Some Scary Statistics

While things aren't bad enough in this country: from Bristol Palin's inane toddler calling his Auntie a faggot (out of the mouth of babes), to a Nebraska woman being bound in her own home by 3 men who carved anti-gay slurs into her skin, you may be wondering, "What is this world coming to?"

I'm here to tell ya! And, believe me, it ain't pretty.

In China, according to Jezebel, 9 out of 10 gay men are marrying suffering wives because it's the norm.

In Russia, it's not wise to be an activist. According to the Huffington Post:  

Although homosexuality was decriminalized after the fall of the Soviet Union, disdain for gays remains strong in Russia. Some rally attempts provoke violence by opponents. St. Petersburg passed a law in February calling for fines of up to 500,000 rubles ($15,000) for spreading "homosexual propaganda."
 
And in Africa, homosexuality is illegal in nearly 40 countries and in the harshest nations -- including Sudan and parts of Nigeria -- it remains punishable by death. Violence against LGBT people is common, including government-sanctioned beating, stoning and whipping. And in South Africa, the most progressive nation of the continent, lesbians are frequently the victims of brutal corrective rape, intended to "cure" them of their sexual feelings toward other women.

That's some scary shit.
