The Spencer Hamilton Blog

I looked at some of the comments posted at: http://www.nomblog.com/7366/ and I am sure that NOM Blog may not let such a well reasoned counterargument prevail on its board. I will check and see maybe tomorrow Let me address some things people are saying here: Homosexuality being a dead end lifestyle--BS! The stigma created by society on homosexuality is one of the most dangerous things that has been. When those wonderful children committed suicide, every bigot said it's because they 'embraced a deadly lifestyle' Horseshit! It's because of the simple fact that people made it harder for them to live their lives in an open fashion as they deserve Next, EQUAL UNDER THE LAW MEANS EXACTLY THAT! Those words are not hollow words without meaning and validity in court--that's why the AR Supreme Court struck down Act 1 Also, Anderson v. King County used circular reasoning in reaching the verdict. Reproduction--the fact is, older couples could be denied if m...

Hello Everyone I am shocked and appalled at the senseless act of violence that occurred in a Batimore, MD McDonald's. When I think of McDonald's I think of Ronald the Clown, the Golden Arches, the chicken nuggets I can't help but like, the playpen I went with my cousins to where they played themselves tired while Brother John and I went to Manhattan to drop them off with their Grandma. I also think of my own Grandma taking us there when I was about 11-12 and noticing me not being as talkative and/or having fun, asked me if something was wrong. I also remember my Aunt Karema correcting a rowdy kid asking him: Do you wanna get kicked outta here? Kenwood Avenue McDonalds in Rosedale, MD But now, the Golden Arches are stained with one incident. Sometimes all it takes is one simple incident to bestow a terrible legacy on yourself or your family. When i saw the video, I was shocked, appalled, I wanted to beat those wome...

Rosedale, MD Transgender Attack Reveals Racism Among So Called Open Minded LGBT Community by Terry Purdue on Monday, May 2, 2011 at 10:13pm Hello everyone Attack On Chrissy Polis In My previous note about this located here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150169546117043&set=a.10150169545867043.302871.26659417042&type=1#!/note.php?note_id=10150164972706751 . I make no attempt to hide my disgust at the women who assaulted Ms. Polis, who had been living as a transgender woman. Many comments made about her gender I felt were insensitive and uncalled for, it was downright mean to have people from the gay and lesbian community and possible allies say terrible things about Ms. Polis not being able to use the women's bathroom. However, someone pointed out that she could've been beaten up for using the men's room too. As a gay man, my gender is constantly brought to the forefront because of the fact that I like other men. It is called into question in...

Hello everyone, Today I heard the news and I am going to be honest, I'm ecstatic this fucker is dead. As far as his personhood, I don't believe in personhood for bin Laden yes he is a person but when you become a terrorist, your life is devoted to a cause that you would kill and die for. You become a blank slate for the cause, and no one's life is worth anything. Where I Was When I Heard About 9-11 I was in first period, and we were listening to the radio and preparing for a banquet. My first class was hospitality down at Emerson which had a banquet room and sometimes city officials would have meetings there. So, I am cutting something and I notice everyone's gone. I looked around the line of freezers that divided the room and saw that the students and teachers were huddled around the radio. I heard "A plane crashed into the World Trade Center" and I thought it was a helicopter that lost control. When the second plane hit, I knew it was terror...

Introduction It's been a while since I wrote a note on Prop 8 because the arguments will begin again regarding the 'standing' of the proponents--if they have a provable interest and have suffered harm because of Judge Walker's ruling--Judge Walker has since retired and his replacement may have a chance to rule. Background The California State Supreme Court has said that they will expedite the arguments to September. Atty Olson asked to expedite it further but said simply: It has been expedited already, we will not do so again. The opponents council both Olson and Boies had asked the Ninth Circuit Court to lift the stay arguing that gay couples shouldn't have to wait until September and then the next year when the ruling comes out, if favorable to get married. The Ninth Circuit said no we will not lift the stay. My Two Cents I feel two ways about this ruling: One it is brilliant and two it is a bit of a practical move. Why?!  Are you flipping b...

Okay everyone, today I am pissed! I am outraged, I am feeling all kinds of ways right now because of the recent string of gay teens committing suicide in a world that was harsh to them. I am very angered and just outraged that the schools in Anoka-Hennepin District in Minnesota have adapted a neutrality policy stating that they can't talk about sexual orientation and gender identity for fear that they'll convert the remaining students to homosexuality. The recruitment theory is outdated and overrated. I've never seen a straight man seduced, if so he wasn't straight to begin with. The only thing that The Minnesota Family Council seem to want is a world where GLBT people don't exist. They want to make it so that they can continue to foster such an anti-gay atmosphere still. There may be changes in the policies but the fact is that there has to be an exchange of dialogue with the students--not just the administrators. This must be reinforced in the home, but with the...
