Women's News May 23, 2011 - UPDATE

One of the articles I linked to was about a lesbian woman from Syria and her blog, called A Gay Girl in Damascus.  As is often the way of the Internet, it's a fake.  The real blogger is 40, American, male, and lives in Scotland.  Personally, I'm really let down by this.  The man claims he was trying to raise awareness for the Middle East, but in the process he's hurt the LGBT community.  Now the next homosexual Middle East blogger will be treated with much more suspicion and people will wonder if it's really that bad over there.
