Our people are hecklers

Yesterday, instead of angst-filled Greenpeace or LaRouche people on the sidewalks, there were Human Rights Campaign people everywhere. As if my college didn't have enough queens and queers on its campus.

Them: "Do you have a second for gay rights?"
Me: "Bitch, I am gay rights."
Them: "... h'what?"
Me: "Nothing, and no I do not."

Lesbian-in-sweatpants didn't think it was very funny. Probs because Ellen didn't say it.

Over the top, much?

So... yesterday in Borders, I was walking through the magazine section, and I noticed three different Barack Obama periodicals. As in entire magazines of color pictures and "inspirational" quotes.

One of said magazines was Issue 58, meaning there are 57 other issues of similar "inspirational" overkill floating about out there.

Really, America? Really? Have we sunk to this level?

The end of an era

(( I'm posting this because I think the name is gay-appropriate ))

Today, W. Mark Felt died - he was "Deep Throat" in the famous Watergate scandal. And as I'm sure at least half of my readers either don't know who I'm talking about, or think "Watergate" is a deviant sexual act...

... your homework is to look it up and learn what you can. Dismissed, kids.

Gay Marriages Begin in Connecticut -- LISA W. FODERARO
November 12, 2008, NYTimes

Marriages began today in Connecticut, and good for them! It's interesting to see the difference in events this week. CT gets more rights... and CA doesn't.

Side note: I'm thinking about going to a protest at Boston City Hall this Saturday at 1:30 to protest Proposition 8. Part of me says that it's good to show solidarity and political activism - plus, there are nearly 4,000 people that are already going (on facebook, meaning 5 will actually show up).

On the other hand, does voicing an opinion in the only state to offer same-sex marriage help at all 3,000 miles away? Not sure...

... if I can find someone to go with (meaning not by myself), I will definitely go. At least for a while.

Because the 70's were ideal

Intermediate Gay -- Now that you've been out in the world for a while, it's time to learn about a little gay history. You know about Prop 8/Hate, etc... now how about something from the past?


If you thought that things have been swimmingly good since Stonewall, you would be wrong, silly. So if you are in a city/state that is liberal enough to even be showing this movie in your local theaters (so if you live on either coast), then you shouldn't miss it.

Learn it - gay culture is nothing without her history.



Coming December 5.

Dear God

To whom it may concern,

Your followers, seriously, need to back the fuck off. They are starting to piss the rest of us off.

Signed,
The rest of us

P.s. Tell them that people are more willing to listen to their fanciful stories of ridiculousness if they didn't belligerently offend us to our faces, criticize every facet of our being, and then expect us to pay them close attention.

P.p.s. Remind them to stop showing us all our faithful they are. If they're going to be religious, there is a fine line between being proud and being boastful.

Prop. 8

While the boozing continues in celebration of President Obama's victory continues, California isn't looking so good.



Morning Update: As of 10:30AM, 95% of the districts have reported in. 52% to 48%. The fight has been lost - gay marriage is once again banned in California.

On this time, it's in the Constitution, and we're fucked. *sigh*

"Elections"

I love hearing Asian people go by discussing the "election"... but with their accents.

Tonight, I'm watching what?

I'm keeping my eye on the polls all night, but I'm only watching three things:

1. what happens in Virginia,
2. the New Hampshire Senator race, and
3. which gay marriage bans pass.

Shaheen and Sununu have been cat-fighting in NH since the summer. I don't think I've seen a single non-negative advertisment from either.

I also think Missouri is going to be the Florida/Ohio of 2008. Just a feeling I have. As far as the election, though, Obama doesn't stand a chance at losing short of a divine miracle from on high.

(( Side note: Apparently Ar's friends are going to be at the election party I'm going to tonight, which will be awkward by default. ... shit. ))

(( Pre-results predictions: Arizona will ban gay marriage while California and Florida won't. Jeanne Shaheen will beat John Sununu, and Virginia will go blue by a slim margin. ))

To anyone feeling sad

I have a present for you:
