OK, here's the deal. The gays want super-equality. You want rights not even given to a man married to a woman. Have gay people ever considered just being gay, doing your thing, and shutting the fuck up? When you do the whole loud "I'm gay and I'm loud and proud and I'm going to shove it in your face till you accept me" thing, two things happen. ((( #1 ))), MOST OF SOCIETY ARE REPULSED. Some of you dance in the street in thongs. You have sex in the street in San Fran at the gay festival. You say inappropriate over-sexualized things to co-workers and bystanders. Because you live in a world that is over-sexualized and your identity revolves around your sexuality, you think everyone is like that or needs to be more like that. Just be normal and do what you want in your own bedroom like everyone else, and things will start going better for you. ((( #2 ))) YOU COME ACROSS AS NEEDY AND INSECURE. Let's face it, when you all get together and march and hold signs that say "I'm SO proud to be gay", it REEKS of you over-trying to convince yourselves. We all know there is shame involved in homosexuality- why was it hard for most of you to tell your parents? Because of the shame. The rest of us don't believe you're proud of it....period. But when you shout about how proud you are, it's like the insecure person in the office who is always trumpeting their achievements to anyone who will listen because they're insecure about their true ability and they're overcompensating and trying to cover their insecurity by boasting, etc.....EVERYONE sees through it and they appear MORE pathetic and insecure than if they just did their job and kept a low profile. The people who know what they're doing don't have to run their mouth about it. Those of us who have no shame about our sexuality don't have to run their mouths constantly about it. MAYBE you should stop bashing the rest of over the head with it!!

First gay divorce hits Texas court
By 365gay Newscenter Staff 01.23.2009 11:26am EST (Dallas, Texas) A Dallas man who married his longtime partner in Massachusetts is asking a Texas court to grant him a divorce. Send / ShareAdd CommentIt is believed to be the first time that a court in Texas has been asked to grant a divorce stemming from a same-sex marriage, although a court earlier refused to dissolve a civil union that had been obtained by another couple in Vermont. In that case, the judge cited the Texas constitution, which bans same-sex marriage. The men were married in 2006 in Cambridge, Mass. and then returned to Dallas. They split up last year and a court filing by one of the men this week cites “discord or conflict of personalities.” The man’s attorney, Peter Schulte, tells the Dallas News that he is uncertain how the court will rule. Attorney General Greg Abbott told The News that he will ” defend Texas law – and the will of the people.” “In the State of Texas, marriage is – and has always been – a union between one man and one woman. To prevent other states from imposing their values on this state, Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a Constitutional amendment specifically defining marriage as a union of one man and one woman,” he said in a written statement. “Because the parties’ Massachusetts-issued arrangement is not a marriage under Texas law, they are asking a Texas court to recognize – and dissolve – something that does not legally exist.” But Schulte said the issue is about divorce, not gay marriage. “That’s not what we’re talking about here. They want to get divorced just like a straight couple,” he said.

Proposition 8 would eliminate fundamental rights for a group of Californians. It’s unfair and it’s wrong. Fiction: Prop 8 doesn’t discriminate against gay people. Fact: Prop 8 is simple: it eliminates the rights for same-sex couples to marry. Prop 8 would deny equal protections and write discrimination against one group of people—lesbian and gay people—into our state constitution.

By 365gayNewscenterStaff01.23.200911:21amEST(Tampa, Florida)A proposalthat could have led to health benefits for the domestic partners of Hillsborough County employees has been flatly rejected. Send/ShareAdd CommentOpenly gaycommissioner Kevin Beckner proposed a motion calling for a study into the feasibility of the benefits. Beckner,who was elected in November,said he proposed the idea now because the county is in the process of taking bids for employee health insurance.That process happens only once every four years.Beckner is the first openly gay politician to win office in the conservative county;during the campaign pledged he would not use the office to advocate for LGBT issues.When he proposed the benefits plan, some in his district accused him of breaking that pledge. In 2005,Hillsborough County made national headlines when commissioners passed an ordinance barring the county government from any acknowledgment of Gay Pride, and a second ordinance making it virtually impossible to repeal the first one.While LGBT pride observances were not banned in the county, the ordinances blocked the government from any involvement, support or promotion. Beckner’s benefits proposal would have covered same-sex couples and unmarried opposite-sex couples.It was defeated on a 5-2 vote.Before the vote,Beckner told commissioners that he hoped acceptance of the plan would show that the county had become more inclusive.“By making this small policy change”,he said,“we will send a message to the world that we are evolving into a more inclusive community,”he said. But Commissioner Jim Norman accused Beckner of trying to blur the distinction between marriage and gay unions.“I believe that family benefits should be between a husband and wife,”Norman said.“You draw the line somewhere and that’s where I draw the line.”One commissioner said the proposal would be economically crippling.“We’re simply not in a financial position to increase benefits at this time,” said Commissioner Ken Hagan.

British soccer fans banned for homophobic, racist chants
By The Canadian Press 01.23.2009 3:31pm EST (Portsmouth, England) Four fans have been banned from soccer games for three years after pleading guilty to yelling indecent chants at Portsmouth defender Sol Campbell during a game against Tottenham, which was marred by racist and homophobic crowd behavior.Send / ShareAdd CommentSeven more pleaded not guilty when the case opened at Portsmouth Magistrates Court, relating to Pompey’s 2-0 win on Sept. 28 at Fratton Park. The former England defender infuriated Spurs supporters by leaving for north London rival Arsenal seven years ago. Campbell has been at Portsmouth since leaving the Gunners in August 2006 and has been regularly jeered by Tottenham fans, the latest incidents being at Sunday’s 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane. At September’s game, police identified fans that allegedly aimed indecent, racist or homophobic chants at Campbell. “There were families present, very young children. We also heard from witnesses who found the behavior disgusting and embarrassing,” magistrate Susan Waddle told the four men who admitted the charge. She also fined them 370 pounds ($500 US) and ordered them to pay 120 pounds ($162 US) in legal costs. “No doubt you are upright members of society, but in there you acted like animals, like a herd,” Waddle said. “This was well-rehearsed, everyone was in sync, everyone knew the words, it was not something that just happened on the day. “Whether or not Mr. Campbell was offended, decent members of the public found this very offensive and so did the (court). Anyone who indulges in this disgusting behavior will be dealt with very severely by the courts.” The four who pleaded guilty to indecent chanting were Keith Stevens, 54, from Hailsham, south east England; Richard Gibbs, 36, from Wokingham, west of London; Stuart Turner, 34, Telford, central England, and Oliver Sylvester, 28, from the south coast city of Southampton.

California bar associations join call to invalidate Prop 8
By 365gay Newscenter Staff 01.16.2009 2:11pm EST (San Francisco, California) Forty bar associations and legal groups across the country - including the San Francisco and Los Angeles County Bar Associations - have called on the California Supreme Court to invalidate Proposition 8, the voter approved measure that bans same-sex marriage in the state. Send / ShareAdd CommentThe groups have filed a friend of the court brief saying the proposition violates the constitutional principles of equal protection and fundamental rights. “Proposition 8 would shatter existing principles of equal protection and fundamental rights, as well as the judicial branch’s role as final arbiter of these constitutional guarantees,” said Russell S. Roeca, President of the Bar Association of San Francisco in a statement. “It constitutes a revision of the Constitution. As such, it may not be enacted by a simple majority of the voters.” Los Angeles County Bar Association President Danette Meyers said that the question of whether a protected class may be barred from enjoying a fundamental right based on a bare majority vote is a matter of statewide importance. “The implications of the question are wide-reaching; if the majority can relegate disfavored minorities to second class citizenship via the initiative process, no fundamental rights are safe,” said Meyers.

New bid to establish Milk holiday
By 365gay Newscenter Staff 01.22.2009 10:39am EST (Sacramento, California) State Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) is hoping positive publicity over the movie “Milk” encourages Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) to support legislation declaring May 22 as Harvey Milk Day. Send / Share Add Comment Leno was elected to the California Senate in November. Last year as a member of the Assembly, he pushed through a similar bill only to have it vetoed by the governor. It passed the legislature with little difficulty, but Schwarzenegger said that while he respected the measure’s intent, he thought Milk’s “contributions should continue to be recognized at the local level.” May 22 is Milk’s birth date. He would have been 79 this year. Milk was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977 and shot to death a year later, along with Mayor George Moscone, by former supervisor Dan White. White was convicted of manslaughter, and served a little more than three years in prison before committing suicide. In the years since his death, Milk has become one of the most recognizable martyrs of the gay rights movement. The film Milk starring Sean Penn garnered kudos and is considered likely to be nominated for a number of Academy Awards. Leno’s bill is one of two pro-gay bills to come up this session of the California legislature. The other would protect home ownership for same-sex couples. The bill, filed by Assembly Member Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles), would allow two people, including same-sex couples, who co-own a home together to avoid an unfair property tax increase upon the death of one of the co-owners. The bill is nearly identical to a measure that passed the legislature last year but was vetoed by Gov. Schwarzenegger. The governor has not said if he will support either bill this time around. |

Appeals court upholds NYS partner ruling
By 365gay Newscenter Staff 01.23.2009 8:48am EST (Albany New York) A mid-level New York State appeals court has upheld a policy granting benefits to the same-sex married partners of state workers. Send / ShareAdd CommentThe Alliance Defense Fund, a conservative Christian legal practice, argued that then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer acted illegally when he directed the Department of Civil Service in 2007 to extended health benefits to those spouses. The ADF, which fights LGBT issues across the country, is representing four upstate taxpayers. Attorney Brian Raum told the five justices of the Appellate Division that Spitzer had usurped the authority of the legislature. Raum pointed to the 2006 ruling by New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals, that same-sex couples do not have a constitutional right to marry but that the issue of same-sex marriage could be taken up by the Legislature.The DCS was represented at the hearing by the state Attorney General’s Office.

David Medina joins list of LGBT people slated to join Obama Administration
January 15, 2009 Chris Johnson The Washington Blade reported on Tuesday that David Medina, a member of HRC's public policy committee, has been selected to serve as deputy chief of staff to Michelle Obama. This latest news of Medina's likely appointment continues the buzz of recent days around President-elect Obama's transition team plans to place LGBT people in key posts in his administration. Earlier this week, the Washington Post's Al Kamen noted that National Zoo director John Berry is slated to become director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), putting him in position to manage the largest civilian workforce in our country. Additionally, on January 8, the Advocate reported that Brian Bond will be named deputy director of the Office of Public Liaison. HRC learned the next day that Fred Hochberg, an openly gay man and former head of the Small Business Administration, will be named chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States.

New York legislature gains new pro-equality leadership
January 08, 2009 Chris Johnson Following two months of negotiations, New York’s State Senate Democrats have chosen Senator Malcolm Smith to lead the new majority that Democrats won last November. Chris Edelson, HRC's state legislative director, talks more about the New York election results in this guest post: Last November’s election results hit us hard on the issue of marriage equality. One piece of good news, however, came from New York, where control of the Senate changed hands. That was good news because the marriage equality bill that passed the New York Assembly by an 85-61 margin in June 2007 had gone nowhere in the old Senate, which was controlled by a majority leader who was a committed opponent of equality and declared the marriage equality bill “dead on arrival”. We were thrilled by the election results in New York, and proud of the work we did on key campaigns, but we have anxiously followed negotiations over the past two months regarding leadership of the new majority. Sen. Malcolm Smith (pictured), a supporter of marriage equality, emerged as the leading candidate to become the new Senate President and Majority Leader, but members of his party tried to force him to agree that, if he became leader, the Senate would not vote on a marriage equality bill this year.

Fight the good fight and keep on fighting for, equality, farinas, love, and kindness. California AG urges court to void gay marriage ban Updated Fri. Dec. 19 2008 9:10 PM ET The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO -- The California attorney general has changed his position on the state's new same-sex marriage ban. Jerry Brown is now urging the state's Supreme Court to void Proposition 8, which limited marriage to a man and a woman. Brown has filed a brief saying the measure is unconstitutional. He says it deprives gay couples of a fundamental right. After California voters passed Proposition 8 last month, Brown said he would fight to uphold the initiative in his role as attorney general. Brown personally voted against it. He submitted his brief in one of the three legal challenges to Proposition 8 brought by same-sex marriage supporters.

God has tried to teach us to love not only him and ourselves, but every living creature on earth He has created. man, woman, homosexual, or animal. he even teaches us to love our enemies, why cant you at least be civil to other human beings. i bet you are all proud of your filthy mouths and tainted hearts, arent you? it is not your place to dictate how others live their lives, you are only asked to lead by example. because as right as you think you are, you are ALL disgusting human beings who deserve to have your voice diminished into the wind. i hope when you get to the pearly gates and the time comes for your judgement, God has mercy on all our souls.

go ahead take as many days off as you need because the world will get along just fine without gays. god gave us all the right to choose [and being gay is a choice not a natural state of human life] weather it is right or wrong but not the right to force your choice or lifestyle on anyone else. it is my resonability as a christan to tell you that homosexuality IS WRONG. So if it is your choice keep it in your bedroom not in the public eye. It is a natural state of being for one man and one woman to be married and be as one by having children, lets see some gay couple do that. the only way gays can reproduce is by recruitment. gay people have all the same rights that any other person who wants to have sex with who ever or what ever they want. if the gay community thinks there lifestyle is right then the next time you have a gay parade, instead of carrying signs that say " i am proud to be gay" you should be more honest and truthful and have signs that say " I sick my dick in other mens ass holes" or "I need a strapon to get my partner off". I will not ask if you don't tell, keep it in your bedroom!!

Hello haters!
Im a lesbian and I thought I tell you a bit about my goals in life. I want a job that pays enough to live without worries and that I´m happy to do for the next 30 years.I want to find someone that loves me more than anything else in the world and vise versa.I want to get married and have children.I want the house outside of the city with the white picket fence. Sounds familliar to you? Well maybe that´s because those are the same things that you want.Because we are just like you.We have the same goals and ambitions in life.Does it really matter that much that we come home to a partner of the same sex? And if you know want to start telling me that the bible says it´s wrong think about this.Have you ever thought about that you can´t take everything the bible says literally?How did people hear of stories 2000 years ago?There were only a few who could read or write.So if there was something that people wanted everybody else to know they just told it to everybody.And those people told it to other people.And as everybody has their own way of telling a story everytime a story was told somebody left out a word or put another one in.That is already the first thing how the original bible text was changed.Than when those stories were finally written down they were written in hebrew.Than when the bible made it´s way around the world it was translated into other languages so everybody would understand what it said.And if you ever learned a new language you will know that not everything can be translated.There are always some words that don´t excist in other languages.So you have to find another word.That is the second thing that changed the original text of the bible.So you still want to tell me I have l obey every word the bible says?

Jesus still loves you and wants you to repent, you can walk away from this sin at any time with the strength of Christ, just like any other addiction. A day without a gay mean nothing but less sin in the world which would actualy be a good thing. A day with Jesus is what you all need.
