Advocate: A gay-porn actor is accused of stabbing a man to death, chopping up his body, and then mailing parts of his body across Canada.

Luka Rocco Magnotta is being investigated by Montreal police for sending a human foot to the headquarters of Canada’s Conservative Party, and a hand was intercepted by police on its way to the Liberal Party, according to the National Post.

CTV reports that a note sent with the foot claimed that six body parts had been sent in the mail. A foul-smelling torso was found in a suitcase behind an apartment building.

INTERPOL has issued an international warrant for Magnotta, reports the National Post, which has obtained a gruesome video of the crime in progress.

Here’s how the Post describes the video:

“The nearly 11-minute-long video purports to show Mr. Magnotta attacking a naked male, who is tied to a bed frame, with both an ice pick and a kitchen knife, according to the description.

“The victim is stabbed, has his throat slashed and is later decapitated and dismembered. The video, filmed in a dimly lit room, also shows the killer playing with his victim’s limbs and using one of them to masturbate. The attacker later performs a sex act on the corpse.

“The video was posted on Best Gore on May 25, but it is unclear when, or where, it was filmed, although police have confirmed Magnotta’ s Montreal apartment was a crime scene.”

UnicornBooty: While there may not be any openly gay players in the NFL, NBA, MLB, or NHL, Philadelphia Magazine would like to remind you that statistically, there are a whooooole bunch of homos up in those huddles.

PinkNews: An actress who portrayed the Teletubby Laa-Laa has said the children’s programme did not contain gay undertones.

The show came in for long-running controversy over suggestions it was promoting homosexuality to children. through the purple character of Tinky Winky.

Nikky Smedley, who portrayed Laa-Laa in the show from 1997, said: “When the show was explained to me, I thought it was a work of genius.

“I thought it will be massive. It came from a place of love and engagement for young children.

“It is fantastic that somewhere in the world a child will be looking at Laa-Laa and laughing.”

But of questions over Tinky Winky’s sexuality, she told the Birmingham Mail: “I think it’s embarrassing for the people who said it.

“What kind of person can take the obvious innocence and turn it into something else? We were hardly sexual beings.”

The late US preacher Jerry Falwell prompted a worldwide debate over the sexuality of Tinky Winky in 1999.

He claimed that Tinky Winky must be gay because he was purple and had a triangle on his head; symbols of gay pride. A bag the character carried also prompted questions, perceived as it was to be a women’s accessory. The BBC said: “Tinky Winky is simply a sweet, technological baby with a magic bag.”

In 2007, Polish politician Eva Sowinska said she would ask psychologists to investigate whether the purse-carrying character was gay and promoted homosexuality to children. Her office later dropped the issue.

Outsports: On his Washington DC-based radio show with Chad Dukes, LaVar Arrington discussed an NFL player coming out of the closet, in response to our article highlighting 12 NFL players who wouldn’t care. Arrington retweeted dozens of responseshe got, and he said that player would be held up as a “national hero”:

I know this, the first person that does it is going to be a hero. I know that. They may go through a lot of ridicule, they may go through a lot of different things, but this is one sport where you have not had a guy just outright while they were playing say look, this is what I am. I bet you he would turn out to be a national hero, if you ask me.
