Mayor Bans Gays

(Sao Paulo, Brazil) The mayor of Bocaiuva do Sul has issued a decree that bans gays from living in the town in southern Brazil.
"I need to increase the population, by encouraging people to have kids, not with troublemakers," Elcio Berti told the newspaper Folha de S. Paulo.
The mayor, who claims to be in regular touch with aliens and says they are helping to fund a UFO landing pad he's building in the town, also announced last month that aliens were going to land during a Brazil v Peru football match.
