The previous parliament, dominated by a centre-left coalition, passed a new family law in June 2011 but the Civil Initiative for Family and Children’s Rights challenged it, arguing that homosexuals should not receive adoption rights.

By February the group, which enjoys the support of the Catholic Church, had collected the 42,000 signatures necessary for a national referendum.

Opinion polls show voters are likely to narrowly endorse the law.

Under the legislation, gay couples do not have the right to adopt children from a third party but conservative groups want it annulled because it allows homosexuals to adopt the children of their partners.

“We are against the new family law because it does not recognize the exceptional importance of women and men in giving birth, the personal development and upbringing of children, and does not bring new rights to children,”Ales Primc, head of the civil group which initiated the referendum, told Reuters.

“It also paves a way for a homosexual education in the school system and we believe such an education should be followed only in agreement with parents.”

The small Adriatic country which joined the European Union in 2004 is relatively tolerant of homosexual couples, who have been able to formally register their relationship since 2006.

Last year a court sentenced three Slovenians to up to seven months in jail for attacking a gay activist in Ljubljana in 2009.

Human rights ombudsman Zdenka Cebasek Travnik told Reuters the public was unnecessarily focused on the issue of gay adoption rights because the law also contained “many, many things that are distinctively in favor of all children”.

The law envisages a special ombudsman for children’s rights and is expected to speed up court processes on matters concerning children’s rights. It also simplifies divorce for childless couples.

Slovenians have rejected five laws in a row in referendums over the past 16 months, which paved the way for parliament to Prime Minister Borut Pahor’s governmentin September.

The new conservative cabinet of Prime Minister Janez Jansa, which took office last month after a December election, is not participating in the referendum campaign although three of the five coalition parties oppose the family law.

Mr. Speaker Bercow was delivering an address to the Queen in Westminster Hall to mark the occasion of her Diamond Jubilee.

Referring to the changes that had taken place in Britain since her accession to the throne in 1952, Mr. Bercow said the United Kingdom was now a land where men and women are equal under the law ‘regardless of how they live, how they look or how they love’.

He went on to describe Her Majesty as ‘a kaleidoscope Queen of a kaleidoscope country in a kaleidoscope Commonwealth.’

Lance Price, Executive Director of the Kaleidoscope Trust, said: ‘John Bercow has once again demonstrated his commitment to upholding the human rights of lesbian and gay people. His choice of words today will not be lost of those of us who have admired his commitment to the values and objectives of the Kaleidoscope Trust since agreeing to be our President last September. Sadly we cannot yet say that men and women are equal under the law throughout the Commonwealth but we remain steadfast in our belief that they should be. We congratulate the Speaker on his words and, on behalf of the millions of LGBT people throughout the Commonwealth, whether free to express their sexuality without danger or not, we offer our own tribute to the kaleidoscope Queen.’

The following is an excerpt from the Speaker’s address: “This is a different Britain from 1952 but not one detached from then. We are in so many ways a much bigger, brighter and better United Kingdom. This is a land where men and women today are equal under the law and where Your people are respected, regardless of how they live, how they look or how they love. This is a nation of many races, faiths and customs, now beginning to be reflected in Parliament. All this progress has occurred during Your reign. You have become, to many of us, a kaleidoscope Queen of a kaleidoscope country in a kaleidoscope Commonwealth.”

Poise, elegance, and high heels aren’t typically words associated with men. But Kazaky, a Ukrainian sensation that debuted in 2010, is anything but typical. Slutting in sky-high stilettos, these gay men show the best display of dancing in stiletto heels since Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” (which they cover, by the way). Besides rebelling against gender norms, Kazaky’s fame continues to grow because of their distinctive choreography by group founder Oleg Zhezhel, danceable songs, and showmanship.

Artur Gasparian, Oleg Zhezhel, Kyryll Fedorenko and Francesco Borgato (who replaced Stas Pavlov last fall) compose this Ukrainian all male dancing group whose popularity has evolved worldwide, particularly after their viral video for “Love,” a track that has also debuted as the track for the new Viktor & Rolf fragrance, “Spicebomb.” In February, dancer @HelloJonte tweeted that Kazaky may be making an appearance in an Madonna video. They were there, but somewhat under-exposed in the dance routines.

Kazaky are more notable for their dramatic techno beats, tiny outfits and dance moves than for their singing. As the European studs make their mark on North America, you can’t help but wonder if their next appearance will be within Lady Gaga’s social circle, given their frequent appearance at Gay Pride events around the world.

By the way, Madonna will “speak up” at her upcoming St. Petersburg show in support of Russia’s gay community, following a ban on gay propaganda imposed by the city authorities.

“I will come to St. Petersburg to speak up for the gay community, to support the gay community and to give strength and inspiration to anyone who is or feels oppressed.” a post on Madonna’s Facebook page reads. “I don’t run away from adversity. I will speak during my show about this ridiculous atrocity.”

St. Petersburg’s Governor Georgy Poltavchenko on Sunday approved a law penalizing “the propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia among minors.” The law effectively outlaws any Gay Pride events.

Gay rights activists say Poltavchenko and city lawmaker Vitaly Milonov, who initiated the bill “violated the fundamental rights of LGBT people to freedom of expression, the right on which all democratic and free societies are based.”

St. Petersburg activists have sent letters to governments of the United States, European Union countries, Australia and Canada asking them to ban entry for city officials behind the controversial ban. Activist Nikolai Alexeyev has also filed a one-million-ruble (over $30,000) defamation lawsuit against Milonov.

The law, passed in the third and final reading by the city’s Legislative Assembly in late February, imposes fines of up to $16,000 on individuals and up to $160,000 on legal entities for the promotion of homosexual, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender practices among minors. It follows similar legislation in the southern Astrakhan region and the central Ryazan and Kostroma regions.

“When I decided to start a family, and began reaching out to adopt, I was a single father,” said Greeley, who moved to Virginia in 1987. He was in the Air Force and stationed at the Pentagon.

As a single, gay man, Greeley faced many challenges before successfully navigating the state’s adoption process.

He started the process in 2001. A year later, after locating a progressive child-placement agency in Virginia, he adopted his first child from Ukraine.

“It was a hard process and I was lucky,” said Greeley, who lives in Arlington and now has a second adopted son from El Salvador. “The first question I asked each agency was, ‘Do you work with single fathers?’ I called a dozen agencies, and only one said yes. It’s amazing to have that many doors shut in your face over and over again. No one asked, ‘Would you be a good father? What is your background?’ None of it was based on any of those things that would be important to determine is this a good placement for a child. It was just ‘No, we don’t work with single fathers.’ ”

He continued: “It’s a good thing to make sure that people are good parents. But it’s terrible when people won’t even consider you. They won’t even look at why, they’ll just tell you no.”

The process is about to get much more difficult.

Gov. Bob McDonnell is expected to soon sign a bill that would add a ‘conscience clause’ to state adoption laws that would give private child-placement agencies, even those that receive state funding, the legal right to deny services to prospective parents if they felt the placement would go against their written moral or religious beliefs.

The measure also would prohibit the state from denying grants, contracts or license renewals to agencies that exercise that right.

The bill has drawn sharp criticism from several state legislators, along with gay and lesbian residents and advocates, who view the measure as sanctioning legal discrimination.

“This bill gives license for state funds to be used for religious discrimination,” said state Sen. Adam Ebbin in a phone interview. “The question is should agencies that recieve tax payer dollars be able to discriminate?”

Ebbin, who is openly gay, opposed the bill in the Senate, which approved it last month 22-17.

The Family Foundation, a conservative group that supported the bill, called the approval a ‘monumental victory’ for religious freedom on its website, saying that it will protect religious groups and allow them to act in accordance with their values.

Neither the Family Foundation nor the bill’s sponsor, Republican state Sen. Jeff McWaters of Virginia Beach, returned phone calls or written requests to discuss their support.

The current structure of Virginia’s foster care system makes distinguishing between the public and private spheres almost impossible. In Virginia, a network of 120 public child-placement agencies and 70 private agencies help the state look after the 4,407 children currently being cared for by the state’s foster care system.

“Our departments often contract with private agencies for various aspects of the placement process,” said Eileen Guertler, a spokeswoman for the Virginia Department of Social Services. “Many private agencies do wonderful work and play a vital role for children in our system.”

While many private agencies certainly provide valuable services to some of the state’s most vulnerable children, introducing morality into the legal process of adoption will make the already difficult process almost impossible for some parents hoping to adopt.

In a recent Huffington Post op-ed, demographer Gary Gates of the University of California Los Angeles Williams Institute argued that the measure is not in best the interest of Virginia’s children.

Highlighting the estimated 1,700 adopted children and 300 foster children being raised by single gay and lesbian parents in Virginia, Gates predicted that the new law would have negative economic and social consequences in this state by barring otherwise-qualified prospective parents from adopting solely on a moral basis.

“I think a lot of people who could make good parents won’t have the opportunity to do that, and it’s sad,” said Greeley, who shared his story before a Senate subcommittee.

“There are lots of choices you’ll make through life and in many cases you’ll think back and question. For me, the decision to adopt was never one I’ve looked back on.”

Homosexuality, punished with jail terms in the Soviet Union, was only decriminalized in Russia in 1993, though much of the homosexual community remains largely underground as anti-gay prejudice runs deep.

The new legislation would impose a fine of up to 5,000 Roubles (US$170) for individuals and 500,000 Roubles for companies spreading what the bill calls Propaganda that could damage the health, moral and spiritual development of the underaged.

“The bill is faulty from the legal point of view, and it is an attempt to violate the rights of homosexuals,” said Olga Lenkova, spokeswoman for the sexual minorities rights organisation Vykhod.

She said that, because the bill did not spell out what would amount to unlawful propaganda, the legislation might be used to ban gay rights demonstrations. She also said it failed to give clear instructions to police officers, who will have to make an ultimate decision on enforcing the legislation.

A local deputy from United Russia, Vitaly Milonov, defended the initiative, saying it sent a signal that Russia will not tolerate liberal Western ideals.

“The bill’s critics want to follow a new-liberal path, introduce sexual education … and allow same-sex couples to adopt children, just like in some European countries,” Milonov, one of 26 deputies backing the law, told Reuters.

Five deputies voted against and one abstained.

Numerous attempts to hold gay protests in Moscow, ruled illegal by the authorities, have ended in multiple arrests and clashes with ultra-Orthodox believers who say homosexuals should be punished or treated in hospital for their “illness”.

In 2010 the European Court of Human Rights fined Russia for banning gay parades in Moscow, in what gay rights activists described as a historic victory.

In 1975 David Miretsky brought his art from Kiev, Ukraine to Cincinnati. His narrative paintings were steeped in the tradition of the Old Masters and the Russian heritage of miniature painting. In Communist Ukraine, they were subversive.

“The State dictates the artist what to think and how to express,” Miretsky says of the former Soviet Union, where he was forced to exhibit underground. As he prepared to immigrate to America his paintings needed a disguise. He covered his own work with parchment paper and painted over them with abstract images.

“I hid my innocent paintings under the layer of abstract painting,” he says.

The guise fooled authorities and his artwork escaped intact.

Phyllis Weston gave him his first Cincinnati exhibition at Closson’s, where she was chief curator. Now in New York, Miretsky has gained East Coast notoriety. His paintings and drawings of cabaret dancers and lovers reflect Ukrainian culture in Brighton Beach, N.Y.

“Gradually the gentle borders of before and present become vague. Life of Brighton Beach seeps in without seeming to do so. It doesn’t matter which life I’m painting,” says Miretsky.

His miniatures are a peep show into the human psyche. The small scale is like looking through a keyhole at a woman dressing. The tiny paintings on wooden panel are set in a frame of gessoed canvas, like a painting within a painting.

The uncanny details verge on Magic Realism. “Cure” is like a stress dream. A frazzled man drops his crutches and kneels, drinking water spewing from a mountain. Curiously, the man has only one leg and wears a woman’s shoe. A hand pops out of the window in the mountain and the man pays it money. It is an allegory of the martyrdom of St. Sebastian. Here the man may be paying penance, just as Sebastian died for his religion. But why does he wear a woman’s shoe? Is he the gay icon often interpreted in images of St. Sebastian by Andrea Mantegna and others?

In “Man Who Can See Only Horizontally” and “Man Who Can See Only Vertically,” two men in suits clap their hands. Vizors frame the eyes of one man. Distant blue skies and fluffy clouds recall a Rene Magritte landscape. Miretsky reinterprets the iconography of the businessman whose view is obscured by a green apple. As Magritte said, “Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see.”

Ukrainian icon painting lives on in Kiev resident Svetlana Derenshuk. She was born into a family of icon painters and studied at Mariupol Art Studio in Ukraine. The Byzantine religious subjects, painted on wood with gold leaf backgrounds, began to influence Ukrainian art in the 10th century C.E. and remain a cultural legacy.

“You can see the influence of icon painting in her work with the flatness of perspective and figures in profile,” gallery director Cate Yellig says.

Many of Derenshuk’s scenes are of mothers and children, as in “Self-Portrait with Son.” The child appears weightless in mother’s arms due to the lack of shading and his disproportionately small limbs. Mother’s hair is parted down the middle just as Derenshuk always wears it. These personal touches give the painting specificity, but the iconography of Virgin and child is also apparent.

Her paintings run the gamut from ritual to mundane to fantastical. Women dress in dazzling patterns as they march in “Celebratory Procession.” Scenes defy explanation, as in “Man with Petite Woman,” in which the man balances a doll-like woman in his palm against a background of mysterious blue foliage. Her enigmatic landscapes recall modern primitive Henri Rousseau.

Who can explain in Rousseau’s “Child on the Rocks” and why the little boy appears to straddle mountains like a giant? How does a woman end up naked in the woods beside a snarling bear in “An Unpleasant Surprise”? We relish these curiosities, and let the distorted perspective, strange proportions and surreal-blue skies excite our eye.

The work is naïve in a sense that it is unadulterated by art trends. It springs from the spontaneous heart of the creator. Derenshuk’s paintings are like a distant childhood memory. The colors are heightened, perspective flattened and clarity lost. It becomes a fading dream.

Ranked fifth in the European Championship and ninth in the World Championship, Szabo stood a chance to at least place, if not win, a medal in Athens. That ended when Hungarian media reported on his performing in almost a dozen gay porn videos under the name Sergio Foster.

Among the videos, the ironically titled Secrets of a Wrestler series features Szabo and others in authentic wrestling scenes, then having sex in a sports facility near Budapest.

Hungarian laws prohibit the sale of such videos in their own country, which perhaps led the naive athletes to believe what producers told them – that no one they knew would find out. But the Internet quickly made their faces – and bodies – known to the world.

Why would an Olympic athlete appear in hardcore porn, if actors only make a reported 700 Euros ($866 USD) per video? Mark Kleim, who broke the story in English on his website www.gaypornblog.com, referred me to a Hungarian insider, who translated his country’s news coverage.

The tabloid Szines Mai Lap interviewed Szabo’s coach, Tamas Csokas, who said that Szabo had family financial problems that “seemed to be solved by the offers of pornographers. That is why he said yes to their request,” Csokas said. “Gergo is not homosexual. He just needed money, but he has already been sorry for his mistakes.”

The article reported that Szabo’s team has confidence in their teammate, who gave up gay porn to compete fulltime. “His results are really important, because Hungarians have never had such successes in this category before,” Csokas added. “The whole team fights for Gergo. They love him.”

Despite such support, in May 2004 Gergo Szabo was forced off the team after a decision from the Hungarian Wrestling Federation. Szabo was one of the first athletes in porn to make Hungarian headlines, yet his isn’t an isolated case.

An innocuous 1995 softcore video called Wrestle featured men of the Hungarian wrestling team grappling naked. Greenwood Cooper Studio also produced Gymnastikos, which featured members of the Olympic gold medal Hungarian Men’s Gymnastic Team.

Those delicate beginnings may have sparked what Hungary’s media calls a huge gay porn industry that includes prostitution, the secretive compliance of officials in Hungarian athletics, and the desperation of financially strapped athletes.

According to a www.Blikk.hu article, Hungarian journalist Laszlo Menyhert Meszaros’ book Plastic Stars reveals “the dirty secrets of Hungarian media moguls and superstars, leaders of TV channels, who use their positions and their programs to hunt for young musclemen, offering them jobs, publicity, and careers in return for sex and gay porn activities.”

The Hungarian website www.nyugat.hu covered the porn/athlete connection in a series of articles about bodybuilders who moonlight as prostitutes, including Mr. Ukraine/Mr. Universe/Mr. World 1991, Attila Szabo.

Attila Szabo’s coach and mentor is Istvan Kovacs, founder and owner of Budapest’s renowned Koko Gym. The first Hungarian gay hardcore video, Knock Out, was shot at the Koko Gym.

Another video, Ambassadors of the Ice, was shot in December 2002 on an ice rink and in locker rooms at Szekesfehervar’s Alba Volan Ice Hockey Bowl, home of a national championship team. The rink was rented for a week at 100 Euros ($124 USD) per hour. Management claimed they were told a TV commercial was being shot.

The www.Blikk.hu article quotes “Ricardo,” who performed in that video and found the official’s lack of knowledge “very strange, because employees of the ice hockey bowl lurked around the performers, out of curiosity.” When Ricardo and his costars needed anything, the rink’s staff were entirely at their service.

I spoke with a representative of Pacific Sun Entertainment, the Southern California company that distributes most of director Csaba Borbely’s videos. He asked to remain anonymous, and was unable to arrange an interview with Szabo. But he did say that his company no longer works with Borbely, and that porn gives the athletes quick cash.

“The economy in Hungary made it very tempting for them,” he says. “Besides, the whole labeling system of straight, gay, and bisexual is not prevalent there. A lot of them don’t have a problem with it.”

The revised 2003 disciplinary code of the Hungarian Wrestling Federation gave orders to investigate Szabo’s porn past for the previous two years. Yet supporters of the wrestler say his disqualification was not legitimate, because he had not made any videos since 2001.

Tamas Gaspar, secretary general of the Hungarian Wrestling Federation, in a January 2004 interview in the Hungarian Szines Mai Lap, said, “We have never had such a scandalous affair in our sport. A public figure must keep certain rules. It is not our business if somebody were gay. But if he did gay porn, that is a quite another story.”

Yet no sports officials accused of having financial ties to the porn industry have been investigated.

The hypocrisy of Hungarian sports officials who allow the taping of porn videos at sports facilities, then shun athletes who perform in them, leaves that country with a conflict-laden erotic export – and without an accomplished, if not misguided, athlete to represent them in Athens.

Amid the smell of incense, the service began with a prayer about St. Cornelius. Then the priest, Roman Zuyev, handed out the consecrated bread and wine before the congregation embraced, wishing each other peace.

This gathering, arranged in secret, was organized by the Center of St. Cornelius the Centurion, a small church community of around 30 people founded six months ago to provide gays with a place to worship.

While more European countries and U.S. states are legalizing gay marriage and child adoption by homosexual couples, homosexuality remains frowned on in conservative Ukraine. Unable to find a church that accepted their sexuality rather than treating it as a sin, these Christians found another way to satisfy their spiritual needs – by setting up their own group.

“Traditional churches would discriminate against us, but we believe in God, and there was no other way out but to create our own church,” said Zuyev, the priest of the church who earns his living as a taxi driver.

The worshippers meet for mass at the offices of friendly organizations or at people’s homes. At first, they gave addresses on their website, but now they meet in secret after they were attacked by a group of teenagers in masks yelling homophobic insults and tossing smoke bombs and firecrackers.

The mass is a mixed bag of different traditions, reflecting the diverse nature of the congregation. Zuyev grew up in a family of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

“Once I felt attracted to men, I fell into a deep inner conflict. I felt that God was rejecting me and left the church,” Zuyev recalled. He tried to overcome what he had been taught was a sin, but failed. Then he started to learn the Bible and discovered that “it contains nothing against gays,” he said. He joined a Mormon church and became a priest, but was defrocked when they found out he was gay.

But Zuyev, a balding man in his 30s with a calm, steady voice, decided to set up his own church after he was assaulted by a police officer because of his sexuality. He won a court case last October – the first in Ukraine involving homophobia. But he was struck by the abuse he received from bystanders attending the court hearings, and decided gays needed a place to worship and support each other.

Volodymyr Ponomarenko leads a church for homosexuals in Kyiv. This group is so afraid of publicity that they do not allow reporters to observe their gatherings. The group’s website – www.gaycredo.org.ua – contains clear influences of gay culture, adapted to church situations. One advert for SMS prayer services shows a handsome, half-naked man, declaring: “I’m praying for you.”

Ponomarenko said Catholic and Orthodox priests sometimes take services at the church, but refused to name them.

Evstratiy Zorya, a spokesman for the Orthodox Church’s Kyiv Patriarchate, said he doubted this, quoting the Bible in saying that god is disgusted by homosexuals.
Zuyev, however, argues that the New Testament is not explicitly anti-gay, adding that other practices forbidden by the Bible – such as wearing clothes made from two different fibers – are also ignored in the modern world.

His congregation is receiving support from abroad. Later this year, one of the faithful – who would identify himself only as Anton – will be married to his male partner by a visiting priest from the Metropolitan Community Churches, a U.S. gay-friendly church.

There are several churches in the West that are friendly toward homosexuals, including the Episcopal Church in the U.S., Quakers in the United Kingdom and Lutheran churches in Sweden.

Still, the major world religions – Orthodox and Catholic Christianity, Islam and Hinduism – condemn homosexuals.

“Religions are designed to assert social development. And social development is to “be fruitful and multiply,” which requires being straight,” said Lyudmyla Pylypovych, a researcher in Kyiv who studies religions.

The only big religion that is accepting of gays is Buddhism. Dorje Jambo Choidje-lama, a Ukrainian Buddhist leader, said his religion is neutral towards gays, and that there are gay Buddhists in Ukraine.

“In a previous life, a person could have had another gender. That is why he or she might be gay. So no cultures connected to the Buddha’s teachings, like Japan and China, ever had troubles with the gay issue before Christianity arrived there,” he explained.

On the Eve of the New 2011 I would like to tell you, dear readers, what has happened to me exactly nine years ago – on December 30, 2001.

Tat time I lived in Kyiv, on Basseyna Street, and along with other gay activities I administered one of the most popular bulletin board systems “Gay Orgasm of Ukraine”. This job didn’t bring me any profit, but I’ve got enough thrills and adventures doing it.

One of the features of that board was that the newest placed personals came to me directly by email. So once I saw a cute ad from a user under the nickname “Hobo” from Luhansk, who was going to meet the New Year in the capital, and therefore urgently was looking for gay sex partners.

I knew who in this country is hiding under a scandalous nick and that email address, so I’ve decided to get acquainted more closely with the “leader” of the gay movement more closely going for it under the guise of simple and regular Kyiv gay boy.

After exchanging couple of e-mails, photos and phone numbers, we agreed to meet. Needless to say, my assumptions were justified: real Andriy Maymulakhin wanted to visit the Ukrainian capital! Picture sent by Hobo to my email was the same one as that on the official site of Luhansk regional LGBT center, “Nash Mir” (Our World).

On December 30 Luhansk gay activist, as promised, has come to the capital. After he has lodged in a cheapest hotel on the left coast of the Dnipro river (nowadays he holds his conferences there), Hobo called me at twilight. I have appointed him to a rendezvous in “Starukha”-Café (legendary gay venue “Old Kiev” on the main street of Khreshchatyk closed in 2005).

And then came “a long-awaited” moment of our meeting. On the appointment I met not only Mr. Maymulakhin, but also his accomplice from the LGBT Center of the “Nash Mir” Mr. Zinchenkov (Editorial Note: Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Zinchenkov, Ukrainian gay activist and long-term fucker of Andriy Maymulakhin whose cock is needed in case Mr. Maymulakhin hasn’t found new cock for the coming night).

I came to the meeting dressed in military uniform fashionable in those days. The “lady from Luhansk” melted away because of my appearance. After long pause (s)he finally asked whether I am dressed in military uniform all the time. I replied that, unlike her, I am always dressed in style and according the latest fashions.

What can I say, dear readers, as it turned out in real life this misery from Luhansk look even worse than on retouched photos. Andriy Maymulakhin look like old, shriveled mummy with very dry black-yellow skin, ferret face and lascivious eyes.

I have asked Hobo directly: — Why are you so much ugly, darling?

This question of mine hasn’t confused the gay activist at all. It seemed to me that Mr. Maymulakhin has got used to similar questions, because he has replied without delay:

- But in my young years I was beautiful both by my body and by my soul. And now, despite respectable age, I give my ass to fuck and I still do it better and oftener than 16 years old boy!

Then the Luhansk guest, in plain terms, has suggested coming to our business. As in phone conversation I had imprudence to tell that I live close to Khreshchatyk Street, Mr(s). Maymulakhin wanted to come to my place as soon as possible.

And in fact, why should we fuck in the water closet of “Starukha”-Café?!! My Azerbaijani admirer Yan who worked as bar-keeper there wouldn’t like that idea for sure! So, in minutes the accomplice of Luhansk “lady with the cock” Mr. Zinchenkov was sent to hotel “empty-handed”, although all his behavior signalized that he also had reckoned on New Year fucking.

While Luhansk gay star went to visit the WC in the café I understood that the coming event could be very interesting as for the future disclosures. That’s why I have invited two my colleagues from other Kyiv gay media who were sitting in the “Starukha”-Café that evening. I desperately needed witnesses of coming fucking. Who will believe me without witnesses after all?

The presence of strangers at my place hasn’t confused the Luhansk gay activist absolutely. After (s)he entered my apartment and has seen that there are guests in the living room and the bedroom door is locked with the key, Hobo from Luhansk went directly to my kitchen.

Indeed, why to waste his precious time when, if according to the own words of Mr. Maymulakhin, he has planned another three or four appointments with the other tops on the same evening! Do you think the Luhansk “girl” came to Ukrainian capital in vain?

First of all I drunk a glass of vodka with my guests (the reporters from Kyiv gay media I’ve invited from the café), because without vodka I wouldn’t get hard dick towards Luhansk “killing beauty”. Then I’ve instructed my guests how to act during my play in order to obtain exclusive stuff for their media.

After all when I came to the kitchen I was not able to believe my eyes!

Andriy Maymulakhin, self-proclaimed leader of the Ukrainian gay liberation movement, has climbed up on my washing machine Bosch Silver Edition, and placed his body on it on all fours (doggy-style) – totally naked, with smoothly shaved lubricated asshole and lovely drawn balls.

The expression of his face clearly indicated the desire to be fucked into his ass as soon as possible. Incomprehensible liquid flowing from his wide asshole on the thigh – perhaps it was lubricant, but also it could be the sperm of his previous fucker. Anyway there was a lot of this murky sticky liquid flowing from his anus. His thighs were swimming in it!

I wan not born on yesterday, dear readers! I saw different gay men including many perverts and silly morons. But saying the truth even for me such frivolous and unbridled behavior of “Ukrainian gay leader” seemed strange, especially if to take into consideration that he was at the stranger’s place for the very first time.

“So, as I see, Luhansk ass-pussy has mixed up a decent house with a station toilet,” – the thought flashed through my mind. I was not going to deny the pleasure for myself to bring this horny freak-show featuring anal queen of our country Andriy Maymulakin to the end.

I lowered the camouflage breeches and put my hard dick into Mr. Maymulakhin’s asshole till my balls. Diameter of an anal aperture of the cachectic gay activist has amazed me by its unlimited dimensionless! The bucket could fly through with whistle! As outwardly the “lady from Luhansk” looked like dried smoked sprat, I was hardly able to understand how it could be possible with such body leanness to have a beer can sized asshole.

After making pair frictions in a broken anus of the leader on the washing machine, I have submitted a prearranged sound signal to the witnesses that expected the culmination behind a wall, in my living room.

Real hungry broken ass of Andriy Maymulakin (Ukrainian gay leader sends this standard photo making contacts over Internet)

And here, at the moment of the highest prostate orgasm of the lewd anal queen from Luhansk, the star of scandalous journalism Stanislav Kinski has rushed into the kitchen with the camera. At this moment Mr. Maymulakhin has realized what is going on. He has pushed away the journalist and wildly run to the bathroom having seized his clothes.

After he’s got dressed in the bathroom, “abused innocence” has jumped hotfoot out of my apartment – and I with colleagues laughed loudly from a balcony for a long time until he was able to hear us.

Next morning, on December 31 I was in the airplane flying to Zurich – to my beloved Swiss husband. And the memories about anal penetration of “Ukrainian gay liberation leader” made me laugh on board, helping me to overcome the cruel alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

Nine years passed. Already in 2003 Luhansk anal queen has moved to the capital where (s)he bought wonderful 5-rooms apartment in new building on the left coast of the Dnipro river. Estimating the costs of this property I cam tell you (s)he bought it for at least 180.000 Euros (in real estate prices of 2003). Although this habitation is his private apartment Mr. Maymulakhin has bought it using money allocated by the EU to protect gay rights in Ukraine… I begun to forget my New Year’s Eve passions with Andriy Maymulakhin hoping that after his relocation to Kiev prankster Hobo has got enough dicks into his insatiable ass.

But no! As it turned out my Luhansk darling still can not live without thrill! If you don’t believe me, check gay dating sites on weekdays, preferably at the day-time. You’ll surely meet the Ukrainian gay leader under the same nickname gay_hobo! He still is looking for “some brain and thick cock” or “for tops with thick instrument”

Most interesting thing of this entire story is that nowadays Mr. Maymulakhin provides exclusive training courses for the Ukrainian gay men “How to Keep Fidelity in the Same-sex Partnership”!

Section 3 is the specific clause that prohibits the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages. In a press release announcing the change, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder further argues that laws regarding sexual orientation should be subject to a higher level of review:

Section 3 of DOMA has now been challenged in the Second Circuit, however, which has no established or binding standard for how laws concerning sexual orientation should be treated. In these cases, the Administration faces for the first time the question of whether laws regarding sexual orientation are subject to the more permissive standard of review or whether a more rigorous standard, under which laws targeting minority groups with a history of discrimination are viewed with suspicion by the courts, should apply.

After careful consideration, including a review of my recommendation, the President has concluded that given a number of factors, including a documented history of discrimination, classifications based on sexual orientation should be subject to a more heightened standard of scrutiny. The President has also concluded that Section 3 of DOMA, as applied to legally married same-sex couples, fails to meet that standard and is therefore unconstitutional. Given that conclusion, the President has instructed the Department not to defend the statute in such cases. I fully concur with the President’s determination.

Consequently, the Department will not defend the constitutionality of Section 3 of DOMA as applied to same-sex married couples in the two cases filed in the Second Circuit. We will, however, remain parties to the cases and continue to represent the interests of the United States throughout the litigation.

As recently as last October, the Obama administration announced its intention to stand behind DOMA and in January of this year filed a brief arguing that “DOMA is rationally related to legitimate governmental interests.”

Once again, the president demonstrates a weakness that his plagued his stewardship almost since his first day in office—namely, taking a firm, immutable stance with respect to a topic on which there is sharp political division. In this case, his decision (if in fact it is final!) could prove costly. A Gallup poll from last May shows 53% of Americans opposing same-sex marriage while 44% favor it. The president has also initiated yet another battle between the federal government and the states, 35 of which currently have laws on the books prohibiting same-sex marriage.
