Charles Saatchi encourages homophobic bullying on his website, and has done so for over two years, perhaps he should be awared the 2009 award. Check just a little of the bullying out, here :- www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/blogon/drupal/node/32943?page=2 This one blog alone highlights lots of human rights issues, and has been taken on by a LGTB organisation who are investigating it.

All of the top people, called numeraries, in Opus Dei are celebate -- are not sexually active at all. As you know, Catholic docterine encourages people to use their sexual energy in a way that serves others -- via the Sacrement of Martimony. Read about the teachings here: I think you will find this issue more complex that it initially appears!
