This shit has to STOP
Tuesday, July 24th, 2012Tweet It’s like there’s a gay bashing every other day in the United States. And it’s got to stop. People who say that gays aren’t like blacks when it comes to civil rights struggles are wrong. Because yesterday’s lynching of a black man for talking to a white woman is today’s beating of a woman [...]
Minnesota anti-equality group to gays: You should be put to death
Wednesday, June 27th, 2012Tweet Something really interesting happened over at the Minnesota for Marriage Facebook page yesterday. Someone posted a verse from the Christian bible chapter “Leviticus” that calls on gays to be put to death. And the outcome? Their supporters loved it. There were 30 likes by the time a screenshot was captured, and over 50 as I write [...]
A Sad Anniversary
Sunday, June 24th, 2012Tweet Turns out today, Sunday June 24th, 2012, is the 39th anniversary of the largest mass-murder of gay men in the history of the United States. Back on this day in 1973, someone firebombed the Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans that was holding church services for the Metropolitan Community Church – one of the only [...]
Can you imagine…
Thursday, May 24th, 2012Tweet So there’s a pastor in North Carolina that recently told his congregation that he favors taking gay people and putting them behind an electrified fence, where they’ll starve to death. ”Maybe” drop some food in once in a while – to the “lesbians” pen. This is a disgusting outrage. But where’s the outrage? His [...]
Hannity to Huntsman: Are you SURE you’re anti-gay enough?
Wednesday, June 22nd, 2011Tweet I just love this… So yesterday John Huntsman go into the GOP 2012 Presidential race. Sure, his message of “Let’s get out of Afghanistan” is going to be overshadowed by the impending announcement by the President tonight. But you know what couldn’t stand? Huntsman’s statement that he respected President Obama. Republicans didn’t like that [...]
NOM brings me back to 1967
Monday, August 24th, 2009Tweet Okay, so I wasn’t born until late 1967, and I don’t remember this myself. But the feelings are the same. Watch NOM’s latest commercial (you can find it here) talking about “activist judges” and “forcing gay marriage on Iowa”. Then take a step back and think about 1967 and interracial marriage. You know, back [...]
Harassment by any other name…
Friday, June 19th, 2009Tweet Wow… On the West Coast, there really are a few cities that you look towards for GLBT leadership. Those cities are San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Portland (probably in that order – at least in my mind). We have leadership in those cities that not only welcome the GLBT community, but help fight [...]
The AFA can bite my shiny metal ass
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009Tweet Note: I normally can control my temper, but this really pisses me off. The AFA has been pushing their right-wing hate-filled bigoted agenda for YEARS. So now that gays and lesbians have a chance to be PROTECTED under the law for people who try to hurt/bash/endanger/kill them for simply being gay, the AFA is [...]
(One image NSFW) Just when it was time to start trusting Amazon again
Sunday, April 12th, 2009Tweet I have to admit it. Amazon.com has gotten “sexy”. They have the new Kindle, and have even gotten me to come back as a customer after five years. They did some things a few years back that really ticked me off, and I left them for BUY.com and other places. But today, I think [...]
ABC investigates gay bashing
Wednesday, March 25th, 2009Tweet What if they were doing a gay bashing experiment in the bar that you frequented, and you didn’t know? ABC did this (click here), and in some ways the findings were surprising. In others, let’s just say I’ve heard it myself when out on the town…
