New Uruguayan Erection
The first monument to sexual diversity in Latin America was unveiled recently in Montevideo, Uruguay; a triangular, rose-colored granite block inscribed with the words "Honoring Diversity is Honoring Life".
Activists applauded the new monument, though this rather unfortunate AP photo makes it look like a lonely object erected to confuse heterosexuals.

Who knew Urugay was so cool! There's a similar monument in Amsterdam to gay & lesbian holocaust victims . . . although it's much more tastefully designed.
