Homophobia !!!

Homophobia is the hatred or fear of homosexuals - that is, lesbians and gay men - sometimes leading to acts of violence and expressions of hostility. Homophobia is not confined to any one segment of society, and can be found in people from all walks of life. Organized hate groups have viciously attacked homosexuals and have used especially violent language in attempting to persecute and intimidate them.

Discrimination against homosexuals comes in many forms. At times homophobic beliefs lead people toward prejudiced actions at work, at schools, at clubs and in many other areas as well. Prejudiced views directed at homosexuals often stem from the perception that homosexual activity is immoral. Homophobia makes some people think that they are superior to homosexuals. In fact, studies show that anti-gay bias is far more accepted among large numbers of Americans than is bias against other minorities.
Many researchers claim that homosexuals still find themselves the target of bias within institutions like churches and professional organizations. Many church and religious groups maintain that homosexual behavior is a sin and runs counter to the will of God as expressed in certain Biblical passages. Up until 1980, many psychiatrists still looked upon homosexuality as a mental disorder. Today, medical professionals believe that homosexuality is not an illness, mental disorder or emotional problem.
Homophobia is most dangerous when it serves as the justification for violent action against homosexuals. In recent years attacks on homosexuals have risen. While the violent crime rate in many areas continues to drop, anti-gay crime is moving in the other direction. What is most disturbing is the cruelty and viciousness of many of these attacks.

The severity of many of these crimes helps to show the strong hatred that homophobia can create.
Many conservative religious leaders have, at some point, spoken out against the gay community and warned of the danger they supposedly pose to America. 700 Club television host Pat Robertson said that, "Many of those people involved in Adolf Hitler were Satanists, many of them were homosexuals - the two things seem to go together." Former Congressman William Dannemeyer also compared homosexuals to Nazis when he wrote that "the homosexual blitzkrieg has been better planned than Hitler's…" Clearly, it is ridiculous to compare homosexuals in America to Germany's Nazi government which believed in warfare and mass murder as a means for taking over the world.

Apart from these views, many violent extremist groups also hold homophobic beliefs. The neo-Nazi National Alliance has allegedly been involved in anti-gay violence, while racist skinheads around the country have attacked and beaten homosexuals.

High-risk sexual pleasures

Carmen Milagros Díaz, El Vocero
 
There are people looking for sexual pleasure resort to practices that can be harmful to health and endanger your life, such as putting foreign objects in your body. In the emergency rooms of hospitals in the country abound these cases, but the mystical drama can be seen in the Rio Piedras Medical Center, where they refer patients with more complications.
An interview with Dr. Ernesto Torres, director of the Medical Center, and with Paul Rodriguez, director of the Trauma Center, highlights some of these practices can be very dangerous and have serious consequences.
One of the most unusual was a man about 75 years of age who introduced cassava into your anus. To create a smoother surface to facilitate its entrance, wrapped in a plastic grocery bag as a condom. Boldness was complicated when the bowel completely sucked vegetables, about 15 inches long. When the man arrived at the emergency room, doctors in disbelief, they saw that the man's protruding belly and could feel the object. The director of the Trauma Center said doctors tried to remove the object, but it was impossible because he had gone too and there was no way to hold it.
"We had to open the abdomen, remove the small and open to close it again," the surgeon said Rodriguez. Surgery is known as colotomía, which the patient is exposed when it is not possible to remove the foreign body through the anus. It can last from 30 minutes to 45, in the worst case. Other times it may sink in the area of ​​the lower abdomen to push the object, said for his part, Dr. Torres.
Most cases that go to the emergency room medical center are young men between 20 to 30-ns. It is common for items such as deodorant experiment with round tip and vibrators. In some cases, foreign wives accompany the situation. Even if you know what happens take them to the doctor and spend their shame with them.
"Now I understand why it was so cassava in the room. Here (in hospital) I'm going to leave, "recalled Dr. Rodriguez, who said the wife of the older patients.
That women are not in the emergency room does not mean they do not resort to this practice, what happens is that the female sexual organ is a muscle that is growing, said Dr. Torres, who does know of cases where women have lacerated his private parts. His colleague, Rodriguez, acknowledged he has heard about women having sex with dogs and horses, but that's bestiality, he said.
The saddest case he lived the Director of Medical Center was that of a teenager who arrived with a high fever that would not budge. The doctors did tests of rigor, except anal and vaginal, acceding to the request of parents based on their religious fervor and assurance that the girl about 16 years was a virgin.
"We gave a battery of tests and antibiotics, and days passed and the fever did not go down, until one day the nurse told me 'doctor I can not, I'm going to vomit." It was the plague that had he could not enter the room, "Torres told the doctor moved.It was learned that the girl had used a banana to get high, but it broke and fell into her vagina. By shame and avoid disappointing his parents did not. His fear cost him dearly. Had to have a hysterectomy. Having their reproductive organs removed at an early age took away the possibility of becoming a mother, but his life was saved."I told the father and mother that hysterectomy did not mean he would save his life. He was already septic, "he said in reference to the condition that occurs when blood is poisoned. "But it was saved."
They also recalled the strange case of a woman who had introduced the custom of colored markers known as 'Sharpie' through the urethra, the pathway through which urine. The doctors could not understand what kind of pleasure could generate.
Learn the lesson after a big scare in a hospital is what is meant to be happen. Some people need to repeat the mistake to let his memory engraved in danger. A man was about to develop gangrene and amputated his penis after introduction of the body inside the ring of a tool used by plumbers. The technique was introduced when he was limp.
"When I was, becoming erect and the ring so tight and that's what gives you pleasure," said Dr. Rodriguez. For that occasion, had to call rescue personnel with specialized equipment that cut the tool stuck in the male member was already purple.As Director of Trauma for 11 years, spoke as a professional ; patients who arrived at the hospital stating that fell on a stake. However, arriving without the piece of wood and screen the perforations. You usually have to repair the intestine.
On the other hand, when conducted in the Eastern Region of the country, Torres saw a patient over 50 who said that a fish had entered her anus. Taking as true the information, Dr. Torres thought that what had felt in the medical examination was the tail.
No one thought the man had made two small glass bottles that had been taped. The bottles were attached to each bottom bottom, and one had on its cover a piece of wood and rope where the pulled, but the intestine completely sucked. What was the doctor touched the rope.
