A new study by researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice is showing that there's no evidence that gay priests are more likely than heterosexual clergy to molest children. The full report won't be completed until the end of next year, but so far researchers have found no evidence suggesting otherwise.
Keep in mind that the study is distinguishing between sexual identity and sexual behavior, suggesting that we "look at who the offender had access to when seeking victims". Whatever the case may be, what do you think of the study?

There's been some updates on the Levi Johnston Playgirl shoot and it's got us a little excited. In fact, I haven't felt this kind of anticipation since the last pointless political scandal turned nude photo-shoot. If you don't know what I'm talking about click the link...
Tank Jones, Levi's manager, said, "The shoot was fantastic! We're having a lot of fun with it." He also divulged a little on what we'll see, "People are going to see more of Levi than they thought...There was a hockey stick involved."
A hockey stick you say? I give him a year before that hockey stick is up his ass for the right amount... just sayin'.

The always infamous Ted Haggard is back with a new interview and an interesting take on his feelings toward the gay community. Even though he insists he is just a "heterosexual with issues", his ordeal gave him a more compassionate view . Though I'm sure he still just wants to make us all straight and thinks we're going to burn in hell. Oh well.. take what you can get.
He said of his experience:
"And unfortunately, it was about the most socially unacceptable type of thing that you can have. But, it was good for me as a heterosexual evangelical Christian, father of five, 30-year husband of Gayle. It was good for me to go through the Christian hatred of people believing that I was a gay man -- and hating me so strongly because of it. And so because of it, my compassion for the homosexual community has gone up incredibly."
This guy obviously has a lot of issues to work out. What do you guys think?

By now, you've probably already heard about "Balloon Boy", the six year-old child who was thought to have floated off on a saucer-like balloon. You've also probably heard that they found him in the family's attic. But have you seen the video where the so-called Balloon Boy tells his parents, "You guys said that we did this for the show"?
The same Americans who were previously worried sick for this boy's life are now shouting, "Hoax! Hoax!" Among all the controversy, the father continues to claim that it wasn't a hoax, insisting that his son misinterpreted the reporter's question.
Perhaps I have no heart, but I still don't get why any of this is news in the first place. After they found the kid in the attic, this story should have been dead. While I have my fingers crossed that this is the news-channel equivalent of a twenty-four hour virus, I highly doubt this family will let it die that quickly. I mean, you've also probably heard that they were on Wife Swap. Twice.
UPDATE: So much for this not being a hoax. If you're going to lie, why the hell would you make a home movie that proves you're lying?

At a British boys grammar school the students got quite a shock when a link showing their hunky young PE teacher posing for a gay porn site was passed around. When teacher Sam Handley came in that day, he was unaware that most of the student body had seen his hard dick in all it's glory online.
But it wasn't long until he was made aware and Harvey Grammar School officials expelled him because of it. The Sun reports:
"In one snap he reclines naked on a bed with his legs apart. In another he titillates men who flock to the site - which also features hardcore gay porn - by grabbing his manhood through his boxer shorts. One pupil said: 'I got sent the link on my Facebook site.'"
Well, let that be a lesson, if you do porn in the age of the internet, someone you know will likely find out. I'm not saying he shouldn't have done it, because he's pretty damn hot!
Let's just say that I wouldn't mind having Mr. Handley teach me a thing or two...

British tabloid The Sun ran an article about a 12-year-old boy who is already in the process of becoming a girl. Much of the controversy surrounds the school's handling of the issue and fears for the student's safety but I was also struck by the young age.
The student left the school year as a boy and returned in the fall as a girl, with long hair and a new name. It's not shocking that the students were a little surprised. The school called an assembly and told the students about the situation and even accommodated the student with a separate bathroom. But they did forget to tell the parents.
One parent told The Sun, "They behaved appallingly by throwing this hand grenade into the room and then leaving the inevitable questions about it for unprepared parents. Maybe we could have explained sexual politics and encouraged our kids to be more sensitive if we'd had a chance to be involved."
I think that's reasonable. But what do you guys think of the larger issue, is 12 too young for a sex change operation?
