Gay Beards

Over the last two weeks, I've read articles on the extreme violence against homosexuals in Iraq, 

new anti-gay legislation in Putin's Russia, 

the impossible situation for gay's in Syria,

the debate on whether 'Different' a Christian provider that "cures", later changed into "assisting with" homosexuality in the Netherlands and 

also from the once progressive, liberal Netherlands, the news that compulsory education on homosexuality at schools has been delayed by a year. 

I am again and again stunned by how people can be bothered by other people having a different sexual preference. Good reason to celebrate some gay beard growing!
