Supportive Mom Lets Son Be A Girl

This article is so heartwarming. To hear about a mother who is so compassionate and understanding that she accepts her son as a girl is so wonderful.

This child, born a boy, has decided to live life as a girl, and her mother is in complete support of it. This is so wonderful that the child can have that kind of support, especially since she's not going to get it from anywhere else. It truly shows how much parents are learning and willing to accept from their children these days. How inspirational!

Local Issue: Nashville and Knox sued over site banning

Thank god someone is finally standing up to the bull shit school systems in Tennessee. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing both the Nashville and Knox county school systems because they are using internet site-blocking systems that block websites that are LBGT-friendly.

This is not to say that they are blocking pornographic LGBT sites; those sites are covered under the pornographic definition. These sites that are so wrongfully blocked discuss LGBT issues that are essential to making sure people know what the hell is going on in the world of LGTB---aka, they are important and should not be blocked. However, people are idiots and dont care what really matters.

The suit is being held in honor of several high school students who cannot argue in a court of law because they are minors.

Away for Vacation

In case you were wondering why i was neglecting my blog for the passed week, it was because i went to Disney World with my bf, Danny. It's my one vacation for the year because I'm in school 11 out of the 12 months of this year, which is very sad. So....may was my open month, so i made a trip out of it.

Fortunately, i have a friend who works for Disney in the logistics department, so not only did danny and i get into the park for free, we also had a place to stay for free. It went from being a $2000-minimum trip to a $0 trip, less the cost of food. Yay!!!

It was such a fun trip for danny and me to take. I feel like we got a lot closer than we already were which is very good.

Anywho, now i'm back and ill start making posts again. Sorry for the break i took if you suffered a bunch.

"Slash" Fiction: Cpt. Kirk and Spock


I thought this was hilarious! Apparently, when one thinks about two fictional characters who have some sort of relationship getting it on, it's called a "slash" fiction. I think that's so funny.

Anyways, after recently Star Trek in Imax, i've decided that i would die to see the guys playing Kirk and Spock to make out on screen. That would be so unbelievably hot to me! WOOO!

Gay Marriages Going Strong in Mass.


It's really good to hear how successful gay marriages are in Massachusetts, several years after being legalized. The stories that this article talk about are so heartwarming and dear. To hear about the lives these couples have built, especially those with supportive children, are so inspirational. I truly recommend everyone should read this article.

This Could Be a Good Thing for the LGBT Community


Rumors are circulating that two lesbians are under consideration for replacing the soon-to-retire Supreme Court Justice, David Souter. This would be a great stride for gay rights nationally, as these women could possibly influence getting more bills passed in gays' favor.

Obama Better Recognize

An article in the New York Times brought to light the idea and politics behind Obama finally having to take notice that gay marriage is moving to the fore front of politics right now. With all these states making gay marriage, it is going to Obama's desk, and he's going to have to make several decisions. Having already forgotten about repealing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell military policy, he'll have to bring that back up. He may also end up taking us up on his word to repeal the Defense of Marriage act set in place in '96, which would be a huge step forward! Yay for progress!

UK Takes a Stand Against Phelps



Several members of the Westboro Baptist Church, including spokesperson Fred Phelps, have been banned from entering the United Kingdom. The ban comes from the Home Office Senator Jacqui Smith, saying they're on the list for "seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts and fostering hatred which might lead to inter-community violence."

It's about to someone with power started to put these idiots in their place. Some of the members plan to sue over the act, not understanding why they've been named on a list that also includes the names of terrorists.

NOM Strikes Again...And Completely Misses the Point

The National Organization for Marriage released yet another stupid commercial ad calling people to support their ignoramus cause. This time they used Carrie Prejean and recent 15 minutes of fame against Perez Hilton to pull votes in for their cause. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your stance) their efforts vastly fail.


Their new ad campaign line though, is quite interesting. And yet, easy to shutdown. They are claiming that any organization, company, church group, or business that would be against gay marriage or gay people's rights would in effect be shutdown, and that this is completely unfair.


But, if we pause and think, why would these businesses be shut down? Not because some government force would swoop in and deem them unconstitutional or some bull like that, no, the general population (comprised of gay people) would simply not take their business there anymore. That's common marketplace tactics. If people think you're racist/bigoted/close-minded asshole, they're not gonna shop at your place of business. Sorry if people care about their integrity.




Then some idiot decides to get on national television and have this stupid idea of businesses needing protection from being shutdown completly torn to pieces by this brilliant newscaster. O i love the world we're slowly moving into.

Religion does NOT give you power over me

I'm sorry, i just have to bitch for a quick second. I really hate it when people say, "God says gay marriage is wrong. Therefore, you can't do it."

IT MAKES ME SO F#*&^% ANGRY!

Why do they think they have any right to tell me what to do? Marriage is NOT a christian institution. I don't know whether it started out that way or not, but today tons of people that aren't christian are allowed to marry. Why can't gay people then? There is no argument against gay marriage that is legitimately based in fact. None.

Gay people do NOT raise gay children. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any gay people to begin with.
Gay people do NOT force their lifestyles upon you. I don't want to hang out with someone who hates me.
Gay people do NOT want special rights. You can get married. I can't. I want what you already have.
Gay people do NOT recruit straight people. Did you choose to be straight? No you didn't. Nor did i choose to be gay.
Gay people do NOT want you to deny your God. You believe in God? Good for you. I don't. What's the big deal?
Gay people do NOT want you to like them. I don't know you. I probably wouldn't like you. You don't have to like me either.

We are NOT out to get you. We just want equal rights for equal people. What I choose to do in my spare time with whom i choose is none of your business. Just let me do what i want, and ill let you do the exact same thing.

More Americans Support Gay Marriage Than Oppose It


An interesting study conducted by ABC news/Washington post. By phone, over 1000+ people were randomly called and surveyed on their opinions on gay marriage, and for the first time, more supported than opposed! How exciting is that?

AFA Attacks Miley Cyrus

Due to Miley's recent Tweets to Perez Hilton about how much in support of gay marriage she is, the AFA (American Family Association) is calling of its members to boycott Hannah Montana and stand up against Miley because they believe she is sending completely the wrong message to all of her devoted fans and "clearly does not understand the Bible."

Rachel Maddow addresses the issue on her time.

Massive Stand-up against Westboro Idiots

In Orange County, California, Corono Del Mar high school students put on a production of Rent. Opening night, the Westboro Church of Idiots showed up to protest the play, and guess what happened? Against the 5-10 people that showed to protest in hate, a whole community of 300+ people showed up to protest for the play. What a grand display of the support of people being able to do what they want.

Truly a success for the books.

Ignorance Empowering Idiocy Against Gay Marriage

The Iowa Family Policy Center released a video about a married couple whose son died of a cancer caused by HIV, saying that their son claimed homosexuality was only a cult and that the people involved were all unhappy and miserable. The family is against gay marriage because of their son's tragic death and life in homosexuality.

It really makes me so mad that these people think it's all a choice, like we want to make ourselves miserable by being gay. For one, being gay isn't miserable. What's miserable is seeing all these people hate you and look down upon you for what makes you who you are. It is truly tragic that this man had to die because of HIV; no one should have to endure that. But taking his death and angry claims against something he had no choice against is just ignorant and wrong.

Backlash for Hate Crimes Bill

During the proceedings for the passing of the Hate Crimes Bill in the House, one woman stood up with a rather ignorant voice against the bill. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina decided that the whole issue was really over a murder committed during a robbery, and not about a boy who killed because he was gay. What an idiot!

Matthew Shepard's mom was deeply offended by this.



Foxx went back on record as saying that she had a poor word choice, but not apoligizing for her idiotic comments. What a bitch!

P.S. I love Rachel Maddow!
