"The License" takes on Anti-Gay Marriage Opponents



A really hilarious piece from always-funny Keith Hartman and crew regarding
the nonsensical hypocrisy and bias of legally regulating gay marriage based on
the teachings of the Judeo-Christian Bible. (And somehow, it's only 4 minutes
long, when there's more than 4 hours of lampooning to be done at expense of
fundamentalists with no knowledge of their own documents and no understanding
of 'separation of church and state!' ) Enjoy!

(And be sure and order the full length movie "You Should Meet My Son!"
from Itunes or Amazon!)

Queen - "I Want To Break Free"



Flashback, Fabulous Friday. Remember where we come from.

This is your anthem...believe in it, belt it, become it!

Have a beautiful and safe weekend; don't let anyone else's words or thoughts--
including your own--make you less than you are.

Be your best, and don't tolerate less from those around you. Peace.

Pay It Forward


Remember our history...
remember that we keep nothing without
fighting for it.


Who will you be today?
A pass-over, lay-down, ignore-it-all...
or a Fight-Back, Stand-Up, Speak-Out sort?

The right to live freely is the most fundamental in all
the world, and we cannot believe for one single
moment that we are any less deserving than anyone else
on the planet.

This is our world, our country, our government, too.
We have a right to our lives and freedom.

But always remember that freedom isn't free;
everything carries a price tag.

What is yours?

You Don't Have to Like It, To Know It


(An HIV-infected blood cell)

HIV is not a myth.

It is not a status symbol, nor romantic.

It is not relegated to the past.

It is not easily-combatted simply because
many more are winning the fight against death.

It is not a desired lifestyle change, nor
something to be casually ignorant of.

You are not 'fierce' as a result of disregarding
your safety, or that of others.
It isn't bad-ass or hardcore or proclaiming
your Super-Gay rebelliousness and sexuality
to risk livelihood and life.

If you choose to have sex,
be judicious with partner choice.
Respect yourself and protect yourself,
any time, every time.

It only takes once to become infected.
Keep watch over your public drinking and drug use,
and be smart with your associates and choices.

The disease has not gone anywhere;
it is still alive and well...more formidable than ever.

If you've been infected, you can still keep
from getting sick or contracting additional
strands. Take responsibility for yourself.
Prevent re-infection, prevent spread, and
get the help you need.

"Lies and Lunacy" - (Battling) The religious and conservative on homosexuality



Here's a good feed of multiple humorous and serious commentary in response
to the outbreak of Cray-Cray in the media in recent months!

(When the first one is over, the next in Que will automatically play). I find it
heartening to see all the good work being done around the globe by some
very talented, very spirited ladies and fellows, in promoting common sense
and decency!

Stand Up, Speak Out, Live Free!

"Prayers for Bobby", Full Movie



Here's the entire movie (adapted from the book, "Prayers for Bobby: 
A Mother's Coming to Terms with the Suicide of Her Gay Son" by
LeRoy Aarons.)

It's a difficult read (and view,) but especially great for a person of faith who
is a friend or family member of an LBGTQ person and possibly facing issues
regarding bias and discrimination that they grew up with in the church.
This story definitely puts the whole thing into perspective.
