German athletes will wear the above rainbow-hued uniforms at the Sochi Olympics, but officials insist the design is not intended as a commentary on Russia's anti-gay laws.
The German Olympic Sports Confederation insists that the design was finalized "before the Russian protests had even begun."

"Prankster Lukáš Nový, from Brno in the Czech Republic, claims that his Pastafarian faith means he has to wear the sieve at all times. Officials ruled that turning down Novy's request would be a breach of the country's religious equality laws. Brno City Hall spokesman Pavel Zara explained: 'The application complies with the laws of the Czech Republic where headgear for religious or medical reasons is permitted if it does not hide the face.' Novy claims to be a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (webpage), when emerged in the USA as spoof on organised religion. According to its tongue-in-cheek website their 'only dogma ... is the rejection of dogma'. Members claim to believe that an invisible alien made of spaghetti and meatballs created the universe after 'drinking heavily."---
"Pink money describes the purchasing power of the gay community, often especially with respect to political donations. With the rise of the gay rights movement, pink money has gone from being a fringe or marginalized market to a thriving industry in many parts of the Western world such as the United States and United Kingdom. Many businesses now specifically cater to gay customers, including nightclubs, shops, restaurants, and even taxicabs; the demand for these services stems from commonly perceived discrimination by traditional businesses. Worldwide in 1998, pink money was valued at £350 billion ($560 billion) across a variety of sectors — especially entertainment and consumer goods. Purchasing power in 2012 in the United States is expected to increase to $790 billion.
The economic power of pink money has been seen as a positive force for the gay community, creating a kind of "financial self-identification" which helps gay and lesbian individuals feel like part of a community which values them. Indeed, upwards of 90% of gay people support businesses which target pink money, while actively shunning "anti-gay" companies. However, criticism has been leveled at businesses which target pink money from gay groups, arguing that this segregates the gay and lesbian community from society, and holds back gay rights.
It's been considered more often than not a market exclusive for USA, UK and some places in Europe, but its extension covers a large amount of Latin America and part of Asia, making its actual earns larger by year and giving marketing options some impulse and variety."
"The equal marriage bill for England and Wales was today given Royal Assent, and is now officially law.
The Queen’s Royal Assent was granted to the bill on Wednesday at 15:06, turning it into the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act, after clearing the final stage in Parliament yesterday, following two hours of debate, and the introduction of government amendments.
The bill officially became law once its Royal Assent was announced in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Conservative MP David Burrowes had tabled an amendment and was yesterday again accused of trying to delay implementation of the bill. Pro-equal marriage MPs padded out their speeches so that Mr Burrowes could not propose his amendment.
The equal marriage bill was passed in the House of Commons, and as all amendments added in the House of Lords were accepted, it will not be required to go back to the Lords.
The first same-sex marriages in England and Wales will take place in summer 2014."---
"All my life I've been good.
Do what my mom and dad and god say I should.Go to church and bible school to live by god's rule.So whatever people tell meThat the bible tells me, I will do.
Walk the halls at my school with my purity ring.Unlike those other girls, I got my morals intact.It was easy to do 'til I got a boyfriend
And pardon my French, but he's cute as heckAnd I made a pact to keep my hymen intact and Jesus and I are tight.
Never learned about the birds and bees.I was taught to keep an aspirin in between my kneesBecause the bible says premarital sex is wrong,But Jason says that guys can't wait that long.I don't want to lose him to someone who will do him.
I need to figure something out.
Well there's a loophole in the scripture that works really wellSo I can get him off without going to hell.It's my Hail Mary full of grace.In Jesus's name, we go to fifth base.
Oh thank you for making me holy.And thank you for giving me holes to choose fromAnd since I'm not a godless whore,
He'll have to come in the back door.
Therefore, fuck me in the ass because I love Jesus.The Good Lord would want it that way.That sweet sensation of a rock-hard rationalization.It's just between you and me.
Because everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see.
It's hard to be as pure as me- to resist the urge to lose my vaginal virginityI'll wait until my marriage bed to give my husband my un-salty maiden headSo take out your cock, shove it in my ass, fuck me until you come.Oops. I mean let's join our souls and unite our bodies and fly on the wings of love.
Whatever you do, don't touch my clitoris. If you ring Satan's doorbell, God can't ignore this.And no prophylactics when you put it inBecause birth control's for sluts and it's a sin.I've emptied my bowels and laid out the towels and I'm ready for romance.Now I'm praying to the power that's the highestBut of all my holes, this one's the driest.
And we can't procreate if we anally copulate and God's okay with sodomy, but only if you're straight.And I'm staying here no matter what so I'm okay with everything but...everything but...everything butt.
Woah. Fuck me in the ass because I love Jesus.The Good Lord would want it that way.That sweet sensation of a rock-hard rationalization.It's just between you and me.
Because everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see.
I do whatever the Bible tells me to...Except for the parts that I choose to ignore because they're unrealistic and inconvenient, but the rest I live by for sure.So let's not talk about how the good book banned shellfish, polyester, and divorce and how we condone slavery and killing gays because those parts don't count of course.Let's cherrypick the part about losing my cherry and the many ambiguities to circumvent any real sacrifice and still feel prized in my arbitrary and varied imposition.And don't you dare question my convictions.And don't look closely at the contradictions.Just focus on the sacrificial crucifixion.And have faith in his complete jurisdiction.As the only way to measure if you're good or not.And if you didn't have faith, just say you have faith.Because up against logic it's the only card you've got.So close your eyes.Take a deep breath.
And... fuck me in the ass because I love Jesus.The Good Lord would want it that way.That sweet sensation of a rock-hard rationalization.It's just between you and me.
Because everyone knows it's the sex that God can't see.
Yeah my chastity belt has locks,So sometimes you need to think outside the box"
