Pope Francis Replies after backlash regarding homosexuality-''Church should not fear change''
 Pope Francis hope for the Catholic church to embrace gay unions failed after the more conservatives in the Roman Catholic church refused to veto the final document that the catholic church should learn to respect the positive aspects of gay couples because,they have "Gifts and qualities" to offer the church .

They however changed the initial document to accept that men and women of homosexual tendencies must be welcomed with respect and sensitivity and should not suffer from discrimination .
Proposals to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive communion were also defeated.

 The gay rights Catholics have expressed disappointment that  at the end of the two week assembly known as  synod,the church failed to welcome them with openness like they do to straight people...

 Three controversial articles, including the final version of one concerning gays won an absolute majority but failed to get the two-thirds vote needed for a broad consensus.
At the final closing ceremony yesterday, Pope Francis who wants a more merciful and less rigid church said in regards to the rejection of change by some bishops

"God is not afraid of new things. That is why he is continuously surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding us in unexpected ways," "the Church is called to waste no time in seeking to bind up open wounds and to rekindle hope in so many people who have lost hope.The church has to respond courageously to whatever new challenges come our way"

Liberal bishops such as Mgr Georges Pontier, President of the French Bishops’ Conference told Reuters

 “If a same-sex couple has been in a relationship for 30 years, I can’t call that nothing,” 
 Cardinal Reinhard Marx, Archbishop of Munich.said..

 “Exclusion is not the language of the Church,”“You cannot tell Catholics living in irregular family situations, ‘you are a second-rate Christians’.”

Burning Man Erection Contests Where A mans Erectile resilience (Stiffy) is Tested.

Image
"The first boner to rise gets the prize," says Brad McCray at the start of the event. McCray is a beast of a man who leads the Burning Man theme camp Slut Garden with his wife of 10 years, Tammy. In front of him, five men stand exposed from the waist down with their scantily clad female partners dancing around them, encircled by a cheering, dust-covered crowd of hundreds. Every man is trying to produce an erection as fast as he can without touching himself. Their partners can encourage the sexletes but not by using their hands. This is the Speed Boner challenge, the finale to McCray's fourth annual Slut Olympics. Other events include Deep Throat (a pretty self-explanatory contest that involves a 13-inch dildo), Guess-A-Willy (a blindfolded woman has to identify her partner's penis out of a lineup of naked men), and a Best Balls beauty contest. Speed Boner is still the biggest draw. For seven days, a patch of the Black Rock Desert in Nevada becomes t...

Revealed! Yvonne Nelson Speaks on lesbian Rumours.

’I like Jim Iyke because he is a hot guy’ By Ekerete Udoh My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with. I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her. Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had alway...

The movement: states as its mission 'As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right.

The following cities are officially topless "tested...
