  1. My understanding is that it has much to do with the British anti-sodomy laws that were left in place even after independence. Many former British colonies suffered from virulent homophobia, due in large part, activists say, to the legacy of those laws which are still on the books. For some reason, those particular laws really resonated in the former colonies and have taken on new meaning long after the formal end of colonialism. The phenomenon is not so different from the "one drop rule" of racial classification that the U.S. also inherited.

     

    More to the OP's question, I think Brazil offers a lot of what he's looking for.

     

    What I recall reading was that the one-drop rule was post reconstruction and the 1/8th law was pre-civil war. I just checked wikipedia which mentions the 1 drop rule being adopted in the south at the turn of the 20th century and a 1/4 rule was pre-civil war.

  2. There are lots of guys that advertise on planetromeo but I don't hear anything about them here or on MuscleService. Planetromeo has a guestbook feature, but the posts are always glowing making me think the advertiser can delete ones he doesn't like. Does anyone on this board live in Europe?
