GLBT Issues

The Handbook explains my unnatural connection to my MBP, my control issues, and my love of games just to name a few. I am going to immediately email this to Lisa and then print out multiple copies and tape them to the walls of the rooms in the house where she tries to talk to me and my nerd brain doesn't allow me to listen.

*On a more serious note, I really do listen to everything that Lisa has to say...otherwise she might hurt me!

The Diocese of San Joaquin voted to secede from the Union Episcopal Church. The church was just getting to damned queer friendly. The ordination of a gay bishop was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Now don't get me wrong. I don't think that Watson is either innocent or funny. He is clearly a racist nutbag who has lost his fucking mind. Alzheimer's has settled in and he no longer knows his usual cronies (who he's been sharing these viewing with all of his life) from the media. Doesn't anyone else think that it's interesting that he's only started going public with these comments in (aborting fetuses with gay genes, stupidity as a disease, etc) in the last 10 years? Yep, 70 is a good age for nutbag's mind-mouth barrier to break down.

When you think about it doesn't it make sense that a racist nutbag with a strong belief in eugenics would devote his life to mapping DNA? This is a perfect example for our students (and for us) of choosing research areas that we are deeply invested in so that we do solid work. Nobel laureate nutbag was probably pretty sure that he would be the one to map the human genome and be able to zap out gay, black, and stupid genes at the very least!

The sad this is that in this vein of thinking Senor Nutbag (because I am sure that he would want to be among the "Latin lovers") must now either go and stick his head in an oven or OD on Viagra since he has become one of the inferior/damaged brood.

Nutbag's apology and story at CNN.com

Watson, 79, an American who won the 1962 Nobel prize for his role in the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA, told the Sunday Times he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours, whereas all the testing says not really."

Rest in Peace, Willi.

Willi Ninja, a legendary figure in the ballroom community and a star of the groundbreaking 1990 film "Paris Is Burning," has passed away. He was 45 years old. "As a friend and someone who loved him very much for all he has given us, I am really sad to write that Willi passed away this morning," Emanuel Xavier wrote on his myspace blog today.

Thanks to Lauren for blogging about her experience with PiB in one of my classes. It truly does my heart good to know that something got through.

In the game you are asked to shoot Mexican drug smugglers, nationalists, and "breeders" (pregnant women with children being led by the hand). Of course this game is being linked by all of the white power/neo-nazi sites, that is telling enough for me. ***The BP game site collects cash for ads with clicks so unless you want to play the game I suggest you go here to see screenshots and a few seconds (more than enough I assure you) of game play.***

Is this the high tech response to the immigration protests this month, new census numbers, or just another kairotic moment for ignorant, racist techies (or both)? Talk about rhetorical situation. Let's aim at all of the things that "threaten" america...loose borders, drugs, welfare, and over population (of colored folk), and any number of other things.

I waited a couple of days before I tried to blog about this and now I am finding myself sitting here pulling my hair between each sentence trying not to scream. This brings back memories of my first trip to Texas where some white folks thought that it was okay to bash Hispanics to me ! After centuries of oppression of folks of African descent in this country we are now finding ourselves more acceptable to those in the "inner sanctum"? Reason? Because according to our "friends" down in the Lone Star State at least we are all "american".

Damn, and I already bought my ticket to Texas for C&W next month! Ok, so here's the deal. I am going to wear my iPod everytime I am in public. My response to folks last time was "Are you out of your mind? Did you really think that I would be sympathetic to your "plight"?" After having a few years to stew about it (yes, I am much like a pitbull in that respect) and the new, rawness of Border Patrol I may be inclined to not be so friggin' nice this time around!

Up next from the same developers?

Protect Marriage: Stop the dykes and fags on the way to the alter.

"White" House: No nigger president for america.

Proper Edukkkation: Keep liberal rhetoric out of "our" schools

'Nuff said

Toril over at thinking with my fingers has weighed in with her post "That's so gay..."

The interesting thing now will be to see how Blizzard responds. [edited to add: See Blizzard's response here and scroll up to see the WoW community discussion]

How queer: WoW and their unfortunate LGBT policy (Guardian Gamesblog)

See the extended conversation at Terra Nova and LawGeek

[Edited again to add: Lambda Legal stepped in to speak up for the guild and got this response.

Republican lawmakers are drafting new legislation that will make marriage a requirement for motherhood in the state of Indiana, including specific criminal penalties for unmarried women who do become pregnant "by means other than sexual intercourse."

Only women who are married will be considered for the "gestational certificate" that must be presented to any doctor who facilitates the pregnancy. Further, the "gestational certificate" will only be given to married couples that successfully complete the same screening process currently required by law of adoptive parents.

Now I'm with Lauren when she says I've often thought joked that some people should be tested before giving birth, but this is ridiculous. With stories of "good, married" folk molesting, beating, and killing their children on the news every day these idiots have nothing better to do than to say that queer folks and single women can't use reproductive technologies? It's bad enough that it's already illegal to artificially inseminate at home, but this is completely idiotic.

Let's all come together and thank Sen. Patricia Miller (R)
(317) 232-9400
(800) 382-9467
