Flash - Egypt jails 11 men accused of homosexuality - France 24

The linked article has a very informative map showing where being homosexual is illegal or illegal with death sentence. Some of those countries are where some liberal celebrities perform or visit on some trip. But they won't go to certain states here in USA.

How dare you call out our beloved entertainers for their hypocrisy! Why don't you call out our government as well, since they send billions to those countries as well.

Gah, you're such a bigot.

What surprised me about the map was the location of non-Islamic countries that make being gay illegal, a few are popular tourist spots on our side of the world.

Being gay and committing homosexual conducts are two different things, though related.

Being attracted to children is not illegal, for instance.

Maybe the liberal celebrities have greater concern when things happen at home? Ever consider that?

If a mother sees someone else's children being obnoxious she probably won't say anything. But if she sees her kids doing the same, she would put down the hammer.

Think about that.

and, this is about going backwards and implementing laws which discriminate. creating a problem where none existed before. AKA: BIG GOVERNMENT. Something conservatives claim to oppose, but actually love it when it serves their bigotry.

I would buy that if entertainers didn't perform in those countries due to those very reasons. But in reality, it's all about money and when it comes to the US, they hope they have enough sway to weigh in on political issues by boycotting events/states/etc... They call it a form of activism, i call it hypocrisy.
