Gay Men To That!!

Joel Osteen and his FABULOUS hair!! Fundamentalist Christians choose to ignore a lot of things the bible condemns like wearing 2 different fabric or shaving.  They choose to ignore things the bible condones like slavery.  Somehow they can't seem to ignore the gay condemnation in the bible. Dan Savage told this to high school journalists.  Many of the fundamental christian journalists in the audience didn't want to hear the truth about their beliefs and walked out. Via TowleRoad: The Bible. We'll just talk about the Bible for a second. People often point out that they can't help it -- they can't help with the anti-gay bullying, because it says right there in Leviticus, it says right there in Timothy, it says right there in Romans, that being gay is wrong. We can learn to ignore the bulls**t in the Bible about gay people. The same way, the same way we have learned to ignore the bulls**t in the Bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about f

Dominic "see how manly I am" Dieter I can see it now.  A new reality series called "Raped Straight".  It will be a combination of "Intervention" and "Scared Straight".   Not only is he claiming that gays and lesbians can change who they are if only they find the right opposite sex partner, he's advocating for rape to get the job done.  Stay classy, Cleveland!! Dominic Dieter, a radio personality at Cleveland's WMMS, is in hot water for suggesting to a father he should arrange to have his daughter raped to turn her straight. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is calling on Clear Channel, parent company of WMMS, to suspend Dieter for the comment. Dieter doled out the advice during Friday morning's  Rover's Morning Glory  show . Responding to a father who happened upon his teenage daughter kissing another girl, Dieter said, “You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight.”

Very Anti Gay Coach Dave Daubenmire ...Or he may not be.  I don't have any direct facts that prove he is gay.  But let's examine the following evidence .  First, we have the fact that  coach Dave Daubenmire is very vocally ANTI GAY!! Via JoeMyGod: " Permit me to clarify the definition. Sodomy is one MAN inserting his genitals into the mouth or anus of ANOTHER MAN. Say it again. Say it out loud so your ears hear it. Picture it in your mind. Picture Barney Frank and Elton John in action. Barney Frank putting his genitals into Elton John’s. That is what they want to tell us is normal…no wait…tell our children is normal. Into that 'union' they are asking permission to place children. Would you let them put YOUR grandchild into a sodomy-based family? Why would you let them do it to someone else’s child? Have normal people lost their minds?"  - Crackpot "Coach"  Dave Daubenmire , in a column republished by Porno Pete. Wow, for someone who hates s

John Avarosis at AmericaBlog thinks this U.K. video may miss the mark.  He thinks it may turn off the intended audience that it is trying to convince by showing a very tender kiss between the 2 men.  I disagree.  I think the video does a great job of "humanizing" both men before the kiss.  It takes its time to portray the emotional expressions of both men during this homecoming. I think anyone can identify with either one of the two.  The kiss that follows only reinforces the emotion that we have already seen and identified with.  I think the ad works, not just for gays but for anyone that is "ready" to be convinced. Also, the kiss takes place after a marriage proposal.  Without the kiss, the scene would seem fake.  It would seem too self-aware, trying too hard to be "acceptable".  Including the kiss is a very clever way of showing how natural the situation is.  Love is Love and a marriage proposal, if accepted, is always followed by a kiss. What do y

Another excuse to post a shirtless hot guy... you're welcome...again! Not only would it ban the therapy for minors, it would also require a consent form to be signed by adults subject to this harmful treatment.  "Reparative therapy" is complete bunk!  It is harmful to the people unfortunate enough to be subjected to it.  It also DOES NOT WORK.   Even "reparative therapists" have admitted this. Opponents of this bill will scream about "religious freedom" and allowing patients to decide what is best for themselves...uh, no.  Religious freedom does not give one license to cause emotional harm to another individual.  Patients who request this therapy are doing so because the homophobes around them have convinced them that being gay is bad.  "Reparative therapy" is the symptom of a disease called homophobia.  This bill goes a long way to curing this disease.

I could have used a picture with a shirt... You're Welcome!! There is nothing hotter than a sexy straight guy advocating for gay rights.  Just look at Chris Evans.  No, really, look at that chest!  O.K. back to the issue at hand.   Via Playboy: PLAYBOY:  Your brother is gay. Do you support gay marriage? EVANS: Are you kidding me? It’s insane that civil rights are being denied people in this day and age. It’s embarrassing, and it’s heartbreaking. It goes without saying that I’m completely in support of gay marriage. In 10 years we’ll be ashamed that this was an issue.

What is that sound?  Is it the sound of right wing Christian heads exploding?  Could be. Imagine the irony of these homophobic fundamentalists worshiping what could be the gay messiah. Found at AmericaBlog: Was that divisive issue a subject for Good Friday? For the first time in my ministry I felt it had to be. Those last words of Jesus would not let me escape. "When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, 'Woman behold your son!' Then he said to the disciple. 'Behold your mother!' And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home." That disciple was John whom Jesus, the gospels affirm, loved in a special way. All the other disciples had fled in fear. Three women but only one man had the courage to go with Jesus to his execution. That man clearly had a unique place in the affection of Jesus. In all classic depictions of the Last Supper, a favourite subject of Christian art, John is next to Jesus,

It's great to see such a brave stance within such a hateful organization!  Bravo to all the parishes that are standing up against bigotry! Via Think Progress: At least six Catholic parishes in Washington state have ignored the Seattle Archbishop’s call to gather signatures for a referendum repealing the state’s recently-enacted marriage equality law, calling the effort “hurtful and seriously divisive in our community.” “Seattle’s Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church  gave the Rev. Tim Clark a standing ovation  Sunday” when he announced that the parish would not be participating in the anti-equality effort: “I am happy to report that Our Lady of the Lake parish-oners have been overwhelmingly and, thus far, unanimously supportive of the decision I made NOT to gather signatures in support of this Referendum,” Clark wrote in response to an e-mail. “ The standing ovation experienced during one of the Masses says less about me and much more about the health of this parish. I

It obviously makes sense that there were gays and lesbians on the fateful maiden voyage of the Titanic.  Here is a video with  Hugh Brewster, author of 'RMS Titanic: Gilded Lives on a Fatal Voyage' being interviewed about the many gays and lesbians on the ship.

Dr. Robert Spitzer Something tells me the homophobes who have used this study to promote their hateful agenda won't care about this retraction.  This study is a major weapon that they used to claim gays can change their sexual identity.  Facts never do get in the way of their beliefs...I don't think they can change either. Via Truth Wins Out: I n a move that serves as a significant blow to “ex-gay” programs and anti-gay organizations, Dr. Robert Spitzer repudiated his much-criticized 2001 study that claimed some “highly motivated” homosexuals could go from gay to straight. His retraction occurred in  anAmerican Prospect magazine article that hit newsstands today. Spitzer’s rejection of his own research, which was originally published in the prestigious Archives of Sexual Behavior, is a devastating blow to “ex-gay” organizations because it decisively eliminates their  most potent claim  that homosexuality can be reversed through therapy and prayer. Dr. Spitzer’s rep

We need to make this point over and over.   This should become common knowledge so our unfortunate closet case brethren will think twice before they publicly work to deny us our rights.  Anyone who is actively promoting anti gay policies should be assumed to be a self-loathing closet case.    Via RawStory: People who have negative feelings toward homosexuality often have secret attractions to the same sex — and are more likely to have grown up in households that forbid homosexual feelings, according to a recent study. A research team from the University of Rochester, the University of Essex, England, and the University of California in Santa Barbara  found  that “[h]omophobia is more pronounced in individuals with an unacknowledged attraction to the same sex and who grew up with authoritarian parents who forbade such desires.” “Individuals who identify as straight but in psychological tests show a strong attraction to the same sex may be threatened by gays and lesbians beca

My partner and I are celebrating our 19th anniversary with a weekend getaway in Fort Worth, TX. Yes, I said 19th!  If Newt Gingrich keeps it up, he can have as many wives as my husband and I have had anniversaries! We took Amtrak from Austin to Fort Worth.  I haven't been on Amtrak since my 6th grade school trip to Washington D.C.  It was a very enjoyable ride.  The seats are very roomy, the dining car was very fun.  I think we may be looking into more train vacations. We had a nice massage and then a delicious dinner at Reata on Houston Street . We got to walk around downtown Fort Worth. It's much nicer than I had imagined. The surprise of the trip was the beautiful Fort Worth Water Gardens designed by Phillip Johnson . Here are some photos that I took. Enjoy!

Cult founder Joseph Smith and family honoring the concept of marriage between one man and one women...snark!! Like they did in the California prop 8 campaign,  cult members of the mormon church are working to impose their homophobic beliefs on the state of Maryland.  I thought religious freedom was important.   Cult member  Mitt Romney has been bitching about it lately .  Doesn't that include the freedom to not live according to hateful bigot's religious beliefs? Oh, "religious freedom" only matters if you agree with the mormon cult. Via Washington Blade: Members of the Mormon Church in Maryland are working to overturn the state’s recently passed marriage equality law, according to an email obtained by the Washington Blade. In the message dated March 29 sent to D.C. and Southern Maryland-area church members, the writer states that a coalition of inter-denominational Maryland churches has joined to place a referendum before voters in November on the marri

Hot Homo-Pandering Scott Brown In an obvious attempt to pander to the gay community, Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown writes an opinion piece in New England's GLBT Magazine Bay Windows.  In it, he promises the gay community...nothing. Via Bay Windows: I don’t come before you with a checklist of items promising that I will be an advocate for you on each and every one of them. My opponent has already started down that road, promising to support everyone’s pet project. That’s not the way I have ever operated. So, he not only commits to nothing in terms of issues that have a direct affect on the lives of the GLBT community, he likens his opponent Elizabeth Warren's commitment to GLBT rights to support of "pet projects".  He dismisses our civil rights to be no more important than, say, a tax break for a relocating company.  Even worse, he says these "pet projects" take a back seat to creating jobs. Mass. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren But I

This is the most important data in the world!! HOW BIG IS YOUR DICK?

Dolphins...or Gay Sharks!! One of the main arguments made against homosexuality has been that homosexuality is not natural.  Too bad, for this argument, nature is having none of it.   From Discovery.com:  Male bottlenose dolphins also were found to engage in extensive bisexuality, combined with periods of exclusive homosexuality. Male pairs, or even trios, cooperate to sequester and herd individual females during the mating season. Most males are also members of second order alliances consisting of 4 to 14 males. Such relationships appear to be long lasting, with one known 7-member group still intact after 17 years.

Now, it's getting interesting!  Queerty has allegedly obtained a photo of the gay couple arrested in Dominica for having gay sex on their cabin's balcony, in full view of everyone on the dock.  I had previously stated that we knew this was not the case...Apparently, I was wrong. Plus, there is  this eyewitness account: My boyfriend and I, and a busload of other guys, did see what was happening on the balcony of the Celebrity Summit as we waited for our excursion to depart. At first, I wasn’t paying attention, until I noticed a few Dominican females near the security gate of the pier where the ship docked, waving their arms and hands towards the ship, and talking loudly about something on the ship. The others on board the bus also looked, and we noticed one, then two guys on the balcony walking around naked. My first thought was, ‘If we can see them, can they see us?’ The ruckus at the dock became more excited when it appeared, at first to me, that they were engag
