Really Gay Room

""I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been gay, and gay is better.' And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it's not, but for me it's a choice, and you don't get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it's a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn't matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not."" - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

yeah who really cares.. and if anyone cares-- Really why do u care ?? - Peter Dawson

"Although the report found that 81% of respondents are out in their professional life, and that 94% are honest about their sexuality to their fellow performers, only 57% list their agent as someone they are open about their sexuality to. Comments left by respondents highlight how actors feel that telling agents and casting directors will limit the parts they are offered" - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Randy Roberts Potts likes to say he grew up 50 feet and a million miles away from firebrand televangelist Oral Roberts. Now openly gay and a pariah to his family, the 37 year-old is on a mission of his own: to undo his grandfather's legacy by preaching in churches and touring the Bible belt with his new performance piece, "The Gay Agenda". - Derrick from Bookmarklet

"If I wanted to slim down after the holidays, he suggested, I should try to eat like a gay man. One of the tongue-in-cheek propositions of Mr. Doonan’s new book, “Gay Men Don’t Get Fat” (Blue Rider Press, $24.95), is that the vast range of the world’s culinary options can be boiled down to two core categories: gay food and straight food. Seeking out a balanced diet of both is the savviest way to stay svelte. Think of it, if you must, as bisexual eating." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

I hope so, because I certainly know some fat gay men ;o) - Melly Botts

"That's right, there are all sorts of secrets that Ted and Ned, the nice gay couple next door to you with the matching BMWs and the prim sweater sets aren't telling you, probably starting with the reason they have those bolts in the ceiling of the "den" (It's for the sling and "den" is gay for "sex room"). Now, it's time to let the straights in on some of our dirty little secrets. Let's see if you still like us after this. Yes, I don't speak for all of the homosexuals, but, come on, queen, try to tell me this isn't true!" - Derrick from Bookmarklet

That was incredibly funny. - Nine

"Growing up I always knew that there was something different about me; I just wasn’t sure what. I just knew I had an attraction toward guys, ever since I was about 9 years old and had a crush on a fifth grader during summer school. I was 17 years old when I discovered I was undocumented. My dad broke the news to me that I wouldn’t be able to get a driver’s license because we were “different” from everyone else. His words were subtle but I understood. My parents warned me not to disclose my immigration status to anyone, fearing that I would be treated differently. I recently came out of both “closets” after coming together with other queer and undocumented folks for the first time in my life." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

"A Southern California teen who pleaded guilty to killing a gay classmate was sentenced Monday to 21 years in prison. Brandon McInerney, 17, will serve time in a juvenile detention center until he turns 18, at which point he will be transferred to the custody of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. He will get no credit for time already served, and was ordered to pay $10,000 in restitution." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

""You know what, I'll put it to you this way," said Melissa, 47, best known for her role on "Little House on the Prairie." "I took her to dinner when she was in her teens and I sat her down and I gave her this long speech about how much I love you and it doesn't matter and you're my darling and blah, blah, blah and you can tell me anything. And she looked and me and she said, 'I'm not gay.' And I was like, 'OK, whatever.'" "Years later she called me and we were having a conversation about something and she said, 'You know, what if I just said that I'm gay,' and I went, 'And?' I mean I think always I kinda knew."" - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Melissa has had some work it appears. It goes without saying that it's her face. I just don't get the concept in general. Wife and Waif went to see her in a performance of (I believe) Little House at the Fox Theater in St. Louis a couple of years ago. They happened to be in the lobby when she came out. Besides Momo, Waif may be the biggest Little House fan in 3 universes. When she... more... - MoTO Bott

"Uganda's president has rejected Western attempts to link international aid with progress on gay rights, saying building infrastructure was more important. Yoweri Museveni said homosexuals need electricity, roads and trains too. President Barack Obama has ordered US government agencies to put gay rights at the heart of foreign policy. "Before anyone gives me a lecture about homosexuals and their rights, first talk about railways," Mr Museveni told delegates at a meeting in Kampala." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

"So why are social conservatives so quick to link bestiality to homosexuality? Well, the generous interpretation is that someone just needs to alert them that gay bears are not actual bears." - Derrick from Bookmarklet

"Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum gave a curious explanation for his opposition to gay marriage at a campaign stop on Monday at a Christian college in Iowa. A recent graduate of the college compared gay marriage to interracial marriage and pressed Santorum on why it would be "a hit to faith and family in America." ABC News reported that the former Pennsylvania senator got agitated and started talking about the perils of gay sex: Santorum then said that if same sex marriage was legalized then "their sexual activity" would be seen as "equal" to heterosexual relationships and it would be taught in schools. "Really--wow--um okay, well let's see if we can have a discussion. We can flesh out some, well, let's look at what's going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity," Santorum said." - The Real sofarsoShawn from Bookmarklet

And Santorums's strain is so strenuous and vile, as if his the success or failure of the whole country is on his evangelical shoulders because of godless fags. Bachann's and co, seems like they're going through the hard right conservative lines that are now just part of the rigamarole of talking points that's become the Republican party. I'm definitely not apologizing for them, but they... more... - The Real sofarsoShawn

"A gay softball organization has agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to three players who were disqualified from its 2008 Gay Softball World Series because of their perceived heterosexuality. And as part of the settlement announced Monday, their team will be awarded the second-place trophy it was denied at the time. The men — Stephen Apilado, Laron Charles and John Russ — filed the federal lawsuit against the North American Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance last year, claiming they had been discriminated against because they were bisexual, not gay." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

"Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) baby boomers face higher rates of physical disabilities, depression and loneliness than their heterosexual counterparts, according to a new study. LGBT adults were also more likely to binge-drink and smoke than heterosexuals of similar ages." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

"On November 2, minutes before voting to pass a new bullying bill, the Michigan State Senate added special language that provides a blueprint for bullies. According to this language, as long as the bullying is done because of "a sincerely held religious belief or moral conviction,” then it's ok. As students, we deserve better. And if enough of us speak up, we can stop this dangerous bill." - Michael W. May from Bookmarklet

"A transsexual woman and an openly gay man took seats in Poland's newly elected parliament Tuesday, historic firsts that reflect profound social change in this traditionally Roman Catholic country." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Philosoraptor, you were #bornthisway and don't feel shame if anyone bully's you because for being yourself. It may seem hard to get through now but you need to know #itgetsbetter. You've always been there for me Philsoraptor and I'll always be there for you. - The Real sofarsoShawn

"When first I was put into prison some people advised me to try and forget who I was. It was ruinous advice. It is only by realising what I am that I have found comfort of any kind. Now I am advised by others to try on my release to forget that I have ever been in a prison at all. I know that would be equally fatal. It would mean that I would always be haunted by an intolerable sense of disgrace, and that those things that are meant for me as much as for anybody else – the beauty of the sun and moon, the pageant of the seasons, the music of daybreak and the silence of great nights, the rain falling through the leaves, or the dew creeping over the grass and making it silver – would all be tainted for me, and lose their healing power, and their power of communicating joy. To regret one's own experiences is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experiences is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul. De Profundis" - The Real sofarsoShawn from Bookmarklet

"A new study by researchers at Indiana University and George Mason University found the sexual repertoire of gay men surprisingly diverse, suggesting that a broader, less disease-focused perspective might be warranted by public health and medical practitioners in addressing the sexual health of gay and bisexual men." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

"At least according to the latest census numbers. The District has 18.1 gay couples per 1,000 households.(Vermont is second, with 8.4 gay couples.) That adds up to 4,822 gay couples in the city. Oddly enough, states with lower rates actually have more gay couples raising children: In North Dakota, where there are only 559 gay couples, 21 percent are raising kids. In D.C., only 9 percent are raising children, which is the lowest number out of all of the jurisdictions listed." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

truth... GAY. I would say mostly younger gay men here. Working in congress, political campaigns, lobbyists, lawyers. - Jason
