This story revolvs arouf the state lottery monopoly which insists that gay blog takes down its article on Superloto for the reason that they do not want to be associated with 'this sort of sites'

My regards,

I have asked the managers of this blog to remove my photo. I am sure this post was made in error and expect that they will correct it soon.

In solidarity,

Queers United said...: I apologize for anyone who may have thought that this was being attributed to Anne. I personally don't like the word "faulty" either as I believe Intersex is a natural variation of the sex and the human condition. I was just defining the word as I had seen it defined.; February 14, 2009 at 3:32 PM
