1) Roman Giertych, Poland's controversial Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education, is preparing legislation to sanction school principals who allow members of gay rights organisations to speak with pupils, a Polish education ministry spokesperson confirmed Tuesday. Giertych recently stirred controversy in Heidelberg, Germany, during a meeting of EU education ministers when he openly criticized abortion rights and what he termed "homosexual propaganda". "The propaganda of homosexuality is reaching ever younger children." Giertych said in the Heidelberg speech.
2) The top military commander in the US said he believed homosexual acts were "immoral". Marine General Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he backed the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" policy regarding homosexuality. The policy bans homosexual acts between members of the military.
"I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts," Gen Pace told the Chicago Tribune. "As an individual, I would not want [acceptance of gay behaviour] to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with somebody else's wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behaviour," he said.
3) The Supreme Court in France declared the first and only marriage between two men in France null and void.
4) Bonaire refuses same-sex marriage. Benito Dirksz, political leader of Partido Pro Desaryo Boneiru (PRO), thinks that the government party UPB should demand a guarantee that the Dutch law on same-sex marriage will not come into effect on Bonaire.
