Gay Couple Added To Cinderella Story

What's a fairy tale without a couple of fairies? Well an updated version of Cinderella On Ice premiered in Melbourne the other night with a few variations. Artistic director Tony Mercer replaced the prince with the mayor's son and the fairy godmother with a gypsy. That's not all, he included a dance by two gay lovers in a scene.

I don't think there is anything offensive about including a gay couple," Mr Mercer said.

"You see them day in, day out on the street."

Dozens of children were among the audience at the ice spectacular. While gay advocacy groups applauded the move, Australian Families Association called it inappropriate.

"We need to protect our children. They don't need to grow up any quicker," said a AFA spokesperson. Read more.

What do you think. Was it inappropriate to add a gay couple to a children's story? Would you be against your children reading a story book that included gay characters?

Immigration Judge Recommends SGL Man Hide Sexuality

Lets see if I understand this right. A SGL Pakistani man, currently living in Minnesota, says he will be persecuted if he returns to Pakistan because of his sexual orientation. The Immigration Judge, recommending deportation, does not disagree that homosexuals are persecuted in Pakistan but is quoted as saying the threat does not exist if the man hides his sexual orientation, marries a woman, and has children. (Oh by the way, did I mention that the man is HIV+)

So what the judge is recommending is personal oppression to counter societal oppression in another country. Huh? Isn't that one of the purposes of granting political asylum, to protect individuals from human rights oppression? What was that judge smoking?

Surprisingly the Board of Immigration Appeals originally upheld the Immigration Judge’s decision but after receiving feedback from local Human Rights organizations is now reviewing the case a second time. Source.

40 Arrested For Prostitution In Chinese Bathouse

A 24-hour bath house in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province was raided by police this past Saturday. In the small one lobby, one bathroom, 10 single room basement establishment, police arrested 40 same gender loving men on suspicion of prostitution. Two men were reportedly caught in the act of having sex with each other.

The bath house charges 30 yuan (US$4.38) at the door, then if you want to enjoy the company of a male sex worker you pay an additional 198 yuan (roughly US$30.00). Chinese laws specify that sex acts based on money or goods come under the definition of prostitution. Read more.

Makes you wonder if those arrested were 20 johns and 20 prostitutes? More questions. If only two were caught in the act, how did they prove that the 38 other people were engaging in illegal sexual behaviors? If you are at a bath house, why would you need to pay anyone for sex, isn't everyone there for the purpose of sex? (I know, I know, some of you go there to exercise. Yeah, right). Was this raid more about homosexual behavior than a simple case of prostitution?

Church Shooter Wrote Letter Of Hate Towards Gays

You all have heard by now of how Jim David Adkisson walked into the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in West Knoxville, Tennessee last week and killed two people and injured seven attending services. Well, the media has focused more on the gunman's dislike for liberals and less on his hatred for gays. Adkisson left a 4-page letter in his car that detailed his hatred of gays and "the liberal movement" as the reason behind the shooting. Police are not making the letter available for public exposure.

Church members want to know the entire content of the letter to find out if he was targeting anyone in particular in the church or church members as a whole. "We need to know what we're dealing with. Is it just liberals he was targeting? Is it just gays? Was it all these things mixed together? We need to know," said the Rev. Bob Galloway pastor of the church.

The church has about 180 people, 85% of them being same gender loving. Source.

I think it is sad when people object to others worshiping God. The same God that they themselves profess to love and worship. This type of sick mindedness is not only in the pages of books like Lee Hayes' The Messiah, but these religious psychopaths actually live among us. Pray people. There is alot of hate in this world and without prayer I don't believe we can make it.

Pardon The Interruption

Sorry about my unannounced absence last week. The gods that preside over Google decided they needed to contact me personally about a "phantom" matter. While doing so, I was not allowed to post. But now, that "phantom" matter has been resolved and I am back to posting.

Clarifying Life Expectancy and HIV

A group of researchers called the Antiretroviral Therapy Cohort Collaboration found that a person now diagnosed HIV+ at 20 years old could expect to live for another 49 years. That's a 13 year increase since the 1990s. In the 1990s a HIV+ person could expect to live another 36 years. Advancements in antiretroviral treatment is being credited for the significant rise in life expectancy.

Researcher Professor Jonathan Sterne said: "These advances have transformed HIV from being a fatal disease, which was the reality for patients before the advent of combination treatment, into a long-term chronic condition."

Although the 13 year increase was significant, researchers warn this was still short of the life expectancy for the wider population which stands at about 80.

Also, those diagnosed later in the course of the infection had a much shorter life expectancy.

Therefore it is important to get tested early and if you are on meds take them as prescribed to ensure a longer life. Read more.

Nike Ad, Homophobic or Homoerotic?

Seems like several major companies are succumbing to outside pressure to be culturally sensitive and politically correct. Yesterday I reported on the Mars company, now Nike has agreed to pull its ad for its Hyperdunk basketball shoes under criticism that the ads "fed homophobic views."

One ad showed a basketball player dunking over another. The crotch of the player dunking was planted firmly in the other player’s face. The ad sported a large tag line: “That Ain’t Right.”

Although they defended their ads, Nike agreed to pull them “to underline our ongoing commitment to supporting diversity in sport and the workplace.”

Check out the Nike ad below. Although not the one in question, its very controversial. Homophobic, maybe. Homoerotic is more like it. The guy is dunked on, ends up with a face full of crotch then they show him thinking about something to eat and they show a hot dog (labeled Terry's white sausage with sweet mustard) and the face of the dunker on the hot dog.

Mr. T Snickers Ad Labeled Homophobic

The makers of Snickers, the Mars company, has decided to pull a Mr. T ad that a gay rights group called "homophobic." The Human Rights Campaign Foundation criticized the ad as using stereotypes of gay men. Mars issued a statement on Thursday saying the ad was meant to be funny not offensive and therefore is pulling the ad. Source

Take a look at the ad below. Stereotyped? Well yeah! Offensive? Slightly. Funny? You be the judge.

Homophobia Spreading HIV

Yesterday, an interesting report was published on the UK News website. The article looked at the continued spread of HIV in Africa and the role homophobia has played in the process. Here are some excerpts:

The persistent and increasing outbreaks of violence against members of the gay community in Africa are jeopardising efforts undertaken to combat HIV, both within this group and across the population as a whole, Aids activists warned at a recent meeting in Limb, Cameroon.

On average it is estimated that HIV infection rates amongst MSM (men who have sex with men) are four to five times higher than the population overall, with highs in certain areas.

According to IGLHRC, 38 of the 53 countries in Africa still consider homosexuality as an offence punishable by sentences ranging in severity up to imprisonment.

In Senegal the ‘manhunt’ and arrests that have taken place over the last few months, following photos of a gay festival being published in the local news, forced certain members of the MSM community to go into exile, and others, including those infected with HIV, to hide – therefore, giving up their treatment.

Even when MSM are aware, their exclusion from the majority of health policies on the continent means that it is difficult for them to obtain what they need to protect themselves from infection.

The most frequent problem is access to lubricating gel, explained Monvoisin. “Many [MSM] use butter or oil, but unfortunately this damages condoms.”

The clandestine existence that gay communities are forced to hide away in exposes them not just to the risk of HIV, but the rest of the population too: because they are unable to live openly as gay men, many MSMs also have sexual relations with women, or are even married, activists have highlighted.

Hate will not only cause the further spread of the disease but also threatens to wipe out large segments of countries within Africa. This type of moral ignorance will in the long run reap major havoc on the continent as a whole. Advocacy groups there need or help, our money, and our prayers.

Golden Girl Passes

Estelle Getty, star on the hit comedy series 'Golden Girls' died early Tuesday morning. Best known for her role as Sophia Petrillo, Dorothy's feisty mother, quick witted with a sharp tongue. You could always count on Sophia to state the obvious when no one else would.

Getty also starred on stage as the Jewish mother in Harvey Fierstein’s play “Torch Song Trilogy. She also appeared in the movie "Mask," "Mannequin," and with Sylvester Stallone in “Stop or My Mom Will Shoot” (yeah, I missed that one too).

She suffered from advance dementia and died in her home at about 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. She was 84.



May she rest in peace. She will be missed.

Drag Queens Out Of Control

I've always known not to mess around with drag queens cause those *itches are crazy. Okay, not at all of them (just most of them). A gay club here in Dallas has learned their lesson and wants to limit access of cross dressers to their establishment.

According to Crews Inn co-owner David Moore “Drag queens act like they are divas and think they can do no wrong,” Moore said. “They have stolen money straight off the bar, hassled costumers for drinks and locked themselves in the bathroom with a bunch of guys. And with Tuesday being our busiest night, there is just no way for me to keep the drag queens under control then. I don’t want drag queens in here that are going to misbehave.”
So Moore plans to ban transgender women and drag queens from his club that one night a week, Tuesdays. Nicknamed “Trashy Tuesday” the Crews Inn has become a popular place to be on Tuesday nights in Dallas because of the cheap drink prices and nearly naked, toned men dancing for tips.

"How do I separate one drag queen that is being bad from others?” Moore said. “We don’t have the time on Tuesday nights with all the people in here to sit there and tell them apart from one another. If a drag queen misbehaves one week and then the next comes back in a different outfit I wouldn’t be able to recognize them. That’s why I don’t want any of them in here on Tuesdays.”

Moore is aware of the Dallas City Ordinance prohibiting discrimination in housing, employment and public accommodations. However he believes law enforcement will support him because "costumers appearance must match their picture ID." Source.

I don't know, Moore better watch out, one of those drag queens is likely to take off one of their high heel shoes and take their anger out on his skull. Besides, discrimination is discrimination, it's wrong. I see no difference in this and the attempts to ban blacks from white gay clubs because they "say" we are to "loud and cause trouble."

Growing Acceptance of Gays in US Military



From the Washington Post: Seventy-five percent of Americans in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll said gay people who are open about their sexual orientation should be allowed to serve in the U.S. military, up from 62 percent in early 2001 and 44 percent in 1993.

Changing attitudes on the issue parallel broader swings in public views about homosexuality. In their recent review of 20 years of polling data, the Pew Research Center reported "a major shift away from highly negative attitudes toward gays and support for punitive actions against gays." In the 2007 Pew data, for example, 28 percent said local school boards should have the right to fire teachers known to be gay; that was down sharply from the 51 percent who said so in 1987.

Failure To Disclose HIV Status Leads To Conviction

Anti-Gay Public Leaders Involved In Gay Sex

Have you noticed that the people who protest the loudest against something tend to be the ones most guilty of the very thing they are protesting against? Last week we learned of the lawsuit involving the Bishop Kenneth Wayne Carter of Ft Worth, Texas accused of sexually assaulting a minister applying for a job as his personal "driver." Bishop Carter (pic on the left) of the CME church has a history of preaching against homosexuality and opposing gay rights. He has been suspended from all church duties by the Christian Methodist Episcopal's College of Bishops. (See Rod Online)

Now comes another anti-gay public official caught in the act of homosexual behavior. Alabama attorney general Troy King (pic to the right) was recently caught by his wife Paige in bed with a male aide - in fact, a former "Homecoming King" from King's undergraduate days at Troy University - and subsequently thrown out of the couple's house.

King is known for his strong anti-gay rhetoric such as:

"I often hear the argument that homosexuals who live together create a loving, caring family environment, perhaps an environment which is even superior to that which can be provided by a heterosexual couple. In this day of rampant decadence, many homosexuals would mislead society into believing that three men, an armadillo and a house plant create a functional family."

Also, the elected official has said:

"Currently, AIDS is the most behavior-oriented disease known to mankind. If this nation's current purveyors of perversion would refrain from committing sodomy, they would unquestioningly be spared the ravages of the disease." Read more.

Two prominent officials in the community, two anti-gay hypocrites. The bible says judge not lest ye be judged. These two men should have heeded the advice of the scripture. Unfortunately there are so many more like them yet to be exposed.
