homophobic

During last year's Folsom Street Fair, I posted, on September 28, 2007, the following entitled, "Playing Into The Hands Of The Homophobes" regarding what I thought then as now was a counterproductive phenomenon that our enemies would use against us. This is a comment I made regarding that post:"The last thing we want to do is enable the oppressor to be able to play the 'victim' who has 'been righ

There’s a bar I go to quite regularly. I normally drop in for a beer in the early evening, not that I’m a big drinker, just that it gets me out of the house and away from my computer for a couple of hours. Working from home you need a few places to “escape to” [...]

I really don't see the Mr T Snickers advert as homophobic.For those who haven't seen it, the advert shows Mr T firing Snickers from a machine gun at a man in running shorts while he heckles him, shouting "Speed walking, I pity you fool, you're a disgrace to the man race."Although his bottom jiggles at the beginning and a popular gay stereotype is the effeminate man, I think you'd have to read a lo

When someone (in this case, a man) is virulently homophobic and then is caught with his pants down (so to speak), with a man in his and his wife's bed, the hypocrisy is enormous, to say the least. What makes this story so important is not merely the hypocrisy that is evidenced, but the source of a great deal of the animus that lies behind homophobia itself.Alabama's Republican Attorney General, T

It's 10:30am here in Homophobic Singapore. Just for the record, I just woke up and here I am -- sitting in front typing away with my laptop. I know it's super early to blog but I really do not have any choice because I'm going out later on and probably will be back home late and so I thought, NOW is the best time to blog.I've done checking my mailbox. I'm done with youtube and ecetera. And right now, I have an issue to talk about.No. This is not any parliament house okay. This is not a forum of any kind where you can contest yourself as the president for the next upcoming presidential election, hunney. This is my online shrine and I don't need anyone to worship me in anyway.HOMOPHOBES. HOMOPHOBIC. HOMO BASTARDS. Anything else you want to add?? And oh, does HOMOphobia count? HahaEveryone in

The Liberal Democrats have launched a campaign to end homophobic bullying in schools across the U.K.The call is for the following to support and protect the victims of homophobic bullying:1. Homophobic taunts and name calling in schools should be challenged immediately by staff.2. All schools' anti-bullying policies should be required to include measures specifically to deal with homophobic bullying.3. At least one teacher in every school should undergo training which includes how to tackle homophobic bullying.Please sign the petition which will be sent to the House of Commons and Lords as part on ongoing work to amend the current Education and Inspections Bill to tackle this problem-homophobic-bullying.html

Young people have a tough time these days, the media portrays them as yobs, hooligans and gang members. But the media isn’t anywhere near as hard on kids as they are on each other, especially when concerning lesbian, gay or bisexual issues. Coming out as gay or bisexual or been “outed” by your peers can be [...]

CULTURE WATCH by Nancy MorganThe powers that be have decreed that homosexuality and all its variations are normal, and woe to anyone who dares question this alternate lifestyle. Homosexuality has been added to the list of topics, along with race and global warming, that is off limits for discussion. The debate has been declared over.Homosexuality, which not very long ago was defined as a "disorder" in medical journals, is well on its way to becoming a lifestyle option. Despite the fact that it is based on a premise which has been thoroughly discredited.The normalization of homosexuality has its genesis in 1948, when Alfred Kinsey published the first ever study of male human sexuality. Entitled the Kinsey Report, this research involved illegal sexual experimentation on several hundred youn

Today I went through a very painful situation.The relationship with my father has always been tense to say the least. Well, my father let it be known today that somehow he had been living with the idea that Gina and I were just roommates - even after I came out publicly before we filed for partnership four years ago. The kicker is that his position is that being gay is a choice, and that I chose to be gay and he doesn’t accept that. Basically he feels embarrassment at the thought of telling his friends that his daughter is a lesbian.I think he has this picture in his mind of lesbian life being the equivalent of an adult movie.I can understand how he might think that because of the portrayal of gays and lesbians in the media. Yet I don’t know what to do with that information, because re

Lesbiatopia Gets Spanked By DiggWell friends and readers it did not take us here at Lesbiatopia long before we have reluctantly found ourselves entering the realm of controversy as it would seem that Lesbiatopia has been banned by the internet book marking service Digg, for displaying Adult content. But it is our option that our banning has more to do with a homophobic and misogynistic group think element by a of a small number of Digg users that tends to only wish to promote their personal views on homosexuality, lesbians and women in general.Digg likes to promote itself as a non-hierarchical community-based popularity website, that uses a form of democratic editorial control were news stories and websites that are submitted by Digg users. Digg users then promote these submissions to the front page through a user-based ranking system.But in the past Digg and its system has been not been without criticism.Digg has been accused by some of allowing companies to pay members of the inner

As a person, who has actually worked her ass off locking up and crushing the nuts of sex offenders, I am so sick of all the hysteria over keeping track of where convicted perverts live, and such things as preventing them from lurking near Santa's Village on the mall.Only a very few of the molesters are boogeymen jumping out of the brush. It is just a bunch of crap designed to scare people and make us think the government is actually doing something about the problem.The truth is most perverts are fathers, uncles and Scout masters.And the ones to watch most carefully are those who hate gay people the most. Like Roman Catholic priests—and Sea Scout leaders.Eugene Evans is a retired high school teacher, who has been a Sea Scout leader for thirty five years. Apparently the Sea Scouts are like the Boy Scouts, except they aim to keep the Oceans gay-free. Mr. Evans sued the city of Berkeley because they would not permit the Sea Scouts to dock there rent-free, due to the Scout policy

Thanks to Archbishop Desmond Tutu for saying that in a critique of the Anglican church. Here is the article: In an interview with BBC Radio 4, he said the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, had failed to demonstrate that God is "welcoming". He also repeated accusations that the Church was "obsessed" with the issue of gay priests. He said it should rather be focusing on global problems such as Aids. "Our world is facing problems - poverty, HIV and Aids - a devastating pandemic, and conflict," said Archbishop Tutu, 76. "God must be weeping looking at some of the atrocities that we commit against one another.(Read More)

If this is the direction in which the PAP government is taking with the subject of homosexuality in Singapore, then there is no hope left for us. I hope this is the (immature) view of one party member and not the government as a whole. Or maybe it is. Even if the government is totally against homosexuality, I’m sure the MIWs would have thought of a more mature and logical argument than this fella did. Imagine men walking hand in hand with other men down Orchard Road, kissing, fondling and making out. For that matter, imagine all that taking place on the MRT. Instead of teachers dealing with boy-girl relationships, teachers would have to deal with boy-boy relationships. Then, you might have the homosexuals all over Asia descending upon Singapore to flaunt what they cannot in their own countries. [Link to the Young PAP post by Nicholas Lazarus via Tomorrow.sg] Like, what the fuck ….! I can’t believe such immaturity, naivety and blatant narrow-mindedness exists in the P

Ok, I was going to do something totally non-gay today, but I just can't resist reporting this one.Rob Garber is the straight guy who has been totally screwed by homophobia.A while back Rob's wife moved in with another woman and took the last name of her new squeeze. There was an amicable divorce, and Rob agreed to pay his ex $1,250 a month in alimony.What he didn't know was the two women had registered with California as domestic partners under a law that was supposed to mirror marriage law .When he discovered this, the guy reasoned, quite logically, that he was no longer obligated to make the payments, since California law provides that alimony terminates when the spouse remarries.But a judge disagreed.The court ruled the domestic partner registration did not constitute marriage.Now, I think it highly likely the chick is a cunt for taking the money under these circumstances. After all, if California had permitted her to marry her gf she would have.However, this is just one exam

I am about the only person I know who is not trashing Lindsay Lohan. This morning Melanie, upon learning about Miss Lohan's most recent arrest in Santa Monica, couldn't wait to do the ususal nah nee nah --I told you so.Lindsay is a talented beautiful young girl who is deeply troubled—probably in many ways. But there is a pattern here .Like the arrest in May, yesterday's occurred in the aftermath of an argument with gf Samantha Ronson.Since Lindsay seems to believe that exchanging messages on MySpace is as private as a whisper in a high school hallway, it was not surprising when it all leaked out.During her stay in Rehab she was writing stuff like:“Babe, if I don’t have you in my life then I should just go die. … I want to marry you and have children with you.”I find it significant this was written doing the course of rehab, where patients are facing their inner demons.The celeb magazines delight in playing the gay card these days, and so all these rumors get tossed

What’s the deal of defending this motherfocker homophobic?I don’t get it.This stupid petition is not gonna go anywhere.These stupid brainless gays should be ashamed of themselves!!Shut up bitches !Let this Homophobic asshole have what he deserves!! ISAIAH Washington is getting some unexpected support in his bid to return to “Grey’s Anatomy” - a petition drive spearheaded by a prominent lesbian and gay activist who insists he shouldn’t have been axed for his homophobic remarks against co-star T.R. Knight. Jasmyne Cannick, who worked with Washington on the Pan African Arts Festival, said she’s infuriated ABC booted Washington from the show’s upcoming fourth season for calling Knight a “faggot” during a scuffle on the set and believes it smacks of racism. So she’s launched a petition - which had 1,233 signatures as of last night - to get the actor his job back. The petition says Washington’s firing “further

I can’t contain my happiness for this asshole getting the boot from Grey’s .This fucking piece of shit deserves it.Good riddance!!.Now i will hit back to watch Grey’s again!! The speculation is over: After a controversial season, Isaiah Washington will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy, his rep and ABC Television Studio have confirmed. Howard Bragman, Washington’s publicist, says Washington’s option was not renewed, and released this statement from the actor: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.” Bragman did not elaborate on the statement, a reference to the 1976 film Network. The cast was notified Thursday night of the final decision, which, says a source close to the situation, was a long time coming. In the end, the source says, Washington’s behavior made him a liability. Rumors ran rampant following the season finale – during which Washington’s character, Dr. Preston Burke, broke up

The boy king has nominated Dr. James Holsinger for the post of Surgeon General. As you may know, the Surgeon General’s primary role is to educate the public on health issues using the best scientific information available. And what qualifications does the good doctor have that says he’s the best candidate for the job? He and his wife are the founders of an anti-gay group that declares being homosexual a “lifestyle choice” that one can walk away from with the help of their “re-education” program. Such conversion type programs have been soundly repudiated by major medical associations including the American Psychological Association for years. The good doctor has also written a paper where he explicitly attacks homosexual men using the lame “parts fitting together” argument as evidence that sex between men is bad, bad, bad. The paper also explains how this argument is justification for not believing that gay people should be entitled

Before Grey’s Anatomy star T. R. Knight came out to PEOPLE last year, some advised him not to do it, he says in a new interview. While friends were “beautifully supportive,” Knight, 34, tells The Advocate in its June 19 issue, others cautiously advised him, “Don’t do it – don’t do it now.” Looking back, he says, “I remember saying to someone when I got one of those ‘don’t do it’ [comments] – I just remember hearing my voice being calm and saying, ‘No, it’s going happen. It’s going to happen. I’m just letting you know.’ ” Ultimately, he’s glad he decided to come out after castmate Isaiah Washington referred to him on-set by a homophobic slur. “I made the decision to make a statement,” he says. “I could have not [spoken up]. I could have retreated. But I’m definitely happy I made the decision.” (Washington has since apologized.) Knight told PE

Cory Andrews inquires about serving in the military, and is told to “go back to Africa”  Nice to know our country’s recruiters aren’t desperate enough for Iraq volunteers to subdue their racism.   Not only is the unnamed recruiter a bigot and homophobe, but a complete moron as well.  Who’s dumb enough to bait an internet/media savvy 20something into throwing digs about their race and sexual orientation?  At ANY job insulting a potential client in the worse way, (through TRACKABLE e-mail), will certainly get you fired.  Oh wait, the recruiter wasn’t fired yet, only placed on leave.  Nice.  I certainly hope the recruiters never make it to the front lines, and stick to the strip mall store fronts where they belong.  A better video is found on CNN.com WPvideo 1.10 Share This

Best Week Ever points to the recent Super Bowl ad for Snickers, calling it out on account of irresponsibly using a brand to support homophobia. The ad involves two mechanics sharing a Snickers by mouth due to dirty hands and accidentally lip-locking. As such, they instantly propose to do something "manly" and pull out their chest hair to make-up for the queerness. However, Snickers had also set up a site with "disgusted audience reactions" and alternate endings to the manly-endings, including drinking poison and beating each other up. Not surprisingly, especially with all the outcries of what's "appropriate" to show during the uber-testosterone-fondlefumble-fest, there are already complaints forming. Perhaps Snickers listened or was hacked, for as of now, the site simply redirects to the regular Snickers homepage.tags technorati : commercial homophobia snickers super bowl

According to a report in the U.K's Hemel Gazette, the Catholic Church "is abdicating its responsibility for children's welfare by refusing to target homophobic bullying in schools." Evidently, the church has rejected repeated calls to institute any sort of policy for preventing homophobic bullying on school grounds.Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT union, is quoted as saying, "The Catholic Church is abdicating its responsibility to look after the health and well-being of youngsters." The article also notes that victims of homophobic bullying are not necessarily homosexual but may be labeled as such based on their appearance.Tags: Catholic church, church, religion, homophobia, bullying, education
