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.
Thanks a lot, now I have to clean the pop I was drinking off my computer. :)
The Island of Misfit Boys.
[Freepmail me to get on or off this Not-A-Ping-List.]
My GOD, WHAT NEXT? Will these idiots ever stop shoving their immoral behavior down our throats?
I believe the Island you are thinking of for nuclear testing is Amchitka (sp?)
Now gays are like persecuted Jews. Incredible.
Talk about delusional.
Well...perhaps they can convince a bunch of their U.S. "friends" to join them. Not necessarily a bad thing.
OMG you just made me spew on the computer. HILARIOUS !
Queer Isle for the Strange Guy.
"Damned" is damn right!
Makes me want to puke.
Ummm. How are they going to procreate?
I guess they'll die out?
Don't know, but they'll sure have a lot of Rear Admirals.
I was think more alnong the lines of Homolia.
i.e. fraudulent.
You are probably right. That is a sick picture.
What's the point? In 2 or 3 generations they will have zero population.
Where did they obtain the "dirt"?
They should have found a deserted island somewhere. Instead they are taking land from another nation.
Can we start sending them all there?
