Yer bigotry, ignorance, intolerance and hatred must really run deep if you've just now noticed the colours of the NBC peacock, thinking they've just recently appeared in support of the TGLB community! The stupidity is almost hilarious... -Mike 28 June 2015 | Jack Flanagan "A Facebook user Don Stair was evidently tired with brands lining up to support the LGBTI community: so he posted on KARK 4 News - NBC’s Arkansas news station - telling them they should be ashamed." --gaystarnews.com One viewer thought NBC had changed its logo to support 'the gays'

OH my turtles I need the clock to move faster and Nikki to get home. I really really need hugs. So on top of the passing yesterday I'm dealing with, I get to work already kinda shaky and stomach ill, and I say good morning to big boss every day as I pass him and he looks up at me and says in a weirdly sympathetic voice "I understand you had an interesting evening last night". And I'm comletely freaked out. My brain is going "HOw did he know he died? Wait, did he find out about Nikki? Or is he talking about me sticking my head in my wreath on door and nearly getting suck? HOW THE HELL WOULD HE KNOW ANY OF HTIS? What is this?" Apparently my mom had an emergency appen…

So asking for some positive energy...prayer ....whatever works for you. My 14 year old dog, who is the love of my life, suffered a stroke on Thursday. His left legs are very weak. He turns out his left front leg to the point it looks like it should break. I have been told he is not in pain. I did just give him a warm bath and massage. That seemed to help. It's times like this that I wish I had a support system

Another fine example of homophobia at it's very best...and the "legal" ways by which people can exercise their bigotry and get away with it. -Mike Filed: Thursday, September 13, 2012 "Cequada Clark, who has headed the adult cosmetology program since 2009, said she first learned of Principal Thomas Amons’ aversion to gay men after they both attended a regional cosmetology hair competition last April ... Amons had consulted with a staff attorney for the Beaumont Independent School District who informed him that he couldn’t exclude (Gray) based on his sexual orientation, but that as the principal of the school, he could decide to no longer offer the program." -lgbtq…

_________________________________________________________ TSA seems to prove at every turn that they have no respect or regard for anyone, and seem to deal with passengers with some special brand of contempt. Even in a statement in an update to the article, their attitude seems to clearly indicate that they don't believe one of their agents acted as was reported. If this story is true, which I have no reason to believe it isn't, I can only believe that if TSA has agents who have no respect for the remains of someone's loved one... how can we ever expect them to have respect for transpeople? Respect is respect no matter where it comes from, and no matter to where i…

Does anyone remember the cartoon, Beanie and Cecil? Cecil the seasick sea serpent. Yea I know I am old but come on. Even people that are older than me don't remember. They also don't remember Nestles Triple decker bar. Best candy bar ever made. Did I grow up in the twilight zone?

I'm looking to compile as many stories of encounters with La Llorona as I can. Actual encounters with her. Not movies or TV shows. So, I'm asking has anyone here seen or heard her? Do you know someone who has? If so get in touch with me.

I would have made this a blog post, but I honestly don't know what to say. My baby, Lady, has cancer. The vet said she won't make it through the year. Lady is the love of my life. I would die for her, and I will die with her. I don't know who and what I'll become after losing her, but I will definitely be different. I love her so much I can't even begin to describe it. Possibly more than even Adrianne.

Sometimes I read the news and I just get angry. Some recent research into a news matter led me to the EqualityMatters.com web site. Did you know that 18 states still criminalize consensual sexual activity between same-sex partners? At least 12 of these states make such activity a felony offense. It is absolutely unacceptable that some state laws continue to target our people who have done nothing wrong. Oddly, I see Massachusetts on the list. I've thought of them as a progressive state, but they still haven't removed their law from the books, and they had one of the stiffest penalties for homosexual activity.

We celebrated early as my friend's mother needed to get home early and her daughter has to be at work (Macy's) by 4:30. I was pleasantly surprised that traffic was light on the way home but just the opposite heading to her place. When taking the picture I commented that my high heels made me tower over them so this is what they did

Politics is the art of looking for trouble; finding it everywhere; diagnosing it incorrectly; and applying the wrong remedies!.... Groucho Marx!

Very fun (and short video). Nice name for the actress too! Paper is not dead!

Wow. And I thought I had a lot of guns. I'm 100% sure he has modified at least one of those rifles to be fully automatic. Which adds another felony on top of his crimes. Not even the military is fully automatic. They only employ a 3 shot burst. At least with the M16's.

I have a very dear friend that lives in the Philippines. I have no idea how him or his family made out. Asking for your good thoughts and prayers for him and his family, and for all that live there. And to be totally honest, this good friend is my ex. We have always had a great relationship and now, a great friendship. I truly hope him and his family are safe.

While the US's president made history being the first to mention gay rights in his inaugural speech for his second term, Brits may be paving the way to make sure their next king or queen will be so, whether gay or straight... U.K.: Law Proposed to Accommodate a Gay King or Queen

So i ordered a pair of jeans to try to see how I like the size since my current jeans fell off. Luckily, in the house before I had any dumb ideas of wearing them outside. Dash diet works for weight loss on lazy people like me. SO...I ordered what I think is my new size, just one as a test to see if i like the fit/cut. My pants left Indianapolis, INdiana a week ago. And they hurtled on some fedex truck towards me here in Ohio and...hurtled right on by me for no reason I can explain to the OTHER side of Pennsylvania. Yeah, the NJ side. LOL Then they took a little trip up into Maryland I guess to catch the early fall color? I hope these pants have a great story to …

Violence is never a good thing, but this time, instead of an LGBT person being beaten by a hater, the hater was beaten by LGBT people. Hopefully, this will be one guy that will think twice before being disrespectful to someone again just because they are different than he is. Written by WiG, Oct 18, 2012 A group of apparently gay Atlanta Waffle House patrons fought back when a customer hurled the word “faggot” at them. A video of the scuffle posted on the site World Star Hip Hop on Oct. 16 shows a group of angry patrons punching, slapping and kicking the homophobe to the ground after he used the anti-gay slur. Meanwhile, onlookers cheer the attackers. “Get mad,…

About one in every 10,000 chickens is gynandromorphous, to use the technical term. In medieval times, they might have been burned at the stake, as witches' familiars. But now these chickens are shedding important new light on how birds, and perhaps reptiles, develop. It used to be thought that hormones instructed cells to develop in male or female-specific ways. That's what happens in mammals, including humans, and it leads to secondary sexual characteristics like facial hair for men or breasts for women. But scientists at the Roslin Institute and the University of Edinburgh say they have discovered that bird cells don't need to be programmed by hormones. …

recently this transwoman that i know began hating on me and telling me that because of my mental illness that i will never be allowed to transition because im bat***t crazy. i was not only appalled by this but i was already having a bad day as it was. here below is her video of how i feel she is a hypocrite. half way through the video she starts stripping down to her bikini on youtube knowing that this is a no no tos violation. the full coversation i had with her on facebook is below as well..... rosie o kelly: do you have a job? me; umm...im on ssi...i cant work. rosie o kelly: then drop your ssi and get a job you will do better. me: i cant do that as my doctor de…

How My Four-Year-Old Son Came Out to Me: As Straight "Tommy has two moms and one gay biological dad. But at the age of 4, he had an announcement: He wasn't like us..." I love this story! Just had to share it here. ~ Lori

Fifteen-year-old Laurel posted a photo of a cake she made for her parents as a way of announcing that she is a lesbian. Loud and proud in bright green frosting, the cake reads, "I'm gay." ... http://news.yahoo.co...-225145896.html

I saw this online several years ago and saved it.
