Nebraska Woman Files Lawsuit Against all the Gay Men in the World

A Nebraska woman identifying herself as the “ambassador” for plaintiffs “God and His Son, Jesus Christ,” is suing all homosexuals on Earth for breaking “religious and moral laws,” according to court records filed Tuesday.

In the suit, entered into the docket as Driskell v. Homosexuals, Sylvia Ann Driskell, 66, of Auburn, Nebraska, asks in a seven-page, neatly handwritten petition that U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard decide once and for all whether homosexuality is or isn’t a sin.
The suit doesn’t cite any case law under which a judge could make such a determination. In fact, it cites no court cases at all, quoting Webster’s Dictionary and numerous Bible verses, instead, to bolster Driskell’s central contention, which is:

“That homosexuality is a sin and that they the homosexuals know it is a sin to live a life of homosexuality. Why else would they have been hiding in the closet.”
Driskell writes, “I’m sixty six years old, and I never thought that I would see the day in which our Great Nation or Our Great State of Nebraska would become so compliant to the complicity of some peoples  lewd behavior.”

The suit was noticed by several gay activists and writers, including Dan Savage, the advice columnist, who said, “Man, I hope I get deposed!” and Steven Payne, a self-described “gay feller,” who wrote in The Daily Kos:
Brian (his husband) and I will be liquidating our assets in preparation for a certain loss. We anticipate the restitution ordered to this woman will take us down to our very last penny. In the meantime, our fear is so great we have ceased and desisted being homosexual.”
Driskell, who’s representing herself, didn’t answer a call for comment. The court noted dryly that, regarding to the defendants, “No summons [was] issued.”

Aina Onabolu: The Artist Who Challenged Colonial Assumptions

Long before Nigeria had formal art schools, Aina Onabolu (born in 1882) was already painting portraits with a level of realism that defied colonial stereotypes. A self-taught artist, he took on the widely held European belief that Africans lacked the skill to master “fine” or academic art. By the early 1900s, Onabolu was painting distinguished Nigerians—such as judges, doctors, and merchants—with remarkable technical detail. He later studied art formally in London and Paris, equipping himself with international credentials that helped ...
