So much going on over the weekend!

- A 127 foot-tall pink condom-shaped balloon floated over the Dutch city of Lichtenvoorde over the weekend, with the words "safe sex" written on it (in Dutch). The city was hosting a motorcross/hard rock festival this weekend, with about 80,000 people expected to attend. The promotion was launched by the regional public health service.

- In Japan, Ms. Kanako Otsuji is in a dead heat to become the nation's first openly gay or lesbian member of parliament.

- After police arrested a gay couple for kissing in front of the Colosseum in Rome, an Italian gay-rights group stages a public kiss-in at the same location.

- Super-wealthy gay artist Charles Merrill burns a rare Koran valued at $60,000 in protest of Muslim views against homosexuality.
