Dear Sir,

Fuck you and your holier, more cock-suckier, queerer than thou attitude.

You don't get to define Queer for me. You do not get to relegate me the legions of the sheep-like heteronormative, purely on the basis that my life goals are different to yours, that my gender roles are different to yours. You don't get to denigrate anyone else ( Read more... )

I recently got to explain to a twenty year old gay man why he can't get gonorrhea by sitting on a barstool at the local gay bar's underwear night.

And people ask me why I want to do social research on sexual health? That. Right there. Yeesh.

Great news! Now we get awards just because we're not heterosexual!

No, really!

I know I'm impressed. We finally get the recognition we deserve for going against the presumed default of heterosexuality. A Teen Choice award at that! It even has a suitably gay name to reinforce just what the award is for ( Read more... )

First, go and read this.

Back with us? Good.

I'd like to point out one or two things.

They're not doing it. They're ( Read more... )

There's been some recent dialogue in the Australian pagan community around religious marriage celebrants.

It seems that the Health minister, Nicola Roxon, is half-assedly scrambling out of the way after yesterday's news that she had appointed unqualified homophobes as ambassadors for Men's Health ( Read more... )

So, two of the new Men's Health ambassadors named by Nicola Roxon appear to be, uh... a leeeetle biased. They keel to one side a bit.

Like a top heavy ship hitting an ice berg, or a bird with one wing attempting to fly.

The Age article is here. These two men authored a paper called '21 Reasons Why Gender Matters', published by the Fatherhood ( Read more... )

"Shirley Phelps-Roper told jurors that she was an angel assigned to speak the truth to earth dwellers, that God hates their evil."

Frankly, that sentence is two letters away from a cup of Kool-aid and a straight jacket...

Not only does Here! TV present oodles of original queer programming and movies, the cable and pay-per-view network also provides a steady stream of work for gay TV icons like Thea Gill ("Queer as Folk") and Jensen Atwood ("Noah's Arc"). Now the channel has snagged another "QAF" star - gay hottie Robert Gant - for a new series of spy movies. "Kiss ( Read more... )
