Quick rant: Fox “News”

Fox “News” NYE special will include the Stars of Duck Dynasty tonight.  Seriously.  Nothing to say other than I am not surprised.

I really consider myself open-minded and I do realize that the major news channels are pretty much propaganda.  I truly make an effort to get my news from multiple sources and educate myself on a topic before I have an opinion.  I just don’t understand how Fox “News” is still on the air.  You talk to anyone who watches Fox “News” and they will say that the liberal media (i.e. MSNBC) is just as bad as Fox in “spinning”.  I agree that liberal media stations certainly have their own “spin” on things but I can’t get over the fact that Fox “News” promotes bigotry.  There is no getting around the fact that they employee sexist, homophobic and racist newscasters who share their horrible views everyday.  Say what you want about liberal media but I don’t see anyone on MSNBC screaming about there being a white santa, how gay marriage is ruining the world or how the bible should be the law.

Back to New Years Eve on Fox…just watch CNN with Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin.  HELLO!? I mean…that’s just normal.  Right?!
Kisses!

 

 

New book: “Maybe He’s Not Gay”

Image

Let me just say that I CAN’T with these people.  There.  Got that out.  I feel better.  Let’s move on.

Do you know who Linda Harvey is? I didn’t either until I read all about her lovely new book called “Maybe He’s Not Gay”.  She is essentially a bigot that hides behind her faith while she spews hate.  Very similar to most bigots.  I am really torn on this.  While I fully support free speech and think this lady should have the right to write this book, I think the book is quite damaging and harmful.  I think it’ll do damage to anyone that comes in contact with it.  It PAINS ME to think about the poor child who has a parent who would actually purchase this.  If anything, this book is proof that not everybody is fit to be a parent.  

Keeping it respectful and professional here for a moment.  Let’s just review a few things.

ALL CHILDREN NEED SUPPORT AND LOVE FROM THERE PARENTS to establish a positive sense of self.  There are thousands and thousands of studies that support this.  
-LGBT youth have the HIGHEST rates of suicide, anxiety and depression.  This is one of the SADDEST things I can think of.  We are not born to hate.  We are conditioned to by religion and society’s idea of what is “normal” (this ideology is based off what religion’s define as “normal”)
-I want us all to be very clear here.  If a parent has a child who thinks he or she is gay and that parent does ANYTHING but 100% support that child, it is a form of child abuse.  The sooner society recognizes that, the better off we will all be.

Back to crazy! Here is what Linda has to say about her book.

“”I’m gay.” As more and more young people announce this is their identity, it’s time to take a closer look. It’s a profound declaration, a new civil right (they are told) and it’s “who you are.” But there’s a problem. Are we sure this is the truth? Does this identity bring the promised liberation and the key to a whole new life? Does it lift the burden of secrecy – or begin a different kind of struggle?”<— Yes, it brings on a completely different kind of struggle because bigots like you are using religion as a weapon to hurt innocent people.  Go f*ck yourself you dumb c*nt.  And YES, it is a CIVIL right to be free and who we are.  Put the bible down for a second and better educate yourself.  Oh, I’m done being professional.  Forgot to give you a warning.

Here is Linda’s bio from her book.

About the author 
Linda Harvey is the president and founder of Mission America (www.missionamerica.com). She is an author, speaker and radio host who has reported on sexual identity politics for twenty years. Raised in a liberal home, Linda became a Christian and changed her mind and heart about some of the most volatile issues of our time. A former teacher who became an advertising executive, then head of a Christian pro-family group, Linda has been interviewed by media outlets from coast to coast. Since 2009, she has been the host of the Mission America radio show broadcast throughout Ohio. The author of numerous articles on homosexuality, youth culture and Christian faith issues, Linda has spoken to adult and youth audiences all over North America. She is also a wife and mother of two. <– Those poor kids.

Bigot and horrible person- Linda Harvey

 

Duck Dynasty Clock: “Heil Hitler.”

I am SO over the drama that is Duck Dynasty and will limit any mention of it going forward but this is too funny/good not to share. Someone found a Duck Dynasty clock in Walmart that seems to say ‘Heil Hitler.”.
I seriously doubt the makers of this clock would have it say this. Sadly, would anyone be surprised if it was real?

Pope Francis: Not a fan of the gays

This shouldn’t be too surprising.  Openly anti-gay Bishop Charles Scicluna says he met with Pope Francis and the pope was very much against gay couples adopting.  Pope Francis has been in the news a lot this year labeled as a “more liberal” pope.  Let’s be clear here. If you are not supporting equality you are against it.  There is no reward for being less of a bigot than others.

2013 was not a very gay friendly year for the Catholic Church.   There have been MANY anti-gay statements made by Bishops all over the world this year.  The highlight for me was when Bishop Thomas John Paprocki performed an EXORCISM on gay marriage in Illinois! The runner up for me this year was when Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan said Catholic Church was being “caricatured as being anti-gay”.  He wasn’t kidding.  That is the scary thing!

One more thing for us to all be clear on. The Pope runs the show at the Catholic Church.  He would silence his Bishops if he wanted to.  Pope Francis is 100% against equality.  Granted, he may be less public with his bigotry.

Hopefully the Catholic Church (and all other organized religions) will focus on more important and relevant things in 2014.  Things like preaching love, teaching people to be kind, preaching tolerance and most importantly, modernizing dated views on gender roles and the LGBT community.

Good for you Robin Roberts!

20131229-203816.jpg

Robin Roberts, anchor on Good Morning America has just come out on Facebook as gay! You go honey!!! Roberts is 53 and apparently had a long-term girlfriend. Here is her post on her Facebook fan page for the end-of-the-year message .

“I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.”

Yes hunty!! Good for you.

Side-note, President Obama chose Roberts to interview him when he came out in support of gay marriage.

Boy Scouts: Gay is ok

20131229-151613.jpg

The BSA (Boy Scouts of America) will begin accepting gay youth on 1/1/14. They are hoping this will go over smoothly without much attention. What the hell are they scared of? Rainbows won’t start shooting out of your ass if you aren’t a bigot…don’t worry. Other than some Churches cutting their sponsorships there hasn’t been much bad press for the BSA. The Catholic and and Mormon Church are still on board for now.

I anticipate some crazies will make a fuss out of this. Religious organizations, anti-gay organizations and some conservative groups. Ironically, the people that are always against pro-equality movements are the exact people who should be promoting it.

Here is what I have to say to the BSA. Good job. Took you WAY too long to make this happen but better late than never. Ignore anyone who is opposed to equality and remember that you shouldn’t want bigots supporting you.

It’s about time we let gay youth know they are loved, respected and that they have their place in society.

Gay couple kicked out of bar for being gay

Just read this story and had to comment. A gay couple was thrown out of a country-western bar in Texas for dancing together. Justin Meyer, 21, and James Douglas, 30, say the owner of Cactus Canyon in Victoria, Texas kicked them out for two-stepping together. The reason provided you ask? “Security Reasons”.

Here is what a bar spokesperson had to say, “It’s not acceptable for men to dance together in the type of business that we run.”. So basically they run a bigoted organization that promotes discrimination. Congratulations.

This is why the LGBT community needs federal rights and protection as a minority group.

Phil Robertson: Back on the air!

Phil Robertson will be back on Duck Dynasty shortly. He is no longer suspended on A&E. I think this is a good thing. The buzz surrounding this story will fizzle out soon and he will always be a bigot and spokesperson for people that we all wish would just go away. His career may or may not fizzle out and he may go work for an extremist organization like Westboro Baptist Church or Fox “News”…

Bottom line, this guy is an idiot and an embarrassment for this country.

That is all. Kisses!

Hey Queen, Pardon more gays!

As you know, computer science legend Alan Turing was just pardoned by the queen for his crime of being gay (official crime was “gross indecency”) in the 1950’s. Well…it turns out that there were around 50,000+ men that were prosecuted for being gay. British LGBT activist (and great person) Peter Tatchell is pushing the British government to pardon the rest of the men who were also convicted of the 19th-century law criminalizing being gay. The crazy thing is that there are 15,000 men who are still alive that were charged with that crime.

The government had previously and wrongly may I add, refused to pardon these men. But now the Queen has pardoned Turing so this has provided an additional (and much needed spotlight) on the topic.

Apparently, the first step for the pardon is a formal application of some sort. This is COMPLETE bull s*it. What kind of world do we live in where someone would have to apply for a pardon..for being gay?!!’ How is that even happening!?!

Hopefully people will do what is right and pardon all who experienced discrimination due to the dated and wrong anti-gay laws of the past.

Quick rant: People voting on gay rights

This is why we should NEVER let civilians vote on CIVIL rights.  

That is why the government is here.  To protect the citizens.  Not just take money, steal money, lie and all the other stupid things that they currently do.  PROTECT your TAX PAYING citizens.  By the way, the gays have some of the highest disposable income.  This makes us GREAT tax paying citizens that contribute MORE than the average person.

We should take a look at history.  What would happen if we let “the people” vote on civil rights for other minority groups?

Kisses and rainbows. That is all.

Count your blessings folks

Legend Alan Turing Pardoned (for being gay)

Way to go UK government! Well folks, Alan Turing has been pardoned for his HORRIBLE crime of being gay in the 1Way to go UK government! Well folks, Alan Turing has been pardoned for his HORRIBLE crime of being gay in 50’s. The pardon came from Queen Elizabeth the second. Turing is a true legend, leader and hero. He is known for multiple contributions to computer sciences but is best known for his work in cracking German codes during the Second World War. His code-breaking skills helped bring many Nazis to justice. Turing was openly gay and not ashamed of who he was. Truly ahead of this time. Unfortunately, homosexual acts were criminal in the UK at the time and he was convicted of “gross indecency” because of his relationship with another man. He was convicted in 1952 and accepted treatment of a chemical castration (estrogen injections to kill his sex drive). Turing committed suicide in 1954, shortly after his 1952 conviction.

Here is what British Prime Minister, David Cameron, said in a statement: “His action saved countless lives. He also left a remarkable national legacy through his substantial scientific achievements, often being referred to as the ‘father of modern computing.’ ”

Great reminder of how far we have come with civil rights and also a reminder that we have a long way to go as well.

Ohio getting closer to marriage equality!

Well this is just FABULOUS! A federal judge in Ohio is helping push the state towards marriage equality by stating that the state’s ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional in regards to death certificates.  DEATH CERTIFICATES?! How about a ban on same-sex marriage is just plain old CRAZY and unconstitutional but I’ll take what I can get!

Judge Timothy Black ruled Monday that Ohio must recognize unions of same-sex couples.  The ruling specifically addressed death-certificates due to a lawsuit filed by a gay couple but also addressed marriage equality.  This is great news as Black is challenging the marriage ban. 

This ruling came from a lawsuit filed by a few gay couples.  Each couple had one partner that was dying and the surviving partner wanted to be recognized as married (as they should be) on the death certificate.  

Here is what Black had to say on the matter, “Once you get married lawfully in one state, another state cannot summarily take your marriage away,”.

As a reminder, voters passed Ohio’s gay marriage ban in 2004.  SO CRAZY that people can vote on CIVIL rights.

Small town business support

So I am heading to a small town a few hours outside of Kalamazoo for Christmas and there is a small coffees shop that is gay owned. I plan on going to the coffee shop everyday while I am in town to show my support for the business and business owner.  

What can you do to support a local business that is pro-equality?

Suck it equality opponents!

This is fabulous.  You have to love it when idiots are reminded that they are idiots.  As you know, the ban on gay marriage was just struck down in Utah for being unconstitutional (DUH!).  As I mentioned in my last note on this (you can read that here), the Utah Attorney General (Brian Tarbet) and governor (Gary Herbert) was pushing HARD for an EMERGENCY STAY of the old bigoted law.

Great news folks.  On Sunday, the US 10th Circuit Court of Appeals denied Utah officials’ request for an emergency stay of the same-sex marriage ban.  Doesn’t equality just smell great?! I just don’t get these people who are STILL on the wrong side of history.  WAKE UP!! Gay marriage will not impact heterosexual marriage in any way!! If you are worried that it will, you are probably a closeted gay and want to get gay married yourself! BAM!

Here is what Gary Herbert the Governor of Utah had to say.  “I am very disappointed an activist federal judge is attempting to override the will of the people of Utah.  “I am working with my legal counsel and the acting attorney general to determine the best course to defend traditional marriage within the borders of Utah.”.  NEWSFLASH you idiot.  Utah is the polygamist capital of this country.  Please do not preach traditional marriage you dumb f*ck.

Are you excited about this?!?! Want to tell folks in power at Utah just how excited you are?! Click here to do that.

Fox “News” at It’s Finest: C*ck Sucking F*ggot is OK to say!!

You can’t make this up. Take a look at this clip to see the fine folks at Fox “News” pretty much saying it is ok to racist and homophobic comments. Check out the 1:45 mark, Geraldo Rivera starts saying how it is totally ok for Alec Baldwin to have said “C*ck sucking f*ggot” because that’s how people talked where he was from.

REALLY?! So it makes it ok to say the F word which is just as offensive as the N word because you are from a bad neighborhood?

You can’t make this stuff up folks. The close minded people just can’t seem to get out of their own ways.

This gives us hope! Heartwarming support for teacher who was fired for being gay

Mark Zmuda, the gay Vice Principal that was forced to resign or marrying his partner by the Catholic High School where he taught. More than 400 students came out to support Mr Z! There was even an online petition that gathered 12,000 signatures! This is truly heart warming to see that people can separate faith and bigotry. THEY DON’T HAVE TO GO TOGETHER!

The spokesperson for essentially said that firing a teacher for being gay is totally ok because all teachers sign a contract, which clearly states they must abide by the doctrine of the Catholic Church, which forbids same-sex marriage. You know what? I truly do believe that religious organizations should have the right to practice their faith and their beliefs. The issue is that the Church is picking and choosing which bits of the bible to take literally these days. Clearly we don’t see the Church asking parents to sell their daughters or telling people to have slaves…yet they seem to be fixated on the gays. Here is a quote from their spokesperson, Mike Paterson.

“He clearly understood, as a condition of his employment, that he would abide by church teachings and one of those teachings is they do not approve of this marriage,”. “He understood that under the Magisterium and teachings of the church, unless he adheres to that teaching he does not have a choice.”.

This seems to be a trend with Catholic schools. Check out a similar story here.

Preach love, not hate folks.  Let’s all be good people and do the right thing.

Secret Service hooker scandal

131114004201-secret-service-agent-story-top

File this under ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

So do you all remember the SCANDAL (great TV show BTW) last year with the secret service men banging a bunch of hookers? I sure do.  Back to the story.   So there was an “official investigation” to look into the matter.   Official investigation means that tax payers funded the study.  That’s fine.  No worries.  What was the study on you ask? Well they wanted to make sure that secret service agents weren’t going around sleeping with hookers all day long.  Great.  Fine.  How did they conduct this study? By asking a bunch of secret service men if they ever slept with hookers or if they knew of any of their colleagues who slept with hookers.  Ummmm…I am pretty sure that the men in the secret service will LIE ABOUT THIS!! It is like asking a bunch of cheaters if they are cheating on their partner.  People don’t admit this kind of thing.  ESPECIALLY IN THE SECRET SERVICE!! SECRET IS IN THEIR NAME!!  

Here is the official statement from the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general’s office.  “Although individual employees have engaged in misconduct or inappropriate behavior, we did not find evidence that misconduct is widespread in USSS”.

Holy shit people.  As a tax-payer, I am offended that this is how my money is being spent.  You are the SECRET SERVICE! Do you really need to conduct a study to find out what people are doing?! Use your SECRET SERVICE skills and find out.  And I am still not clear on how secret service men sleeping with hookers is a matter of national security.  Are these guys telling the hookers their secrets?!

Want to read more about the joke of a study? Here you go.

Same-sex marriage in Utah!

So this is interesting…

A federal judge struck down Utah’s shameful same-sex marriage ban today.  Utah is a pretty conservative state an the Mormon Church has a HUGE propaganda campaign running at all times attacking the LGBT community.  Because that is what people should do in Church.  Back to the topic at hand.  Same-sex marriage licenses are currently being distributed but the crazies have already started coming out in protest.  In-fact, the Utah Attorney General Brian Tarbet has actually requested an “Emergency Stay” of the homophobic/bigoted law (ban of same-sex marriage).  

Here is what the moron (probably a closet case) had to say, “The federal district court’s ruling that same-sex marriage is a fundamental right has never been established in any previous case in the 10th Circuit. The state is requesting an emergency stay pending the filing of an appeal.”

So let me get this right.  You let voters in Utah vote on CIVIL rights….and now you are saying that the court didn’t have the right to strike down a law that was discriminatory in nature?! Really?

So back to the 2004 when the anti-gay law was passed.  The crazies claimed that gay-marriage would somehow affect heterosexual marriage and the sanctity of marriage.  With all due respect Utah…please keep your comments to yourself on the sanctity of marriage.  

Anyhow.  This is not the end of this story but this is great progress for now and we LOVE progress 🙂

Congrats to the folks in Utah.  And for the record, I have done a good amount of work in Salt Lake City and there are a lot of very nice open minded “normal” people out there.  It is really too bad when you have crazies in power that give that state such a bad name.

Hate crime charges for stealing a baby Jesus

Listening to the news on a traffic filled drive to New Jersey today. Heard a story that a Church in Suffolk County, NY had some little statues stolen from their nativity scene. The people who stole the baby Jesus may face hate crime charges. Yikes. I’m not condoning stealing at all and think it’s really disrespectful to steal from any religious organization.

That said, what charges will the Church face for the millions of crimes committed against the LGBT community and so many others due to the hate that has been promoted by them?

Just sayin.

Quick rant

Asking someone to accept homophobia in any way is a form of a hate crime. Period end of story.

For example, today on CNN Chris Cuomo asked Methodist Church Pastor Frank Schaefer why he can’t join a church that is more accepting of the LGBT community. Mr. Schaefer was suspended by the church after officiating his son’s gay wedding and a brave man that is on the RIGHT side of history.

If you ask someone to accept bigotry of any kind for any reason, you are comity on a hate crime. That is how serious it is.

That is all for now.
Kisses!

Good for you Brian Boitano!

Brian Boitano

Brian Boitano FINALLY comes out 🙂 Guuurl. So this is fabulous news for several reasons.  Obviously, it is always great news when someone comes out.  There is strength in numbers folks.  A simple but very true concept.  The other exciting thing here is that this makes him the third openly gay athlete appointed by President Obama as a delegate for the winter Olympics in Russia.  

Here is what BOItano had to say to The Huffington Post.  “It is my desire to be defined by my achievements and my contributions,”.  “While I am proud to play a public role in representing the American Olympic Delegation as a former Olympic athlete, I have always reserved my private life for my family and friends and will continue to do so.”

“I am many things: a son, a brother, and uncle, a friend, an athlete, a cook, an author, and being gay is just one part of who I am,”.  “First and foremost I am an American athlete and I am proud to live in a country that encourages diversity, openness and tolerance. As an athlete, I hope we can remain focused on the Olympic spirit which celebrates achievement in sport by peoples of all nations.”

YES HUNTY!! YES!!!

Moron, Phil Robertson

So do you know Phil Robertson is? Yea, we didn’t either until the moron decided to show his ass and let the world know just how ignorant and stupid he is in a recent interview with GQ Magazine.  Phil is an actor on the A&E show “Duck Dynasty”…don’t worry, we didn’t know about that either.  Well here is what the actor had to say to GQ Magazine about the gays.

“It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus,”.  “That’s just me. I’m just thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”

“Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong.  Sin becomes fine.”  “Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men. Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”.

1.  If you believe there is a “kingdom of God” that is totally fine but I highly doubt God would want ignorant, hateful and stupid people like you in his or her kingdom.  Side-note, God is a black female.  That’s what I believe!

2.  I really hate to keep circling back to religion but it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find an ignorant quote like this without the idiot’s quoting the bible or their made-up story book of choice.  Let’s all take note of where the hatred and evil is coming from.  Man is not born to hate.  We are brainwashed/conditioned to do so.  Sadly, it is by the very people that should be doing good in the world.

NEXT!

So America’s dimwit sweetheart AKA Sarah Palin has also weighed in on this.  Why thank you Sarah.  We REALLY want to know what your opinions are.  Shit for brains.  SHE says that our friend Phil is prosecuted for practicing his first amendment right.  Ok.  So if he were to go on an interview and say that all Jews should burn in an over, would that be ok too then? You moron.  What he said is a form of a hate-crime.  Period end of story.  

Get enrolled!

At http://www.healthcare.gov of course.

Well…someone figured out how to get the gays to enroll for insurance…Out2Enroll is a group that is working on raising awareness of the botched healthcare.gov site for the LGBT community.  They teamed up with Conor Gaughan for this festive video.

Cool stuff.  Check it out.

This is crazy

So The Advocate just named Pope Francis as the person of the year.  Totally get that he is less of a homophobe that prior popes but this is a bit insulting to the community.  He hasn’t said anything pro equality other than “who am I to judge”.  Hmmm…PR stunt maybe? Bad move.

Billie Jean King, the tennis legend and President Obama

President Obama has delivered a very clear message to Russia for the upcoming winter olympics.  As you probably have read, Russia has come under fire for their extremely anti-gay laws.   President Obama announced his delegates for the winter olympics and 2 of them are openly gay lesbians! 

Billie Jean King is a tennis legend and Caitlin Cahow is an Olympic medalist in women’s ice hockey.  The icing on this cake is that the President, First Lady and VP will NOT attend the winter olympics in Russia.  This is the first time that a President, VP or first lady is not attending the olympics since 2000.  

 Good for you Mr. President! Well done.

Just amazing. GaGa and Xtina

All the gays let out a loud gay gasp at the same time…

More white santa BS

It is completely hysterical and not surprising to hear just how ignorant some folks can be.  I just wrote about the ignorant and embarrassing comments of Megyn Kelly and posted that great clip of Jon Stewart.  Now it seems that some redneck idiot teacher in New Mexico told a his student that he couldn’t dress up as Santa because he isn’t white.  SERIOUSLY?!? SERIOUSLY?! The school is Cleveland High School and the student was a freshman.

Kim Vesely who is the director of Rio Rancho Public Schools, released the following statement:

“This situation involves a teacher recently hired by Cleveland High who made — and admits he made — a stupid mistake,”. “The remark was inappropriate and should not have been made. The teacher feels very badly about what occurred. He self-reported the incident to the principal and has apologized to the student and to the student’s parent. Appropriate disciplinary action has been taken.”.

1.  This idiot teacher needs to be fired.
2.  My condolences to all the bigot idiots out there (Megyn Kelly) but Santa is a FICTIONAL character just like Mickey Mouse and any other Disney character.  He could be white, Latino, Asian, BLACK or even a FEMALE!!!!!

You know what else Megyn Kelly?? I hate the way you spell your name.

65 year old man in Uganda may get 2 years in jail for being gay

Seriously?! This is another one to file under crazy.  There are SO many things to worry about in this world.  Who someone choses to love, sleep with or be sexually attracted to is NOT one of them.  It is seriously shocking that in 2013 discrimination based on sexual orientation is so openly promoted in some countries…

UGANDA-BRITAIN-HOMOSEXUALITY-COURT

Bernard Randall at his home in November 2013.
AFP PHOTO / ISAAC KASAMANI (Ph | AFP via Getty Images

Bernard Randall is a British citizen who is being charged with “trafficking obscene publications”.  Randall’s laptop was stolen in October and the criminals that stole the computer used some of the content on the computer to blackmail him.  As you most likely know, being gay is very illegal in Uganda.  They have an anti-gay bill, which is known as the “kill gays bill” because of how brutal, and horrible it is.  Not only are homosexual acts illegal in Uganda but also if you are Ugandan, committing homosexual acts are illegal NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE.  Holy bat-shit crazy folks! Yes, this is for real.

Back to the story.  So Randall may face up to 2 years in jail because there was a picture of him having gay sex on his laptop.  His Ugandan partner (who is 33 but that’s another story), Albert Cheptoyek, faces up to 7 years in prison “acts of gross indecency”.  His trial is now set for January of 2014.  As a side-note, the actual criminals who stole is laptop are also going to have a trial.  Can’t make this stuff up folks.

This type of discrimination is truly disheartening.  It also should remind us of just how lucky we are if we live in a relatively free country like the USA.  If only people would focus on things like education, feeding the hungry, crime and the millions of other things that actually need attention… This should make us all question the priorities of countries or governments that have any type of discriminatory laws in place.  We should also ask where does it come from.  My thoughts on where it originates are here.

2014 will be very gay on HBO

Very excited about 2014 on HBO! They two gay themed shows coming out (yay!).  Looking & The Normal Heart.  Both shows are highly anticipated and are creating a good amount of buzz already! AND they also have a documentary coming out called The Case Against 8 which is about California’s horrible, horrific and homophobic Proposition 8.

I don’t know about you but I am looking forward to it all.  We need more gay on TV.  Most importantly, we need gay characters to continue to be integrated in ‘mainstream’ shows/movies.

Take a look here:

 

 

Santa is white….I swear! Another funny moment brought to you by Fox “News”

Another great one from Jon Stewart. The sad thing is that there are SO many people in America that actually think Fox “News” is a serious news network. Scary and funny at the same time… This particular segment is about the “war on Christmas”.

Megyn Kelly, one of the brilliant “newscasters” at Fox “News” also decided to go off about how Santa is white. Santa is white dammit!! Don’t you try to tell me otherwise! What a dumb, ignorant and racist bitch. Go get an education hunty.

“I’d like to burn all gay people in ovens”: Former Russian Priest

Ivan Okhlobystin, former priest turned actor

File this under CRAZY.  Ivan Okhlobystin is a former priest from Russia who is now an actor.  He acts in the Russian version of the show “scrubs”.  “It’s Sodom and Gomorrah, as a religious person I can’t be indifferent to it, it’s a living threat to my children,” the idiot said.  Okhlobystin is a father of six kids and was kicked out of the Church in 2010 when he became an actor.  He also had a short-lived political career in 2011 when he TRIED to run for President.  Here are some other great quotes from this AMAZING man…“I don’t want my children to think that being a [faggot] is okay,”.  “It’s queer fascism! If a person can’t choose someone similar from the opposite sex for reproduction, it’s a clear sign of a psychic anomaly, it means they need to be deprived of the vote,”.  OK CRAZY.  Calm the f down.  Sounds to me like someone has issues with their own sexuality.

Russian LGBT people are facing HORRIBLE discrimination and harassment that is being promoted by the GOVERNMENT.  Last year, the Russian parliament began discussing a bill that bans “promoting non-traditional relations to minors” and clearly states that gays don’t have the same rights as their straight counterparts.  President Vladimir Putin signed this bill into law in June and has been defending it NONSTOP.

This is absolutely disgusting and a clear violation of human rights.  Russia has a FAR WAY TO GO before it could ever be taken seriously after all the horrific crimes against humanity here.

Being gay is illegal in India…again

5th Delhi Queer Pride parade in New Delhi in 2012.

India’s Supreme Court just threw out a 2009 ruling by a lower court that had decriminalized gay sex, a HUGE setback for gay rights in the world’s largest democracy.   This is almost hard to believe! The Supreme Court said that the lower court didn’t have the right to overturn the ruling 4 years ago.  Sounds like a lame-ass excuse to us.  It should be noted that several groups (mostly religious) fought very hard to overturn the 2009 ruling which decriminalized gay sex.  Groups included Hindus, Christians and Muslims.  A lawyer that worked on the case said, “They had said that this unnatural sex is not permissible in all the religions of the world.”.  

 

Great UN video on LGBT rights

“Gay people want healthcare because they are dying of AIDS”

David Agema

David Agema is the current Republican National Committeeman from Michigan, and the chairman of the “Top Gun Republican” political action committee has had some interesting things to say recently…according to our buddy Dave, gays want healthcare because they need it for their AIDS.  Here is what the genius had to say, “Folks, they (gay people) want free medical because they’re dying (when they’re) between 30 and 44 years old,”.  “To me, it’s a moral issue. It’s a Biblical issue. Traditional marriage is where it should be and it’s in our platform. Those in our party who oppose traditional marriage are wrong.”

Wow.  Seriously!? This guy needs to go back to 1950.  Ok- so why don’t we all send him a note? Here is his contact information.  You can easily send him an email:  agemaforRNC@gmail.com

Update to bigot baker story

Jack Phillips, bigot and Masterpiece Cakeshop Owner is still talking.  This guy needs to GO AWAY.  So the moron went on Fox News (shocking) to rant about how he is doing God’s work.  This story does a great job at getting to the root of where homophobia comes from…people truly believe that it is morally wrong to be gay because of religion.  

Here is what he had to tell Fox News’ Elisabeth Hasselbeck, “I do what I do because I love doing what I do and I believe it’s what God’s designed for me to do,”.  “I don’t plan on giving up my religious beliefs … I don’t feel that I should participate in their wedding, and when I do a cake, I feel like I’m participating in the ceremony or the event or the celebration that the cake is for.”.

Like many before him, this man is using religion as his excuse.  So sad.  If you truly believe in God, you should have enough brains to know the difference between right and wrong.  Hatred is wrong and any religion that preaches hatred is wrong (at least about the hatred piece).  Time for people to wake up!
