Homophobic Harassment During Gay Pride
FROM THE CAMERA MAN: My friend and I were leaving the Gay Pride Festival in Minneapolis, MN (6/27/09) and came across a group of kids who asked my friend if he was gay. When he answered "yes", they proceeded to harass him and me with verbal threats and even throwing rocks at my friend at one point. Sad...
UPDATE: The Minneapolis Police Department has contacted me to let me know that the two guys in the video who look like police officers are NOT police officers and were in fact private security for the apartment building we were walking next to.

**THE KILLING OF A NAVY MAN, AUGUST PROVOST, MAY BE AN ACTUAL GAY HATE CRIME. SOURCE
According to media accounts, Provost was gay. Those assertions are supported by statements the sailor himself made on his MySpace page. Provost was shot several times and that "it appears someone attempted to destroy evidence by lighting a fire at seamen Provost's assigned place of duty."

No longer will "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" possibly lead to 10-year jail sentences. The law, however, was never really about sentencing gay men and women to prison, but giving the police an excuse to harass the community at will

ANNA WINTOUR ::: A MAJOR BITCH
Anna Wintour, the legendary editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine for twenty years, is the most powerful and polarizing figure in fashion. Hidden behind her trademark bob and sunglasses, she has never allowed anyone to scrutinize the inner workings of her magazine. Until now. With unprecedented access, filmmaker R.J. Cutlers new film, takes the viewer inside a world they only think they know.
BLACK GAY MEN AT A GREATER RISK
**APPERENTLY BLACK GAY MEN ARE NOT AS HOT AND WANTED BY THE MASSES AS WE THINK WE ARE. WE ARE SO DESPERATE THESE DAYS WE ARE LITERALLY FUCKING EACH OTHER AND BEING PASSED FROM ONE FRIEND TO THE NEXT. THIS IS HOWEVER, CAUSING A RISE IN HIV NUMBERS AMONGST BLACK GAY MEN. JUST SOMETHING ELSE THAT WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. SOURCE
Social barriers faced by black gay men may have a serious impact on their health and well-being, U.S. researchers said.
H. Fisher Raymond and Willi McFarland of the San Francisco Department of Public Health said black gay men have less choice when it comes to sexual partners than other groups and, as a result, their sexual networks are closely knit.
These tightly interconnected networks make the rapid spread of human immunodeficiency virus more likely, the researchers said.
A total of 1,142 gay men took part in computer-assisted interviews. They were asked about their own ethnicity, the race of their sexual partners in the last six months, their perception of how easy it is to meet sexual partners of different ethnicities, where they meet sexual partners, their view of HIV infection risk and the predominant race of their network of friends.
DONT ASK DONT TELL YOU WHAT?
**DONT ASK DONT TELL WHAT, THAT IM GAY, THAT YOUR GAY? WELL SOMEONE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE SOME SMALL CHANGES TO THIS LAW SINCE SOME OTHER FOLKS IN THE WHITE HOUSE ARE TAKING THEIR SWEET ASS TIME ABOUT ABOLISHING THE BILL ALL TOGETHER. SOURCE
Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday he wants to make the law prohibiting gays from serving openly in the armed forces "more humane" until Congress eventually repeals it. He said he has lawyers studying ways the law might be selectively enforced.
"One of the things we're looking at is, is there flexibility in how we apply this law?" Gates said.
For example, Gates said, the military might not have to expel someone whose sexual orientation was revealed by a third party out of vindictiveness or suspect motives. That would include, Gates said, someone who was "jilted" by the gay service member.
THE WHITE HOUSE SAID HELL NAW
**THE WHITE HOUSE SAID HELL TO THE NAW, THEY AINT CHANGING SHIT. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS OFFERED A JOB TO A MAN AND LATER FOUND OUT THAT THE MAN WAS ABOUT TO GO THROUGH SEXUAL REASSIGNMENT SURGERY. THEY RECENDED THE JOB AFTER AND GOT THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM IN A LAWSUIT THAT THEY LOST. PAY UP BITCHES! SOURCE
Diane Schroer, a retired Army Special Forces commander from Alexandria, Va., had been offered a job at the Library of Congress when he was a man, David Schroer. The job was rescinded the day after Schroer told a library official he was going to have an operation to become a woman.
The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit on Schroer's behalf in 2005, and two months ago a federal judge awarded her $491,190 in back pay and damages because of sex discrimination.
The Library of Congress and President George W. Bush's Justice Department had argued unsuccessfully that discrimination because of transsexuality was not illegal sex discrimination under the Civil Rights Act.
Schroer said she saw the administration's decision not to appeal as a recognition that transgender discrimination must end and "gives me renewed hope and restores some of my shaken faith in what our country stands for."
