Hello Everyone, Today I heard about two friends that had been bashed, but they got out okay. However, when the police was called over they said they were off-duty but didn't call police, didn't do anything. They turned on my friends as if they did something to aggravate the men/group of men into attacking them. It's like telling a woman that she deserved to be raped because she was dressed provocatively, only a fool would do so. I could be attacked for simply holding my partner's hand in public or doing anything that would be appropriate if I were with a woman. One episode of Six Feet Under S1E12 A Private Life, shows a man being beaten to death and the perpetrators saying: Read a Bible pervert! Afterward, they talk about being more concerned about HIV/AIDS and not knowing that their son could be killed simply going to the ATM (CeCe McDonald was attacked while trying to go to the store, and many gay men in various states have been attacked leaving a gay bar in thei...

Hello, I have heard some things about Hilary Rosen and Ann Romney and I have to say: Mitt Romney just DOESN'T register and resonate with ANYONE, Conservatives are now going to be split between two camps: Camp Gingrich, socially and Camp Ron Paul, fiscally. However, in the last week or two I've been hearing about Hilary Rosen commenting on the fact that Ann Romney has never had a job and has only been a stay at home Mom, so she's out of touch with what working women want and are concerned with. If that is true that she was a stay at home Mom then Rosen's comments are not exactly unwarranted. However, it is not a dig at stay at home Moms becuase of the fact that it wasn't the gist of what she was saying. It was about WORKING WOMEN and the economy, ones that don't come from old money and backgrounds for new money to be constantly flowing in. She never said that being a stay at home Mom wasn't a difficult job, any PARENT gay or straight will tell you that bei...

Hey Yall, I recently was very appalled to find out that a person who liked OUTspoken for Equality (a group I admin on facebook) and commented on a recent post was and I quote " I'm a big fan of Gay and Lesbian equality BUT I resent the trans group using gay & lesbians as their ticket to ride. " However, the problem is this: Don't gay and lesbian community always hear that from the Homophobic elements of the Black Community too? The "Civil Rights Mantra" is often used against us because we can 'de-gay ourselves' I've recently watched a movie that made it seem like gay equality would take away the progress of the black community, and that to say that the black and gay struggles are similar is to open Pandora's box. Well, I submit to you that it is already opened and protections based on race haven't eroded, and still homophobic elements of the black community use the conduct v. race card. But what's even more troubling is w...

Okay, so the story goes like this: We were 'partially clothed' and they picked us out of a lineup and said: we were having sex on the balcony. Then this incriminating photo surfaces and the egg on their faces must be dropping on in torrents. Now, I would not be caught alive in a place where it is illegal for me to be gay with my Lovey having sex there when in most places not only is it illegal but we can be killed for it. I always say that common sense is not so common but this really takes the cake. Here the gay press was defending this couple and now the real story comes out. I've seen a share of stories in which the press--and even I myself have had a kneejerk reaction: Like the Dakota Ary ordeal out of Texas. The Right Wingers had a field day kicking around the football of him saying that homosexuality was wrong but a lot of LGBT positive press defended the kid saying that he had a right to say it even though it had nothing to do with what he was doing in c...

Hello All, I am giving some thoughts on barebacking. Barebacking is simply having sex without condoms. Now, for a straight couple that means a baby  in 9 months, in gay men it means HIV/AIDS, now I know lesbians get it too and straight people get it as well, but the fact is that when guys come out, I believe HIV becomes more of a thought than it would if you were straight. I remember sitting down with Darryl saying: I don't think white guys think about HIV often. He replied: I think about HIV and I'm white, to which I replied: It's because you're gay. Now, I have to admit that sometimes hanging out at a health center, I am paranoid a bit even though I'm careful and get tested regularly. In my relationship we don't use condoms, and have been completely faithful to one another. So, that begs a question that many gay couples ask: When is the time that it is okay to go 'raw' during a relationship. My opinion is this: Use condoms, and when it gets to t...

Hello Everyone, I decided to write this down in my journal because I'd like to have some of these written down so that I can refer to them at a later date. This has been on my mind for some time. It may be a little long, but bear with me please. As every theocrat says: this country was built on Christian (or Judeo-Christian) principles, it's the cornerstone of our country. Actually, their very assertion is incorrect on its face. This country was founded on the belief that every person could be free to practice any religion or NO religion at all. William Penn said: Two things I cannot stand, blind obedience and those who would persecute me because they believe differently from me. The case in point has to be the Puritans who expelled people from MA--which used to stretch from ME to MD and broke up due to religion.MD and DE were Catholic states. However, PA inhabited by Quakers (who were labeled the 'godless liberals' of the day) and welcoming all r...
