Interesting analysis that seems to confirm all of the recent polling showing support crossing 50%.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Malaysian authorities have sent 66 Muslim schoolboys identified by teachers as effeminate to a four-day camp where they will receive counselling on masculine behaviour to discourage them from being gay, an official said Tuesday.

Gay rights advocates decried the measure as a symptom of widespread homophobia in this Muslim-majority country where gay sex is illegal.

The boys between 13 and 17 years old reported Monday for what is officially being called a "self-development course" after their schoolteachers in Terengganu state identified them as students who displayed effeminate mannerisms, said Razali Daud, the state's education director.

They will undergo religious and motivational classes and physical guidance, Razali said. He declined to give further details.

5. Yeah, because we know there are no masculine gay men

That's how the Marines know they're gay-free... a complete lack of plucked eyebrows* in the men's barracks.

*replace "plucked eyebrows" with any other stereotypical trait, as needed

6. How sad we have to wait for equality until enough people approve.

7. Does this mean we can pass laws so opponents of gay marriage can't get married?
