Guitar Man from "Too sexy for my shirt"
Maybe it's my impression, but his buddy doesn't seem to enjoy the guitarist's performance...

Please Denounce Anti-Gay Bill in Uganda!
Rick Warren:
Target:
Pastor Rick Warren
Sponsored by:
Political Research Associates
In March 2008, U.S. evangelical leader Rick Warren told Ugandans that homosexuality is not a natural way of life and thus not a human right. One year later, U.S. conservative evangelical and Holocaust revisionist Scott Lively (a resident of Massachusetts) addressed the Family Life Network and Ugandan members of Parliament in March 2009, saying legalizing homosexuality is akin to legalizing "the molestation of children or having sex with animals."
That March meeting launched a campaign that has led directly to today, when the Ugandan legislature is debating an anti-gay bill that would lead to life imprisonment for gay sex, and death for those having same sex relations if they are HIV positive or having sex with someone under 18. Heterosexuals would have no such restrictions. This law, which would also criminalize any human rights organizing for LGBT rights, could be passed any day.
We call on Rick Warren to denounce the antigay legislation proposed in Uganda and challenge his friends like Archbishop Henry Orombi and Pastor Martin Sempa who are leading the charge.
Here in the United States, Rick Warren says he loves gays, but in Africa, need to hear his voice loud and clear that gays and lesbians are entitled to full human rights.
Pastor Warren: Please speak up and denounce the anti-gay bill in Uganda!

The historical Jesus was probably gay
He never married. He had a "beloved disciple". He never condemned homosexuality.
What else do you want?
What else do you want?
The gay marrige debate (greatly simplified) from Pharyngula
I'm all for marriage equality, but what if we were granted the same rights of hetero couples-all except the inflaming "M" word? Would you accept it?
The answer is no.
Marriage should be an option for gay couples as it is for hetero couples. I think it's only a matter of time, some older generations balk at the prospect of "Gay marriage". Well, they're wrong, we're all created equal before God.
WE SHALL OVERCOME!

Ten Ways Homophobia & Transphobia Affect Straight People
http://queersunited.blogspot.com/2009/12/ten-ways-homophobia-transphobia-affect.html?utm_source=fe
1. Homophobia and transphobia force us to act "macho" if we are a man or "feminine" if we are a woman. This limits our individuality and self-expression.
2. Homophobia and transphobia put pressure on straight people to act aggressively and angrily towards LGBTQI people.
3. Homophobia and transphobia can make it harder to be close friends with someone of the same sex.
4. Homophobia and transphobia often strain family and community relationships.
5. Homophobia and transphobia can cause youth to become sexually active before they are ready in order to prove they are "normal." This can lead to an increase in unwanted pregnancies and STIs (sexually transmitted infections).
6. Homophobia and transphobia prevent vital information on sex and sexuality to be readily available in classrooms, medical offices, and other educational venues. Without this information, LGBTQI people are putting themselves at a greater risk for HIV and other STIs (sexually transmitted infections).
7. Homophobia and transphobia can be used to hurt a straight person if they "appear to be gay" and/or express her/his gender outside societal expectations.
8. Homophobia and transphobia make it hard for straight people and LGBTQ people to be friends.
9. Homophobia and transphobia, along with racism, sexism, classism, etc. make it hard to put an end to AIDS.
10. Homophobia and transphobia make it hard to appreciate true diversity and the unique traits that are not “mainstream

A gay christian pondering
Who is near Jesus?
Jesus is looking wistfully at the Earth. Soon it will be his Birthday.
He asks, why?
Next to Him are the victims of hate and selfishness.
Next to Him is Martin Luther King
Next to Him is Gandhi
Next to Him are the victims of the blasphemous suicide murderers that insult the Holy Name of God by claiming they kill innocents in His name, and that they will gain Heaven this way.
They won't.
Next to him is Matthew Shepard, the boy crucified by two homophobes because he was gay.
Haters insult the name of God claiming that God hates homosexuals and that the innocent Matthew Sheperd is in hell.
They won't find him there.
Matthew Sheperd, in Paradise and near to Jesus, prays for his murderers and for those blasphemers' souls.
Next to Jesus are all Beslan's children, and all children died from hunger, malnourishment, exploitation, illness, all those children who have suffered from the cruelty,violence, hatred, selfishness and injustice of men.
Jesus thinks, will they remember me?
Will He be in the minds of men and women, or they will think only of the next ultimate multifunctions cell phone they want for Christmas?
Will He indeed?
