Transsexual Beaten by Memphis Police Officer Speaks Out

I could only watch this video once!

I know that Ms. Johnson will receive due justice there is no doubt. She has retained herself a lawyer, the entire Memphis County jail stands in dire need of diversity training, etc. The nurse as you will hear Duanna speak about should lose her certificate or license, because it's inexcusable.

Whoa...it is too early on a Sunday morning for me to be so outraged.

First, like an idiot I tried watching George Stephanopolous (spelling?) - for Pete sake. The panel of guest talked about race in politics, specifically Obama's. However IF Obama loses it won't be because of race -- was one of their quotes, (Stupid fuckers!)

Then a video from my girl Honjii - George asswipe Bush and now this hate.

Okay go head and watch it's just an outrage!

Duanna Johnson speaks out will she receive Justice, let's hope so!

Gay Couples Warned About Being Too Flamboyant

This really hit my ticker -- evoking emotions of "I'm pissed."

It reminded me of don't speak too ethnic -- or rather Black -- and for Pete sakes watch how you dress - meaning don't come to work with your natural hair or even braids. Remember what you say and watch how you say it. Your diction your dialect -- because we have to assimilate to the alleged standards of the mainstream. Oh Poppycock!

Yet, here we go again....
"The gay and lesbian couples who packed a Hollywood auditorium last week had come seeking information about California's new marriage policies.

But they also got some unsolicited advice. Images from gay weddings, said Lorri L.Jean, chief executive of the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center, could be used by opponents in a campaign designed to convince California voters that gays and lesbians should not have the right to marry.

"It's a weird subject," added Hamilton, 39, who plans to wed his partner of five years, Ray Paolantonio. "We want everybody to be free, but the image does matter. . . . They are going to try to make us look like freaks."

"The more that homosexual activists wave their hijacked marriage licenses in people's faces, the more people will say, 'This isn't right. . . . What can I do about this?' " said Randy Thomasson, the founder of the Campaign for Children and Families."

So, God Killed Him For Loving Fags

I found this over at My Left Wing....

The gentleman pictured below was singing and celebrating the victories of our LGBT community and gay marriage, at City Hall. While strumming his guitar he dropped dead. Sad, huh?



Well check this out -- "One of the Christian protesters (pictured below) were chanting at his body - "Satan Got You!" "What is the Devil whispering in your ear about now?"



And these holier than thou Christians really do try & figure out why people do not participate in Christianity nor organized religion. I mean foreal where is the Love for thy brother and sister? I don't even know why I'm getting upset!

GAY WEDDING PRIEST QUITS

One of the two gay priests who got married in a controversial church ceremony, said to be the first gay church wedding in the UK, has resigned.

The Rev. David Lord and the Rev. Peter Cowell caused a media storm in the UK last week when it came to light that they had exchanged wedding rings and vows in a London church on 31 May.

While same-sex civil partnerships are legal in the UK, the Church of England does not allow or recognise same-sex marriage ceremonies or blessings within the Church.

(sometimes I really despise reading 'the church' 'the church'!)

Anti Gay Protestors outside City Hall

It's such a feeling of satisfaction and pride, because it's the right thing to do - implementing civil rights and granting human rights...

McCain supporters cheer anti-gay message and marriage

The cheers began when McCain stated, "I just frankly believe in the sanctity and unique status of marriage between man and woman." "That's what I believe, that's what I support and that what I will fight for."

I think that is so funny!

Heterosexuals want to preserve the sanctity of marriage, yet the divorce rate is at an all time high. And whose fault is that - gays and lesbians? McCain and his adamant preservation of marriage went straight out the door when he opted for divorce - allegedly due to cheating. Infidelity isn't that what it's called. I'm pretty sure the result of his divorce was just as Senator Obama has said, "No one's marriage has fallen apart from witnessing two men or two women holding hands or kissing."

Mainstream and their issues always have to find a scapegoat. Someone to place the blame on beside themselves. Unfortunately, gays and lesbians are the scapegoats for the ruins of their marriages. Seriously what kind of logic and sense does this make - none.

For the people who oppose same sex marriage, they best come up with something different than 'in the sanctity of - or - God made Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve'. This can be compared to the Clinton's old way of politics, which has clearly gotten them defeated.

Give me that old time religion is dead!

That old time religion coming from those Bible scriptures has been used to promote racism, oppression, genocide, slavery, hatred and wars in many a nation.

You can read the article in full at PageOneQ, and take a look at the video footage of McCain addressing his supporters of anti same sex marriage.

Ohio Lawmaker believes same-sex committed relationships lead to mental and physical illness

Jeff Warner, a Republican representing the 81st district in Ohio, believes that,"same sex committed relationships lead to mental and physical illness." I'm sorry before I can even think about getting mad I must have myself a good laugh. He's an embarrassment to the State of Ohio, period.

As a citizen of Ohio, we must get a gag order to prevent this educated idiot from speaking!

check it...

When a constituent asked about H.B. 502 the "Equal Housing and Employment Act, that would cover LGBTs this is what Wagner said via email --

"[T]his is a dangerous and misguided bill. The bill is not really about people being denied rights to basic needs, but it is about promoting acceptance of an immoral lifestyle. As much as some people would have us to believe otherwise, this country was founded on Christian principles.

One of those long honored principles is the tradition of holy matrimony.

One man and one woman joined together in a union that goes as far back as Adam and Eve. As our society has gotten further from that standard (not just homosexuality, but easy divorce, cheating on a spouse, etc.) we see a continued collapse of the basic building block of society the family unit. As that traditional family erodes, we see more sexually transmitted diseases, kids without parents, heartbroken people and I believe a host of mental and physical illnesses. . . . rest assured I can not support a bill in any way promotes or encourages the homosexual lifestyle."


Here's the response from Twenty-four members of the Ohio House of Representatives, led by Minority Leader Joyce Beatty (pictured) have issued in response to Representative Jeff Wagner’s comments attacking LGBT families and aligning same-sex relationships with mental illness.

In a letter from the lawmakers, they call Wagner’s remarks “inappropriate and unprofessional for the civil dialogue this august body normally upholds,” and go on to say that they “stand united against any type of discriminatory speech.”

“Discrimination against anyone, for any reason,” they write, “is wrong.”

“We strongly disagree with your statements,” the letter concludes.

The lawmakers’ full letter, along with the names of everyone who signed on, is after the jump.
