I for one am shocked that a killer whale imprisoned in a tiny tank and expected to twirl like a fucking clown for a bunch of screaming, horrible children actually got fed up and killed someone. Who could have possibly predicted this? ...

I haven’t been following the Winter Olympics very close, except for perusing the news photos and figuring out who the hottest athletes are. (No, I don’t need to see they play to figure that out, if you know what I mean.) but I have been following the “controversy” regarding Johnny Weir. The Associated Press reports that two broadcasters are under fire for derogatory comments made about the former world champion. One commentator from French-language broadcaster RDS said Weir hurts figure skating’s image, while another said the skater should be made to take a gender test. The Quebec Gay ...

Source: Human Rights Watch - Feb 22 The recent murders of two transgender women in Turkey highlight  an ongoing pattern of violence and the urgent need for stronger protection measures by the government, four Turkish and international human rights organizations said today in a letter to Turkish authorities. The groups called on Turkey to remedy the conditions that place transgender people at risk from acts of violence by enacting anti-discrimination protections, instituting programs to combat prejudice and hatred, and repealing laws that provide an opportunity for police to harass stigmatized groups. The letter was sent by Pembe Hayat ...

What do you want in life? I am sure you can list a bunch of quick items or goals but you can see your life? Can you see what your life will be in the future? Are you even sure all you want will get you to the future life you deserve? It is better to focus on the end. Not the end of your life but your vision. A vision of what you want your life to be.A crystal clear vision. It is easy to have a vision that is 20 years, 10 years, even 5 years way. That was me. ...

Ya me he quejado muchas veces de la bifobia que existe tanto fuera como dentro del ambiente LGBT. Por supuesto, esto se refleja en Facebook. Los grupos y páginas son fáciles de crear y parece que sucede a menudo que la gente tiene un día lleno de fobia de algún tipo y escupe toda la porquería que lleva dentro al sentarse delante del ordenador.  Como veo que el grupo que creé para cerrar los sitios xenófobos en Facebook tiene éxito y entre todos estamos consiguiendo cerrar muchos de esos lugares horribles, hoy me he animado a usar otras ...

Today's theme, for me, is procrastination. I've got a million emails to write, a whole load of research to carry out, study to do, finanicial stuff to look into, housework (yuck) and lots of other stuff to do. But it's Spring. The sun is shining, it feels warm outside, the daffodils are flowering, the trees are in bud. I don't want to be doing work! I want to be out having fun: maybe going for a walk on the beach or taking my remote-controlled helicopter out for a flight.But, I have to fight my whims because the most important thing ...

Nathaniel R: I led with the Reality Television problem yesterday because I'm trying to work through some, um, "personal issues". I actually snapped at two friends this week for no reason other than that something they said reminded me tangentially of reality television and how much I hate it and inbetween these outbursts I sat through the entire new episodes of Amazing Race, Project Runway and RuPaul's Drag Race on my DVR. I'm part of the problem! So I needed to binge and purge the reality television issue before moving on. My chief problem with its dominance is the ...
