Doctor Leaves Male Patients Feeling “Dirty And Ashamed” After Inappropriate Check-Ups

“Steve” (not his real name) made an appointment to see Dr. Kelvin Thuc Minh Vo in Sydney, Australia after developing an ache in his back. What happened next, however, left him “scarred for life.”

According to the 18-year-old patient, Dr. Vo asked him a slew of inappropriate questions that were totally irrelevant to his current medical condition. The questions included whether the young man enjoyed watching pornography, if he liked “rough sex,” if he was sexually attracted to Asian men, and if he was a “giver” or “taker.”

In a follow-up visit, Steve claims Dr. Vo grabbed the young man’s crotch then propositioned him for sex. The incident, he says, left him feeling “dirty and ashamed” and led him to file an official report with the Health Care Complaint Commission.

A second alleged victim has also filed a report.

27-year-old “George” (also not his real name) claims Dr. Vo tried to perform oral sex on him during a visit in 2011. When the patient told the doctor to stop, Vo allegedly begged, “I’m prepared to give anything to you if you don’t tell anyone.”

This week, a tribunal determined that Vo had “exploited a relationship of trust with his young and vulnerable patient” and called for his medical license to be suspected for at least two years to maintain public confidence in doctors.

“We have found the practitioner to be untruthful, and can place no weight on his expressed remorse for his actions, other than his remorse for the consequences of those actions on him and his wife,” the tribunal said.

Politician Wants Tim Cook Banned From Russia, Says He Might Bring Ebola
An anti-gay Russian politician wants to ban Tim Cook from the country after the Apple CEO publicly came out as gay last week.

“What can he bring us? The Ebola virus, AIDS, gonorrhea? All of them over there have promiscuous relations. Ban him forever,” Vitaly Milonov, a St. Petersburg politician and anti-LGBT lawmaker, told the website FlashNord about barring Cook from Russia, according to a translation by The Huffington Post.

“This is how he increases sales. Apple has become a popular brand. He’s like an artist, who is initially making it as an artist, and then after announces that he is a pederast,” Milonov continued, using a word in Russian that pejoratively refers to homosexuals. “Now everyone knows, Apple is made by homos, and then everyone starts changing their mind. … This is a fine political move.”

Milonov’s comments should not come as a surprise to those familiar with his body of work. He co-authored St. Petersburg’s so-called “homosexual propaganda” legislation, which influenced the passage last year of a similar law on the national level which criminalizes the “propaganda of homosexuality among minors.”

In accordance with this law, a group of Russian companies called ZEFS removed a memorial to Steve Jobs from outside a St. Petersburg college on Friday. The iPhone-shaped monument was erected last year.

“In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law,” ZEFS said, per Reuters. “After Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly called for sodomy, the monument was taken down to abide to the Russian federal law protecting children from information promoting denial of traditional family values.”

Cook came out in an essay for Bloomberg Businessweek on Oct. 30, saying he is “proud to be gay.”

Men Dressed As Fairies Beat Up Gays In London

Some days, the news headlines make sense. And other days, you have to check and make sure it’s not The Onion.

Apparently, two men with pink tutus and fairy wings beat up two other men while shouting antigay slurs. Ooooookay.

The victims are 18 and 21, and we don’t know much about their conditions. One of them, Robbie Kingsford, had his post-hospitalization picture posted online by his father, showing some pretty terrible eye swelling and lots of contusions and scrapes to his face. He also appears to have some swelling around his mouth, which could mean lost teeth.

All that police have said about the attackers is that they were in a group with women, and possibly some other guys. Not a lot of details to go on.

If there can be a silver lining to any of this, it’s that passers-by intervened to stop the homophobic attack. At least it’s comforting to know that there are good people out there willing to step in.

If we had to guess what happened here, it’s that the two attackers were probably feeling uncomfortable about their Halloween costumes, and felt the need to lash out with homophobia. That’s just a guess, of course — we’re desperate to find some kind of explanation or reason behind this bizarre attack. We’ll be watching the news for more about this attack, just as we’re keeping an eye on that insane gay bashing in Philadelphia.

Our thoughts are with Robbie and the other victim. And our other thoughts are with the attackers, and go as follows: “what is wrong with you?”
