A male flight attendant has been sentenced to a year in jail after performing oral sex on a sleeping man.

Ryanair steward Iain Fisher, 23, was found guilty of sex assault—not on a plane but at a house  party in Ayrshire, Scotland, where the 22-year-old victim,  a heterosexual, had fallen asleep.

The Irish Mirror reports the victim had been plied with Jack Daniels.

Fisher's attorney stated his client initially thought the victim was consenting, but is now ashamed of his behavior. “The best explanation I can give is he got carried away.”

Marriage equality's string of 20-plus wins came to a screeching half today as U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman ruled that Louisiana's ban on gay marriage was constitutional.

In his verdict, Feldman rejected claims that the ban violated equal protection and due process.

Feldman, a Reagan appointee, also maintained that individual states have the right to define the institution of marriage—calling the debate on marriage equality one between the will of the people and "lifestyle choices."

"This national same-sex marriage struggle animates a clash between convictions regarding the value of state decisions reached by way of the democratic process as contrasted with personal, genuine, and sincere lifestyle choices recognition," he wrote.

Thomas Guerra, 29, has been charged with willfully exposing himself to another person with HIV, a misdemeanor with a maximum sentence of six months and $1,000 fine.

“I don’t even know who I was living with,” says Guerra's boyfriend, who had no idea his partner was positive, let alone infecting other men. “I don’t know who I had fallen in love with. There are many people who are being hurt and could potentially still be hurt. It needs to stop.”

The boyfriend, who's name is being kept confidential, says he was clued into Guerra's behavior by an ex on Facebook, and then found incriminating messages on Guerra's phone. “Texts where he’s stating he’s negative to people then bragging to others about giving people his ‘positive load.’ It’s crude, it’s… I don’t know how someone could treat another individual like that,” he said.

This therapy involves periodically administering HIV-specific antibodies to control the virus rather than the usual treatment of antiretroviral medications.

"It would be advantageous to control HIV without antiretroviral drugs because of their cost, the potential for cumulative toxicities from lifelong therapy and the difficulties some patients have adhering to drug regimens and tolerating certain drugs," the NIH stated in a press release.

Still, researchers advise, the effects of the antibodies on HIV in humans, and particularly on the virus particles that hide in immune cells, is still unknown."

Researchers in Europe examined the social-media usage of some 50,000 people, and measured their reported levels of happiness and self-esteem. According to their findings, people who use social networks are exposed to more offensive behaviors and hate speech.

“Tolerant users may easily find themselves interacting with unknown, racist or homophobic readers on a ‘public’ page," the study claimed.

Women and minorities, in particular, are at a higher risk of being targeted: “[Using Facebook] exposes individuals to the risk of worsening people’s trust in others and therefore people’s life satisfaction."

The report suggested social-media outlets improve their policing offensive behavior.

A British LGBT activist climbed the highest mountain in Europe to plant the rainbow flag and thumb his nose at Russia’s ant-gay laws.

Keith Tomlinson, 29, said climbed Mt. Elbrus in the Caucasus mountains near the Russian-Georgian border because he “wanted to do something cheeky” while raising money for Stonewall UK. “I am gay and I don’t care about your silly laws, I am me," he told The Argus.

Between 15 and 20 people die every year trying to scale Elbrus' 18,500-foot face, but Tomlinson knew he faced dangers beyond frostbite or a bad fall. “I hid the rainbow flag at the bottom of my sleeping bag just in case.”
