Lawyer Worries Goat and Tiger’s Romance Could Turn Kids Gay

A story from the “People Need To Calm Down File”: a Russian prosecutor is “investigating whether media coverage of the unlikely friendship between a male goat and a male tiger could spark interest among children in ‘non-traditional sexual relations,'” according to Time magazine. Last November, Amur the tiger and Timur the goat were introduced at a wildlife park near Vladivostok. The goat was supposed to be a meal for the tiger but instead the pair became friends and their unconventional relationship went viral. Now, Alexei Krestyanov, a lawyer with seemingly nothing else to do, claims the relationship could be harmful to children. “I think the positive coverage of this topic is nothing less than interference in the personal lives of minors, which is what hidden propaganda is, and public, active imposition of homosexuality,” Krestyanov wrote on Facebook. Sigh. Unfortunately, Timur and Amur are currently undergoing a trial separation after they attacked one another. Here’s hoping these two crazy kids can work it out!
Monday Meme: Soar

Today’s meme comes from feminist author Kate Chopin. Born on this day in 1850 in St. Louis, Missouri, Kate Chopin started writing to help lift herself out of a deep depression after the deaths of both her mother and husband. Chopin published hundreds of short stories before the release of her novel the Awakening in 1899. Shunned at the time because of its themes of sexual independence and marital infidelity, The Awakening was rediscovered in the 1960s and has been regarded as a classic of feminist literature ever since. Authors like Sylvia Plath and Edith Wharton were cited Chopin as an influence and the author who never made much money writing is now studied and discussed in literature classes around the globe. Soar, indeed.

Need a cool stamp to put on one of our cards? The United Nations Postal Administration has just the thing! The agency has recently released six new postage stamps promoting LGBT rights. These colorful stamps created by UNPA art director Sergio Baradat are “meant to celebrate the diversity of the gay community and marks the first time the global body’s post office has issued stamps with an LGBT theme” according to The Guardian. The stamps were unveiled at the UN general assembly building in New York City. The ceremony featured a performance by the Gay Men’s Chorus of New York and speeches by UN officials. While acknowledging the advancements made by the LGBT community, speakers noted that there is still more work to be done as hate crimes are still common and the c homosexuality is still criminalized in certain countries. “We need to change attitudes to one of acceptance,” said Stephen Cutts, UN assistant secretary-general. The stamps are available to purchase here.
