While addressing diplomats from 180 countries on economic and social issues facing the world today, Pope Benedict was clear on 1 mantra; gay marriage is a threat 2 humanity.

Today officially ends the era of 'Don't ask, Don't Tell' which was a law put in place by our government 2 discriminate, humiliate and degrade all Gays and Lesbians serving in the military. Under the watchful eye of President Obama this law exists no more. Below is a YouTube video of an airman calling his father up today, September 20, 2011, to tell him he is gay.

 June 24, 2011, New York became the 6th largest state 2 legalize same-sex marriage. The New York Assembly passed same-sex marriage legislation twice before, in 2007 and 2009, but in both cases it stalled in the state Senate, as it nearly did again last week. The bill passed after legislators agreed on language allowing religious organizations 2 refuse 2 perform services or lend space 4 same-sex

My wife and I decided 2 sit and finally watch the much anticipated and celebrated lesbian flick, 'The Kids Are Alright'. The 1st thing I noticed was the complete change of lesbian looks. Normally on television when lesbians are portrayed, the cast includes very hot and very sexy LA type lipstick lesbians. The 2 lesbians in this film were nowhere near hot or sexy, but instead looked downtrodden,

A quick thought in light of the Prop 8 situation. It's interesting how the discriminatory states who refuse 2 award same-sex couples equal rights, have no problem having same-sex loving people spend their hard earned cash within the state, in order 2 keep the economy going strong. And they sure don't mind having LGBT people work hard at their jobs in order 2 keep the state businesses afloat, but

Fact: The 1st known appearance of the word homosexual in print is found in an 1869 German pamphlet, by the Austrian-born novelist and activist, Karl-Maria Kertbeny, which was published anonymously. Mr. Kertbeny eventually changed his last name 2, Benkert. The pamphlet is entitled: "Paragraph 143 of the Prussian Penal Code of 14 April 1851" and Its Reaffirmation as "Paragraph 152 in the Proposed

Today on the legendary soap opera, "All My Children", I was shocked 2 see the story start with a lesbian couple waking up in bed, being intimate and loving. I couldn't believe it! I never watch soap operas because it just isn't my thing, so I thought it was ironic that I stumbled across this particular episode and I have 2 say, it was the most exciting part of my television viewing 4 the day!I

Last night "Prayers 4 Bobby" came on twice and I watched it both times that's how good it was. This film dealt with the harsh reality of discrimination towards gay and lesbians, and sometimes death is the result 4 trying 2 find 'true peace', and death was how Bobby found his true peace. This movie was riveting, touching and mind blowing all at the same time. The actors in the film were excellent

Just a thought that's been running through my mind, every since I heard about the porn industry needing a government bail-out. Now, I personally do not think that there is a need 4 the government 2 bail-out the porn industry whatsoever. Did the porn industry get their start with government money? If they did then that's a shame, because I definitely don't think the government should give money 4

Well, I recently saw the movie a couple days ago (yeah....I know I'm late), but what I saw didn't impress me.

Every since Proposition 8 was passed 2 permanently take away same-sex marriage, there has been tremendous backlash in the gay community. Rallies have commenced in 300 cities across the nation, with as much as 180,000 people at 1 time protesting 4 equal rights.Then today I find out that my girl, Wanda Sykes is indeed a lesbian!

Unfortunately, after many activists fought 2 protect human rights, and spending 4 and against Proposition 8 reached $74 million, the most expensive social-issues campaign in U.S. history, the newly passed piece of legislation was overturned. California along with Arkansas, Arizona and Florida, voted overwhelmingly in favor of Proposition 8. It was reported that the biggest turnout of voter's 4

I recently read another article from the magazine, "The Advocate". The article spoke about gay marriage possibly being revoked in California, November 4th on election day. There are many gay and lesbian activists fighting 2 keep this right by having people sign petitions, 2 prove our right 2 marry should stay binded.
