

"Geboortenaam" translates to "birth name". It will replace maiden name on official forms, radio Netherlands reported on Wednesday.

Despite its liberal reputation, Amsterdam and the rest of the Netherlands have been facing a rise in homophobic attacks over the last few years.

The government has committed to millions of Euros to fighting homophobia in the country.
A recent European poll found the Dutch to be the strongest supporters of same-sex marriage in the EU, with 82% in favour.

The Dutch Language Union hopes it will save married gay men from any embarrassment when taking their spouses surname. [SOURCE]

For me personally, it doesn't make a difference but I do think its nice that they are taking into consideration everyone. KUDOS to the Dutch.

BRADY QUINN FIGHTING BACK AGAINST GAY DATING SITE

So it looks like Brady is fighting back against the gay dating website using his picture as promotion. True, its not really fair to false advertise.. I mean I bet a lot of people went online to see if they could pick up that dude (Quinn) in the Ad. I know if I was single I would have..

NFL baller Brady Quinn wants to make one thing clear: He'll huddle up with sweaty, muscular men -- he just won't date 'em. No matter what a gay dating website is leading people to believe.

A topless -- and really, really hot -- photo of the Cleveland Browns quarterback has been used to promote a dating website for months. The only problem -- nobody cleared it with Brady!

A rep for the Cleveland Browns tells us Brady had no knowledge of the ad saying, "He was not involved in posting photos." Brady's lawyer has already taken action and has sent a cease and desist letter to the website today, demanding all photos of him be removed ASAP. [SOURCE]

Man, that pic above is pretty hot though eh? GEESH

BECKHAM LOOKIN HOT AT ESPY AWARDS

Becks and Vicki arrive on the red carpet looking hot. I even love what Posh is wearing.. Nice Glasses and all.. But just look how Hot Becks is in his Suit.. SWEET!!

During the evening, David presented WNBA player Candace Parker with the 'Best Female Athlete' award. He looked shy on stage but still pulled it off says witnesses.

And finally, Becks won 'Best MLS Player' at the ESPY Awards last night. Aww.. I Love Him.. Did anyone see Christiano Ronaldo?? He was on crutches and all... He kinda looked awkward.. Which is a shame because he comes in close second to Becks in the Hot category!!

GAY MARRIAGE EXCLUDED IN U.S. 2010 CENSUS

Sparks are flying in the States right now because in the 2010 census gay marriage will not be included. I guess since it's only two states that have allowed it, loses to the majority. Sad.. Man, the U.S. needs some lessons on Equality.. GEESH..

The Census Bureau says the federal Defense of Marriage Act bars the agency from recognizing gay marriages in the nation's 10-year count, even though the marriages are legal in Massachusetts and California.

The agency's director, Steven Murdock, said in an interview Thursday that the 1996 federal law "has that effect, in terms of being a federal agency. We are restricted by it."

The Census Bureau does not ask people about their sexual orientation, but it does ask about their relationships to the head of the household. Many gay couples are listed in census figures as unmarried, same-sex partners, though it is an imperfect tally of all gay couples. [SOURCE]

What do you guys think about this? I feel like we have a long long road ahead of us before we are seen as equals but meh.. its just my sexuality.. does not make me, ME...

HEPATITIS C ON THE RISE WITH GAYS

Sorry guys.. Some bad news:

..."Hepatitis C is an increasing problem for gay men.

"It can be the most damaging type of Hepatitis and even though it can have no symptoms for many years, in the longer term it can also cause cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer and death.
"Until recently Hepatitis C was thought only to be transmitted through blood, and rarely through sex.

"However, many more gay men have been diagnosed with the disease recently and it is now thought that unprotected anal sex and fisting also transmit the virus." [SOURCE]

Man, the diseases just keep on rolling out and getting worse and worse. The only thing i can say guys is make sure your protected. You don't want to end up being sick.. Life is too short as it is..

"I have done three girl-on-girl kisses on-screen," says Selma Blair of her work in "Cruel Intentions", "Feast of Love" and the upcoming "Driving Lessons." "And, yet, I've never done any [lesbian experimentation] in my real life. When lesbian friends tell me they're in love with me after our friendship has been cemented, it always shocks me," the actress reveals in the August issue of Playboy, on stands Friday. [SOURCE]

Well at least the ladies have the three kisses by her in movies.. Us Gays only have one gay kiss done by Jake Gyllenhaul.. BAH!!

WICKED, MAKING IT TO THE BIG SCREEN - SWEET!!

I was over on PinkIsTheNewBlog website and stumbled across some fascinating and Wicked news.

Wicked, The Musical is being made into a Full Length Movie. SWEET... I am almost at the end of the actual book written by Gregory Maguire and i am sooo drawn into the story its nuts. It takes a lot for me to read but this book gets you right in there. You really feel for the Wicked Witch of the West.. She ain't bad folks.. She ain't bad!!

Marc Platt has extended his contract with Universal Pictures for five years, according to Variety. Marc Platt Productions currently has several projects of interest to theatre plans in the works, including a film version of the international hit Wicked, a remake of the 1973 Andrew Lloyd Webber-Tim Rice film “Jesus Christ Superstar” and a new motion picture about the life of the late composer George Gershwin. Universal Pictures production president Donna Langley told the industry paper, “Our goal now is absolutely to make the Wicked film, but much like Judy Craymer wouldn’t give up screen rights to Mamma Mia! until the stage show had reached its pinnacle, Marc and Stephen Schwartz are very mindful of the right timing. But we’re dying to do it.” Platt told Variety that he and Wicked co-producer David Stone are currently in “early movie talks” with the studio. Winnie Holzman, who penned the Tony-nominated book for Wicked, will write the film’s screenplay. No casting has been mentioned. [Source]

So Excited. The thing is though, I haven't seen the musical.. Is that Weird? Oh Well. I have heard great things about it and with a great story behind it.. I am soo there..

U.K. INCREASES MINORITY REPRESENTATION BUT EXCLUDES GAYS

In the U.K, the government wants to increase the representation of women, ethnic minorities and disabled people to the boards of public bodies. However, when looked closely at this new plan, sexual orientation was not included.

Uh Oh... Definately going to have some upset Gays in the house:

Harriet Harman, Secretary of State for Equality, said:
"Our ultimate aim is to have fair representation of women, black and Asian, and disabled people at every level of our democracy, including in public bodies.

"I'm going to keep a sharp eye on appointments made by each government department."

In response to the Harman's words Derek Munn, head of public affairs for gay equality organisation Stonewall, said:

"Given the government's aim of extend equal protect to sexual orientation, Stonewall expects this to apply in every area of the government's work and public appointments are no different." [SOURCE]

FIGHT.. FIGHT... FIGHT.. Just jokin.. but still I wonder why gays were left out??

TIME TO REPEAL US BAN ON HIV TRAVELLERS?

Here is something i didn't know. Did you know in the States that one who has HIV and wants to immigrate or have a short travel trip to the country is not allowed to? They are barred from the country due to current US immigration law. Crazy stuff..

Well it seem that a former candidate for President of the United States has said he hopes he will be able to remove a ban on people who are HIV positive travelling to the country. DUN DUN DUN...

Speaking to the HIV/AIDS Task Force of the Centre for Strategic & International Studies in Washington DC yesterday, Senator John Kerry said there is "no excuse for a law that stigmatises a particular disease."

Alongside his Republican colleague Gordon Smith, Senator Kerry has attached an amendment to a bill authorising $50 billon for PEPFAR, the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. [SOURCE]

UNCLE BOBBY'S WEDDING MAY NOT TAKE PLACE :(

Poor Uncle Bobby.. He may not get his wedding in some school's by the looks of things. I guess some bible thumpers are not finding this book child friendly:

The children’s book about a young guinea pig named Chloe and her uncle who marries his boyfriend, has received its first challenge.

A patron at Douglas County Libraries in Colorado asked that the book either be removed from the shelves, placed in a special area, or labeled “some material may be inappropriate for young children.” [SOURCE]

H AH AHA.. I wonder why they think its inappropriate.. What about the Bible where it talks about killing babies and sacrficing brothers... HMMMM

"54" RESTORED - GAYER THAN EVER - HOT!!

Ok so this will be the last blog of the day.. and this one is HOT...

Everyone must remember the movie "54" starring the Hot Ryan Phillippe and Brekin Meyer, which was about the club 54 back in the day. All about sex, drugs and rock and roll!!

Well it seems that there was a lot cut out of the original film. In Los Angeles filmgoers and gay bloggers are going BALLISTIC at this year's Outfest because of the "secret screening" of the director's cut of the 1998 film 54.

According to Greg Hernandez of Out In Hollywood, that footage makes all the difference:

"So how different is the director's cut? VERY. And it's MUCH better and much more gay! Phillippe's character is bisexual in this superior version and shares screen kisses with several men, including Breckin Meyer...Christopher's original version is such a better film because it chronicles the club's fall along with Phillippe's personal journey." [SOURCE]

The director's cut was screened at Outfest, and writer/director Mark Christopher has restored 45 minutes of footage that the studio originally forced him to cut out. How Hot is that??

Alright I am out. Later Everyone!

H&R BLOCK GIVING MONEY TO THE GAYS

Too Good To Be True? According to H&R Block, they have agreed to give $100 coupons or free TaxCut software to all gay couples who incurred additional costs because they were barred from using the company's online tax service, TaxCut Online. SWEET!!

The coupons can be applied towards the costs of future tax preparation expenses with the company for the 2008 tax season. The company has also agreed to direct future tax filers with civil unions to a free online support specialist to help couples complete their taxes.

"We're pleased that H&R Block has decided to do right by gay couples throughout the country," said Rebecca Shore, a staff attorney with the ACLU Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Project. "Saying you've been civilly united will never be the same as saying you're married, but at least gay couples will no longer face the prospect of paying more to prepare their taxes."

The ACLU sent a demand letter to H&R Block on March 25, 2008, demanding that it stop penalizing gay couples with civil unions who were barred from filing their taxes through the company's online tax preparation service. [SOURCE]

I am sure this is just for the United States only but if it is for Canada too.. Woot Woot!

46 YR OLD MAN KIDNAPPED, CHAINED & ASSAULTED 21 YR OLD GUY

OH MY GOODNESS.. I have a crazy story here.

This poor 21 yr old was abducted by a 46 yr old man in Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin and was chained naked with another young man (23 yrs old). The two young men were beaten and sexually assaulted inside behind closed doors:

"I'm just thankful to be alive and glad to be back home with my family and friends," the man told the Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune.

Edward Lanphear, 46, was charged with 12 felonies in the abduction, beating and sexual assault of two young men who police say were chained naked inside his home. He is jailed in lieu of $1 million bond.

The 21-year-old was able to escape from Lanphear's garage in rural Wisconsin Rapids last Tuesday and ran to a nearby home to seek help. Lanphear realized police were on the scene and brought the 23-year-old man from the basement, investigators said.

...According to a criminal complaint, Lanphear picked up the 23-year-old, weary from a night of drinking, as the Wisconsin Rapids man sat at a curb July 4. Lanphear then hit the man over the head and abducted him. He kidnapped the 21-year-old early Tuesday morning after the man got drunk at a local bar and passed out in his truck, the complaint said.

Court records show the Wood County sheriff's department confiscated more than 20 guns, chains, prescription medications, a computer and pornography from Lanphear's home. [SOURCE]

Wow.. People are just nuts. What a perv! I hope he gets what he deserves. My condolences to both families involved.

VICTORIA'S DVB MEN'S LINE IS ACTUALLY BEING SHIPPED OUT

So My Post Was Wrong.. Victoria's Men's Collection Modelled after Becks will still hit stores in time for the Holidays:

It was reported the launch of Victoria Beckham's dVb menswear line had been pushed back since retailers weren't interested in stocking it.

Kitson in LA, it was reported, was supposed to launch the line this fall but would push it back until next year. But today a rep from Kitson told us the report was inaccurate and the dVb men's collection is in fact on target to launch in stores for holiday 2008 as scheduled. [SOURCE]

SWEET!!

WHERE'S NIGEL'S LUV 4 THE GAYS ON "IDOL" & "DANCE"

On AfterElton.com they sat down with the Judge/Producer about gays representing on the two shows. I am a huge fan of both, more of So You Think You Can Dance, and could see how some would think that Nigel may have some Ill Feelings towards the gay community. He does provide lots of witty comments and Idol does have a lack of "out" contestants, which can have Nigel perceived has anti-gay.

It has been rumoured that American Idol has told some gay contestants in the past to keep their sexuality under wraps to help them get further in the competition. Again this is just a rumour but it has been going on for several years. Take a look at some excerpts taken from the interview with the Brit:

AfterElton.com: What’s your response to the criticism that neither American Idol nor Step it Up and Dance has ever included any out gay contestants?
Nigel Lythgoe: You mean homosexual guys who have come out? We’ve never thought about it, to be honest. I don’t actually go around and say, "Excuse me are you gay or are you straight?" It isn’t a question that we ask.

AE: But it would come up.
NL: No it wouldn’t. I’m never worried if anybody’s gay. What I don’t like on the dance show, to be frank, is effeminate boys that mince around the stage. I don’t care if they’re gay or straight. That’s got nothing to do with it for me.

AE: Why don’t you like the effeminate [dancers]?
NL: Because they need to be very strong. Dancing is role-playing most of the time. And you need to be strong and lift girls. You need to look stronger than the girl you’re dancing with. You control the dance, especially in ballroom. So if you mince about the stage, you’re not doing what the choreographer is asking you to do. He’s asking you to be strong. If your choreographer then wants to do an effeminate routine, then that’s fine, but most of the time we don’t do effeminate routines so straight or gay doesn’t come into it for me. [SOURCE]

I dunno, I like the dude and he is right about effeminate dancers. I mean its cool to be gay but you got to show some masculinity when you dance. It's always been like that. Some gays have represented on that show and they pulled off the best masculine dances ever. One name in mind is Travis Wall. One word: Hot!!

GAY GODFATHERS SCARED TO COME OUT TO MAFIA

This is an interesting story:

Antonio Ingroia, who has helped bring several bosses to justice, said: "Being gay is still a taboo for Italian society in general, let alone the Mafia, which is an archaic organisation.

"These bosses have to cover their homosexuality; they're afraid because they risk being ridiculed and killed."

It also seems that in America, the mafia is more lenient towards the gays.. Who Would Have Guessed:

Mr Ingroia said that the American Mafia had "a more broad-minded attitude towards gays and so gay bosses can come out." [SOURCE]

Ha ha ha.. I am sorry I had to laugh cause this story is random. However, it's good to see that in America who can be in the mafia and be gay and have less "Kisses of Deaths" on your cheek. To read the full story Click Here.

BLIND ITEM - SWEET!!

Who doesn't love a little Blind Item. This one comes from NYDailyNews.com:

Which cocaine-loving actress is said to be relying on her closeted husband to meet guys? A source says that when they were at a party recently, the hubby asked a fellow guest, "Do you want to bleep my wife? Because you can.”

Hmmm.. I am trying to think of who.. John Trovolta?? But i don't see his wife Kelly being a coke addict.. Damn.. Its a Toughy

MY SHANIA IS SINGING THE BLUES

Aww.. Now this is my girl. I love Shania like no other.. My friends would totally agree with this. I guess everyone has heard what happened to her and her disgusting husband who cheated on her. Seems like Shania is now pouring her heartache onto paper and the songs are just rolling out..

Two months after her split from producer-songwriter husband, Robert "Mutt" Lange, Shania Twain has found strength in the two things that mean the most to her – her 6-year-old son, Eja D'Angelo, and her music. "

She's spending as much time with Eja as possible and hasn't put down her guitar since the split," a source close to singer tells PEOPLE. "The songs are pouring out of her."

No doubt some of them – like many great country songs – are inspired by heartache. Twain, 42, announced her separation from Lange, 59, in May, after she found out about his alleged affair with one of her best friends.

Twain is also keeping busy shopping and traveling. The now-single singer was recently spotted buying lingerie at a Holt Renfrew store in her native Canada. She's also been to the Caribbean, where she has a villa, and to Switzerland, where she and Lange once lived together. [SOURCE]

She was just recently seen in Toronto and I missed it. She came thru Pearson Airport with big sunglasses and a smile on June 13th. I am so happy that she is keeping her spirits up. She definately Rocks My Socks..

BECKHAM STYLE DVB JEANS HAVE BEEN RESHELVED!

Aww poor news for Victoria and Becks. Seems due to poor sales of her regular fashion line, Victoria was told that her male-line of her DVD jeans will be pushed back till 2009.

Victoria Beckham suffered another setback today as plans to launch a men’s line of her jeans collection were put on hold after retailers were unwilling to stock it.

The former Spice Girl was set to launch the new dVb line at Kitson boutique in Los Angeles but it has now been pushed back until next year.

The delay comes just months after the denim range was relegated to the bargain basement bins of several US boutiques while many announced they would no longer carry it because of poor sales. [SOURCE]

In an interview before she did say that the jeans were modeled after her husband David. She loves baggy jeans on guys because it allows one to have more imagination of what's under the clothes. Hell ya.. So true.. I love what Becks is wearing in the above pic. SWEET!!

CREATOR OF HOT MORMON CALENDAR EXCOMMUNICATED

Mormon "Men on a Mission" calendar has been one of the popular calendar in the last year, which features Mormon men in tasteful, often shirtless pictures. It seems the Mormon community is not a fan of the calendar and has decided to excommunicate Chad Hardy, the creator.

Chad Hardy said he bears no ill will toward the council of elders from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

"I felt like I spoke my truth," the 31-year-old entertainment entrepreneur said. "Bottom-line, they still felt the calendar is inappropriate and not the image that the church wants to have."

"Men on a Mission," which has sold nearly 10,000 copies at $14.99 each, included pictures of 12 returned missionaries wearing black slacks, but not their trademark white shirts, in modest poses. The men also were photographed in traditional missionary garb and share their religious beliefs in biographical sketches.

...Hardy said the purpose of the 2008 calendar was not to tear down the church or its 13 million members. [SOURCE]

As I read this, I wasn't sure what excommunicated meant. According to the article an excommunicated person is removed from official church rolls, but are still welcome at church services. Excommunicated members are prohibited from receiving the sacrament and can't perform church callings such as teaching or preaching during meetings. They also cannot enter church temples.

Crazy Stuff Folks.. The Calendar is hot though.. I Had to check it out.. SWEET!

MCCAIN STILL AGAINST GAY ADOPTION

During a recent interview Presidential Candidate John McCain was asked several questions in regards to gay issues on his many political outings. Lets take a look at his stance, which we already know is not in favour of us!

Mr. McCain, who with his wife, Cindy, has an adopted daughter, said flatly that he opposed allowing gay couples to adopt. “I think that we’ve proven that both parents are important in the success of a family so, no, I don’t believe in gay adoption,” he said.

and then he continued to talk about same sex marriage:

Many social conservatives strenuously oppose California’s decision to allow same-sex marriage. But Mr. McCain, who also opposes same-sex marriage, has always said that the issue is up to the states, and in the interview he said he would stick to that position as president even if California chose to continue allowing gay marriage after putting the matter to a statewide vote in November. “I respect the right of the states to make those decisions,” he said. [SOURCE]

Wow.. I hope Obama gets in. I shouldn't get into politics but honestly, religion and politics don't mix, so why do Republicans always mix the two?? Anyways.. I will leave it at that. OBAMA for PREZ!!!!

KATY PERRY UPSETTING THE BIBLE THUMPERS IN THE US

Oh Gotta love the Bible Thumpers.. This comes in light of Katy's success with the song "I Kissed a Girl". Seems that Christians believe that Katy has replaced Jesus in her heart with same-sex experimentation.

...Although the lyrics to the songs in question are not nearly as lurid as one might infer from the song titles, Perry’s tendency to use homosexuality as a promotional tool for her music has at least one Christian group concerned about the fate of her immortal soul.

Regardless of whether Perry has actually Kissed a Girl (which she says she has not), apparently James Dobson’s Focus on the Family feel the songs have put her in league with the dark minions of Hell.

But although Perry is currently "living down to a damaging, demeaning… ‘girls gone wild’" stereotype, the Focus on Family writer hopes that perhaps the "good" Katy will "come to her senses," get back on the Christian bandwagon and "recall the wisdom of her youth." [SOURCE]

SCANDULOUS.. Muhahahaha.. Oh My.. It's just a song.. However, i wonder how much of an upset it would be if it was a male singing a song about kissing another male?? I bet that song wouldn't be aired at all. Bloody Discrimination.. Bah!!

ABC MOST GAY FRIENDLY SAYS GLAAD

SWEET.. ABC is one of my favourite stations. It includes several of my favourite shows such as Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters and Greek. It looks like the station is ahead of the gang.. Check out the results:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC and cable channel FX have been ranked the most gay-friendly networks by a gay-rights group.

At the other end of the scale, NBC, Fox, A&E, Spike, TBS, USA Network and TNT all received fail grades from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD).

...The report said 24% of ABC's programming hours was considered inclusive. The report praised "Brothers & Sisters" in particular for portraying the first gay marriage on television...The CW, driven by "America's Next Top Model," was a close second (21%).

CBS was rated "adequate" (9%), while NBC (6%) and Fox (4%) were both labeled "failing," with their scores decreasing slightly this year. The report added that the quality of gay characters on NBC increased across several shows, but its score dropped overall because of the departure of Laura Innes' lesbian character, Kerry Weaver, from "ER." [SOURCE]

I love this stuff.. Cause we get to see how gays are represented across the board. Interesting.. For more on the story Click Here.

ITALIAN MAN FORCED TO TAKE DRIVERS TEST AGAIN CAUSE HE WAS GAY!

Hi Everyone, First off.. I am super sorry I didn't post Sunday. I was under the weather and just couldn't get to the keyboards to start typing.. But don't you worry.. I am back for the brand new week.. Woot Woot.

This story comes to you from Italy. A poor 26 yr old guy was forced to retake his drivers test because his sexuality was disclosed to the transport ministry.. Oh you must read on:

When 26 year-old Danilo Giuffrida told doctors he was gay at his medical examination for military service, they passed the information to the transport ministry, who told him he must repeat his driving test or have his license withdrawn due to his "sexual identity disturbance."

Giuffrida agreed to re-take his test, passed it for a second time, but the ministry renewed his license for just one year rather than the usual 10 years because of his homosexuality.

Guuffrida took this matter to court (THANK GOD) and won. The court ruled in his favour granting him monetary compensation for damages that were caused:

The judge ruling on the case in Catania, on the southern island of Sicily, said the actions of the defense and transport ministries showed "evident sexual discrimination" against Giuffrida and ran counter to his constitutional rights.

The behavior of the ministries led Giuffrida to have "a grave sense of mistrust towards the state," added the judge, who ordered them to pay him 100,000 euros of damages in his verdict issued on Saturday. [SOURCE]

Wow... I am glad the court agreed to this one. I would have been livid.. I would have made such a stink.. But then again if I was in Italy I'm not too sure i would. Crazy Stuff folks..
