"I'm from a well-trained Christian home, so I can't braid my hair," he said.
That's a quote from a BBC news story (see link below). Isn't the world a strange place that some people can get so worked up about what other people look like ? I've long since given up trying to fathom out that way of thinking.
Live and let live...
(Stands back and waits for endless quotes from that bit of the Bible that everyone always seems to quote from....)

That is pretty stupid. Im sure it doesnt say that you cant braid your hair. Its a classic case of Religion clashing with Cultue.
On a side note, dont you think David Beckham had thee greatest hair ever seen in football (before he got is shaved)
How can they ever link men with long hair, or braids, as being a practise linked with homosexuality! Not only women have long hair! And so what, even if these people are gay, I don't see it has anything to do with the football officals. They should mind their own business, and keep out of people's personal affairs.
Oh yes, fascism is alive and well.
As always, such 'regulations' are about the political control of society, and that stands true for almost every country in the world. I have never, and will never understand why the powers that be have such an unreasoning fear of anyone who looks different to their self-prescribed norms.
Thanks for sharing.
