This is a f**king tragedy. I first learned about him in Grade 11 law class. The world needs more people like him.

The Boy Scouts of America has shut down a Seattle troop for its refusal to remove an openly gay Scoutmaster.

I was in the cub scouts/BSA from elementary all the way up from Eagle.  Its a little bit like the military during don't ask don't tell.  There were gay people inside the organization and as long as they didn't try to grab your cock and balls in the shower nobody really cared.  It is a private organization though and I don't think it should be forced to do anything.  I mean where does that end? 

If people don't like it isn't a mandatory thing that you have to attend. 

I'm pretty sure though that it will evolve in its own time to where in a couple of years it will see how backwards the philosophy is, especially when it already has plenty of gay members within its ranks.

Female insects with "penises" have been discovered in Brazil - the first example of an animal with sex-reversed genitalia, scientists say.

Neotrogla females insert the erectile organs into males' vagina-like openings.

The elaborate structure, dubbed a "gynosome", is used to suck out sperm and nutritious seminal fluids.

Copulation lasts an impressive 40-70 hours, the researchers report in Current Biology.

"Although sex-role reversal has been identified in several different animals, Neotrogla is the only example in which the intromittent organ is also reversed," said lead author Kazunori Yoshizawa from Hokkaido University in Japan.

The female is always on top during copulation - which lasts up to 70 hours

The gender-bending insects were found in a cave in eastern Brazil and represent four distinct species in the Neotrogla genus.

    "It will be important to unveil why, among many sex-role-reversed animals, only Neotrogla evolved the elaborated female penis"

Yoshitaka Kamimura Keio University, Japan

Once inside a male, the membranous part of the female gynosome inflates. It has numerous spines which anchor the two insects together.

When the researchers attempted to pull a male and female apart, the male's abdomen was ripped from the thorax without breaking the genital coupling.

The unusual role reversal may have been driven by the resource-poor cave environment in which the bugs live, the researchers speculate.

Copulation provides a female with food as well as sperm - so it is advantageous for her to mate at a higher rate, they note.

The curious insects offer new opportunities to test ideas about sexual selection, conflict between the sexes, and the evolution of novelty.

"It will be important to unveil why, among many sex-role-reversed animals, only Neotrogla evolved the elaborated female penis," said Yoshitaka Kamimura from Keio University in Japan.

Their first task, they say, is to establish a healthy population of the insects in the lab.

This is even weirder than the Hyena clitoris.

Oh, those whacky Japanese.

This is why I have a hard time taking the cops seriously, among other reasons.

Article was rather one sided and lacking details, which usually means it's a pump and dump page hoping to get views.

And that is why people have a hard time taking the media seriously. They equate "independent reporting" with the mainstream. Plus, a few cops act up and then we're to assume that all cops are that way? Imagine if we did this with ethnic or religious groups. Oh, wait a minute...

It's more than just a "few" cops. I don't have any solid stats but there seems to be more and more corrupt LEO's than ever before, at least in this beautiful country called the United States of America.

Stats, or STFU. Hell, skip the stats.

It likely isn't the whole force, but damned if these cops will actually be punished for their crimes.
