randallr01:
The bottom line is clear: LGBT Americans are tired of having to defend ourselves. We are tired of having to ask, beg or demand our rights under the Constitution (which, time will find, are already granted to us).
What certain people of faith refuse to grasp is that this country is not a…

archaeohell replied to your post: the magical power of any destiny’s child song to immediately transmutate any gay man into beyonce.
Gay Men Legion. We are many. We are one. We are Beyonce.

Is Lack of a Sense of Humor a Dangerous Thing?
Yesterday, as Hurricane Irene was approaching, there was an item that began popping up throughout a few of the LGBT media outlets, the first one I noticed was Instinct magazine* online, that purported some religious fundamentalist group was blaming the hurricane on New York’s recent passing of the marriage equality bill. Sure enough, it was picked up by someone who then commented on it in...

Personal Update for All Interested Parties
I’ve been getting messages, posts to my Facebook wall, texts & tweets, all concerned for me and my safety as Hurricane Irene comes barreling this way to take a bite out of the Big Apple. I guess I’ve maybe been a bit derelict in my many social media duties (Meanwhile…When the f*ck did it become a job with ‘duties’ anyway and why the hell am I not getting paid for...

Make a Blood Donation Appointment | American Red... →
Blood is needed desperately in nearly all disaster recovery efforts. The problem is: medical teams need it before the disaster strikes, right? I just thought I’d remind everyone who is able to donate, now would be a really good time to do so.

McInerney Defense: King Harassed, Targeted... →
I think this comment on the Advocate article sums it up perfectly:
“Let’s assume that every single word of this is true. In fact, let’s assume it’s just the tip of the iceburg [sic], and that in fact King was coming to school every day in halter tops and Daisy Dukes with Tammy Faye Bakker makeup, swaddled in the rainbow flag, blowing kisses and throwing roses at all the...

homotronic:
They’ve accepted some huge fallacies (that they created, though lets not be too confused about this, they are extremists, but they’re still operating within the trope of christianity) as being irrefutable. One of those fallacies is that any opposition they come against is, in fact, proof that…

McInerney Could Get Off With Manslaughter →
I’m not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand: he is a kid. The thought of his future being ruined by serving a life term in prison does not appeal to me, certainly. But on the other hand: this “Gay Panic” defense simply must stop being used anywhere for anything if we’re ever to make it past all the homophobia and fear in our culture.

Truthful Tuesday: I Feel Like Such A Failure
Last month, I ran into a woman who lives in my building walking a dog, a little Yorkie-mix that looked kind of beat up and was really timid when Louis (my dog) approached. Turns out, she was fostering the dog for a friend who had found the pup abandoned & in terrible shape in a local park, Inwood Hill. We chatted for a bit about how awful it was that someone would be so cruel and then I went...

CANCELLED - 'A Rose For Tyler' Tribute Walk →
My original post announcing the tribute walk was reblogged several times in the past two days, so I thought I should repost this notice. The walk, sadly, has been cancelled this year. You can find further details by following the link to my post.

POZ – Newsfeed : Ryan White CARE Act Turns 21 →
Reading this article has riled up some unexpected anger and a renewed sadness in me. I’m sad that we don’t hear Ryan White’s name more often. I know there have been lots of tireless & brave people who’ve joined in the fight against HIV/AIDS through the years, Elizabeth Glaser comes to mind. But Ryan was just a boy, which makes his bravery seem even more...

randallr01 | Bert & Ernie, no homo:
Sadly, when viewing a same-sex relationship, antigay people can ONLY see sex. They refuse to realize that LGBT rights + the fight for equality are about love. It’s ridiculous & pathetic. And that’s the bottom line. Thankfully for humanity, we are progressing daily & progress
I agree with this totally. However, I would like to make an...

Ecstacy - A New Cure For Cancer? →
jockohomo:
“Newly-published research from scientists at the University of Birmingham shows significant success in “redesigning the designer drug” for potential use as a cancer-killing agent in the treatment of leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma.”
Damn! If my younger, wilder days are any indication — my ass better be cancer-free, Bishes!

Gay Dating and the “Average Joe” →
I really like this article’s directness & honesty in advising us single Gay men, but there was one bit that was a little troubling to me, as I explained in my comment:
There is SO much great advice here, thanks for that! It’s refreshing to read dating/relationship advice that’s not written in general, gender-neutral terms, but specifically (and honestly) aimed at our experiences as Gay...

In a comment thread about the announcement from Sesame Street that Bert & Ernie will never marry, a commenter stated that Preschoolers should never be exposed to sexuality in any way, for they are incapable of understanding sexuality at their age.
My response was this:
Do you support…
Eloquently put!

It is unbearably unbearable to be that in which you despise. I am a crystal meth addict and I hate crystal meth. I usually hate it’s users, too. They are, for the most part, shady. and make bad friends. Believe me, I have been in this enviroment and community for the better part of 10…
