Taiwanese tech giant Asus is touting the benefits of its new ZenFone with an ad that could bring hope to the gay corner of a hopeless love triangle.

The viral video sees a young man encouraging his friend to pursue a girl. The three amigos seem to be happy, but our Romeo discovers his best pal has collected photos of them together—and edited out the girl. Shocked at first, the boy ends up looking into the eye of his friend somewhat romantically.

"A Korean love song then starts playing and the tagline ‘Delete the dispensable John Doe in your life" appears," reports Gay Star News.

Hmm, is it romantic or stalker-y? Maybe there's something lost in translation.

The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) has enacted a new non-discriminatory policy favoring people in monogamous relationships, regardless of their sexual orientation.

According to the new guidelines, prospective donors with new sex partners must wait six months to donate—and volunteers with multiple partners will banned altogether—regardless of their orientation or gender.

“It took us a while because we didn’t have local facts that warranted changing our policy, although we knew South Africa was different from other countries in terms of risk of HIV,” SANBS  Vanessa Raju told Mamba Online. “This policy would apply to me, for example, who’s just started dating someone new. But people who are in monogamous male same-sex relationships [for more than six months] can now donate.”

In a study published this month in Plos One by political scientist Patrick A. Stewart of the University of Arkansas, dozens of respondents were asked about their political and social views in either an odorless room or a foul-smelling one. (For the rancid room, researchers sprinkled drops of butyric acid—the chemical that gives vomit its odor—on cotton balls.)

Participants stuck in the stinky salon were much less accepting of same-sex relationships and held rather conservative views on premarital sex, pornography and abortion. Researchers theorize that “exposure to a disgusting odorant caused increased feelings of disgust, which in turn activated the harm avoidance system and motivated a desire for [cleanliness].”

Peruvian Congressman Carlos Bruce came out of the closet in an interview with El Comercio this weekend, saying, “Yes, I am gay and I am proud to belong to this group of people who are so valuable to Perú."

Bruce, a member of the centrist Possible Perú Alliance representing Lima,  is sponsoring a civil-unions measure in the legislature.

While Bruce's two grown sons have supported their father's decision,  Archbishop Juan Luís Cipriani of Lima has been vocal against the measure. Cipriani “He does not respond with ideas, only with personal attacks,” Bruce told El Comercio. “He should be more tolerant. There are leaders from the evangelical church who support the bill.”
