Gay kingdom wants UN recognition

Moves are underway for the creation of an independent GLBT state off the coast of Australia, with plans for the new nation to demand recognition before the United Nations.

Gay and lesbian activists formed the “Gay & Lesbian Kingdom of the Coral Sea Islands” in June last year after the Australian government passed legislation banning same-sex marriage and stripping same-sex couples of civil rights.

The activists are now working on a submission to present to the United Nations that will bring Australia before the International Court of Justice, in order to compel the country to recognize the new state as an independent nation, on the grounds that under the current laws of Australia its gay and lesbian citizens are an “oppressed people, ruled by an overseas colonial power (Australia) and therefore because the Coral Sea Islands are a colony/territory of Australia, inhabited exclusively by the Gay Tribe, by the laws of the United Nations and its charter the Gay Kingdom has the right to self determination.”

The group appear to be serious about creating a new country for GLBT “refugees” worldwide, despite the Coral Sea Islands only possessing a total land area of less than 3 square kilometres. The Gay Government has already issued passports and postage stamps to raise revenue for building infrastructure.

After establishement of this “gay homeland”, it is intended that “our nation will welcome GLBT refugees from around the world like Israel does for Jews”, say organisers.

Ah, thanks. Aging gracefully doesn't seem to be his forte.

Yes I am still in school, I am 15 and no my teachers haven't brainwashed me (they all think homosexuality is very wrong) No I don't read the Bible and I don't have a religion. I'm not trying to change anyones opinion of homosexuals or anything, if you don't like them or if you don't approve of them than thats your choice and I have no right to try to change it. All I'm saying is that they personally don't bother me. All I want people to know is that not all homosexuals are crazy extremest, yes I know there are a lot out there and they are the ones you see most but not all are like that.

Do you think we should give this little image its own thread?

[Grampa Dave]

Please post it as a separate thread, and we will ping it out.

This is no accident re the wording.

Will the historically glorious gerbil symbolically be part the Kingdom's official seal?

[MadIvan]

Presumably the head of state will be a Queen, no matter their gender.

Can I petition to make my house a nation?

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[dfwgator]

Shouldn't it be a "Queendom" rather than a Kingdom?

[rollo tomasi]

Currency will read "In KY Jelly We Trust".

Thanks for the Ping J

Just when you think the world can't get any crazier, it fools you and does.

[xJones]

Don't know, but they'll sure have a lot of Rear Admirals.

I don't want to think about their dungeons jails. With all those whips, chains, and leather accouterments for naughty homos who need to be taught a lesson...
