Confessions of A Closet Queen

On the wake of Republican Senator Craig’s embarrasing debacle in a men’s washroom in Minneapolis, we found this great funny video on YouTube that mirrors the Senator’s problem. I’m thinking he should have used the same speech writer.

BAUCHI, Nigeria (Reuters) – Eighteen Nigerian men accused of dressing up as women during a party at a hotel went on trial Tuesday before an Islamic sharia court in the northern state of Bauchi.

Dozens of residents shouted abuse and hurled stones at the men as they were escorted into an armored prison vehicle after the hearing, prompting police to fire tear-gas at the crowd.

The men, mostly in their 20s, were arrested in a Bauchi hotel on August 4. Police say they were dressed as women, which is illegal under the state’s sharia penal code.

The offence is punishable by up to a year in prison and 20 lashes by cane.

The accused, who tried to hide their faces as they were jeered on their way in and out of court, deny the charge. One of them told Reuters they went to the hotel for a graduation party.

Muhammad Bununu of the Hisbah Commission, a body charged with enforcing sharia law in the state, told reporters the accused were “addressing each other as women and dressing themselves as women.”

“They said they went to the hotel to witness a wedding between a male and a male,” he said.

The police brought handbags and suitcases containing women’s high-heel shoes and clothing to the court as evidence.

The 18 are not formally charged with homosexuality, which is illegal in Nigeria and considered immoral by the vast majority of people, both Muslims and Christians.

Nigerian media had originally reported that the 18 men arrested in Bauchi were charged with sodomy and facing death by stoning, raising concerns among human rights groups who sent observers to Tuesday’s hearings.

BEIJING (Reuters) – Not content with banning “vulgar” reality TV shows, China’s culture guardians have added transsexuals and plastic surgery patients to the burgeoning hit-list of proscribed content on the country’s airways.

China’s broadcasting watchdog, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), has outlawed shows featuring “public participation” in sex-change operations and plastic surgery.

“All levels of television broadcasters must not plan or produce sex change or plastic surgery programs involving public participation (including news, specials or interviews), effective immediately,” SARFT said in a notice posted on its Web site Friday.

“(Such programs) currently being screened or in production must stop at once,” it added.

The order follows the axing of controversial “Beautiful Makeover,” a reality show produced by a TV station in China’s southern province of Guangdong, showing scenes of plastic surgery operations.

China’s broadcast watchdog has moved to crack down on the country’s increasingly freewheeling TV broadcasters, urging them to imbue “socialist” values in their programming, instead of using “vulgarity” and “weirdness” in the pursuit of ratings.

Last week, SARFT pulled Chongqing TV’s popular talent show “The First Heartthrob” from the air-waves, citing vulgar content among a raft of other transgressions.

“Happy Boys Voice,” China’s male-only take-off of U.S. talent show “American Idol,” cut scenes involving contestants in tears, with wild hair or singing “unhealthy” songs in its first season to comply with the watchdog’s demands.
