Zanzibar Outlaws Homosexuality
Here's a vacation idea for Rick Santorum:
Zanzibar's parliament unanimously passed a bill late
on Tuesday to outlaw homosexuality, with jail terms of up to 25 years
for gay relationships.
It will have to be approved by President Amani Karume to become law,
but a close aide to Karume said the president would assent to the bill.
"There is great concern for the erosion of moral standards in
Zanzibar," the aide said.

Not that it's the least bit relevant, but guess who's Zanzibar's most famous progeny:
Freddie Mercury (b. Farrokh Bulsara on September 5th 1946 in Zanzibar)
