Source  –  Egypt has conducted forced anal examinations of men during a crackdown on homosexuality in which 27 people have been arrested in a week. 

The crackdown was spared by a September 22 concert in Cairo in which an LGBT flag was raised, an incident that sparked the ongoing crackdown. In a statement, Amnesty said at least five of those arrested were subjected to anal examinations to determine whether they were engaged in same-sex sexual relations, a practice it said amounted to torture and was scientifically unsound. 

Homosexuality is highly taboo in Egypt among Muslims and Christians alike, but it is not explicitly prohibited by law.

I could be new-fashioned but if it’s illegal to be homosexual in Egypt doesn’t check anuses seem like more of an open guilty pleasure for the checker than an exam?  It very much fits in the “thou doth protest too much” conversation.

There are a million reasons I love living in Canada, and I’m reminded of them when I read shit like this

My friend Darcy has been married to a man for years.  He tweets about his relationship and issues with his spouse.  He posts pictures of his husband and daughter with pride and doesn’t give a fuck because love is love.  Red hair, brunette, gay, straight, Asian, Jewish, no one cares.

If he lived in Egypt, he’d be dead. Maybe his family too.

Under their debauchery rules, Egypt also punishes the family and friends of Homosexuals for not ratting them out.  Cute huh.

Canada should check the anus of the Egyptian ambassador to Canada and send him home with a gift basket.

Or maybe you could do us a favor and email the Egyptian Embassy in Canada this picture.  A lot.
