Why are anti-gay people so confused about consent?  »  The Musings of a Confused Man
[Content Note:  Rape culture, Sexual Abuse, Anti-Gay Bigotry] Yesterday afternoon, Zack Ford of ThinkProgress reported on a new statement by NARTH that’s intended to encourage the Boy Scouts of America to continue to exclude gay, bisexual, and (presumably) transgender boys from joining their ranks.  It’s the usual mash-up of misinformation about promiscuous gay men, heightened health risks, and gay people as sexual predators.  Zack does a good job of providing links that deconstruct the information. However, I want to take a closer look at one of the excerpts from the statement that Zack quoted: How will child protection be ...

Le date dei Gay Pride italiani 2013  »  Gayburg
Anche quest'anno, con l'arrivo di giugno, si sta per aprire la nuova stagione dei Pride, eventi organizzati in ricordo della rivolta di Stonewall (avvenuta il 28 giugno 1968) ed occasione per manifestare il proprio orgoglio. Perché a fronte di parlamentari che ci chiedono di vivere nell'ombra, è importante rispondere con forza ed affermare che ci siamo e che non vogliamo essere trattati come cittadini di serie b . Ad aprire a danze sarà Torino l'8 giugno, seguito dal Barletta Pride che occuperà le giornate dall'8 al 15 giugno. Il 15 giugno... [leggi tutto] ...

'National Catholic Reporter' commentary: Church can show it's not anti-gay by backing gay Boy Scouts  »  Good As You
A welcome change of pace on the Catholic commentary circuit: "Though few will state it publicly, one of the arguments against admitting homosexuals as adult scout leaders is the unsubstantiated belief that homosexuals are more prone to sexual abuse of children than are heterosexuals. Similarly fallacious arguments have been made regarding the predilection of Roman Catholic clergy to sexual abuse of children. Consequently, one would think that Catholic church leadership would be particularly sensitive to such unjust assumptions. Yet the silence of Catholic leadership regarding the Boy Scout controversy has been deafening. If [Cardinal] Dolan wants the Catholic church to do a ...

Two top anti-gay leaders condemn anti-gay murder  »  Good As You
Tony Perkins: "We denounce any and all acts of unprovoked violence. No American should be the target of violence - period. We hope and trust that justice will be served in that the perpetrator of this senseless act of violence will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law" [FRC] Brian Brown: "We condemn in the strongest possible way the murder of a gay man in New York by a killer who apparently hurled anti-gay insults at him moments before the killing. This senseless act cannot be condoned in America or anywhere, and we urge that the perpetrator be ...

Blogging Updates  »  Postcards from Hell's Kitchen
Fell asleep at 7pm last night. Up at 3:30am. The early morning hours give me some time to do some good things... while still full of energy... Evenings are completely drained of people-pleasing energy from the j-o-b combined with the summer heat..."It's not the work, it's the stairs" once said the retiring prostitute to Elaine Stritch's father..

Are we fishing in the wrong pool if we’re looking for an eligible boyfriend online?  »  Gays.com Blog
In the first of a two-parter, our new blogger SerialMonigamist30 asks whether gay men can use new technologies and the internet to find the man of their dreams… or will it just remain a source of instant sexual hook-ups? It’s only a matter of time, practically seconds in fact, that a gay man will use today’s technological renaissance to try to get an easy ride out of it. ‘Us gay’s been doing this shit for years.’ I say this to all my straight girl and guy friends when they whisper to me about ‘fishing a plenty’ on dating sites, excited about the ...

Leone (pdl): «L'omofobia spesso è causata anche dagli eccessi dei Gay Pride»  »  Gayburg
«L'omofobia spesso è causata anche dagli eccessi dei Gay Pride. È esattissimo che, se ci fossero meno provocazioni e ostentazioni, probabilmente ci sarebbe meno omofobia. Se vuoi la normalità, la devi chiedere in modo normale, altrimenti diventa una eccezionalità, una esagerazione che fa irrigidire. Sostenere i matrimoni gay attraverso un Gay Pride che si presenta anche davanti a bambini, due uomini che si baciano, due donne che si toccano, fa parte di un impulso esagerato per mettere sul tavolo i problemi che ci sono». Parole e pensieri del... [leggi tutto] ...

Quickie Book Review: Under the Glacier  »  A Life in the Day
by Halldór LaxnessWhen reports of strange goings on near the Snæfellsjökull Glacier reach the Bishop of Iceland, he immediately send his emissary to investigate Glacier and its inhabitants, especially one Pastor Jón Primus who is allegedly shirking his religious duties by leaving a dead body above ground on the glacier rather than burying it. The emissary reaches the town and notices the strangeness of the area even before beginning his investigation: the church has been boarded up; a ramshackle hut of a building stands beside the church; Pastor Jón is nowhere to be found (though many of the townsfolk ...

The Formation Of Yesterday's Oklahoma Tornado  »  Ron's Log
Video by an amateur photographer who, it would appear, learned one mistaken rule of photography in his life and is going to stick by it: "Always keep the horizon in the middle of your photo." I wanted to reach through and grab that camera from him. About two-thirds of the way through this video he realizes his error in photocomposition and adjusts his aim. And then you get twits like the guy in the white van who, having all of Oklahoma to move around in, decides the best place to be is directly between our camera and the tornado. ...
