Cyndi Lauper goes to Capitol Hill for LGBT Homeless Youth


Instead of showing her crotch or kissing the hot new thing on stage, Cyndi Lauper has been putting her stardom to good use. For many years now, Cyndi has been a fierce advocate for LGBT homeless youth.

Yesterday, Cyndi went to Capitol Hill to talk about homeless youth. She also talked with Senator Susan Collins about LGBT youth being turned away from shelters, especially the Trans youth.

Here's more

Ms. Collins said that could be fixed by requiring shelters that received federal aid to adhere to a nondiscrimination policy, which was a provision in a bill to reauthorize the Runaway and Homeless Youth Act, which expired in 2013. It fell four votes short of the 60-vote threshold for passage as an amendment to a contentious human-trafficking bill.

The problem, Ms. Collins said, was “confusion” over parts of the amendment, including a measure misinterpreted as a restriction on faith-based organizations’ ability to show preference in hiring those of their own faith. Ms. Collins pointed out that the Justice Department already provided that protection. She said she hoped to clarify that when and take another crack at passing the measure she originally introduced.

“Well, when will that be, do you think?” Ms. Lauper asked.

“I don’t know exactly,” Ms. Collins said.

“Then what should we do?” Ms. Lauper said.

Keep pushing, Ms. Collins responded. But she has yet to discuss another effort to reauthorize the legislation, either as a stand-alone bill or an amendment, with Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky.

“Who is that guy?” Ms. Lauper asked.

“He is the majority leader,” Ms. Collins said. “He decides what comes to the floor.”

I applaud Cyndi for doing this. Our youth need a champion and I think she is that person.

Interesting Quote: Justice Ginsburg


[Same-sex couples] wouldn’t be asking for this relief if the law of marriage was what it was a millennium ago. I mean, it wasn’t possible. Same-sex unions would not have opted into the pattern of marriage, which was a relationship, a dominant and a subordinate relationship. Yes, it was marriage between a man and a woman, but the man decided where the couple would be domiciled; it was her obligation to follow him. There was a change in the institution of marriage to make it egalitarian when it wasn’t egalitarian. And same-sex unions wouldn’t — wouldn’t fit into what marriage was once.

Justice Ginsburg goes in on the case against gay marriage.

Interesting Quote: Jonathan Groff



For me, the ongoing discussion about representation and if the show is doing a good or bad job of that was further reason to keep the show going. Obviously these were issues people felt passionate about and stirred up a lot of conversation, and that was really exciting to me, and it further proved the point that having a show like this on the air is really important. 
It also taught me something I didn’t know about the gay community: We’ve reached a point now where the gay community is so broad, in its ages, its feelings and its stories. It’s now a teenage boy bringing his boyfriend to the prom, as much as it is a 55-year-old man. Literally, a 55-year-old man came up to me at the stage door three weeks ago to tell me that Looking is saving his life and he’s thinking now about coming out of the closet. There’s such a broad range of experiences, and the gay community is in such an interesting place, where we’re so multifaceted and multidimensional. 
To me, the response to the show demonstrated that there’s so little gay programming and so many gay stories, so a lot of people wanted it to be their story. Hopefully one thing that’ll come from the show is that more people will feel inspired to share their stories.”

Gay Hoteliers who Hosted a Ted Cruz Fundraiser, didn't know he was Anti-Gay

Ian and Mati

Hoteliers Ian Reisner and Mati Weiderpass are pieces of work.

These rich fools held a fundraiser for Ted Cruz last week. Yes, they did. These gay men had a fundraiser for Ted ASS Cruz! Well, you know the community were highly pissed about it. Several groups, like the New York Gay Men's Choir and Broadway Cares has pulled out or cancelled fundraisers in their facilities because of this.

But the funny thing about all of this foolishness is their responses.

Mati claims they were trying to have a dialogue with Cruz, and Ian... Lord, this fool claims he knew nothing about Ted Cruz anti-gay drama.

On his Facebook post, Ian wrote:

I am shaken to my bones by the e-mails, texts, postings and phone calls of the past few days. I made a terrible mistake....

My 1 Cent on The Prancing Elites Project


So, I was watching the new auction oxygen to show, The Prancing Elites Project and I have to say I was a little concerned at first, because it could go in so many directions.

Now, if you don't know about the series just watched a clip here


I watched the first episode and I was a bit shaky about it. They faced the worst of the worst down in Alabama. And they are products of that deep south life. I cringed when they wasn't aware of certain things that most folks are aware of. I get that everyone isn't college educated or cultured, but I was bothered by their 'unawareness' of stuff.

However, in all, I really applaud their bravery. I applaud them for being real and being themselves. But I wonder if this show will portray them in a positive light. Reality shows have a tendency of going in opposite and negative places. If mishandled, it could play on stereotypes about Black gay and trans men. Again, there's so many things that worries me about the show, but I will kept watching. I want to support them and I hope this series truly tell they stories.

Watch Daredevil, folks!


Have you watched Daredevil on Netflix?

OMG, I love the series. It's dark, rough and sexy. And speaking of sexy, Charlie Cox... Oh man, he is so cute! I haven't really seen him in much, but now I am like watching everything with him in it. 

The rest of the cast is so good, as well. It's really amazing what they have accomplished in this series. I wish Arrow would bring it like DD, but I'll just leave that alone for now. I'm telling you to check out the series, the great cast and the great story. I think you will enjoy it.

READ Bobby Jindal's Op Ed: I’m Holding Firm Against Gay Marriage



From the NYT
THE debate over religious liberty in America presents conservatives and business leaders with a crucial choice.

In Indiana and Arkansas, large corporations recently joined left-wing activists to bully elected officials into backing away from strong protections for religious liberty. It was disappointing to see conservative leaders so hastily retreat on legislation that would simply allow for an individual or business to claim a right to free exercise of religion in a court of law.

Our country was founded on the principle of religious liberty, enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Why shouldn’t an individual or business have the right to cite, in a court proceeding, religious liberty as a reason for not participating in a same-sex marriage ceremony that violates a sincerely held religious belief?

That is what Indiana and Arkansas sought to do. That political leaders in both states quickly cowered amid the shrieks of big business and the radical left should alarm us all.

As the fight for religious liberty moves to Louisiana, I have a clear message for any corporation that contemplates bullying our state: Save your breath.

Koch Brothers chooses Scott Walker as their GOP Fave




Well, the Koch Brothers have found their golden child. While they are not fully endorsing anyone, they have noted that this guy is their favorite.

That guy is Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Surprised? Yes and no.

I thought they would have found someone we haven't talked about recently. Someone who's CLEAN, free from scandal and silly statements. Also, I thought they would be daring and go for Marco Rubio or someone of color. You know, completely shake it up and taunt their 'Kingmaker' cred, but nope, they picked Dummy Smurf as their GOP Master of the Universe.

During last night's fund-raising event for the New York State Republican Party, David Koch teased about Scott getting the nomination and how he should be the one. Scott was reportedly modest about the praise, but it must've felt good to have the Kings of White Privilege crown you.

But please keep in mind that none of Koch's favorites make it to the top.

In Pennsylvania: High School Students creates “Anti-Gay Day”

via Buzzfeed

So... Teens...

Last Friday, these boys from McGuffey High School got together and created “Anti-Gay Day”. They wore flannel shirts and wrote Anti-Gay on their hands. These delinquents also harassed and targeted gay students throughout the day.

Some students believe these boys created this day in response to the Day of Silence. The students who were involved in this mess are being investigated for this foolishness and parents are not happy about their homophobic actions.

What bothers me is how these boys thought it would be cool and acceptable to do this. They planned this, they sat down and planned this. Somebody should be looking at their reasons for doing this and why they felt comfortable being harassers and somewhat dangerous. I feel like these boys are harboring some dark feelings to show up at school with the intention to spread hate and discord. There's seriously something wrong here.

Interesting Quote: Giorgio Armani


"A homosexual man is a man 100%. He does not need to dress homosexual. When homosexuality is exhibited to the extreme - to say, 'Ah, you know I'm homosexual,' - that has nothing to do with me.

100 Scholars submit Anti-Gay Marriage Brief to SCOTUS

For awhile now, crackheads are filing briefs to SCOTUS , hoping to stop the gay marriage ruling. A lot of these briefs are garbage and ashes, just like this one here.

100 Scholars filed the latest brief. This document of mess cites Mark Regnerus, who's been discredited several times and the writer is from the Heritage Foundation. Then, if you look into the 'Scholars', most of them come from religious schools and have no real educational accreditation to save their lives. Basically, these scholars are nobodies in the academic world, so why would SCOTUS pay them any attention?

Plus, the info they're using is pointless and holds no legal weight at all. In fact, why even submit this garbage in the first place. Chile, if you're trying fight in a war, you're not going to win with paper guns and jello bullets. It's so ridic they're using this mess to justify their position. How dumb do they think we are?

Gov. Bill Haslam and Attorney General Herbert Slatery basically said, "This bill is crazy" and completely opposed it. AG Slatery believes the bill violates the state and federal constitutions.

Anti-Gay Owner of DieselTec doesn't have a Business License


Brian Klawiter is full of crap!

I just learned that his anti-gay business owner, DieselTec, doesn't have a business license! No license to function! Brian told the City Council of Grandville that requiring a license violates his constitutional rights because it gives city inspectors the ability to enter his property without a warrant.

Lord, this man's a joke. Here's more:
"This is a blatant and intentioned violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution," Klawiter told the council on Jan. 26. "I dispute your lawful ability to do what you claim. I will not sign the application. I cannot and will not give up my civil rights, especially when requested by a government entity for which the Constitution was designed to limit the power of.

"Would you sign something giving me the right to search your home as I pleased?"

It came to the city's attention last year that Dieseltec lacks a city business license, City Clerk Mary Meines said. Grandville requires businesses to pay a $100 licensing fee, with no cost for annual renewals.

The licensing process requires applicants to share contact information and details about the business premises, such as alarm system information. A city licensing ordinance states that inspectors have the right to enter a licensed building without a warrant.

Grandville notified Dieseltec that it needs to get licensed, prompting Klawiter to attend the meeting at which he objected to the licensing.

"We don't usually run into this," Meines said. "Usually they're cooperative and do it.
"We've sent him all the paperwork and all the forms. It's really in his court to come in and take it out. We'll have to decide what way to go if he doesn't."

It's so amazing to see how these faux Christians cry wolf at a drop of a hat for the all mighty dollar. I mean, it was very clear what he was doing. This DieselTec is in the middle of nowhere. What compelled him to speak out like that?

I can tell you... Greed. Yes, folks, greed was the main reason why he needed to confess his love for Jesus and shit on us. Funny, how the conservatives thought they were helping some hillbilly pizza place only to create more corrupt 'Christians'. It's almost sad in a way.

In Tennessee: House votes Bible as Official State Book



Tennessee, ready?

The Tennessee House of Representatives voted the Bible to be the official book of the state. Yep, these fools think it's important to make the Bible legit, even though it may be unconstitutional.

Here's more of this mess:

Despite questions of constitutionality, lawmakers beat back an attempt to make Andrew Jackson's Bible the official book and voted 55-38 in favor of Rep. Jerry Sexton's original bill.

"History's going to tell us where we stand on this. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to have the side that I'm on," said Sexton, R-Bean Station, after the vote.

"It may be kind to me in the future and it may not be kind, and that's OK. I made a decision for today and I feel good about it."

Although a GOP-led effort, House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, was one of 20 Republicans to vote against the measure. House Minority Leader Craig Fitzhugh, D-Ripley, and four Republicans abstained. Only six Democrats voted in favor of the bill.

Rep. John Ragan, R-Oak Ridge, suggested making Jackson's Bible the official state book. He thought the move would have shifted the bill into safer legal waters, noting Attorney General Herbert Slatery's opinion that making the Bible the official state book would violate the state and federal constitutions. Reps. Matthew and Timothy Hill, brothers and Republicans, questioned why Ragan chose Jackson's Bible. Matthew Hill asked why not Elvis' Bible; Timothy Hill asked why not consider Davy Crockett's Bible.
Hopefully, the governor will veto this crap.

Hillary Clinton wants SCOTUS to Rule in Favor for Marriage Equality


Hillary Clinton has voiced her support for the Supreme Court to rule in favor marriage equality. Campaign spokesperson, Adrienne Elrod, said that Hillary believes same-sex couples should have the constitutional right to marry in this country.

Adrienne said this to Washington Blade
“Hillary Clinton supports marriage equality and hopes the Supreme Court will come down on the side of same-sex couples being guaranteed that constitutional right.”
Well alright, she's putting the cards on the table. Go Hill-Hill.

Caption This: Marco Rubio


Really? Bottom For Hillary?



From their site:
We are small but powerful group that encourages Hillary Clinton to run for President in 2016. We recognize the unbelievable force that is Hillary Clinton. So much so, that we admit that we would willingly bottom for her. It does not matter if you usually bottom, or if you usually top but can't resist the Clinton. She is a bad ass bitch. She is the head bitch in charge. She is the Ma'damnnnnn President. Ideally we would be bottoming for her as we were voting for her. We will display our love for Hillary but informing the world of our desire to bottom for her. Buy a shirt, have no shame, and vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
So is this what we are doing now for attention?

I'm sorry, maybe I'm old, but I find this to be so tacky and 10th grade realness. This is not the gay vote to promote or even talk about. Hell, why am I talking about this? This 'campaign' is not helpful or encouraging, it's completely silly.

Hopefully, it will sashay away soon.

Jake Tapper to Marco Rubio: ‘You’re the Candidate of Yesterday’ on Gay Marriage

Interesting Quote: Marco Rubio


Well, to be fair, I haven't read the change in detail to give you an opinion on it specifically, but I'll tell you where I stand. I don't believe you can discriminate against people. So I don't believe it's right for a florist to say, I'm not going to provide you flowers because you're gay. I think there's a difference between not providing services to a person because of their identity, who they are or who they love, and saying, I'm not going to participate in an event, a same-sex wedding, because that violates my religious beliefs. There's a distinction between those two things. So, certainly, you can't not — it's immoral and wrong to say, I'm not going to allow someone who's gay or lesbian to use my restaurant, stay in my hotel, or provide photography service to them because they're gay. The difference here is, we're not talking about discriminating against a person because of who they are, we're talking about someone who's saying — what I'm talking about, anyway, is someone who's saying, I just don't want to participate as a vendor for an event, a specific event that violates the tenets of my faith.

"I wasn’t ready. And in the end, remember something: Everything that everybody said back in 2011 about me running in 2012 was all theoretical. It was all based on the inherent assumption of ‘He’ll do well if he performs well.’ Well, that second part of the sentence is really important. The only way you’re going to perform well is if you believe in your heart that you’re ready to be president. And I didn’t. And so there was no way I would have won in 2012. I wouldn’t have, because I wasn’t ready.”

New Poll shows Folks in Indiana are not Happy about RFRA


After all of the drama and foolishness, the people of Indiana have spoken... They're not here for RFRA.

Buzzfeed sheds the light of this poll:

A poll released Monday by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research found that 85% of Hoosiers say business owners should not be allowed to turn away a customer based on sexual orientation or gender identity, even if an owner says homosexuality violates their religious beliefs. Just 12% said a business should be allowed to turn away customers due to religion — 3% did not know or refused to answer.

Gov. Mike Pence had signed a religious freedom law amid furor on April 2.
“Pence and his supporters in the legislature may have imagined this issue energizing their base without any real collateral impact outside of a minority of LGBT activists,” says a polling memo issued by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research. “They could not have been more wrong.”

At issue was a Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which LGBT advocates said could be used by businesses to turn away clients. After an outcry and a plea from Pence to “fix” the bill, legislators approved an amendment that said the law could not be raised as a defense in discrimination cases.

Even despite those revisions, the pollsters found 53% of voters have an unfavorable view of Pence for signing it into law, compared with 38% who had a favorable impression of him approving the law. Meanwhile, 75% of voters said the law and the controversy around it was bad for business.

Overall, the poll also found Pence had a 39% favorability rating to 38% unfavorability rating.

The poll was conducted from April 7–9.
