another, this time local, victim of hate

Published by duane April 21st, 2009 in listen up!, near and dear, that is so gay, tragic and wtf?!. 3 Comments

This completely breaks my heart: 11 year old boy named Jaheem Herrera, commits suicide to escape bullying and taunting from fellow classmates (h/t to my friend Joey who posted the link earlier this afternoon). I don’t know if anyone even read the piece that I wrote last week about this EXACT thing happening to another [...]

a concrete example of how the anti-gay movement in this country is so dangerous

“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 [...]

voting based on the actual issues, not ignorance, fear, or willful defiance

Shit. I just wrote and incredibly long post about why I can’t understand how people are going to let ignorance get in the way of the facts in voting this election, but apparently, my CPU usage has been exceeded, and when I tried to save it, WP ate it. Mainly this sudden desire to talk [...]

brothers and sisters and mother’s day

Published by duane May 12th, 2008 in all about me, near and dear and that is so gay. 7 Comments

The season finale of Brothers and Sisters was magnificent. The wedding between Kevin and Scotty was gorgeous and touching. It was moving to see two men get married on TV, and it be treated as a joyous event. I couldn’t help but find it a bit fitting, though, that it aired on Mother’s day, and [...]

how many times must this be said before it actually changes?

In this clip, Ellen speaks about something very real and very dangerous, and unfortuantely, something that affects us all; HATE: Seeing this clip (thanks to vanyel) makes me wonder AGAIN, why this isn’t common knowledge, and it makes me wonder how many times we are going to have to say this before it actually changes.

britney lost the kids to KEVIN?

Published by duane October 2nd, 2007 in britney n' k-fed and tragic. 8 Comments

I’m actually surprised by this, because anyone can clearly see that Kevin is no more fit to parent than Britney. In fact, I would look at the judge square in the eye, and say, “do you realize, that he walked out on his pregnant girlfriend to be with Britney? Please explain how that makes him [...]

buying things will take your mind off of it…

So James and I came home from the vet frustrated with our situation yesterday, because we really weren’t getting much in the way of answers from the people at Banfield. With our frustration, we called to speak with the vet, and honestly, she took about 15 minutes to really talk with me, which did make [...]

RIP Tammy Faye

Published by duane July 21st, 2007 in near and dear, show the love and tragic. 17 Comments

I just wanted to write out a few thoughts, and offer my condolences to the family of Tammy Faye; a kind, gentle, beautiful, honorable, and wonderful soul. Tammy, you will be missed. You embraced the gay community, despite the hate the Christian community wanted you to push onto us. You helped people see that we [...]

thanks and thoughts

I wanted to say thanks to everyone that sent well wishes and stuff the other day; I was just in a weird spot, and I honestly was thinking too much for my own good. I have this incredible ability to let something minuscule turn into a huge festering thing in my mind, all because I [...]

I think that I expect too much sometimes

Published by duane July 18th, 2007 in all about me, hmm interesting, is it just me? and near and dear. 15 Comments

Perhaps all of the time. I think that I get my feelings hurt, or am disappointed, because I expect too much. Is it possible, that I put too much thought, guilt, worry, or anxiety into relationships, so much so, that I inadvertently cause the situation to go all weird? I wouldn’t think that this would [...]
