more hate from the catholic church
Published by November 12th, 2009 in civil rights, politics, that is so gay, tragic, well? and wtf?!. 4 CommentsMaine votes against gay marriage: some thoughts
Published by November 4th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 8 CommentsYesterday, Maine’s vote sent a(nother) clear message to me: gay people do not matter to the majority of Americans. I am sure that many will argue that this is not the position of most Americans, but the message is too clear to ignore. Our civil rights are constantly up for debate, and constantly, we have [...]
no 5SF this week, but some great news
Published by October 23rd, 2009 in all about me, civil rights, happenings, listen up!, politics and that is so gay. 0 CommentsAs you may notice, there is no five song Friday occupying its regular slot this week; I have had a really bad week (from being sick to the hot water heater woes to school work overload), so I am taking a break. I need to write up my concert experience from Mat Kearney last Friday [...]
Atlanta Eagle raid reponse: I’m calling bullshit
Published by September 15th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, that is so gay, well? and wtf?!. 8 CommentsThe Chief of the Atlanta police says that the reason the Eagle was raided is because of complaints of (as well as undercover cops witnessing) sex acts and drugs being used. Yet, interestingly enough, no drugs were found when the raid happened. Perhaps most importantly, and why I am calling total and utter bullshit on [...]
Atlanta gay bar, The Eagle raided
Published by September 11th, 2009 in civil rights, listen up!, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 8 CommentsUPDATE on the Eagle raid: I no longer THINK this was discriminatory, I know it was. This comment literally send shivers down my spine: Du-Wayne Ray, store manager of Rawhide Leather, which operates below the Eagle, said that he and one of his employees heard one white uniformed officer say to another, “This is a [...]
a lot of little things really add up
Published by September 11th, 2009 in civil rights, hmm interesting, is it just me?, that is so gay, venting and wtf?!. 3 CommentsI just took a survey in order for $20 credit added to my account for a website I bought a product from. To be quite honest, I was sort of offended that I was not given any option other than single, married, widowed, divorced, or separated in the relationship question field. Since none of those [...]
um, thanks… FOR NOTHING
Published by June 18th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, listen up!, near and dear, politics, that is so gay, venting, well? and wtf?!. 0 CommentsIt seems that my outrage yesterday was a little less than it should have been. Turns out, the gesture Obama tried to placate us with, was worth nothing: The memorandum Obama signed Wednesday is not expected to grant health and retirement benefits to same-sex partners, as that is prohibited under the Defense of Marriage Act.

um, thanks?
Published by June 17th, 2009 in civil rights, listen up!, politics, that is so gay, well? and wtf?!. 3 CommentsAm I the only one who thinks that Obama’s recent act of granting benefits to same sex couples is kind of, well, a cop out? First of all, it is only for federal employees, which is definitely nice, since I work for the government, and know many people that will be able to take advantage [...]
STFU
Published by April 30th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsA couple of weeks ago, it was ignorant Prejean, blabbing her opinion on the “gay lifestyle”, and her beliefs about gay marriage. She kept talking after the incident, and went so far as to claim that people choose to be gay. Clearly, she chose to be a heterosexual, and barely escaped a lesbian lifestyle. All [...]
a concrete example of how the anti-gay movement in this country is so dangerous
Published by April 16th, 2009 in civil rights, near and dear and that is so gay. 0 Comments“Hey Faggot”. “You are such a little pussy”. “Look, he’s not even a boy, he’s definitely a sissy little girl”. “You’re gay”. These are all phrases that I despise hearing, but I heard them, and several other colorful variations, MANY times all throughout my 12 years of public school. There were many times I would [...]
