Sunday, March 25. 2007Hey, Hillary. Remind me why I'm supposed to go to the mat for you againMonday, March 19. 2007Largo: Injustice Under the Florida Sun What happens when a popular and well-regarded city manager of a small city in Florida comes out as a transgendered person? All hell breaks loose, of course.Steve Stanton is Largo's universally respected city manager. None of the members of the city commission had mooted the slightest hint of criticism of his performance in running the small city, near St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay. But when he took the courageous step to acknowledge publicly his own internally felt sense of gender identity and announced that he intended to transition from male to female, he was summarily terminated by the city commission. To compound the injustice, the Largo city police arrested Nadine Smith, an African American lesbian who is executive director of Equality Florida (the statewide LGBT organization in Florida), when she went to Largo to protest this clear act of discrimination based on gender identity. That violent arrest was really more a physical assault on her by a police officer who was trying to prevent her from distributing flyers in support of Steve Stanton at a meeting of the Largo City Commission.

So last week I was trying to find the Shirley Manson Calvin Klein ad from back in the '90's (please don't ask - I'm just totally obsessed with Garbage and sometimes the obsession takes over my brain), and I was reminded of model/actress/mechanic Jenny Shimizu. How freakin' hot is she? Now on the Kinsey Scale I'm about a 5 (predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual), if not a 5.5. I'm not one of those people who was ever confused, I've never had sex with a woman, and I have never experienced a flicker of eroticism toward the fairer sex. But I would really like Jenny Shimizu to fuck me. No, I don't want to fuck her. I want her to peg me. (You don't know what pegging is? What kind of queer are you? Click here to find out, and then thank Dan Savage for existing.) But wait a minute...? What does that mean? Continue reading "Queerer and Queerer..." Thursday, March 15. 2007And you are saying that I am immoral? The Bay Area Reporter reported that top military general, Marine General Peter Pace, called homosexual acts between individuals immoral. But seriously, a-hole General Pace, do you really hink that killing people is moral? I don't care what your rationale is, but killing? — now that is immoral.Good luck to your soul. Tuesday, March 13. 2007Bitter me My partner and I have gotten two straight wedding invitations in a row yesterday. Seriously, two in a day. Honestly, I was not happy and I felt extremely bitter. It reminds me how angry I feel towards our straight friends who do not speak up for their underprivileged friends. It reminds me how bitter I feel being in straight weddings because I realize that we will probably never have that experience (whether I want it or not). It reminds me that we cannot legally get married, enjoy the same federal and state benefits as hetrosexual married couples (whether I want them or not).

This past Saturday night, a packed Theatre at Madison Square Garden rocked to the beat of one of the most energetic, and definitely gayest music groups I've ever seen perform - Scissor Sisters.
 I wouldn't have expected less from a band named after a lesbian sex position! It was refreshing to hear good vocals, combined with a passion for what they do so well - perform & entertain packed venues. They started in 2001 and from the last time I saw them play at Bowery Ballroom, this band has definitely grown up! You may have caught their latest video of "I Don't Feel Like Dancin'" on Logo, or even read or seen them in "Out Magazine's list of Top 100 gay and lesbian success stories of 2006". In any case, if you have never heard them, or of them - do yourself a favor, and run, don't walk, to your nearest CD store. And maybe soon we can start a petition for them to return to their original name - Dead Lesbian and the Fibrillating Scissor Sisters. Wednesday, March 7. 2007A 55-Year Old Virgin So, finally! Our favorite female financier has publicly come out in an interview with NY Times Magazine.I would normally ask - what's the big deal? The more the merrier, and well, it was about time my suspicions were confirmed! But (now this is Suze Orman talk), "girlfriend! What do you mean you're a 55-Year Old Virgin?" Now, I may love her show (particularly that section "Can I Afford It?"), and will continue to keep her on my DVR, but I find it outrageous that she defines virginity as that which can only be lost when a man and a woman have sex! I can't help but wonder how this makes K.T., her life partner, feel? How would YOU feel? Tuesday, March 6. 2007Conservapedia? Fuck yeah! The Guardian reports that the Christian Right has taken on the evildoers at Wikipedia. That's right, Wikipedia promotes Satanism. Wikipedia is WIKID, full of demons, evil Evil EVIL!!!. When good ol' Andy Schlafly, founder of Conservapedia, tried to edit Wikipedia entries, his changes were erased by wikid editors. He had no other option than to establish insert cherubic choir Conservapedia...and they say God smiles upon us? He's laughing his ass off. Shlafly's vision of honest and correct encyclopedic entries can be inferred from reading the list of Wikipedia's sins posted on Conservapedia. Truth, he implies, is full of praise for Jesus and full of praise for America and full of spite towards commies, queers, and foreign languages. Oh, and by the way, "You will much prefer using Conservapedia compared to Wikipedia if you want concise answers free of "political correctness" (from the site's friendly home page). So correctness has nothing to do with correctness, correct? Continue reading "Conservapedia? Fuck yeah!" |
