Not that I particularly trust either of the recent two commenters, but apparently, the user known only as “redneck mafia” has underscored yet another great threat facing homosexuals in this day and age.

     It is a travesty.  While other homosexuals worry about issues such as AIDS, Marriage, Workplace Harassment and Hate Crime, this problem seems to have come from absolutely nowhere.
     In fact, it is a problem which will affect their quality of life even more, as it is even more a detriment their ability to provide for themselves and their significant other as it severely diminishes their capability to retain any sort of stable livelihood in a well-paying workplace.

     Apparently, as illustrated above, Poor Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar are also transmissible by sexual contact.  Other symptoms may occur, including a hypersensivity to Apostrophes, which could logically progress into an aversion to Colons.

     Damn, when will the persecution end?

     With any luck, the disease will be contained in Eastern Kentucky.  Stay tuned for further details, and remember — you heard it here first!

The title says it all, first I questioned the sexuality of my house key as it looked a bit prideful.  Then we were illuminated with the different shades of gay and a pretty lame diety as Steve Jobs is generally a poo-poo faced kind of guy.  Its his computers that we found were slightly in the closet, although that has to do with their operating system.

Yesterday, September 1st 2009, Ben and Jerry’s the Vermont ice cream company we have come to love released a temporary flavor,  Hubby Hubby.  As you might have guessed it is a localized renaming of their product Chubby Hubby which includes: fudge covered peanut butter filled pretzels in vanilla malt ice cream rippled with fudge and peanut butter, according to the Washington Post.  However Ben and Jerry’s describes it as: an all naturally fabulous union of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, fudge and pretzels. 

The thing that pisses me off is the fact that it is only available in Vermont.  Would it not be a better idea to celebrate living in a country where its okay to be out with a national release?  I am advocating for changes in marriage laws but I would urge the country to limit the state’s involvement of the process.  After all other that tax revenue and legal fees what business does the state really have in my personal life.  After all it took three times to be married to the love of my life.

So, go support the reformation of marriage laws, just on a different platform, getting the state out of the private lives of it’s citizenship.

I have had gay friends all my adult life. I have been comfortable with homosexuality for a long time. A few things lately have made it clear to me that a lot of people have very little understanding of homosexuality. I want to make a few points clear.

People are born gay or straight. Many people grow up hiding their sexuality for various reasons, but the fact that they announce they are gay after they are adults, or even after they have had spouses and children does not change the fact that they were gay when they were born. They don’t get converted or victimized into it. Nor do they choose it. It is a very difficult thing they usually struggle with for years before they admit it. They choose when they call themselves gay, but not when they are gay.

This is extremely difficult for many to deal with because it means God created gay people as gay and yet, we are all told God hates homosexuality. To believe people are born gay is to believe that God is a liar or something. What do you do?

The answer is that we live in a very different time than when the Bible was written.  Some things are as true today as they were 4,000 years ago, but many things are not. We don’t take laws set down by God concerning donkeys to literally apply only to donkeys. Things change. In this case, we now know that homosexuality is an inherited trait as much as red hair or black skin. They didn’t know that a couple thousand years ago. Times change. Things change. We have knowledge they didn’t. It doesn’t nullify God’s Law, it amends it. And it gives us the chance to be more righteous and good than the saints and the prophets.

The good news is, homophobic men don’t have to worry any longer that they will turn gay from a hit on the head or perhaps a drunken fling with another gay. You’re straight, get over it.

A lot of very dumb things are perpetrated because of this lack of understanding. Many people are trying to limit knowledge of homosexuality as a means to limit homosexuality itself. They think that if people know about it, it creates it. The truth is, people are gay, and some know what they are and some don’t. When they find out that what they are is gay and there are millions of other gay people, they are relieved and announce what they have always been. To the paranoid outsider they imagine that the knowledge created the homosexuality. That’s as true as finding out that there is something called hiccups and realizing you have them and they are normal. Knowing about hiccups didn’t cause hiccups, it gave it a name and a context.

This is the issue of our time. It is the Jim Crowe era for gay people. They can’t have the legal protections and rights others take for granted. They are ridiculed without consideration. They are mistreated. They are discriminated against. They can work their entire lives with a partner and end up with no rights to share in their life in terms of inheritence, etc. as they would were they straight and married. All these things happen because of the way they were born. Same as skin color. They had no choice and would likely have made a different one if they could. And so they are mistreated because of how God made them.

Be glad you were not born gay in these times. Just as there was a time when simply being born black in this country was going to be a struggle against society, today, being born gay makes you an instant victim.

And much as in those segregation times, the people who have the strongest feelings against gay people, have not been around them. My growing up with black people in my schools and churchs and as my peers and friends made it impossible for me to be a racist as my parents generation was. Having many gay friends lets me see how normal it is and I can’t imagine a reason to treat them as less than equal humans and citizens. But for those who live where no one dares come out of the closet, they are free to continue to imagine that gay people are some monster to be fought. It’s the same way in the all white counties of this country where racism continues to be passed down without being contradicted by the existence of people of color in their lives.

Here is another repugnant conservative Kristian site trying to bring back the Moral Majority. It’s hard to know where to start with this stuff because it is so ignorant and pathetically stupid. Their list of Gay Bands to avoid and defend your kids from is laughable. I mean, in general, there are a lot of reasons to not listen to these bands, and some sort of gay connection is pretty far down the list. And any mental flyweight retarded enough to be under the influence of these clowns isn’t worth bothering with to begin with. Except that they probably minister to a lot of very young, gullible kids. Kids may be smart as whips, but they don’t know enough to understand that these people are ‘tards. So they become the victim of their abusive “teachings.”

But the real issue here is one that most all gay bashing Kristians have and that is the notion that one becomes gay or decides to be gay and that they can be fixed.

But then, these aren’t people who listen to science, so I don’t know why I am surprised they don’t get it. Chances are, we can create gay people at will by messing with a mother’s hormone levels during pregnancy.

Being someone who actually knows and has talked to many gay people, let me make this very clear. People are born gay. They certainly do not choose it. Nor are they victims of gay sexual abuse.

That is fact.

[Tennis-star, Martina] Navratilova defended the “right” of sheep to be gay.

     Do gay sheep bleat with a lisp?
