Smiletone Speaks OUT on GA’s BTR Show!

These are trying times to say the least.  The political arena is filled with hate, intolerance, discrimination and oppression towards the LGBT community.  The financial world around us is as unstable as it ever has been, and as there should be, there’s a real tone of somberness when it comes to struggling for equality.  It’s so easy to get caught up in all the negativity that abounds and let ourselves become consumed with the seriousness of the issues surrounding us that we sometimes forget to do one of the simplest, most important things we can do for ourselves mentally and physically…and no, I’m not talking about sex (even though I’m sure that doesn’t hurt).  Sometimes we just have to find it within to take a giant breath…and smile, and that IS the goal of this weekt’s guest on gayagenda.com’s Blog Talk Radio show.

Join us every Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. EST (by clicking here) to listen live!

According to Smiletone:

My three most favorite things to do are smiling, helping people, and dancing! My favorite things are my Blackberry, Coca-Cola, and Cosmopolitan Magazine! I was born in NY, but I have lived all over! I am now a youtuber with the mission to give good advice and make people smile!

Smiletone is just what the doctor ordered to help us get through the trials and tribulations that maintains our sense of seriousness, so don’t miss the opportunity to live a little and forget about the serious side of life for a while.

GA & Kurt Wild Appear on Tyra Banks

Back in November of 2008, GayAgenda.com interviewed Kurt Wild who recently appeared on the Tyra Banks Show.  At the very beginning of the segment entitled “Gay for Pay” they showed a screen shot of of that interview.

Since the show aired much later than it was taped, and the interview GA did with Kurt happened after the show was tapped, I thought it would interesting to let you, our readers compare and contrast.

Check it out…GayAgenda appears at about 1:17
