If you have seen the movie Milk or plan on seeing the movie Milk then you must check out this old 1984 Oscar winning documentary The Times of Harvey Milk which is now on Hulu. It covers the life of the gay historic icon Harvey Milk and the events that surrounded him. Unlike the Sean Penn movie this documentary dives more into the background life and upbringing of Harvey Milk. Further it also details the criminal trial that occurred after Harvey was murdered and the White Night Riots(The Day of my birthday… quite coincidental) that erupted afterwords.
This documentaries historical footage was quite showing for me. The scare tactics that came out of John Briggs mouth when defending Proposition 6 were most nearly echoed by the thousands of Yes on Prop 8 supporters during this election. It is really scary actually seeing the parallels of the two different campaigns.
While looking for some gay documentaries I came across this old 30 Days Episode. 30 Days, a show crafted by Morgen Spurlock, takes a person for a 30 day trip in which they live the life of someone who is the polar opposite of themselves. In this particular episode a Bible fearing straight man is sent off to the Castro for 30 days with the gay folks. I got a lot out of the show. At first I felt really bad for the straight guy because he was surround by a bunch of “crazy” gay people, but then after a while I came to realized that everywhere else it is the other way around. I’m a gay guy living in a straight persons world and I have no issue with it, but if you take an average straight guy and throw him in a gay mans world… well their will be some issues as seen in the video bellow. That is were the double standard lies.
Was perfect. Right now the only thing I here at this momment is the pitter patter of me typing on my new MacBook Pro. By far this was one of the most pleasently suprising Christmases I have ever had mostly due in part to this fine peice of machinery that lays before me and also $13,000 yearly scholarship for Hofrstra gave me quite a pleasent shock as well. Other than that I got to indulge myself in the whole Christmas spirt thing. I met relatives ate food and in general had a really good time. I most defintaly am still taking this whole family Christmas thing for granite though hopefully College will make me realize it.
Oh and I will be on stickam quite often due to that I have a sick labtop to go live from. So check it out.
So there is this old religious dude in Italy who I think is the Pope or something like that. Well ya he had this whole little speech thing today which was really exciting for him. Anyway this Pope feller kind of took a line from the movie The Day the Earth Stood Still when he spoke about how the Roman Catholic Church defends God’s Creation
“it does not only defend the earth, water and the air… but (it) also protects man from his own destruction,”
When he talks about man bringing his own destruction he is of course talking about those dangerous homosexuals who are destroying the fabric of society. Right?
Really I don’t understand whats so destructive about us gay folk. Yes gay sex is a bit more prone to AIDS, but Lesbian sex on the other hand is a whole heck of a lot safer than Gay sex or even Straight sex. Really instead of teaching girls about safe sex maybe we should just enlighten them about the merits of having sex with other girls due to safety reasons.
If I’m destructive because I’m gay the Pope must be destructive too. Because neither of us are going to start procreating any time soon.
This whole 81 year old Pope dude sounds like some sort of senile grandpa who is going on some random rant about how crazy all them young folk are. At least he is one of those hippy tree hunger grandpas.
While many Americans fight for gay marriage there is still a global struggle for decriminalizing gay marriage. Today Argentina speaking of the behalf of over 60 counties asked the global community for a small tiny favor.
“…take all the necessary measures, in particular legislative or administrative, to ensure that sexual orientation or gender identity may under no circumstances be the basis for criminal penalties, in particular executions, arrests or detention.”
Basically they are just asking countries not to execute gay people.
Syria and a bunch of other counties would not hear of such a farce.
“The “ominous usage” of the notion of orientation could be seen as to go beyond an individual’s sexual interest and could possibly legitimize many deplorable acts, such as pedophilia.”
That’s right the Syria Speaker dude really said Legalizing homosexuality will lead to legalization pedophilia. Someone knock some sense into that guys head. How many countries have legalized homosexuality? Now out of those countries how many of them have legalized pedophilia? That is what I thought.
Things got really interesting when the representative of the Holy See(The Vatican) gets into the mix.
“…the Holy See continued to advocate that discrimination against homosexual persons should be avoided and he urged States to do away with criminal penalties against those groups.”
Looks like a good old Christan vs Islamic fight going on here and it seems clear that when it comes to decriminalizing homosexuality in general Muslim countries want you to suffer while Christian countries want you to live.
Rick Warren? Apparently that guy who makes millions talking about god is going to deliver the invocation for Obama at the Presidential inauguration. I wonder if Rick charged a fee for this gig?
The beginning at the video I was kind of cool with the guy, but when he started talking about how gay “marriage equals = mass censorship” it reminded me that he is one of “them”. He kind of Palin’s the ending talking about dinner with gays. How gay marriage somehow means the end of free speech. Really perplexing stuff.
Can someone make any sense of that ending argument of his?
Saw this video featured on LiveLeak. This may be one of the funnier clips of the Phelp cult, but for me as well it is one of the sadder ones as well. Those kids lives are devoid of everything happy and replaced with “Gods Hate”. The real sad thing is that is all they know is “Gods Hate”.
Those evil baby stealing Penguins are making the news again. This story it cropping up to be so unrealistically amazing. Literally I’m half expecting this whole thing to turn out to be some sort viral marketing ploy for a new Penguin Movie.
That evil Gay Penguin couple had recently been segregated from the rest of the colony due to that they were eggnapping. This caused a stir amongst the visitors of the zoo who wanted the staff to give the gay couple a chance.
The two little fellers dreams/natural instincts were full filled when they got two shiny eggs to take care of.
‘We decided to give them two eggs from another couple whose hatching ability had been poor and they’ve turned out to be the best parents in the whole zoo,’ said one of the keepers.
‘It’s very encouraging and if this works out well we will try to arrange for them to become real parents themselves with artificial insemination.’
It is now only a matter of time before a custody battle erupts sparked by a bunch of crazy conservnuts.
