Thoughts on Gay Pride 2008
2008-06-08 07:42:00
This weekend is Los Angeles Gay Pride (or officially just LA Pride). Given how crazy busy I have been these past weeks, I had intended to spend a quiet day at home, reading and taking it easy, but having been invited to several parties (especially given the hostess of the earlier one), I decided ...

Dedicato al ministro Carfagna il carro principale della parata. All'alba alcuni militanti del gruppo politico cattolico 'Militia Christi' hanno affisso su un muro di Via Cavour, nel centro della capitale , lungo il percorso del "vergognoso Gay Pride", che si svolgerà nel pomeriggio da piazza della Repubblica a piazza Navona, uno striscione con la scritta: "Roma è sacra: no al Gay Pride, orgoglio del male!".

Mara Carfagna ed il Gay Pride
2008-05-20 17:25:00
Mara Carfagna, Ministro delle Pari Opportunità, ha cominciato con il botto, avendo dichiarato che non ci sarà alcun Patrocinio al Gay Pride. Niente di strano, di alternativo, di scandaloso, anzi rientra perfettamente nei valori che stanno alla base della gente di destra. Naturalmente è esplosa la polemica, mossa dai diretti interessati nonché dalla sinistra radicale (o estrema, che dir si voglia), la quale può permettersi di dichiarare persino che l'Italia è sempre più un Paese "talebano" (Manuela Palermi), visto che non ha alcuna rappresentanza parlamentare, per effetto della decisione della maggioranza del popolo italiano. Gli spagnoli ci dicono che siamo razzisti ed i comunisti ci dicono che siamo nazisti (manco fascisti) e questo perché? 1) Vogliamo più sicurezza, perché l'italiano ha la legittima percezione di essere sempre in pericolo; 2) Difendiamo la famiglia (un uomo, una donna ed i figli cons...

Gay pride pisses me off
2008-01-26 23:22:00
First let me say, the idea of gay pride isn’t what I have a problem with, it’s the way people go about expressing it. Think about it. Drag queens prancing around on floats, gay men walking around in thongs and thousands of screaming queens drinking and injecting themselves with whatever substances they can get their hands on. Welcome to Margi Gras, a celebration of being gay. To me, Mardi Gras is just an excuse for gays to get drunk and get their rocks off. For others it signifies a way to say “we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it” and fair enough. But hang on… what about straight people? Where’s their pride parades? Where’s their multi colored flags? I already hear you mouthing “BUT GAY PEOPLE DON’T HAVE RIGHTS!” And you’re right. But excuse my ignorance on this part, How the fuck is having a horde of drag queens and gay men in their underwear achieving anything? The most it’s going to do is sho...

A lot of homophobe violence during Gay Pride Weekend
2007-10-08 21:26:00
At a gay meeting spot at the Haarlemse Staten Bolwerk a 45-year old man was beaten and robbed last Friday night. The police think the man from Haarlem was assaulted because he is gay. He sustained injuries in his face, his back and one knee. The man was cruising at the city park Staten Bolwerk, said the police. He met a young man who asked him what he was doing in the park. Even before he could answer the guy hit him in the face. He kept punching and the victim lost consciousness for a short while.The police think that the guy has kicked and punched his victim while he was already down. He also robbed him from his wallet. During our busy Pride festival several gays have been assaulted. A gay Irishman got seriously hurt on Saturday night after he and his Spanish friend were attacked with ‘a solid instrument’ on the Nassaukade near the Kinkerstraat. The perpetrators, who got away, were a Dutch man in his early twenties and an Arabic / Moroccan looking man in his late twenties. The...

Gay Pride of the Yankees
2007-09-02 15:05:00
When Metro Sexual becomes more than just fashion. The shocking tale of New York Yankee's shortstop Derek Jeter, and what kind of all-star he is off the field. Derek Jeter has been linked to some very beautiful women. It's like he picks them off the front covers of people and other straight magazines. But the fact is that since Derek Jeter's rookie year the Yankee's have never been able to keep a bat boy longer than a month. " Derek just has a very different idea of what a "Yank" is." Said former team mate Wade Boggs. Apparently the situation is getting worse. "It's like a guy just can't get in the shower around here without Derek, jumping in and offering to soap you down, and he says its because he is thinking about Jessica Alba, but nobody else has full erections in the showers," said a player that refused to be named. The worst part is that it has been distracting the team, who just can not seem to catch the Red Sox. Jeter would not comment hi...

Gay Pride Flag Will Not Fly In Truro
2007-08-08 12:25:00
The Truro council has voted 6-1 in favor of not allowing the gay pride flag to fly at the town hall during the gay pride activities. The flag is normally displayed to show respect to the community during events supporting the movement. The town has since been labeled as disrespectful and non accepting to homosexual persons.Since the town is allowing the activities to take place with no objections I would be hesitant to call the entire city disrespectful. The decision was made by seven people only and not a popular vote so do not judge the residents.The real dispute came when Mayor Bill Mills stated the following:"God says I'm not in favour of that and I have to look at it and say, I guess I'm not either,""If I have a group of people that says pedophiles should have rights, do we raise their flag too? I don't want to lump them in with homosexuals, but that's the point, the issues, and that's my feeling."This was an unfair comparison between the gay community and those who commit...
News & Current Events :: Christian Mayor Rejects 'Gay Pride' Flag in Canada

Author: Eric Subject: Christian Mayor Rejects 'Gay Pride' Flag in CanadaPosted: Tue Aug 07, 2007 7:05 pm (GMT -4) Christian Mayor Rejects 'Gay Pride' Flag Knows decision unpopular but says he must abide by Bible Motivated by Christian beliefs, a Canadian mayor refused to fly a rainbow "gay pride" flag at his town hall. The decision by Bill Mills was backed by the town council of Truro, Nova Scotia, with a 6-1 vote Friday, reported the Canadian television network CTV. "There are writings in the book of Romans chapter one, to name a few – basically I have to go with that conviction, and I know it's not a popular one," said Mills, who leads a town of about 12,000 people. Mills contended he had a right to his opinion, but a local homosexual activist group called the decision a sign of homophobia in a government that should be secular. "It's about having a welcoming community ... and having people feel comfortable where they live,"...

World's Biggest Gay Pride Parade
2007-07-07 02:47:00
Sao Paulo hosts world's largest gay pride paradeSAO PAULO, Brazil -- Millions of people packed the streets of Sao Paulo for what organizers said was the world's largest gay pride parade, dancing and waving rainbow flags in a carnival-like atmosphere to condemn homophobia, racism and sexism. At least 3 million people filled the canyonlike Paulista Avenue on Sunday, organizers said, surpassing last year's count of 2.5 million. The larger count was confirmed by a police spokesman who is not authorized to be quoted by name under department rules. "This is the biggest parade on the planet," Tourism Minister Marta Suplicy said. "Our city is showing, once again, its respect for diversity." In comparison, recent gay pride parades in New York and San Francisco have drawn tens of thousands of people, and world gay pride day celebrations in Berlin in 2004 attracted between 200,000 and 500,000 participants.(AP) Participants kiss each other during the annual Gay Pride Parade in Sao Paulo,...

Gay Pride Parade Gets Dose of Religion

NEW YORK CITY –”Gay pride,” it seems, got a dose of religion on Sunday, June 24.

Army and Royal Air Force ban personnel attending Gay Pride parade from marc
2007-06-26 15:00:00
The Army and Royal Air Force has banned personnel attending the Gay Pride parade from marching in uniform. The Times reports that about 125 servicemen and women have told organisers of the march that they would like to take part. But the Royal Air Force has said personnel who wear uniform to march in the parade in London this Saturday (30 June) will face disciplinary action. Last week, the head of the Army issued orders banning soldiers from marching in uniform. The Royal Navy, which is a member of the Stonewall Diversity Champions good practice scheme, allows sailors to march in uniform and uses it as a recruitment opportunity. The Ministry of Defence is keen to promote all the armed services as good employers for minority groups, including gay and lesbian staff.
News & Current Events :: Religious Groups Lead This Year's Gay Pride Celebr
2007-06-25 14:02:00
Author: Eric Subject: Religious Groups Lead This Year's Gay Pride CelebrationsPosted: Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:02 am (GMT -4) Religious Groups Lead This Year's Gay Pride Celebrations KAREN MATTHEWS NEW YORK — Religious groups led New York's gay-pride parade Sunday, lending gravity to an event that also featured drag queens in feather boas, marching bands, motorcycle-riding lesbians, rugby players and samba dancers. "We stand for a progressive religious voice," said Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum of New York City's Congregation Beth Simchat Torah. "Those who use religion to advocate an anti-gay agenda, I believe, are blaspheming God's name." The annual parade, one of dozens around the nation and the world, commemorates the 1969 Stonewall riots in which patrons at a Greenwich Village gay bar fought back against a police raid. At San Francisco's festival, the wife of Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards marked the occasion by splitting with her husband...
John Edwards Supports Gay Pride: Mainstream Recognition for the LGBT Commun
2007-06-22 22:48:00
For the first time in U.S. history, a candidate for President is coming out of the closet to support the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) community. Through his wife, anyway. It's been a long wait, my friends, and I am sorry this mainstream support could not have come sooner. But here it is: Elizabeth Edwards, spouse of presidential candidate, John Edwards, will be the keynote speaker at the Alice B. Toklas Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Democratic Club breakfast (that is a mouthful!) this coming Sunday.I cannot wait to read the transcript of Elizabeth Edwards' speech, or to see a snippet of it. What will she say? She was a gifted attorney during her earlier career and is the author of Saving Graces, a memoir that covers the tragic death of their son, Wade, her own struggles with breast cancer that are still ongoing, her life as a military brat, and how she found strength from the support of her community throughout it all.During the John Edwards bid for the Whi...

Gay Pride March
2007-06-22 12:52:00
The Gay Pride March was the hot topic this week. Most of the blogs I've read have been very sensible (I don't like reading blogs that aren't sensible). I've avoided writing about it because I didn't have time to think about how to express myself. My chevrusa cancelled on me this morning, so I'll try and write down some thoughts now, for what they are worth.the parade was yesterday. What happened (as best I understand) is that 2000 paraders mached for about 200 yards while protected by 8000 police men. There was a Hareidi Tehillim session several blocks away with 3000 people praying. There were 20 arrests, but no violence (although there had been in the week leading up to it).I don't think those who know me would accuse me of being anti-gay. I have friends who are homosexual and have been involved in classes and sessions (and on the panel discussion for one of the screenings of 'Trembling Before G-d'), not to mention that I invited Rabbi Steve Greenberg to speak in Leeds.But...

A Young Blogger Offers Thoughts on Gay Pride
2007-06-17 19:31:00
In an e-mail this morning, That Gay Conservative alerted me to a great piece on Gay Pride on Reality Mugged Me. It’s particularly impressive that Nate Nelson, the blogger, who offered these intelligent insights is only 23 years old. I dare say we have a lot to expect from him. Perhaps it’s his Buckeye background Like yours truly (also an Ohio native), Nate skipped out on Pride this year, being “ambivalent toward the whole gay pride extravaganza.” I passed on Pride two years ago as well, penning a post where I wrote: “I’ve always wondered about term ‘Pride.’ I mean, I’m not proud to be gay. Nor am I ashamed to be gay. I just am gay.“ In a similar vein, Nate writes: I am not proud. I am proud to be the man I am, a gay man, a gay American man, a gay American man in the Republican Party. But I am not proud to be a part of the gay community. I am not proud to say that the gay community’s leaders are employing intimid...

Moscow gay pride - unprecedented violence
2007-05-28 09:00:00
More than 30 people were arrested including European parliamentarians during attempted Moscow Gay Pride march that ended up with violent attacks from neo-Nazis and orthodox priests. Russian riot police used force to stop the demonstration organized by gay activist who wanted to address Moscow mayor with petition who earlier banned the Gay Pride. Hundreds of skinheads hurled eggs and stones at gay activists screaming:"Death to homosexuals" as police was silently watching the attacks. German MP Volker Beck, Italian MEP Marco Capatto and British gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell were beaten and detained by the police. After Peter Tatchell was released he told that police was humiliating him together with three other anti-gay demonstrators as they found he was a member of sexual minority. There are people who were seriously injured during the demonstration, bleeding and asking for help while none of the police officers reacted. A petition signed by 50 MEPs was meant to appeal for h...
