V-NECK T-SHIRTS A SIGN OF BEING GAY, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION

imageANAHEIM, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – At its annual national convention last year, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) officially classified the taking of ‘selfies’ as a mental disorder, calling it ‘selfitis,’ or the inflammation of the ego.

This week, APA is holding its 2015 convention at a famed Disneyland resort in Anaheim, and is expected to announce the results of a major study on homosexuality, particularly among gay men.

The Adobo Chronicles was able to get hold of an embargoed copy of the study scheduled to be released this Friday.

The groundbreaking study concludes that one of the telltale signs of being gay is owning and wearing v-neck t-shirts. V-neck t-shirts are the closest thing to low-cleavage shirts and dresses worn by women, the study pointed out.

Highlights of the APA findings include:

  • The lower the cut of the neckline, the more open and outgoing the gay man is.
  • White or black v-necks are usually worn by gay men who are mostly still in the closet.
  • Loud or bright-colored v-necks are an indication of gay radicalism.
  • Sleeveless v-neck, regardless of color, is a cautionary sign that the gay man has inner, deep secrets.

The APA study seems to give credence to recent guidelines issued by the Teachers Foundation of Malaysia advising parents on how to detect whether or not their son is gay, not the least of which is the wearing of v-necks.

TOP TEN REASONS GAY MARRIAGE WILL NEVER BE LEGAL IN THE PHILIPPINES

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – A young Filipino  lawyer — named Jesus —  has asked the Philippine Supreme Court (SC) to lift same-sex marriage prohibitions in the country’s almost 3-decade-old Family Code.

Jesus Nicardo Falcis, who identified himself as openly gay in his May 18 petition, argued that limiting civil marriages and the rights that go with such unions to heterosexuals violate the constitutionally guaranteed protection for equal treatment, undue interference to liberty rights, and marital autonomy.

Ireland — a Catholic country like the Philippines — just became the first in the world to legalize gay marriage by popular vote.  Will the Philippines be next? Unlikely.

Here are the top ten reasons gay marriage will never be legal in the Philippines:

  1. It’s in the books, but in actuality, there is no such thing as ‘Separation of Church and State’
  2. Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines ( CBCP)
  3. Senator Tito Sotto
  4. Congressman Manny Pacquiao

BREAKING: JUSTICE KENNEDY WILL RECUSE HIMSELF FROM SUPREME COURT VOTE ON GAY MARRIAGE

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – Citing a major conflict of interest, Justice Anthony Kennedy said today that he will be recusing himself from further deliberations and the eventual vote by the Supreme Court as it prepares to issue a landmark decision on gay marriage in the United States.

The Supreme Court is expected to rule on several cases brought before it to settle once and for all the issue of whether or not the ban on gay marriage is constitutional. Some 37 U.S. states already allow gay marriage.

Kennedy made the announcement after hearing the news that Ireland has become the first country in the world to allow gay marriage through the people’s vote.  The Irish referendum concluded with an overwhelming majority voting to legalize same-sex marriage in this Catholic European country.

Kennedy, a Catholic, is of Irish descent.  Given the overwhelming historic vote by his fellow Irish, he considers it a major conflict of interest for him.

So for any decision to strike or uphold the federal ban on gay marriage in the U.S., the Supreme Court justices must vote 5-3, considering Kennedy’s decision to abstain. A split decision (4-4) effectively upholds the ruling of the lower court, handing victory to four states defending their gay marriage ban before the high court: Michigan, Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky.
