Show Your (Gay) Pride

My heart and well wishes go out to all gays in Moscow!

I just learned that the gay pride organizers have asked the European Court of Human Rights to order the city of Moscow to pay one-million Euros (about $1.5 US)!!! This, because of the fact that Moscow has been banning pride parades over the past two years.

The complainants have filed the lawsuit against the city government and City Mayor Yuri Lushkov.

Over the years, Lushkov failed to grant the pride organizers permits to hold their gay pride festivals. Apparently, the mayor was “concerned” with possible violent scenarios.

Which is totally funny because really, how violent can we homosexuals really be? (not counting the matters exchanged in bed, of course! LOL) In any case, most, if not all, of the so-called violent scenarios are usually results of provocation!

All right, people, you have GOT to agree that this is the best piece of news today!

Harris County District Attorney Chuck Rosenthal (R), the very same guy who chastised homosexuals big time and who fought before the Supreme Court to criminalize homosexuality under Texan law, is now under investigation for misconduct after the discovery of e-mails containing sexually explicit videos, racist jokes and what is described as torrid love notes to his executive secretary.

HAHAHAHA!

I tell you, the gay bashers are usually the ones who have the scariest skeletons in their closets! And to think this Rosenthal guy is married! OMG I can’t imagine the embarrassment this has all caused to his family!

I can only imagine the hundreds of judges, attorneys and legal officers out there who are busy burning the midnight oil just to delete all incriminating emails and burning all incriminating love notes to assistants/secretaries! HAHAHA!

Get this — another blow for our fellow homosexuals.

The Iraq government is considering the release of roughly 5,000 prisoners. Unfortunately, the amnesty will exclude terrorists and homosexuals.

So yeah, if you’re gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual — sorry but you won’t get to see the light of day!

Interestingly, while homosexuality itself is not illegal in Iraq, the authorities there regularly arrest gays…and on charges that are reportedly often trumped up.

So much for equality and beefed up gay rights!

The amnesty would cover less than a quarter of the total number of people held in Iraqi prisons, and none of those held by the American military. The total number of gays being held is unknown.

First it was Pope Benedict XVI who had a field day trying to castigate the LGBT community - now it’s Iraq that’s making its stand known against gays.

What’s next?

Pope Benedict XVI of the Catholic Church is at it again. Gays, lesbians, transgenders and bisexuals are again at the core of his most recent attacks from the pulpit.

In his first public address of 2008, the said Pope, who, in my own humble opinion is way too different from Pope John Paul, called same-sex marriage a threat to world peace.

Yup, the very right we’ve all been fighting for in a very long time (since time immemorial even, truth be told!) has just been branded as A THREAT.

He called for support of traditional families made up of a union between a man and a woman. He also condemned what he called attempts to undermine the traditional family unit.

“I wanted to shed light on the direct relationship that exists between the family and peace in the world…The family is the primary agent of peace and the negation or even the restriction of rights of the family … threatens the very foundations of peace,” the Pope was quoted as saying.

Should we still care about what he said? Should we still feel hurt?

Come to think of it, what he said and what he will continue to say will always be the same. It will never change. Gays, lesbians, transgenders and bisexuals will always be the bad guys. We’ll always be the THREATS.

The Pope’s message will always be on the same note. It will always carry the same opinion about the members of the LGBT community. Unless something incredibly astounding will happen very soon, we will always be the castaways, the bad seeds, the threats to society, tradition and family.

WHAT I WANT TO KNOW, THOUGH, IS:

-  does the same message apply to closet gay priests? Does the same message apply to priests who molest young children, who love to prey on little boys and girls?  Or is the Pope and the rest of the clergy (as well as the faithful) turning a blind eye on these scandals?

THESE THREATS TO THE VERY CHURCH?

Shouldn’t the Pope have talked about how his ailing Church should go about facing all the scandals, all the tragedies, all the really embarrassing moments? Shouldn’t the Pope have talked about how to meet all the court-appointed payments (remember the $600 million payout???) that his ailing Church should make towards victims of his wayward clergymen?

Why prey on gays, lesbians, transgenders, bisexuals?

WHY NOT CASTIGATE YOUR VERY OWN CHURCH?

A member of B2K, the boy group that made “Bump, Bump, Bump” damn popular, is speaking out!

Raz B is claiming that he and several members of the ultra-popular group were raped by former manager Chris Stokes. Check this video out!

and this…

There are just soooo many questions in relation to this case.

Is Chris Stokes really gay? Or was he in love with the boys that he used to manage? Exactly who among the boys did he rape? And most importantly - HOW did he rape them, WHERE did he rape them and WHEN did he rape them?

We need details! Details will be great Christmas presents!

It’s good to know that the I.C. Norcom High School has apologized to the 17 year old senior who they recently threatened with suspension. The senior, Bethany Laccone, is a proud and out lesbian.

The American Civil Liberties Union on Friday demanded for the apology and the school, in the return, apologized and pledged that they will no longer censor Laccone’s way of showing her gay pride in the future.

The matter stems from the incident when Laccone wore a t-shirt which had an image of two overlapping female gender symbols.

“When my teacher told me she wanted me to turn my shirt inside-out or cover it up, I was confused, because I’ve worn that shirt to school several times before and nobody ever said a word about it,” said Laccone.

“I wear that shirt because I want people to know that I’m proud of being a lesbian and comfortable with who I am. And I have the same Constitutional right to free speech as any other student.”

Yes Bethany, you do have the same Constitutional right to free speech.

You also have the same Constitutional right to wear whatever you want to.

Too bad that you have a teacher who’s too shallow and who’s too much of a sissy to get so upset over two perfectly normal symbols. Two words for you, Bethany: TRANSFER SCHOOLS!

Oh boo you, Mitt Romney! Like really — the LAW of the land??? The only thing that needs support is your rapidly falling popularity among members of the LGBT community.
