 roadNorth Dakota House rejects legislation (54-34) banning discrimination in housing, employment and credit based on a person's sexual orientation: "Rep. Corey Mock, D-Grand Forks, one of the six sponsors of the bill,
noted that 20 other states already have laws barring discrimination
against gays and lesbians. In those places, he said, the laws do not
grant special rights, privileges or legal immunity for sexual deviants,
as some bill opponents have claimed would happen here. 'There
is not a person in this chamber that is not related to or friends with
someone that would be affected by Senate Bill 2278,' he said. 'That
means people we know and love may be evicted, denied services or
terminated because they are gay, straight, bisexual or transgendered
with no regard or consideration of merit.'"

 roadHelp: Censorship in focus in Lebanon as a film is banned just days before scheduled release. "In Lebanon, a censoring body of security officers influenced by the
Muslim and Christian clergies continues to review all plays and films
before they are shown, cutting all scenes that might 'offend public
morals.' Although the contentious sex scenes in 'Help' are far
from explicit, the film features a threesome of a woman and two men.
That may explain the controversy: Homosexual acts are illegal in
Lebanon."
