“At no point did any of us
want to do anything that would distinguish it from how we would fall in love
with somebody. To my knowledge, there is no difference in how heterosexual and
homosexual people fall in love. A lot of people are quick to ask if it’s a gay
love story—well, yes, they are gay characters, but it’s just a love story.”
As it should be; a love story
is about two people falling in love and
there really is no difference between the way straight folks and gay folks do
it.
"Oh god if anyone comes
out I’m like 'good for you!' I get a little frustrated with the people that
half come out, the people who are like 'I don’t want to talk about it, I wanna
keep it real. Everyone knows you’re gay; you just look ashamed, just shut up
and say it! It really pisses me off, not because I feel like everyone has to
bare their soul all the time, people don’t have to know all the private details
of their lives, but it’s nothing to be f**king ashamed of, so why act ashamed?!
It drives me crazy."
Which is why I think everyone
should come out; not doing so perpetuates the myth of shame, of embarrassment,
of the idea that gay is wrong.
It isn’t; come out already.
Kevin Swanson, a Colorado “pastor”, blaming the recent floods
in the state on "decadent homosexual activity" abortion and marijuana
rights:
"Let me ask you this: is it a coincidence that this was
the worst year politically in the history of Colorado, at least if you use
God’s law as a means of determining human ethics, our legislators did the worst
possible things this year than I have ever witnessed in the twenty years I’ve
been in Colorado. Our legislators committed homosexual acts on the front page
of the Denver Post, do you remember that? So here we have the very worst year
in Colorado’s year in terms of let’s kill as many babies as possible, let’s
make sure we encourage as much decadent homosexual activity as possible, let’s
break God’s law with impudence at every single level, at every single level
let’s make sure that we offend whoever wrote the Bible, so we have the worst
year possible politically in the state of Colorado and it happens to be the
worst year ever in terms of flood and fire damage in Colorado’s history. That
is a weird coincidence; interesting to say the least."
Yes, God, rather than punish, say The Gays for being photographed
kissing one another, of a woman who had an abortion because it’s her right, or
a pot smoker lighting up because it’s his or her right, Swanson’s God, rather than
punish those ‘evil’ folks, punishes the entire state of Colorado, even and
especially the innocents.
If that’s Kevin Swanson's idea of God—punishing everyone for
the ALLEGED sins of a few—he can have
her.
"This craziness must
stop now and this is a 'line drawn in the sand' that is worth fighting for with
all our strength. If we bend to the crazies then there will be no end to their
extortion. In fact, what will end is democracy itself as a tiny extremist minority
representing less than 20% of Americans have their way."
The GOP, so desperate to keep
its base, is bowing down to this fringe group out of fear.
Hmm, I wonder what would
happen if the GOP strapped on their balls and said ‘No’ to the Tea Party?
I think they might just disappear.
“My daughter
[Chastity]’s sex change gave me a deeper – a visceral – understanding of gender and sexual
politics. But it took me a little while. I had friends who changed their gender,
but it took Chaz going through it for me to really feel it.”
It’s like not understanding
gay people until you meet one of us. It makes it all so much clearer when you
actually know the LGB or T person.
“I don’t talk about what I do with my vagina, and they’re
all intrigued. I’ve never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder:
What does she do with her vagina? Plus, I play a butch girl all the time, so
they assume I’m a lesbo…Eh, they’re not too far off. I’ve gone both ways. I do
as I please. I am too f**king curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men
are intriguing. So are chicks.”
Um, Michelle? Honey?
You just talked about what you do with your vagina.
But, congrats for coming out … finally.
Michele Bachmann, the Republican Representative and Tea Party Pass-Around Girl, from Minnesota, gloating over the government shutdown:
"We're really very energized today, we're very strong. This is about the happiest I've seen members in a long time because we see that we're starting to win this dialogue on a national level."
Um, if winning means putting 800,000 people out of a job while you sit on your fat, married to a closeted queer man, ass, then happy you are, I guess.
The rest of us? Not so much.
