>> Go East! << Glad to be gay? A leader of the Palestine based Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade has claimed that Israel failed to defeat Hizbullah because its army is "full of gay soldiers". The Israeli army has allowed gays to take part in all aspects of military life since 1993. And Hamas' leader in Gaza, Dr Mahmoud Zahar has gone further, condemning the rights that all gays have in Israel saying "Are these the laws for which the Palestinian street is waiting? For us to give rights to homosexuals and to lesbians, a minority of perverts and the mentally and morally sick?? But not all his religious brethren agree. In Saudi Arabia, a gay wedding last weekend saw over 400 guests celebrating, until police sadly broke up the party and detained 20 guests for "emulating women".
