Politically Incorrect Gay Pride March in Sweden Today

Anti-immigration groups organized a gay pride match through Swedish neighborhoods that are over 70% Moslem today.  Reportedly gay pride marches that normally go through neighborhoods that are only 30% Moslem in urban areas are sometimes pelted with rocks.

Today’s march was reportedly uneventful.

John Hospers anniversary for gay pride month – first gay candidate to receive an Electoral College vote

John Hospers, an academic philosopher and author on aesthetics, was the first Libertarian Party candidate for president in 1972.

Though the Libertarians were on very few ballots he received an Electoral College vote, becoming the first openly gay man (by 1972 standards anyway) to do so.  His running mate, Tonie Nathan, became the first Jewish American and the first woman to receive an Electoral College vote as well.

Black Pride

I don’t think many Libertarian groups have done outreach at Black Gay Pride events before.  Of course, lots of cities haven’t had Black Gay and Lesbian Pride events as long as they have had Gay Pride events.  But as the statist programs to “help” urban populations continue to produce poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, high drop out rates, despair, incarceration and criminal records for victimless crimes, failed, de facto segregated schools, high rents, homelessness, inflation, rationed medical care, disarmed victims of violent crime, etc. etc., libertarians ought to be reaching out and talking about their solutions.

This year in DC we should have booths at both Capitol Pride (generic gay pride) on June 6, and also at Black Pride on May 25.  D.C. metro Libertarians have had a booth at the generic gay pride event now for almost a decade.  But it will be our first year at Black Gay Pride.  Of course it’s also the first year we’ve run 8 candidates, including candidates of a variety of colors and nationalities.

If you want to have a libertarian presence at a gay pride event this year a handy calendar of them is on line and easy to find (or use this link.)

Here is a PDF for Black Pride events around the country, and here are the links for Atlanta, D.C., and Detroit.

I believe a few areas also have Hispanic and Native American gay pride events, among others.

Is Sperm the New Superfood?

That might sound unusual, but scientists recently discovered that it’s actually a pretty handy dietary supplement — it has as many nutrients as a protein shake.

And it’s not just nutritious …

Is Sperm the New Superfood?

What provides plenty of protein and minerals and is easy to come by wherever there are men? Why, semen, of course!

In fact, it’s a pretty handy dietary supplement for perpetuating the species: Imagine being pregnant in a time or place when resources are scarce — how could you provide nourishment in utero? A daily dose of seminal fluid saves the day!

It sounds strange, but that’s what scientists recently discovered a particular species of female squid is doing. The southern bottletail squid, found around the Spencer Gulf in South Australia, bulks up on male squid ejaculate. According to new research from Monash University in Australia, female squids swallow male semen as a means of delivering nutrients to aid in the growth of their unfertilized eggs.

But as it turns out, the practice undermines the male squid. He has limited semen and his biological mission is to reproduce, so any ejaculate that the female consumes is a lost mating opportunity. “If a male produces an ejaculate that isn’t able to successfully compete in the egg fertilization race, he is essentially an evolutionary dead end,” researcher Benjamin Wegener explained.

Hmmm… it seems consumption of semen is not only nutritious, it could be considered amethod of birth control in a sense. And, it’s free.

Speaking of nutritious: Did you know that the average human ejaculation (3.4 mL) contains approximately the same amount of protein as the white of an egg? It also has trace amounts of nutrients including zinc, calcium, potassium, and vitamin B12. According to the Huffington Post, it actually has as many nutrients as a protein shake! (Of course, there are minor variations among individual donors.)

In fact, the researchers above wonder if semen sampling may be a method of selecting one’s mate, and have more questions to explore. “Are females using males as a food source or as a means to assess the quality of her partners? Are males even capable of using this feeding behavior to manipulate female reproduction? Hopefully future discoveries will uncover the answers,” Wegener said.

In the meantime, we’re not suggesting that humans consume semen — it’s simply interesting to note that the substance is practically a superfood!
