I am totally apalled!! Homophobic Calendar by Christian Cartoonist on Sale at Amazon, Barnes & Noble

This is why I am ashamed many times for being a Christian.  It is because of these so-called Christians that give the word Christian a bad name.

A “Christian” cartoonist named Joe King has launched a homophobic calendar which from the cover alone, I am already disgusted and would not want to know what is inside.  Call it humor, call  it fun.  It’s not funny.

The calendar with a cover page that says, “I’m not Gay, I’m just a Sissy” is enough to make my blood boil.  According to a commenter on Towleroad, the month of February says, “We’ve all got AIDS.”  Furthermore, what irritates me is that the calendar is being sold at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.  Seriously?

We should all complain to Amazon and Barnes & Noble to take this type of publication out of their inventory.

Go to this link to complain to Amazon.   And you may also call B&N to complain.

Here’s the number:  #1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665).  Give them a call and ask for a supervisor.

I lost all my faith in love until last week…. and now THIS. (VIDEO)

When you’ve lost all faith that true love exists, something comes up to let you know that it does.

After attending my very first gay wedding ceremony last week in Chicago, I felt a reason to reduce my doubts about true love. I lost all faith because of many reasons. Many reasons that I equated to people who are together not because of reasons of love but other things. Many things that happened to me in my personal life that I created a wall so that I won’t continue to fool myself that one day, I will find true love. To me, true love doesn’t exist.

But the wedding last weekend (which photos I still have to share after permission from the couple) hit a soft spot in my heart. People can really still fall in love with utmost sincerity. When they recited their vows, I was taken aback. They really meant it.

And now, after being bored at home (from surgery, I am forced to stay home for a week), I found this video on Towleroad, a blog I regularly read… and I realized – - it can still happen.

Stop the bullying! A teen, Jonah Mowry expressed how hard it is to be bullied. WATCH: Touching video below.

Bullying may start in school. Yes, as early as first grade! But bullying doesn’t stop there. It carries over to the workplace, online and it takes many other forms. From words of hate to acts of hate.

Many teens have succumbed to committing suicide because they cannot handle the pain bullying brings. The It Gets Better Project is a project that tries to make teens understand that life does get better. That later in life, things will change. It has done a great job and I support it.

But a video posted by Jonah Mowry has become the most powerful and most riveting video that touched me to the core. That those being bullied must put their foot down and know that there are millions of us behind them.

Watch the video below and see what I mean.  It’s a touching video with real emotions coming from the heart…. and better yet – - he has a message… make sure you watch till the end.

The video has already reached over a half a million views since it was posted.

Full Transcript of KC Concepcion’s Interview with Boy Abunda on The Buzz

 

 

Many have written to find out what exact words were said by KC Concepcion during her interview with Boy Abunda on The Buzz that have given impression to many viewers that she is implying something by not saying exactly the reasons why they broke up.

I didn’t think so but you can judge for yourself.  I do have a few key points that I highlighted in bold that may have given it away.

Here’s the transcript of the interview given by Boy Abunda  to KC Concepcion on The Buzz:

 

BOY: “Kristina, this is not going to be easy para sa iyo, para sa amin. But we have to start this conversation somewhere.

 

“What was it like? Take me back to October 21.”

 

KC: “Actually, simula nung 18 ako, tinray na niya akong ligawan.

 

“But then in the the last three years talaga, since bumalik ako from abroad, siya yung unang bumungad sa akin—siya at saka yung barkada niya yung una kong nakilala.

The Philippine Supreme Court and the Midas Touch.. Haha! (VIDEO)

I often wonder when people really display their own character. Usually, it’s displayed in a crisis. Crisis illuminates character.

So, can you tell me which character appeared on this video when the speaker went on a crisis? Sayang, guwapo pa naman siya.

Achengggggg!!!

 

 

Surprise. Education can change things! The Video That Should Make Anti-Gays Tremble.

Just like anything else, “When you know better, you do better.”  That’s what my mentor Oprah would say.

I saw this video via one of my favorite blogs in the world and I was touched by it so I thought I would share it with all of you.

Education is a great thing.

Now get this: Former Rugby Player Claims Stroke Turned Him Gay – throws a wrench on Nature vs Nurture theory.

I was reading this story this morning and I was a bit intrigued by the claim of Chris Birch, 26 – a British rugby player who broke his neck and suffered a stroke back in 2005.  He claims that after the stroke, he woke up (having had no attraction for men in the past and / or relationship) and found himself to not be attracted to women anymore.  Hmmmm.   Not only that, he actually lost weight, trimmed his hair and started dating men!

Here’s an excerpt of what he had to say about his experience:

“I had to learn to walk, eat, even speak again and all my family were supporting me, hoping they would see the old Chris come back soon enough,” he told the Mirror.

“My old friends would come round and visit me but the conversation would dry up straightaway. I wasn’t interested in the rugby scores, going down the pub to watch football or anything else I used to do.

DADT Repeal on Tuesday – September 20th. An important milestone. Faceless Soldier on Youtube may reveal himself. (VIDEO)

Everyone is celebrating the repeal of DADT (Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell) policy that has prevented gays and lesbians to serve openly in the US military.

Tuesday, September 20th  marks the day that the policy will expires.  Now, gays an lesbians no longer have to hide in the shadows and can serve their country openly.  It is an important milestone for civil rights.   If no one asked for its repeal during this generation, I’m sure the next generation will.  I am just glad that I will get to witness it in mine.

The desire we all know we have inside of us. Sometimes we find a way, sometimes we don’t. ‘Cold Star’ (VIDEO)

A short film by German Director Kai Stänicke which implies that there’s one thing common in all of us. Some try to hide it and some exhibit it without shame. But in totality, we are all the same.

Watch the film and let us know what and how you felt at the end. It must strike a chord somewhere. A film about bullying, gender and sexuality, age and all that jazz.

I agree, Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie should not be forced to get married.

With Twitter Trends showing Bert and Ernie trending worldwide, one must find out why – well, a blogger must find out why.

Digging around resulted in an online petition filed on Chang.org to allow best friends forever, Sesame Street’s Bert and Ernie to get married.

As David Kleeman from Huffington Post writes, there is no need since this is really not a subject that is affecting children at the moment.  This is not a request of a 5-year old boy asking why Bert and Ernie are not married if they live together.  This an adult “cry” to Sesame Street to force these characters to marry.

Like David pointed out, Sesame Street, its writers and producers have not come short in providing awareness to issues like HIV+ child in Africa, or respect for one another.  Remember?

Anyway, here’s the related video to the petition.  What do you think?

Michael Kors marrying longtime partner Lance LePere

The New York Post reports that Project Runway judge, Michael Kors is going to marry his longtime partner Lance LePere in New York.

After New York’s legalization of Gay Marriage, many couldn’t wait to apply for that marriage license and the news was welcomed across the nation.  The article mentioned Michael Kors saying:

“Lance and I are very excited to finally be able to have the opportunity to marry in our home state after many years together,” Kors, 51, said in a statement. “We have no plans for a major party, but we will be getting married privately.”

Just as I’ve always said, my support for gay marriage is not personal to me since I don’t see myself getting married if ever.  My support for gay marriage is equal to my support for human rights.  We are all created equal and for those who choose to marry, kudos to them.

Congratulations Michael Kors and Lance LePere!

Gay ‘Archie’ Character Kevin Keller To Get His Own Monthly Comic Book. Yay!

One of the blogs I read daily is Towleroad.  I find the blog interesting and it provides the best news and trends about being gay.  Hey, it’s one of Neil Patrick Harris‘ favorite blogs.

I like the posts about the “It Gets Better Project” and positive things that are ongoing for the gay community.  It also talks about the “crazies” who thinks all homosexuals should be sent to an island and isolated from the real population.

I usually re-blog posts that I find interesting and this is one of them.  (I re-blog most posts.. hehe!).

I found out today that the gay character introduced in the Archie Comic Book Series named Kevin Keller had such a great reception that he will be getting his own monthly comic book series.  How about that?

There are many positive things happening for the gay community and usually I read about them on Towleroad and it gives me great comfort.  I also learn about policy changes that could affect me personally from the blog.

Hey, if younger people read positive things about being gay, they wouldn’t be as fearful or ashamed to admit who they are.  It gives them the power to rise up to bullies and not do anything stupid.  I’m all for that.

Here’s an excerpt on the news about Kevin Keller:

The series, titled Kevin Keller, will follow a four-issue mini-series starring Kevin that began in July and has started filling out his background, including his relationship with his father, who serves in the military and is supportive of his son’s desire to follow in his footsteps. Like those for the other Archie characters, Kevin’s series will deal with his life in high school. “He’s going to be the class president,” said Dan Parent, the writer-artist who created Kevin. But it won’t all be a good time. “Even the most popular kids are not popular with everybody,” Mr. Parent said. “There’s some adversity he’ll have to deal with.”

Gay Pride and Pinoy Pride: FINC (Filipinos and Friends in Chicago)

Photo Credits: ABF, Michael Cruz

We have always been proud being Filipinos.    Regardless of where you find Filipinos, you can be assured that they are proud of their heritage.  It’s a trait Filipinos have and will always have.

FINC (Filipinos and Friends in Chicago) celebrated Gay Pride Weekend in Chicago.  The effort placed on the float representing Filipinos and their friends obviously took a lot of hard work.   It takes months to prepare and design a float.  There’s a lot of unity and preparation required in order to organize and participate in a huge Pride Parade such as Chicago’s Gay Pride Festival.  Our representatives in Chicago did not disappoint.  The float was amazing and would have won if not for a small glitch.

Hate Crimes Law is very much needed in the Philippines. Let’s help stop hate crimes!

I guess I was naive to think that hate crimes law have been implemented in every nation.  In the United States, civil rights movements fought for racial equality.  Remember racial segregation?  Rights of African-Americans in the south suffered civil rights violations up to the 1960s.

Previous hate crimes laws only covered discrimination based on race, color, religion or national origin.

Hate Crimes law aims to punish people who violate it. Persons violating the 1969 Federal Hate Crimes Law face a fine or imprisonment of up to one year, or both. If bodily injury results or if such acts of intimidation involve the use of firearms, explosives or fire, individuals can receive prison terms of up to 10 years, while crimes involving kidnapping, sexual assault, or murder can be punishable by life in prison or the death penalty

New York Senate Passes the Gay Marriage Bill becoming the largest state to legalize same-sex Marriage Bill

With a remarkable 33-29 vote that include four Republicans who voted yes, New York State passed the Same-Sex Marriage bill making it the largest state to legalize same-sex marriage and becoming the sixth-state to allow gay marriage which includes Iowa, Connecticut, Vermont, District of Columbia, New Hampshire and Massachussetts.

It is indeed a victory for Gov. Cuomo who championed the cause and fulfilled a promise he made last year.

It is a victory for us as well.  It is a victory for me personally because it goes to show that we are moving towards equality.  It’s ironic now that it has been approved in the city where gay rights was born.

Woohoo!!

So True! Bullies must really feel this way about homosexuality. LOL!

Ever wonder what really goes on in the minds of bullies? Most specially those who bully homosexual teens? I think this video captures it…. it’s all the hidden desires they don’t want to exhibit that makes them bullies…

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2011 -Presidential Proclamation

THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 31, 2011

LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2011

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

The story of America’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community is the story of our fathers and sons, our mothers and daughters, and our friends and neighbors who continue the task of making our country a more perfect Union. It is a story about the struggle to realize the great American promise that all people can live with dignity and fairness under the law.  Each June, we commemorate the courageous individuals who have fought to achieve this promise for LGBT Americans, and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Since taking office, my Administration has made significant progress towards achieving equality for LGBT Americans.  Last December, I was proud to sign the repeal of the discriminatory “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy.  With this repeal, gay and lesbian Americans will be able to serve openly in our Armed Forces for the first time in our Nation’s history.  Our national security will be strengthened and the heroic contributions these Americans make to our military, and have made throughout our history, will be fully recognized.

The weather is getting warmer.  It sure is a sign that summer is on its way.  We will be celebrating Gay Pride everywhere.  To whatever part of the world you belong to, show your support and love.  Support the Freedom to Love.

Many participants (approx. 4,000 people) in Hong Lim Park in Singapore donned in pink attire, umbrellas and balloons attended last year’s Support the Freedom To Love in support of the LGBT Community in Singapore.  The freedom to express our love regardless of gender.

Wow! With a face like that, not only will he get my love – I will have an altar set up for him. He’s a god!

Craigery Morgan is a 20-year old college student in Florida. He is an aspiring comedian and quite really good at it.

I think I’m switching parties! Rep. Aaron Schock R-IL Shows Off His Abs on Men’s Health

Well, I’m a registered independent so I could really go either way. (Not that way folks! LOL!) But I do lean more to the left than to the right.

29- year old Rep. Aaron Schock is the most attractive male Republican representative in Congress. His shirtless photos appeared two years ago and was even thought of as one who may be in-between fences. He has confirmed however that he’s not gay.

The problem is not that he’s Republican. Nothing to worry about that. I have gay friends who are Republican (can’t understand the reason why!) and I don’t have a problem with it.

OMG is this for real? Chris Brown Photos Having Sex with a man leaked?

I guess this is just a way to distract us from the real photos we’ve been waiting for.  The photos of Osama Bin Laden that the White House is contemplating on releasing.

While I was on Twitter last night, someone mentioned that he hopes those photos of Chris Brown having gay sex is photoshopped.  According to the comments, the photo is fake because he doesn’t have any tattoos.  However, if the photo was taken in 2006 – that is possible.  There’s no surprise about photoshopping pictures these days to create a scandal but when I saw the pic, I was like – - hmmm.  Is it?

If you want to see the photos, you can judge for yourself.  Just follow the link to a very NSFW site below.

Here’s the caption to the photo:

I was browsing the within the deepest depths of the inter web and look what I came across…Could it be real? Pictures leaked from 2006 of Chris Brown having gay sex with Andre Merrit

Glee’s Full Performance of “Someone Only We Know” as Blaine serenaded Kurt. Cute. (VIDEO)

Here’s what to expect on Glee tonight. I guess the gay-teen relationship is really getting a lot of focus on Glee – which is rightfully so overdue.

Here in this scene, you will see Blaine (Darren Criss) serenading Kurt (Chris Colfer) with the song, “Someone Only We Know“. Kinda cute I think.

How I wish I went to high school at a time like now. I think the tolerance for gay teens is waaaayyy lenient that it ever was than when I was in high school but there’s still work to be done. This is good progress folks!

Disturbing video of a transgender woman beaten at a McDonald’s in Baltimore.

I saw this video yesterday when my friend showed it to me on his iPhone. He was tagged with the video on Facebook and I was in total shock as I watched the assault (not knowing then that the woman being beaten by two other female patrons at McDonald’s in Baltimore is a transgender woman).

I watched the video until the woman started to go into seizure after she was beaten and kicked. The facebook wall was filled with comments of racism and homophobic entries.

What love I have for Darren Criss!! I love him so much not only because he’s half-Filipino (I just like throwing it out there all the time. LOL!) but he is simply an amazing artist who has the charisma that catapulted him to the status of an A-List celebrity in a very short time.

He’s hot!  He’s Trevor Donovan.  90210‘s gay storyline aired last night (but aired in Canada over the weekend) was so hot, you are probably kicking yourself from missing it.

Don’t fret any longer as we have a video that was uploaded on Youtube.  The whole episode was uploaded in parts but this is the part I believe you want to see.

Trevor Donovan will be our next subject on the Chuva Hotness Series.

So Sad. Queerty – Free of an agenda. Except that gay one – The gay blog – has closed.

 

 

I’m syure that many of my readers have enjoyed the Gay Website Queerty.  There was an April Fools’ joke that they did which said that the website had closed only to admit a day later that it was simply a joke.
Well, that joke is no more.  Queerty has really closed down its doors.  If you visit the site, you will be greeted with this message:

A message from Queerty

After more than five years of serving the LGBT community with news and entertainment, Queerty has come to a close. The decision to shutter the site was not an easy one to make, and it is with great pain that we say goodbye to our loyal readership. From all of Queerty’s writers and contributors, from our first unto our last day, thank you for spending some time with us.

—Queerty and 353Media

So sad to see it go.  But like everything else, nothing lasts forever.

More power and goodluck Queerty… you will surely be missed.
