Washington University in St. Louis is giving an honorary degree to anti-gay activist Ms. Phylis Schlafly founder of the Eagle Forum a right wing group opposed to LGBT equality and feminism. This woman has fought tirelessly against marriage equality even though her own son is gay, and she has said women should not work and believes they belong in the kitchen.

@#$%ING CENSORSHIP
This is ridiculous. Feel free to x-post EVERYWHERE. Let people know.... because this is an issue that AFFECTS EVERYONE (not just glbt people) and it isn't just happening in Indiana.

"NEW" CENSORSHIP LAWS TRYING TO TAKE AWAY FREE SPEECH AND INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS
or, what I like to call, "Leave my rights alone and get the @#$% out of my house."

Hi, I'm new here. I have something I've been needing to share with people who might understand, and any response would be greatly appreciated. I wrote this in my personal journal a while ago.
Thank You )

Great Video
May not be safe for homophobic workplaces, there's no offensive nudity (aside from a patial titty shot) and there's male-male-female kissing and touching.

Thank you for being my friend
I want to say thank you to everyone who sent me good wishes on my publication day.

I've tried to reply to some of you individually, but I know I missed some. All these kind thoughts and words meant a lot to me, and I'm thrilled that people are interested in Phyllida's success.

a small vote against homophobia?
From the American Family Association:

"Procter & Gamble has resumed using explicit, open-mouth homosexual kissing in their soap opera, “As the World Turns.” P&G decided to include this type of content as a commitment to “diversity.” P&G stopped showing such scenes some months ago, but has now decided to again help promote the homosexual agenda which includes homosexual marriage.

Gay activists are hopeful that the P&G effort will desensitize viewers to the homosexual lifestyle and help make the unhealthy and immoral lifestyle more acceptable to society, especially to children and youth.

“As the World Turns” is owned and controlled completely by P&G. No network made this decision. P&G alone made the decision to support the homosexual agenda.


But, hey, Proctor and Gamble is letting people vote - should they be homophobic jerks or not? It's a free call, very quick.

To vote:
*call the number: 1-800-331-3774.
*you may be asked to Press 1 for English/2 for Spanish, I was not
*then they ask you if you are calling about something else (option 1) or the gay couple storyline (option 2) so hit 2 to get to the As the World Turns poll.
*press 1 to tell them you want the storyline to continue. (or two if you don't)

I don't watch soaps. But I hate the AFA and their desire to make all non-hetro people disappear or at least crawl into a shame hole. So I voted for the story line. I encourage you to do the same.

(and thanks to my incredible friend for bringing this to my attention)

Current Mood: hopeful

The LGBT society at my university (Swansea uni) has just put forward the design for our new t shirts; Swansea in large rainbow letters on the front, and our names on the back. I don't know about you guys but this set off several very loud alarm bells in my head, and gave me the initial reaction of "How bloody dare you!".

I have since contacted some of the other reps (I'm Campaigns rep myself) and asked if I can give the speach under the cut below at tonight's meeting.

What are your oppinions on the design, do you agree with my points, or am I just being some annoying picky bisexual?

I feel quite outraged that nobody thought of the implications of the design (I wasn't present due to flu the week it was discussed), but at the same time am worried I'm over reacting, especially so because I am one of three regular bisexuals, neither of which had any problem with the design.

Please guys, am I just some mad woman??

The speach as it was originally posted. )

The speach with your comments taken into consideration, thank you! )

Edit: Some posters have pointed out the rainbow flag can apply to LGBT as a whole. Personally I feel that people make the gay assumption when they see the flag and do not pause to wonder if it is bi or trans that applies in that instance (thus having the flag ONLY would be incorrect and unfair). My points about not having LGBT in text on the shirts stand as fair points in my opinion. By all means discuss it out, I'm curious as to what everyone has to say.

Edit #2: Thank you very much for your input everyone! I have made some alterations to my speach based on the comments so far. I am leaving the house now, but please continue to comment if you wish :)

Publication eve
My "debut novel" (how's that for making me feel eighteen again?), Phyllida and the Brotherhood of Philander, is being released tomorrow. In this age of the life lived online, I have this nagging feeling there's something I'm supposed to say, something I should do to mark this momentous (to me) occasion. How can I expect potential readers to notice me and, more important, seek out my book, if I just sit quietly and let the moment pass?

Looking for research participants
I took down my survey because it hadn't been approved by the IRB yet and I had to revise some of the questions and answer options, but now it's back up. Your help is greatly appreciated.
