The Emirates attendant quickly called over police officers, who investigated the matter. Upon questioning, the man apologized, according to a spokeswoman for the Australian Federal Police. "The airline employee requested an apology, which the passenger then provided. The AFP considers this matter finalized."

“I've dealt with enough of these morons in my life that I am not affected by it," says Clifton. "But I am really annoyed that she used a boring off-white. I would have much preferred fluorescent green.”

Father Alexander Shumsky wrote in The Russian People's Line that players “wearing pink or blue shoes might as well wear women’s panties or a bra.”

Shumsky thinks its all part of a liberal plan to oppose Christianity with football, which makes it a good  thing Russia bombed out of the World Cup in the first round. "I am glad that the Russian players have failed and, by the grace of God, no longer participate in this homosexual abomination.”

Sure you are, Father.

Wizards of the Coast, publishers of the classic Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game, released new "basic rules" last week for the upcoming fifth edition of D&D, including guidelines for creating characters that don't adhere to stereotypical sexual orientations or binary gender identities.

"The rules more or less encourage players to experiment with their ideas of their assigned race’s gender roles and with the concept of gender itself," writes The Mary Sue. "And even bring up the idea that choosing not to identify with a singular binary gender means that you might be “made in the image” of an Elven god."
