Anti-Gay Lies

“In actuality, homosexual unions have a very short lifespan; many of the same-sex “marriages” in Massachusetts are already being dissolved. Further, the health risks associated with homosexual practice are very real and very much in evidence in the emergency rooms of hospitals. There is no denying: Homosexual sex is dangerous and destructive to the human body. Both HIV and HPV are epidemic among homosexual men. Domestic violence is a common problem — twice as prevalent among homosexual couples as in heterosexual ones.”

Do You Have a Confession?

This one time, I had gone on a date with a really cute boy. During the date he introduced me to his friend who was also really cute. I had sex with both of them in the same day, different times.

The above is only one of the real confessions you’ll find outside the church at: Daily Gay Confessions where they want to hear your innermost secrets…anonymously!

Meet the Gayjacents

A new survey carried out by Smooch.com reveals that nearly 2 out of 5 people think it is important to have a Gay friend.

With the end of the ‘Noughties’ rapidly approaching, the rise of the gay figures on our screens in the past decade has undoubtedly had an effect on society. It would appear that the success of programmes such as How to Look Good Naked and Will and Grace has prompted a rise in ‘Gayjacents’.

The results show that it was most important to the younger age categories to have a gay friend. 18-24 year olds are twice as likely to rate gay friendships ‘Very Important’ than those aged 41-50. Similarly those aged 25-30 are almost twice as likely to want a gay friend than those aged 36-40. This is arguably a consequence of the increasing diversity in society compared to 15 or 20 years ago.

Unsurprisingly, having a gay friend was 5 time more important to women than it was to men. This trend is undoubtedly influenced by today’s celebrity culture, whether it be Madonna, Kylie or Katie Price, it seems that female celebrities are setting the standard for women everywhere.

LGBT V. Queer

I know mainstream culture has begun to use “queer” as a synonym with “gay/lesbian” with such shows as “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “Queer as Folks” but they really aren’t the same. It’s like asking the difference between a cappuccino and a latte – to the untrained eye there’s no difference but there really is.

“Gay/Lesbian” are sexual identities. It means that the person who identifies as gay/lesbian are sexually attracted to people of the same sex. This does not mean they are sexually attracted to EVERYONE of the same sex – which is a common misunderstanding, it means simply they are attracted to people of the same sex as they are. It’s just like if someone is straight, they aren’t attracted to EVERYONE of the opposite gender. It’s the same way with being gay and lesbian. For example, my brother is a classic example of a gay bear. He is a bear that likes other bears. Bears tend to be heavy-set and hairy. That’s his type and what he likes. Like stereotypical gays/lesbians, he supports Pride and the HRC, and gay marriage is an issue he cares about. Other characteristics of gays and lesbians include wanting the right to adopt and serve openly in the military. Gays/lesbians usually try to assimilate to mainstream culture to fit in. They are gay/lesbian but want to be just like your average heterosexual. Basically, they want sameness and equality – which are two totally different things.

Can The “Gay Press” Report On Prop 8 Without Bias ?

In regards to the question in the title of this posting, in this writer’s opinion the answer for the most part is no.

Particularly in the case of many of the ”well respected” gay blogs such as Pam’s House Blend, Americablog Gay, Box Turtle Bulletin, Joe My God and others. One only has to read their blogs when covering events, either on scene or starting with mainstream media sources and then putting their own bias spin on news, just as FOX News does in their “news reporting”.

When I decided to “provide coverage” of the Prop 8 trial last month I opted to use the mainstream press for a next day “briefing” of what took place and with no commentary, unless clearly labeled as such as is this posting.

And there in lies the problem with a great many LGBT blogs and even websites. What passes for “news” is in fact commentary, biased of course with the LGBT slant. And nothing wrong with that, each publisher should decided how and in what form they wish to offer “news”.

But as the Fox News Channel is often slammed for being a news channel with “fair and balanced” reporting, but in actuality presenting news often with a conservative slant and more in the way of opinion, so too are many in the LGBT press, media and the so-called “Citizen Journalist” bloggers, offering news and reporting with their own LGBT bias slant.
