A speech made by Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher that ushered in the U.K.'s first anti-gay laws in a century has gone viral following her death. 

Calling homosexuality the "plight of girls and boys’ that worried her the most, Thatcher explains what lead to one of the most homophobic periods in the U.K.'s history in the speech.

Well, at least London's gay community has something to celebrate this year for Pride.

While the official London Pride events have evaporated before their queer eyes for financial, political and other reasons stemming from mis-management, British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has given the LGBT something tangible (and historic) to grasp onto: a rainbow flag raised above a government building for the first time in the city's history.

As sexually charged as the U.S. and its pop-culture are accused of being, Americans don't even place on a top-ten list ranking the world's most sexually-active countries. It's the only time we haven't lived up to our reputations in the sack!

So, then, which countries are getting it on more than we do in America?

Florence + The Machine is having a big moment. With the impossibly gorgeous Ceremonials a No. 1 album in most of the world and on constant repeat in the Instinct offices, there was no reason for our favorite fiery Welsh songstress and her misfit band of supertalents to avoid large-scale grandeur in the second music video to come from the release, "No Light, No Light."

It's Monday a.m., we painted the town pink last night and may or may not look like death ourselves this morning, but what Lady Gaga donned during a performance of "Marry The Night" on the U.K.'s X-Factor makes our bloated faces look rosy and downright cherub-like.
