The Cute & Not Cute LGBT Moments in 2010

CUTE: Gareth Thomas and Ricky Martin comes out. One was a surprise, the other really wasn't but it was very interesting news.

NOT CUTE: NOM's Summer Tour - The Haters went on tour, hoping to win over supporters. But it was a huge waste of money and time. But it was fun to watch on YouTube.

NOT CUTE: Logo's A-List - This was the biggest setback to our cause, EVER. In the midst of us fighting for our rights, LOGO puts this mess on TV. Many gays hated it and others were ashamed to admit they watched it. This show proved that insecurity is a powerful thing.

CUTE & NOT CUTE: Dan Choi - I think of him as a wounded hero. At the beginning of his activism, he was on point. But as the year progressed, he started to lose it. From ranting on Twitter, Hunger Strikes and coming off half crazy on Hardball; Dan was falling apart before our very eyes. Near the end of the year, Dan had a breakdown. Luckily, he's okay, but I hope he takes a break in 2011.

CUTE & NOT CUTE: GetEQUAL - I applaud their in your face style and their fierce boldness, but I felt that all their vigor was used on the wrong folks. Throughout this year, GetEQUAL spent most of their time attacking allies and not our enemies. NOM, AFA, FRC and other Anti-Gay politicians/groups never felt GetEQUAL's fire. I never understood that plan or the point they were making. To be honest, it felt like they were scared of our enemies. Hopefully this year, they will have a better strategy.

NOT CUTE: Blogger Madness - Again, several bloggers went Obama/Dems crazy and spewed out half-truths, lies and misinformation. The ringleader was AmericaBLOG, posting several pieces that were either blown up rumors or flawed posts that were debunked within a couple of hours. It got to the point that many gays FINALLY start questioning their motives. I know I did. But I was happy knowing that most of them are eating crow sandwiches after Obama and Dems delivered the DADT repeal.

CUTE: Prop 8 was found to be UNCONSTITUTIONAL - A great moment for us Californians.

NOT CUTE:  Ken Mehlman comes out - The man who help orchestrated Bush 2004 Anti-Gay marriage campaign decided to come out. He wasn't welcomed with open arms. 

GAY SUICIDES: We lost too many to bullying and abuse, this cannot continue this coming year.

CUTE/NOT CUTE: Cindy McCain - Yes, she did a NoH8 pic and a pro-Gay video, but later she took it back by siding with her husband.

CUTE:  Morehouse College - In 2009, they issued this odd dress code that targeted some of the gay students. But in 2010, they hosted their first Gay Pride week, with B.SCOTT as a special guest. I thought it was a great first step in embracing their gay students.

NOT CUTE: Tiwonge Chimbalanga and Steven Monjeza - Many of us watch as this couple faced prison for being out n Malawi. After everything they went through, they broke up and Steven got engaged to a woman.

CUTE: It's Gets Better - The teen suicides brought many of us together to reach out to the overall LGBT community. This is a great project.  

CUTE: DADT is repealed!

Reichen, if you can't Take the Heat, Stay off the A-List

Lord Reichen Lehmkuhl, I guess he wasn't warned that doing a reality show about Z-list wannabees would attract some heavy criticism.

In Next Magazine the editor had this to say:

The A-List: New York (Logo)
Where to begin? The "reality" show everyone loved to hate probably cancelled out 100 "It Gets Better" videos with its cringe-worthy depictions of Reichen, Rodiney and the other vapid queens trying to impress upon viewers why they're important. (Hint, if you have to explain why you're A-list, you're probably not.)

Well, he wasn't happy about that and wrote this in response (this is just some of the letter):

Dear Dan,
I just read in a column distributed by Michael Musto that you were quoted in saying that the reality show that I did over the summer, "The A-List New York", was merely "vapid queens" trying to impress on everyone why we are important. You specifically mentioned myself and my boyfriend, Rodiney.

First, I don't appreciate your bullying words. You can save your "vapid queens" comment for, well, no one. I can't even imagine speaking this way about other human beings. That you would reduce my existence to someone who is a "vapid queen" says more about what you don't know about me, along with the kind of person you must be. Is this seriously how a "senior editor" at a magazine talks about people?

Second, I'd like for you to point out which scene(s) depicted me or Rodiney trying to impress upon anyone how "important" we are. Is it that you IMAGINED scenes like this? Or do you just feel less important by default? Trust me, there are no scenes where we impress any sort of thing on anyone. We aren't like that as people, on or off the screen. We are humble, caring, HUMAN BEINGS, in case you forgot to explore that side of us. We lived our summer on a TV show and had 3600 hours of filming reduced to 3 hours that you actually saw, broadcast over 10 episodes that we watched, sometimes in horror, at all that was left OUT that would have depicted us as balanced people who react accordingly to situations. That you would make a public accusation that we would ever think we are "important" or "more important" than anyone else, is ridiculous. It's ignorant.

 Okay, boo. But you act like you haven't seen your own show. We did. Or rather they did, I could only do clips. But maybe these are the reasons you all were labeled hot messes






This doesn't make folks give a damn, it just makes us go WTF is this?

GOProud, when are you going to FRAKKING get it! Conservatives Don't Like You!

This silly group continues to beg for the hater's attention. As some of you may know, CPAC 2011 is coming soon. And like last year, GOProud is trying to be a part of this hater parade. However, several groups wasn't happy with GOProud's presence in 2010.

Now some of them are boycotting CPAC 2011

"We've been very involved in CPAC for over a decade and have managed a couple of popular sessions. However, we will no longer be involved with CPAC because of the organization's financial mismanagement and movement away from conservative principles," said Tom McClusky, senior vice president for FRC Action. 

"CWA has decided not to participate in part because of GOProud," CWA President Penny Nance told WND. 

FRC and CWA join the American Principles Project, American Values, Capital Research Center, the Center for Military Readiness, Liberty Counsel, and the National Organization for Marriage in withdrawing from CPAC. In November, APP organized a boycott of CPAC over the participation of GOProud.

I don't get GOProud at all, these folks could care less about us and will do anything to crap on our rights. Yet, GOProud continues to cling to their side. Are these folks gluttons for punishment? This makes no sense at all, ya'll.

GOProud, get a clue... They are NOT into you!!
