ATTENTION LGBT CITIZENS: "There has long been a profound lack of dignity and seriousness in our public presentation..."

"I think it’s time for the Gay “community” to decide what it really wants: To be seen as a radical counterculture that defines itself primarily by sexual behavior, or to be seen as fully entitled American citizens who, like the heterosexual population, are not defined primarily by sexual behavior. That decision has not been taken."


When gayAmericablog staff cite people like Dan Savage as leaders, who cheerfully refers to himself as a “faggot” when he appears on TV, I know that decision has not been taken. When San Francisco assemblyman Tom Ammiano publicly refers to himself as a “queen” and the Gay media adores it, I know that decision has not been taken. When activists cheer after a Lesbian biker club wins a copyright for the name “Dykes on Bikes”, I know that decision has not been taken.




When Pride parades thrive on frivolty, intoxication, exhibitionism and shock value, and fail to communicate the gravity of living as a Gay person in this world, I know that decision has not been taken.
Do we really think that kind of retrograde language and display works to the benefit of a Victor Fehrenbach or a Dan Choi?

Why Aren’t Queers Taken Seriously?

There has long been a profound lack of dignity and seriousness in our public presentation. And we wonder why it’s so easy for our enemies to get anti-Gay amendments passed.

I’ll tell you one big reason why: We make it easy for them!"

MANY GAY PEOPLE PLAY INTO THE HANDS OF HOMOPHOBES AND HELP DENY OR RETARD EQUAL RIGHTS

"Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his marchers would not have earned the international respect they had if they'd come across in the media like Butterfly McQueen and Stepin Fetchit. With all due respect to Marc Shaiman and his Prop 8 musical on YouTube, a Civil Rights movement is not a comedy skit. If we want respect, our presentation has got to indicate as much. Even more to the point: if we want respect, it's got to start with our own self-perception.

Too many of us truly believe we are "queers", "faggots", "queens", "dykes", etc. The oppressor tells us who we are, and we fail to challenge his definition. We don't even have the ambition to challenge his terminology. We've got some work to do, and it begins by taking a hard look in the mirror." HERE


Heterosexuals freely frolic/sexually "act-out" at Mardi Gras, New Orleans with little condemnation or moral castigation or religiousdriven ridicule. "Love the Sinner" is heard throughout the land!

Religious right group push phony photo to make the case against gay adoption


"The picture above symbolize how religious right groups demonize the lgbt community. According to the Orlando Sentinel's Scott Mawell:

On the left is the picture that the Florida Family Policy Council of Orlando, used to illustrate the gay couple that was awarded custody of a relative. It appeared under the headline: "FL judge violates law, places child in homosexual adoption" (on the right) is the actual couple." HERE

Why Aren’t Queers Taken Seriously?

NEVER FORGET: Almost everyone from the Pope, the Archbishop of Canterbury and foul mouthed Pat Robertson DEMONIZE, MARGINALIZE and TRY TO BELITTLE/DISMISS LGBT people on a regular basis. These not-so-loving spiritual/religious leaders obviously use every form of distraction from TRUTH, to continue their FALSEHOODS and fear/hate and selective-Scriptural-driven SLANDER (try "intrinsically disordered" and "against Natural Order" plus a large dose of "Satanic" on for size) directed specifically to publically DEMORALIZE and OUTCAST people like US.

Equality, Dignity, Integrity and Human Rights are no laughing matter!
Dominionist* Vultures are Circling for Prey

*¨Dominionism describes, in several distinct ways, a tendency among some conservative politically-active Christians, especially in the United States of America, to seek influence or control over secular civil government through political action—aiming either at a nation governed by Christians, or a nation governed by a conservative Christian understanding of biblical law. The use and application of this terminology is a matter of controversy.¨ HERE


Nobody's Queer In Big Eden

"Big Eden fairly screams tradition and shamelessly embraces mainstream values. Nobody is "queer" there. Some folks couldn't handle the juxtaposition of "liberal" same-gender desire with "conservative" community values; no doubt they found the politics of Big Eden lacking in revolutionary vision. They must have been blind! Thomas Bezucha's daring approach to screwball comedy was more revolutionary by far than anything his critics could ever hope to achieve with their "reclaimed" pejoratives and obvious preference for pessimistic, semi-pornographic Gay storylines. In fact, the premise of Big Eden is so progressive, it makes Brokeback Mountain look like a tepid remake of The Boys In The Band in comparison..."
