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!

We’re loving this new cover for W magazine! Hollywood actresses Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson striking an oh-so-screaming-lesbian pose. At least we can just imagine how they’d look like if they were rocker dykes!

The moment I saw this, I knew I had to read on!

Don’t you just want to throw yourself to this beautiful crowd? Yes, it’s the start of this year’s much-awaited Winter Party Festival!

One of Show Your Gay Pride’s valuable sponsors, SoBeGayInfo (Gay South Beach Information; Everything Gay From the Beach to the Bay <— I just love that! —> please check out their website through the link on the right! Muchos gracias! :D), is featuring the WPF. (You know what this means…the Gay Pride festivals are also just around the corner!)

So just what is the WPF and what can you expect there? Here’s something from the official WPF website:

Launched in 1994 as a one-time charity dance event on the sands of beautiful South Beach, Winter Party Festival has evolved into a six-day festival benefiting the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community on the national and local levels. Over 10,000 guests from all over the United States and abroad attend at least one of the 20 events - including music, fashion, art, comedy and more — that take place in Miami and Miami Beach. The Festival climaxes with the Winter Party Beach Party, a dance event on the sands of South Beach that draws a crowd of more than 5,500 revelers. The 15th Annual Beach Party will be the centerpiece of the 2008 Winter Party Festival. This fabulous celebration, benefitting the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, is also an important fundraiser for the LGBT community. To date, the Festival and its sister event, the Miami Recognition Dinner, have raised over $1.6 million for organizations serving the South Florida LGBT community.

Anyways, the Winter Party Festival will start on February 23. Check out the updated schedule HERE.

Who’s going?

Here’s a nice twist to the usual erotic stories, poems and pictures that homosexuals like us usually see in the Internet these days. Check out The Masque (click on their ad on the right side of this blog) - an erotic renaissance of the days gone by.

If you’re as curious as I am on how the masquerade balls of yesteryears went - then imagine THAT mixed with curious pictures, curious poems and sexually charged stories for the LGBT community.

I particularly like the presentation — instead of something direct and “spoonfed,” The Masque presents it with class, distinct taste and passion. The Salon, for instance, is a category where odes to the likes of Sappho and Thamyris are presented. Before you strike that confused look, however, The Salon boasts of stories and poems like a co-ed’s first time lesbian experience with her roommate, a bisexual newlywed seduces and is seduced by her professor and an older female attorney who falls for a young female paralegal. Ah…I can imagine how the protagonists throw themselves in the throes of passion in those stories!

Other categories in The Masque include The Attic, The Conservatory and The Library.

All right all of you! It’s the L-O-V-E month, February, and we all know that not all of you are as lucky as Sidnei and I (hah!) so I thought maybe I could let you on in a website that could help you with your heart troubles.

If you’re looking into the possibility of being able to find a new person in your life - someone who can give you inspiration and romanticize you to your very core (talk about being a hopeless romantic!)  - maybe you could try the personals/datings scene online.

Here’s one that I found out just recently. It’s a website called GayFriendFinder. If you haven’t heard of it yet, well it’s a website that claims to have at least 309,000 active members to date. The website features a webcam chat platform, magazine, blogs and other features that could help you find that sexy man of your dreams!

So why not give this website a try now? If you end up having a nice romantic connection, I demand (!) that you come back and tell me all about it! Good luck

Not only is he a hero of the environment, he’s also fast becoming a hero of the LGBT community! Al Gore recently spoke in defense of gays everywhere:

“I don’t understand why it is considered by some people to be a threat to heterosexual marriage to allow it by gays and lesbians…Shouldn’t we be promoting the kind of faithfulness and loyalty to one’s partner regardless of sexual orientation?”

Oohh…Big Al’s fast becoming my favorite gay activist. Wonder if this move will help him if ever he wants to seek the presidency?
